Do Vaccines Cause Autism?

I personally don't think they do, but what do you all think? Got any evidence to back up what you think?

No. Do we need to go over all this again? I don't see the point. It's been discussed here at length. I've written pages about the supposed, unlikely and unproven relationship between mercury-containing preservatives such as thiomersal (which is no longer used in the vast majority of vaccines anyway) and autism spectrum disorders. Look it up.

Thanks. I think it's bunk, because all you'd have to do is look at autism rates between vaccinated vs unvaccinated children to see there is no causation.
But can you link to the stuff you posted, anyway? I'm sort of debating with somebody about it now and I could use the sources.

I think the first one is the one in which I dived the deepest.
TL;DR: ASD just wasn't diagnosed a few decades ago, but due to how mental healthcare changed, the number of diagnoses rose sharply (i.e. we diagnose people with ASD these days and quite likely we even overdiagnose, while in the past, someone with ASD was just considered awkward and it was left at that). At the same time, more emphasis was put on vaccination regimes, and vaccinations rose sharply too. One had nothing to do with the other, but retards say one caused the other.

No and no.
It was a decent hypothesis. They even went as far as removing mercury from the single dose vaccines. Rates were not affected. It is about as clear as result as you'll ever see in science, but some people's egos cannot accept that their pet theory did not pan out.

The only evidence that was ever for it was celebrity endorsement and weak correlation, something that absolutely does not mean causation unless you think organic food also causes autism.

Errr...yeah...but is it really? Compare to the history of ADHD; I think we can safely assume that ADHD has been with humanity for at least centuries. It was first described in 1902 as a distinct phenomenon, but there's no reason to believe it wasn't present in a portion of the population before that. Since 1902, the incidence of ADHD has been estimated to be between 1% and 16% of the population (see here: http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/timeline.html). What do you think, does the incidence of ADHD vary wildly in the population due to some magical effect? Was there no ADHD before 1902? I think it's quite obvious that the answer is 'no' to both: the variations are due to changes in diagnostics and definitions. Any changes in actual incidence (if existent at all) are buried deeply beneath this effect.
For autism, exactly the same effect applies. It was described very neatly here: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-increase-in-autism-diagnoses-two-hypotheses/ TL;DR: changes in definitions have created a substantial apparent rise in the incidence of autism, while any actual rise (if present at all) simply isn't visible due to this.

The thing that pisses me off about these mercury fanatics, is that they are so wrapped up in their egos, they have lost sight of what their original goal was — to prevent autism. They are doing nothing but harm to that cause by continuing to insist that people focus on their pet cause.

I'm not arguing that vaccines do or don't cause autism, but I do believe more thorough research is needed on the long term effects of injecting children with so much stuff. This is a good video if you can sit still for 45 minutes...
Also, this link contains links to a variety publications about studies on this issue...

Yeah...dead virus material basically. That and preservatives. The thiomersal that has now all but disappeared from the vaccines was a preservative. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/additives.htm

Research is always good, but be aware that human vaccines are so phenomenally well researched in terms of short and long term effects that it is questionable how much more thoroughly you'd want to research them.

And, even if there were cases of autism linked to vaccines, their benefit is so overwhelming, that it wouldn't change much.
I find it interesting that, while people still push the vaccine theory without any data to back it up, there is something that has a very strong correlation with increased autism rates - the age of the parents. But of course, that puts the "blame" squarely on the people who chose to have a child in their late 30s and not a big pharmaceutical firm.

Personally I don't think so. I chalk it up to shitty genetics. We only have one severe case in my family. Sweet girl but raising her was a huge challenge for both parents. Even more so when my uncle died of cancer. Yup my spunk has cancer and autism who wants to father my little shits.

Could also just be down to genetics. But it's an interesting hypothesis.

That statement definitely applies to the Haber process. However, without oil and natural gas, which is a feed stock for making ammonia, it would have been difficult to produce as much fertilizer.
