Proof: Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

People are always quick to blame autism on vaccines, and some of the information out there well it makes you think there could very well be something in them.  Myself personally i’m not 100% sure either way.  I do know that I had my children vaccinated.  Was that a wise choice? Maybe, or maybe not, but none of them have autism.  So if vaccines are what causes autism I am very thankful that we were one of the lucky ones, but in my opinion these children with autism are very special and they are with us for a very specific reason. 
 
This subject of vaccines causing autism has been researched for years have they made in progress in this?  And if they have will people actually believe it? 
 
Well a new study shows that childhood vaccines DO NOT cause autism, despite worries among parents that their children receive “too many vaccines.”
The Journal of Pediatrics Friday published a report from researches at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that concluded that even when multiple inoculations are given on the same day, children are at no risk of developing autism. 
 
“This study looked into the concern that receiving too many vaccines at one doctor’s visit or too many vaccines during the first two years of life may be linked to the development of autism,” the report’s lead author, Dr. Frank DeStefano told NBC chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman. “We found they’re not related.”
 
The CDC researchers conducted the study by reviewing the vaccination histories collected between 1994 and 1999 of 256 children with autism and 752 children who did not have the disorder. They calculated the number of antigens – the substances in a vaccine that stimulate disease-fighting antibodies – that infants are exposed to either on one doctor’s visit or overall during the first two years.
 
“We did not find any relationship between the number of antigens and the risk of autism,” said DeStafano, Director of the Immunization Safety Office at the CDC.
 
The CDC study comes amidst reports that increasing numbers of parents are delaying or skipping childhood inoculations, fearing side effects or the risk of autism and other learning 
disabilities.
 
A 2012 study, which examined medical records for 97,711 Portland, Oregon children, found an almost four-fold increase between 2006 and 2009 in the percentage of parents who delayed or skipped vaccinations, researchers reported in the journal Pediatrics. Experts say that by delaying certain vaccinations, parents may be putting their children — and those of others — at a far greater risk of contracting deadly diseases, such as pneumonia and whooping cough, also known as pertussis. In 2012, the US experienced the worst epidemic of whooping cough in 50 years
That’s a real concern for Dr. Tanya Altmann, an assistant clinical professor at Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA.
 
“Some parents ask about waiting on vaccines and using an alternative or delayed schedule,” because of worries about autism, Altmann told Snyderman.
 
Altmann tries to remind parents that while they may worry about the unknown, there are real risks to skipping vaccinations or delaying them: outbreaks of severe, sometimes deadly, illnesses.
“The bottom line for parents is that these outbreaks are real and they will come back,” Altmann said.  “These are serious illnesses, meningitis, whooping cough. This study is just one more piece of evidence to reassure parents that vaccines are safe.”
 
Although inoculation contents and schedules have changed since the study data was collected, Snyderman sees the findings as applicable to today’s children since CDC researchers tallied the total amount of antigens  – bits of protein in a vaccine that spark an immune response — that each child was exposed to.
 
“While the CDC now recommends more vaccinations than it did in the 90s, the level of antigens in today’s vaccines is markedly lower than it was when this data was collected,” Snyderman said.
DeStefano hopes the new research will convince parents that it’s safe to follow CDC vaccination schedules.
 
“The number of vaccines in the current immunization schedule is what’s needed to protect children,” he said. “It’s not too many for a child’s immune system.”
 

Will this study help parents make a different choice when it comes to their children’s immunization’s?  Well maybe they will at least look at this and start thinking, and maybe some people will stop praying on the fears of parents.  The last thing a parent wants is to think they have in any way caused harm to their child.  Please remember every child born into this world is special and here for a reason, no matter colour, religion, OR DISABILITY.

      Vaccines Do Cause Autism and Dyslexia AND ECT,ECT,… Ethylmercury is used for Shelf Life for the Vaccines
      by thiomersal vaccines: (ATSDR), or WHO guidelines on mercury exposure, it could have exceeded Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for the first six months of life, depending on the vaccine formulation and the weight of the infant. The review also highlighted difficulty interpreting toxicity of the ethylmercury in thiomersal because guidelines for mercury toxicity were based primarily on studies of methylmercury, a different mercury compound with different toxicologic properties. Multiple meetings were scheduled among various government officials and scientists from multiple agencies to discuss the appropriate response to this evidence. There was a wide range of opinions on the urgency and significance of the safety of thiomersal, with some toxicologists suggesting, “SUGGESTING” there was no clear evidence that thiomersal was harmful and other participants like Dr. Neal Halsey, director of the Institute of Vaccine Safety, strongly advocating removal of thiomersal from vaccines due to possible safety risks. In the process of forming the response to this information, the participants attempted to strike a balance between acknowledging possible harm from thiomersal and the actual risks involved if childhood vaccinations were delayed or stopped.

      Ok, so vaccines might not be ‘guaranteed’ of giving your child autism or aspergers like affects, but they’re obviously a major contributor to the whole explosion of aspies. Better to stay healthy (eat organic as much as possible, avoid high prolonged doses of processed food) & avoid the systems bizarre vaccine pushing regime.
