Is there any truth in vaccinations causing autism?!


Question: Is there any truth in vaccinations causing autism.?
Answers:
Report after report after report says that the risks from not taking the various childhood vaccines far far outweigh any possible increase in the likelihood of autism.

Yes, autism is a terrible disease, but there are far more prevalent, preventable diseases out there that you've got to worry about.

Let me give a non-disease example: Stab wounds. Your brother stabs you, you go the doctor, he offers to sew it up for you and you refuse because there is the possibility that the sutures might get infected.

Apparently you'd rather bleed out.

OK, that's your choice, but don't do it with your kid. Humps, chicken pox, whooping cough can be deadly in their own right and they are far more common than autism.

Not only that, but if your kid isn't immune to them, there is a higher chance that he'll spread them to some other kid. Its taken a century to get these diseases under control and they can be back doing catastrophic damage in 5 years.Health Question & Answer

A new study out shows no connection whatsoever. Is it entirely possible to tell.? No. There would have to be lifelong tests done, followed over a period of time, etc etc. But, for now, it seems that it was just a mistake that the two were linked.

Besides, I agree totally with what people are saying. Not giving a child a vaccination is almost guaranteed to cause problems- you can't even go to college without a meningitis vaccination, or leave the country without others. Children are susceptible to flu, chicken pox, all sorts of stuff. Even if it were true, which most studies now say it's NOT, the chances of getting autism are so obscure and the chances of getting a preventable disease are quite enormous in comparison.

I'm currently completing my psychology degree, and I'm looking right now at my textbook (human heredity, michael cummings, eighth edition) and there is a section on Autism Spectrum susceptibility genes. There are so many factors involved, to blame vaccinations is actually pretty irresponsible.Health Question & Answer

I've read that the risk of not taking vaccinations poses a greater risk than taking them. The mercury ingredient that was supposed to be a suspect has supposedly been eliminated in some states, I believe. However, if I had it to do all over, I would not allow my child to have several vaccinations on the same day.Health Question & Answer

There is no definitive proof of childhood vaccines causing Autism. I just recently wrote a current event article on it, and here's the article I used:
