FYI.
.This blog is not only for people who have same ideology like you do, its also for those of us who disagree.

.I know vaccines cause autism, because of what happened to my child right after the vaccines, and when I say right after I mean right after three hours, so please before you make your comments educate your self on the issue.

.Vaccines may prevent some diseases ,but they also do harm which in my Childs case was proven.

“Vaccines don’t cause autism – but clearly something else ”

.If you can’t tell me what causes autism ,then you can’t tell me vaccines don’t cause autism.

.There is one thing if you are narrow minded and want to believe one side of the issue, but you should know there is other studies that says otherwise.

Ps.Dr.Steven Novella should have people from both sides on this blog,because its really getting boring here.

“one can say vaccines are safe as many time as they want,but the fact remains the same ,we the parents know what we know,and that is vaccines cause autism and many other diseases .
“the profit wagons days are numbered and the bogus study’s can study as much as they want but the thruth is comming forward.”

Couple of questions –

1: HOW do you “know” that “vaccines cause autism and many other diseases”? What evidence are you basing your conclusions on?

2: If you’re really genuinely concerned about autism, then don’t you feel ashamed of yourself for wasting so much valuable time and energy barking up the wrong tree?

Vaccines don’t cause autism – but clearly something else (probably many things) does. By fixating on something that doesn’t cause autism and blindly believing that it does in the face of all evidence to the contrary, you’re not just hurting your own kids and the children of everyone else who irrationally decides not to vaccinate out of a baseless fear of developing autism – you’re also hurting all the kids who actually do have autism or are at risk of developing it, because you’re diverting time and energy and attention away from research into real causes and real cures.

To repeat:

By insisting that vaccines cause autism and other diseases, you’re hurting children and putting their health at risk.

For that you should be deeply, deeply, deeply ashamed of yourself.

This is the mercury reference.

D: Just localized the web sites of the anemone and chef projects–lot’s of studies. And in the end not what you referred to. I assume you wanted me to look at the “Autism in the Faroe Islands. An Epidemiological Study” by Ellefsen et al. showing autism rates of about 70/10000 as I noticed you earlier have discussed in another forum. Still not a naive pop though

Some parents with autism have great anger and shame based on their failure to produce perfect offspring. They have mental health problems which need community intervention.

In that 1404 child cohort there were at least 249 with cord blood mercury levels above 200 nM/L and at least 746 with cord blood mercury levels above 65 nM/L.

Do notice the caveat at the end of the report:
“Our analysis included only healthy children who were selected during enrollment in the original trial, and some families might have declined to participate in the present study because their children had cognitive developmental problems. This might have reduced the prevalence of adverse neuropsychological conditions and might have made potential differences hard to detect. The eligibility criteria of the original trial also limited the participation of low birth weight children, and only 55 children with birth weights of [less than] 2500 g underwent the neuropsychological evaluation (data not shown). Moreover, only 1% of children in this study received hepatitis B virus vaccine at birth.”

That will hardly convince the other side even if the study autism rate is similar to the national italian estimates, which according to the EURISPES, are between 6-10/10000. Well in line with the study results of 1/1403 (approx 7/10000).

It would of course have been more conclusive and convincing if the study had included a control group of children vaccinated with vaccines containing no mercury compunds (and preferrably born of mothers that had never had amalgam fillings — to make causality very very clear).
