I sort of disagree here. One has to wonder why autism rates are increasing over time. There are not many studies available on vaccine frequency and chemical changes within the body, plus there are known side effects from some that are included in the paperwork from the manufacturer. I think Rand alluded to this when he spoke about it.
In all, despite living in the 21st century, cases of autism and other diseases/cancers are increasing in volume, and we should have a discussion as to why instead of letting big pharma offer the solution.
It's not just autism. It's auto-immune disorders, obesity, etc. Fucking peanut allergies have swallowed up school systems.
So why are people quick to blame immunizations for all of that while there are people denying humans have anything to do with the climate? It all comes down to an emotional and illogical reaction. A lot of people don't like shots. And a lot of people have hyper-Big-Brother freak outs about mandating them, even if for the right reasons.
Sure, we do have a history of Tuskegee experiments. But people aren't objecting to immunizations because of the science and the data. They are just seeking anecdotal confirmations and confirmation bias to justify their emotional responses.
As far as I know, not at this time. But I think there needs to be more research on this topic, especially the ramifications of giving children an increased amount of vaccines within a short period of time.
Immunization rates have actually gone down while autism has gone up. So even at an epidemiological level, that makes no sense. You'd be better off blaming GMOs in the food supply for that than immunizations.
