Really? She said that in some rare cases that vaccines do lead to autism. You did not hear her say that?

Actually not, your quoting would be wrong. She didn't say that. It'd be nice if you didn't put words in her mouth to try to prove your case.

There are many diseases and conditions that have symptoms similar to those of autism. That's why ASD was originally misdiagnosed so often.

So that just leaves us with the question of how rare it actually is. I have heard many, many stories from parents who have almost the same type of vaccine injury story as Hannah Polling who was awarded compensation in Vaccine Injury court because they agreed that her vaccinations caused her autism.

Yes, because legal courts are the pinnacle of medical competency.

Thousands of parents are speaking out with the same story

The same story of correlation is not causation.

These parents have been ridiculed and silenced and have suffered in silence. They need to be heard and believed and helped.

Only in America would you be more inclined to find a patsy to milk for cash instead of seeking medical help for your autistic children. Autism is not a new thing, it's been around quite a while, even before vaccinations were a thing, it was just a mental disorder or a mania among other. But now that it's known, and definitely expensive to treat in the US, you turn to the law and try to find someone to blame for it. How about a bit of socialism and a free health care system instead?

I won't stop speaking out about this just because some people say the same old line of "Vaccines Don't Cause Autism" and expect that to end the subject.

Well you are doing more harm than good that way.

The suffering has to stop.

Well, nope, autism isn't going anywhere whether you beat that drum or not. But I'm sure a whole lot of deadly but preventable diseases will come back flying after you lot stop vaccinating yourselves.

The head of the CDC said directly on national television (CNN) that vaccines can trigger "autism-like symptoms" in children with specific mitochondrial predispositions. Testing for these predispositions is still not done prior to vaccinations. When pressed for an answer as to whether "autism-like symptoms" and "autism" meant the same thing, the then head of the CDC refused to answer. Simply posting a one line, unsubstantiated claim does nothing for your argument or for this conversation.

I will google, since you didn't provide a link.

Edit:

Ok, I Googled this up and I'm not convinced. It clearly looks like there's an opposition to vaccinations who know little to nothing of either vaccines nor autism. I could even make the statement that I as a layman know more about autism than most of the people who boycott and lobby against using vaccines. The arguments you guys are pushing don't convince me, at all. And to think neuropsychiatrists and other medical experts world wide are in on a conspiracy to "infect" people with autism or whatever boogeyman du-jour. I'm not buying it. Vaccines on the other hand are an old and proven invention, and they really really do work. That's the one thing anti-vaxxers never seem to get in their thick skulls. There are diseases there that are really bad, and since they can be prevented simply by teaching the body to defend itself, what could be dandier?

One other thing that I find stupid about your campaigns is that you claim there's a 700 % rise in autism cases. In case you didn't know, since autism has been around us longer than it has been diagnosed, it is no wonder that we are more accurate and not simply misdiagnosing it as schitsofrenia or bi-polar disorder or some other developmental disorder. Furthermore you must know that the full autism spectrum (ASD) is much more than just the apparent infantile autism you peeps are always going on about.

Simply the much quoted 8-fold increase in autism cases can be accredited to increased awareness, more precise diagnostic criteria and changes in practice for diagnosing autism. There's really nothing to indicate vaccinations cause autism.

Did you watch the video of the head of the CDC on CNN? Which part of that video, specifically, do you view as not linking certain vaccines to autism?

Look, I don't have time for arguing. I know the autism link has been debunked for the billionth time already. Could you please find some new conspiracy theories to chew on? This one particularly is lame.

Not an argument. I hope you have a nice new year. I am also done here. Peace.

More than "google-ing this up," you actually have to take the time and read the studies with some modicum of rigor and non-bias.

I found the link for you. I'm glad that you are digging further into this.
All the best!

Yes, watched that. The figures quoted in the video are bogus, and they can all be explained by people and doctors having better understanding over ASD and that misdiagnoses are being made less.

I didn't find anything damning about what she said on the video.

Really? She said that in some rare cases that vaccines do lead to autism. You did not hear her say that?

So that just leaves us with the question of how rare it actually is. I have heard many, many stories from parents who have almost the same type of vaccine injury story as Hannah Polling who was awarded compensation in Vaccine Injury court because they agreed that her vaccinations caused her autism.

Thousands of parents are speaking out with the same story -- and that is the awareness that I am spreading on Steemit. These parents have been ridiculed and silenced and have suffered in silence. They need to be heard and believed and helped.

Yes, very good. Your can find it on YouTube.

Yea I did. It was bogus, nothing she said could be interpreted as if she is a part of a conspiracy trying to kill you with autism.

When did I make that claim?

With all due respect, you are all over the place here. I asserted that she said vaccines can trigger "autism-like" symptoms and refused to explain what that meant, specifically. Is my claim erroneous? If so, how? No one (except you) here has said anything about a "conspiracy trying to kill you with autism." That is an absurd claim, and nobody has made it.
