Vaccination Vs. Autism

Vaccinations Vs. Autism

Why do people trust doctors and the medicine they provide? Are we aware of what those medications and vaccinations contain? Believe it or not, vaccination have a huge role in why some children have autism.

Generally parents are told to have their children vaccinated so that they won't be a victim of any kind of disease. Schools even emphasis that unvaccinated children cannot attend public schools. Because schools have this crazy policy, it puts children at risk of getting autism or any other disease that vaccines carry.





     Before 1980, autism was diagnosed in just 1 out of every 10,000 children. By 2001, the National Institute of Health reported that autism disorders affect one in every 250 children and that number is estimated to increase 10% each year. Can you believe that? That means children are at risk of getting autism at birth. Since children get vaccinated, more and more families have children with autism. For example, Denise Daniels have a son who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 5, and her daughter was diagnosed at the age of 4. During her visits to the doctor she would always be questioned, "Did you have any unusual things that happened during of your child" or "Did you have your child vaccinated"? But due to the lack of knowledge Denise had regarding autism, she answered all the questions without thinking of the kinds of vaccinations her children received when they were first born.

    With the rumors of autism and vaccinations growing, more and more families have children with autism including celebrities like Jenny McCarthy and parents are postponing doctor appointments and vaccination schedules to the point where some parents don't make vaccination appointments at all.

The first connection with autism and vaccinations comes through a preservative called Thimerosal. Thimerosal is a preservative that is found in many vaccinations. It contains  47% of ethyl mercury and mercury has proven to cause neurological damage. Mercury is the second most harmful natural substance to humans.

Believe it or not, Autism and autistic spectrum disorders are neurological disorders. Scientific researchers claim that vaccinations no longer have thimerosal. But is that a fact? Although new vaccinations are being created without thimerosal, vaccinations containing the preservative are still being administered throughout the country.

  1. Public schools do not require children to get vaccinations. There are ways around this if vaccinations go against your religious or medical beliefs.

    And also, even though thimerosal has been removed from most vaccinations, the rate of children getting Autism has been steadily increasing. So there isn't much a linkage between thimerosal and delvelopmental delays.

  2. Not neccessarily because one of the causes of autism is because thimerosal is in vaccines. Thimerosal isn't the only link to autism but because it has mercury in it, it is harmful to the human body.
