Though there may be a genetic factor involved, the cause is mainly an environmental one. We are living in a world full of toxins and our children are now exposed to many dangers. Let us not flippantly disregard the numerous toxins that are injected directly into thier bodies every couple of months throughout the most crucial stages of development. Things like formaldehyde, latex, aluminum, phenol, antifreeze, thimerosal (still present in some vaccines), aborted human fetal cells, animal cells (monkey, horse, pig).

This is a questionable practice. Animal DNA should NOT be injected into humans. This has the potential to, and has been confirmed to cause change even down to the cellular level. A change of this magnitude can have genetic ramifications and has the ability to affect offspring permanently. Science will never be able to identify the true extent of negative consequences, especially with the wealthy and powerful medical model drawing our attention elsewhere.

The rates of Autism have increased in the past two decades coinciding closely with the increases in the ever-expanding vaccination schedule. How could we expect this practice to have no consequences for our children? What about for adults? FACT: The early Polio vaccine, given to thousands, accidentally introduced SV-40 into the human race, which is a cancer-causing virus of monkey origin. How many other diseases could have gone undetected during the manufacturing process and then introduced into the human race through this practice? It has been suggested that AIDS may be one of these. The website vacinfo.org has video links and recorded material available. Especially frightening is the link involving the head of a large pharmaceutical company discussing with collegues how these things occured.

This may be the first time you are hearing these things. Well, Pharma is not exactly advertising this info. For every door you open on this issue, there are at least two more waiting to be explored. It literally has no end. Though I am not against vaccinating, I refuse to inject my children with the smut that is available up to this point. Good luck in your search.

The only thing that I do wish is that they could manufacture vaccines without formaldehyde, antibiotics, human diploid cells, monkey cells, ect. I feel like the government should be working towards safer alternatives for creating vaccinations. There are enormous problems in the manufacturing process. Remember the recent HIB recall?

I’m morally opposed to using aborted fetal tissue in vaccines, so my biggest concern is not really Autism, but the over all process of vaccine manufacturing, and marketing.

As some others have stated, there are children out there with autism and haven’t been immunized at all.

Our son has autism. Our daughter does not. He had delayed vax’s because his pediatrician was ill- we opted to wait until the ped. returned. So our son received his 8 week shots at 12 months of age. He was showing signs of autism by the time he was 6 months old: not responding to his name. Not returning smiles, not cooing, not babbling- all the things he should have been doing.

Our baby has received all of her shots on time. She is fine.

We belong to a parenting group here for parents of autistic children. Not one of them believes that the vax’s caused their child’s autism. That’s pretty telling considering that the children are both male and females, all diagnosed at differing ages, all types of autism. Yet, not one of us believes there is a link. Likewise, all children after and before had vax’s on time: and no autism.

What do I think? That there is something in our environment that we have not yet identified. We just discovered that there are traces of pharmaceuticals in our water. We know about Bisphenol A. There are so many things that we do NOT yet know- it makes me wonder. So much so that we have gone organtic here.

As well, they took the thermasol out of the MMR shot- and there are still problems. We STILL HAVE AUTISM CASES RISING. China did the same many years ago- and the cases continue to rise as well.

Here is an article:

What would I do? Protect my child- he and she both get their vaccinations. Why??? I work in a public school in the worst area of the city. I have been exposed to Hep B- and thankfully continue to test negative, Whooping Cough- not a big deal but it would be for our baby, and all sorts of things. When your child starts school- they will be exposed. These diseases are not gone- they are dormant. When they do reappear, the liklihood they will be stronger and resistant to our current treatments are high. That is a very real worry.

I personally would rather deal with autism than with the diseases the vax’s are meant to prevent. JMHO.

i tutored a boy who was autistic and he had vaccines when he was a baby.. i think they can cause not only autism but other harmful things for the future… he didnt start showing signs of autism till he was 3 years old so it takes a while.. i know for a fact when i have kids i am not getting them vaccinated.. it does more harm than good.. i really honestly believe that there is a link between autism and vaccinations ….

I think a judge and jury had no right to decide something that is medically proven to be a crock. Not to mention the media made the report sound way worse than it was. My understanding is that the family won the money because the child had an underlining condition (which was brought on by the shot) that SPARKED the autism symptoms. It was that the shot caused the kid to have Autism.

Either way.. until someone can explain to me how children who are not being vaccinated are still getting Autism I will get my children their shots.

i WILL get my daughter, who is only 6 months at the moment, vaccinated.

measles, mumps and rubella can have terrible complications and tragic outcomes including:
if you develop rubella while pregnant, your baby could be born with birth abnormalities including deafness, blindness, heart defects and intellectual disabilities
measles can cause Pneumonia, encephalitis, otitis media croup, diarrhea.
mumps can cause painful swelling of the testicles affects about one in five adolescent and adult men. This may (in rare cases) lead to infertility. Mumps infection can cause permanent deafness
Measles, mumps and rubella are highly contagious
They can lead to serious complications or death
You are more likely to develop serious side effects from the disease than from the vaccine.

i would rather care for my daughter being autistic than have to bury her and live my life without her. autistic children are smart, loving, funny and so pure – they tell it like it is they are honest and love you no matter what your faults are. not that so called ‘normal children’ arent all these thing. children with autism ARE normal children, they just require to be spoken to in a different way, have a more sturdy and stable routine.

I think that because these diseases haven’t been around for years as normal childhood illness, parents don’t fully understand how horrible they were or the effects that they left on children.

If there was more information on what rubella for example can do to a small child or how quickly a child who contacts meningitis will die, I think that the autism risk will quickly shrink in many parents’ eyes.
