Fevers can be neurotoxic and exacerbate the toxicity of other agents.

Autism isn't from vaccine, your friends autism genes were passed and hes trying to find an excuse.

What's the incidence for autism anyway? 65 in 10,000 people. And like 99% of those people are vaccinated.

>>10520285
Some people get autism. As the definition has broadened, relatively more people are diagnosed as having gotten it.

Some (most) people get vaccinated.

Both things happen usually when you are a kid.

Correlations, suddenly, many such cases!

Add a healthy dose of confirmation bias, and one particularly egregious charlatan who faked a study, and you can figure out the rest -- unless you have autism, I guess.

These are always fun. What is it about academia that makes people want to hang themselves?

>>10520285
>Is there any explanation as to the cases where kids become autistic after vaccinations?
i think an explanation exists. in the past, vaccinations used preservatives that contained mercury. mercury exposure's effect include insanity. i believe that mercury-based preservatives are no longer used.

>>10520452
This one makes sense though.

>>10520285
nah autism is entirely genetic parents blaming vaccines are just brainlets trying avoid admitting they have shit genes and should have never reproduced.

>>10520455
No, that has nothing to do with it. The fact that mercury is dangerous does NOT mean that compounds of mercury are also dangerous, and indeed the preservatives they use in vaccines are not. >>10520376 explains the real explanation.

>Autism isn't from vaccine, your friends autism genes were passed and hes trying to find an excuse.
I feel this is true. Any parent who says vaccines gave their kid's autism is just ashamed of their condition but doesn't want any responsibility for their child's actions.

>>10520364
It's 1/65.

A large portion of the increase in autism can be explained by more kids who in the past would have been considered plain retarded now being diagnosed as autistic. This effect is particularly common in areas where the local government upped subsidies for autism programs. Most of the rest is probably due to the increasing average age of parents. But people want something external to blame, rather than their own decisions to hold off on kids.

>>10520517
It's a shame too, if a parent actually cares and takes the time they can make great strides with their kid and give them a more normal life.

>>10520285
yes. SOME used mercury toxic as a (((preservant))) in vaccines called tyomersal. And that toxic shit causes autism according to some studies.
>inb4: but le dose!!!!!
It is way higher than acceptable mercury in blood, loke 50 times. And the benefit/cost makes no sense. It it a fucking poison and needs to stop.

good goy, keep poisoning your children

Anybody here know any antivaxxers irl?

Kinda, I almost rented a basement apartment from a lady who was strongly antivax (Facebook stalked her to see if she was legit and had a bunch of shit on her page). They had just bought the home and right before I was set to move in they found out their house use to be a meth lab. She flipped her God damn shit and was crying on the phone with me about how her "precious" children are "too sensitive" to be in the house, even though the state cleaned and cleared it. Last I talked to her she was trying to get the sale reversed. I was lucky I got my money back.

She tried to get me to say saying "the previous guy had tenants, maybe he'd let you stay?" I was like fuck no, that's not a good guarantee of anything.

>>10520898
Also, they were Mormon and the husband was a chiropractor. It was too much weirdness in one go, even if it was a sweet apartment.

I'm surprised this therad isn't ruined by antivax samefag.

>>10520830
Yes the sister of the husband of my father's sister.

>>10522217
Your aunt's sister in law?

>>10520285
Symptoms of autism show up around the same age, so people assume a causal relationship.

>>10520452
>What is it about academia that makes people want to hang themselves?
I dunno, you ever been working on a compound for a month and then some chump next door decides to spit into every single beaker in your lab?
Certainly would explain the correlation between academia and murder rates

>>10520285
loss of trust in authorities

>>10520452
technology provides better ropes?
>>10520578
this just looks as if autism increases and retardation decreases from west coast to the east coast

Yeah, the map in the background is distracting, but the x-axis is the year, and the y-axis the proportion of school age children with those diagnoses out of 10k.
