Thinking of getting vaccinated?

[Edbear]

I wonder if the environmental factor turned out to be a virus/pathogen for which a vaccine could be developed, would the anti-vaccine brigade refuse it?

Now you're being silly. Using your mate as a statistical sample of one is enough to prove a tenuous hypothesis? Okay I'll do likewise. I had sandwiches for lunch today. Straight afterwards I whacked my shin when climbing over my trailer draw-bar. Therefore I have proven that sandwiches cause sore shins. It's all a bit silly isn't it?

Autism is almost always diagnosed at the age when children are being immunised. It is an understandable fallacy to link the two, but it is just as flawed as the sandwich/shins hypothesis. There has been no statistically proven and verified evidence that immunised children are more likely to develop autism that un-immunised children. All such studies have been shown to be either flawed - or worse - fraudulently skewed and misrepresented.

Current thinking is that autism is a complex disorder in which multiple factors must co-occur. Many environmental factors (mainly pre-natal) are being investigated, with the post-natal immunisation factor already eliminated.

You should know by now that unqualified, unresearched people who can't spell or write but have anecdotal mates, trump scientific research and persons of experience every time !

Pity you don't extend that standard (sarcastic derision of non-scientific ways) to your religious assertions

On a side note - I don't install AV on my PC - I find my mental AV scanner is much better.

Is it conducted through your tinfoil hat?
I prefer to let the aliens look after that stuff...

Its interesting that both camps seem to be all or nothing on their view of vaccines when the vaccines themselves can vary in there makeup
hugely.
Personally I don't take the flu vaccine, but am happy to have been vaccinated as a child.
If I had my time again, I would look into spreading the vaccines my kids received over a larger period of time
and try for individual vaccines rather than the all in one multi-vaccine approach.

Nah, it is conducted through 10+ years of IT experiance

I agree - one camp produces all scientifically peer reviewed evidence, the other produces nothing

Shouldn't have bent over in front of it.

If we were ever to want to actually know what was going on, we'd perform a brain scan, take blood, measure whateverothershit we can measure before we carry on with our crusade to stab everyone and inject them with a one size fits all solution... that may have side-effects... but who cares... it's only life.

You're right...instead of the complete lack of research situation that we have at the moment.
If only someone would do some studies on vaccines and their effects so that we could decide if they are safe and that they work!
