Health Update: More Proof That Vaccines Don't Cause Autism

Nothing has 100% effectiveness, we could expect it, but that is not possible. Still vaccines have proven to be life saving for many diseases since their introduction in our society, just do the research.

Well I know why my son has Autism, we took him to a geneticist and he was shown to have a micro-duplication on a Chromosome that has been linked to Autism. Sometimes we are skeptical about Scientist making claims to support drug companies making money, but withholding vaccines could also make our children so sick that we will have to buy other drugs from these companies.

My son has Autisim, he had all his shots and will continue to get them on schedule. He was talking and reaching his milestones but started to regress, such is the traits of Autism. Yes it did happen around the time of his vaccinations and so did many other developmental milestones. We don't attribute the good developmental milestones to vaccines do we?

Looks like someone from the pharmaceutical company wrote another article trying to fool unsuspecting parents. Don't fall for it! We have had our 2 year old, who has autism, tested many times, and have found high levels of antimony, aluminum, and many other toxins / preservatives that primarily came from vaccinations. Therefore, we have PROOF. There is more than one type of poisonous perservative!

MMR has caused developmental and neurological damage there are families that claimed the vaccine caused damage to their children and WON!! They won cause they argued the vaccine cause developmental or neurological damage if they would of included autism they would of lost cause the courts don't want vaccines to be linked to autism! Do your research before claiming theres NO link!!

MMR and other combined shots can be broken up. Not all peds will do it most hospitals will.What does it hurt to give your child the best chance you can offer them?Above all educate yourself do not soley depend on doctors or anyone else that stands to profit.

After watching my nephew go through it I made the mistake of not educating myself. I watched the change in my daughter I have videos where you can see the drastic change. With my next child I will follow an alternative shot schedule.Waiting until they are older and 1 shot at a time so their immune system has a chance.

Be carefully in what you read online. This article is misleading, it should ready "These specific ingredients, that have been tested, do not cause autism directly". Show me a study, that includes ALL ingredients in ALL the vaccinations, proving no LINK to autism then you can say no link to vaccinations and autism.

The practice now is babies are given Hep B shot at birth!! You can refuse this and wait. They don't tell mothers this. Yet they tell you breastfeeding is the best for a baby to help create a stong immune system So what are they to use to fight the toxins? It is better to wait and much less harmful.

The study that Andrew Wakefield did, may have started the increased awareness of the subject but just because he was discredited does not mean there isn't any validation to the subject. I understand having doubts when doctors (who gain profit) say there isn't a link to autism. Are the shots a direct cause NO are they a catalyst YES! And can you better your chances of avoidance by waiting to give the shots and only giving one at a time YES! It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

I am very glad to see Parents include this article about vaccines, thymerosol and autism. This 'controversy' has shown the danger of suggesting that science is democratic (I vote against gravity!). By the way (kmgriess), was God's splendid creation 100% effective in fighting disease before vaccines came into wide use? Or perhaps his greatest blessing was to provide us with the capacity to learn from the natural world.

Do people even read the ingredients in these vaccines? Theres pig DNA! Now tell me that adding PIG DNA to HUMAN DNA is not going to change the structure of that DNA? Your mutating your DNA. Its all about the almighty dollar, not the saftey of our children. I don't know who THEY are, but THEY don't always know what THEYRE talking about. And most of THEM, if not all, work for or get paid by these pharmaceutical companies. It's all a big circle leading back to the pharmaceutical companies.

Thimerosal was never used in the MMR vaccine, and since the late 1990s has been removed from everything except a handful of influenza vaccines. Even so, there are several dozen articles disproving the hypothesis that thimerosal is linked to autism. Here is one: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/126/4/656

To all of you who are concerned about doctors giving too many vaccines all at once or too young, please read this article: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/125/6/1134 For those of you who STILL think there is a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, please read this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19952979

By not vaccinating your children you are putting other people at risk, and propagating the spread of dangerous and highly infectious diseases. Turn off Fox News and take your children to the doctor. I'm certainly glad these irrational fears weren't around when Small Pox was being vaccinated (and as a result completely eradicated from the planet). How would you like for this to be your child? http://i.imgur.com/Y16eZ.jpg

We selectively vaccinate. Our dr is a-ok w/our plan: no vaccines with Mercury, Thimerosal, etc & no new vaccines. When Autism was first linked there was a CDC article showing a link & CDC had settled a lawsuit related. Right after that they changed their position & whala no link no responsibility. Oh & my public school honors our vaccination program with no problem what so ever. Read, research, & make decisions for your child. I am the mother of 4 kids ages 4 to 18.

not all shots are for all kids..........

Dear msuljic8: I understand your concern about your daughter getting vaccinated everytime you go to the doctor. We had the same concern so that's why we waited until our daughter was at least 1 before we started giving her the really big ones because we wanted her to at least communicate with us if she was in pain or not. As a parent, you have the right to tell your doctor when YOU want your kid to get a shot. Hopefully they're understanding as our doctor was. All shots are mercury/lead free!

The first thing they teach you in History classes from university is this : "check your sources; who says what, why and what for". Of course, when money is involved, in a way or another, check it twice. P.S. Not too long ago, doctors used to vaccinate all their village's children, except their own...

Children unfortunatly eat a very poor diet resulting in a high imbalance of bad bacteria in the gut. This causes 'leaky gut syndrom'. Studies have found children with this 'leaky gut syndrom' have a lowered immune system therefore may not beable to handle vaccinations which can then attack the nervous system/brain. Healthy children who eat well and have a very limited sugar(ANY sugar, fruit juice and honey is ok) and starch intake usually are healthy after shots. Research before vaccinating!

You can't say that vaccines aren't connected to Autism when plenty of parents have children who had accomplished all of their milestones and their children were talking and fine and then after a vaccine their child completely changed and regressed. We're not dumb doctors. We know that vaccinations are a big money maker for you!

I don't know who wrote this article but, I don't believe they researched the subject enough. I personally know 2 little boys that got MMR combined vaccine and less than a day later and 105 temperatures were never the same. Once happy healthy thriving toddlers. Now These boys only say a few words and regressed in all motor skills as well. So try telling these moms that those vaccines did not bring on these changes in their toddlers.

After reading all of these comments, i really dont know what to think anymore.My daughter is 1 year and she is being vaccinated almost every time we go to the doctor. I asked the doctor what she thinks about Vaccines being linked to autism. She told me not to worry about it, because she has 2 boys and they have gotten all of their shots and they are fine. I am really torn. Maybe i should stop the vaccinations, should i stop all of them or just some of them, i also don't want her to get a disease

So everyone is aware, the "study" by Andrew Wakefield which started this rediculous rumor was retracted by the Lancet, the prominent medical journal which published it; the only article in the journal's history to be retracted. Further investigation by the UK General Medical Council's Fitness to Practice Panel concluded that the study provided false information and Dr. Wakefield acted with, "callous disregard" for his subjects and the facts. Why are we still debating this?...

Studies are currently being done to find out if it's the human fetal DNA in some vaccines that is the environmental trigger for autism. Go to soundchoice.org and/or cogforlife.org - I'm certainly not letting my babies get any of the vaccines that have been derived from aborted fetuses. I had to inform my pediatrician about this - he didn't know.

Wow, I was finally feeling at peace with vaccines after reading this article...until I read the comments above. Now I'm still torn. I just can't imagine not giving my children vaccinations that could save their lives, but then again I would be heartbroken if they were to have serious side effects from a vaccine that I didn't have to give them...ugh! so frustrating!

Vaccines may not be the ONLY cause of autism--I happen to think it is a combination of factors, vaccination being ONE of them that may lead to autism. Unfortunately, I did my reasearch AFTER my son developed autism. My baby girl will have no vaccinations until she is older, and then they will be spaced and never given in combinations.

Read EVERY vaccination insert. Thimerosal and other toxins ARE listed--including formaldehyde, ethylene glycol (antifreeze), etc. It is documented that autistic children tend to have difficulty purging toxins from their bodies. The researchers have also not studied the possible effects of combining several vaccines and giving so many at one time. Many are only 50-80% effective.

THERE IS NO PROOF! links like this make me very frustrated. do research!

thimerosal is still in most shots because the government only recommended taking it out as an ingrediant. do you happen to know the other ingrediants that are in every vaccination? you should definately not trust anyone with your baby before doing research yourself. i do not believe in vaccinations AT ALL! God made our bodies to fight disease itself and vaccination are not 100% effective! there are too many side effects of them. do your own research and you can find out more!!
