(2/2) Do Vaccines Cause Autism? Correlation vs. Causation

When we make risky decisions about our health, it's always good to be in possession of all the facts, to let our brains, and not our hearts, make the decision. Your child is thousands of times more likely to die from a preventable disease you didn't vaccinate them against than to develop autism from a vaccine you did give them. The case for autism and vaccines is solely based on weak correlations and emotional responses.

The study that linked vaccination to autism was corrupted. A law firm paid a scientist to falsify results. That scientist got caught and arrested. Jenny McCarthy is a dumb bitch who is risking the lives of every child she convinces the parents of this nonsense.

modern people are spoiled children, they simply don't remember how crappy the world was before vaccines, they didn't have to watch a sibling die or suffer from any of those diseases themselves. They take for granted just how dangerous those things are because they never saw them. In their grandparents time that shot was a precious life saving miracle, now it's just another medical bill.

The 2004 "retraction authored by 10 co-authors" did not retract the 1998 paper. In the infamous "retraction" the authors state their support for the paper & that current research supported & extended their findings

They were retracting the incorrect interpretation that the paper proved a link of MMR to autism. They emphasize their paper made no such claim. They don't state who made the interpretation they were retracting, but it doesn't matter...

This ambiguity was intentional

@cleatusjr

Dr Wakefield's paper admits it did not prove an association between MMR & autism

He admitted his sample size was too small & biased

He called for large CLINICAL STUDIES to be done to support or refute his findings

The 1998 paper was not funded by a law firm & Wakefield was never arrested as cleatusjr claims

Jenny McCarthy is a devoted mother & knowledgeable on the issues of autism & vaccines

Dr Bernadine Healy in 2008 said vax may cause autism & ALSO called for proper studies

You are a complete idiot. A brainwashed idiot..please go stick your head back in your hole, and quit lying, as pretty soon your nose will grow to the size of a python and bite you, just as the snake symbol on the modern medicine symbol has bitten you and do to that your brain no longer functions. I don't have the time of day for lying and deceptive bullshit like yours; nor do you deserve any other rebuttal.

There has been an increase in breast augmentation surgery in the last 30 years, Autism diagnosis have increased in the last 30 years; therefore women with breast implants cause Autism in their children....j/k....PS: GREAT VID.

Mental image:  Nephilimfree in the shower, with the shower cap over the headset.

You're welcome.

@C0nc0rdance Yeah, a guy who probably has to wear velcro shoes because the angels never show up to tie his laces. And does he shower with that headset on? :)
