Originally posted by Truthseeker View PostYou should not have written "utterly debunked." Autism is of many kinds and there is a myriad of possible causes. It's a statistical nightmare. Could it be the decreasing % of the atmosphere that is oxygen? Before the Industrial Revolution, it was 30-35%. Now, 21%; smaller in large population centers. What connection? Even if there is one, unfortunately it may be a very long time before we know what it is.
Conclusions. Studies do not demonstrate a link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and ASD, and the pharmacokinetics of ethylmercury make such an association less likely. Epidemiologic studies that support a link demonstrated significant design flaws that invalidate their conclusions. Evidence does not support a change in the standard of practice with regard to administration of thimerosal-containing vaccines in areas of the world where they are used.
Conclusions: The significance of this finding is that MMR vaccination is most unlikely to be a main cause of ASD, that it cannot explain the rise over time in the incidence of ASD, and that withdrawal of MMR in countries where it is still being used cannot be expected to lead to a reduction in the incidence of ASD.

Related note: my brother-in-law's wife has been talking about 'normal' delivery instead of a c-section (first child was c-section). She was kinda miffed that the doctor flat out refused. Apparently, he (rightly, imo) thinks the risk is not worth it. She wasn't so sure until I pointed out that the risk included possible death. It's an unlikely risk, ofc, but is it worth it under any avoidable circumstances? She didn't seem to think so.I'm not here anymore.

We (Baptists and Lutherans in a mutual aid agreement) began drilling deep water wells all over the island, providing clean drinking water. That made a HUGE difference, and when the kids were made well, they tended to stay well. That had been getting sick all over again from drinking their own brackish water.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

1) Number of victims that are considered to be adequately vaccinated;
2) ditto except inadequately.
3) ditto except not ever vaccinated.
Also, incidence among these groups. E.g., the ratio of adequately vaccinated victims to total adequately vaccinated people.
If the incidence of 1) > incidence of 3) that would mean someone in 3) is more likely to catch measles from 1) than vice versa.The greater number of laws . . . , the more thieves . . . there will be. ---- Lao-Tzu
