content: Absolutely correct, the big problem vaccine is the MMR vaccine, it is three inoculations in one shot: measles, mumps, and rubella. when it was my time to get the MMR my mother was able to get the vaccination spread out into different shots over a few weeks I don't know if doctors will do this anymore though. They didn't always give these as a single shot but the autism rate spiked after they started doing it and that is where the Autism correlation came from. whether it causes autism I don't know I do know that epigenetics could explain how somebody not born with a genetic disorder could develop one celiac disease and other genetic disorders can be activatedby environmental factors because somebody caries an unactivated form of the gene related to the disorder, another good example is how some young people who consume psychoactive drugs will develop schizophrenia and it is actually advised that young people with a familial history of schizophrenia are not given certain mind altering drugs, prescription or otherwise because it can activate the schizophrenia which otherwise would not activate. Yes there is substantial reason to believe that an infant or possibly toddler who would not otherwise be diagnosed with autism could have that inactive genetic sequence activated by exposure to a neurotic like mercury which is in a great deal of the vaccines we give to infants and small children. Many parents had been telling stories about how their child's personality would change dramatically within hours after getting shots and especially so after the MMR and it makes sense when you consider the things which are actually in these injections, I have looked for explanations as to why mercury needs to be in the shots for years and have yet to find a convincing answer. There have been court cases going in both directions on the issue of vaccine safety for years and it's crazy that reddit and other places want to shut down the discourse that needs to be had about improving vaccine safety, that said there are absolutely nutjob antivaxers who have clearly had a break with reality but those people mindlessly defending massive pharmaceutical companies and pursuing mandatory vaccination laws are only reinforcing the opinions of the crazy antivaxers and endangering us all. This issue is a microcosm of why modern political discourse blows ass, one side thinks they are justified in being heavy handed and the other side simply has their views reinforced by the excessive effort the other side expends to shut down discourse as quickly as possible. Not allowing a natural resolution to come from unabated public discourse so long as that discourse is based on empirical evidence and Socratic reasoning is really just bottling a genie, people are going to have to deal with it later, it isn't progress, it's a forestalling of true progress for the sake of control; it's the same reason why the civil rights act didn't resolve racial tensions in america, they artificially "solved" the problem, they just put a lid on it and now it's turned into a fermented hate liquor that we are all getting drunk on. We should have just deported the niggers after the civil war; fuck lincoln, but fuck john wilkes booth even more. Anyway the WHO is trying to explain how these old world diseases are making a resurgence and they don't want to admit that it's actually the fault of vaccinated third worlders being shipped into modern white countries who are bringing the diseases with them so they need a scapegoat and who better than "stupid white people". TL;DR: Vaccines are generally a societal good even if you account for the autism they supposedly cause but to my knowledge the offending neuro-active ingredients are not necessary and neither is the dense schedule on which children are given these vaccinations nor are there any medical advantages from combining these inoculations into a single shot, we just do it because kids are scared of shots. There could be other environmental causes of autism too and autism could be epigeneticly activated.
