The CDC, the World Health Organization, and the American Academy of Pediatric Doctors, none of which are a pharmaceutical company, are in universal agreement that there isn't a shread, not a sliver, of credible evidence that vaccinations have anything to do with autism. And I can assure you that the CDC and the World Health Organization don't give two s#*@s about boosting profits at Eli Lily or Bristol-Myers Squibb. It appears to be mostly genetic. For example if one identical twin is diagnosed as autistic the other has a 76% chance that they will be autistic as well. That number falls dramatically with fraternal twins. That one example alone is strong evidence for a genetic link. It is also very wrong to think that the only studies that have been conducted on this matter where conducted by pharmaceutical companies. That's just not true. This has been looked at by many research groups with no links to big pharmaceutical companies. The Dutch just concluded another huge multi-year study that also found no link to vaccines.

Unfortunately the first signs of autism often do not manifest themselves until children have reached an age where they have already recieved vaccinations. We humans tend to engage in direct linear thinking. In other words if I develope some problem today then it must have been caused by whatever happened just prior to it. Can that be true? Sure, but often it isn't. For example I cannot tell you how many people come into our ER with nausea and vomiting convinced that the restaurant they just left that evening gave them food poisoning. Problem is that food poisoning is a bacterial infection that takes time to develope. The most rapid onset of symptoms possible is about 8 hours. And many types of food poisoning take a day or more to kick in after eating the contaminated food. So yeah, they might have food poisoning but they didn't get it from the place they were at an hour ago. But you will never convince them of that. Nope, that's when and where they first felt sick so that's who did it to them. And me, the doctor and our whole outfit can go f### ourselves if we don't agree with them.
