Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, in this blog I will be providing evidence against the ignorant premise that vaccines cause autism. As always please feel free to leave a comment or question.

As mentioned previously Dr Asperger himself described autism and Asperger syndrome as predominantly genetic in nature. This was in 1940 after years of study within families with the disorder.

Since then it has been speculated that a mercury additive ‘could’ be suspect in a cause. I propose that Thiomersal is completely innocent in this accusation and should be exhonourated of these ludicrous charges.

Firstly please allow me to point out that this preservative has been removed from use in vaccinations with no effect on the diagnosis rate. What does that mean? Well now that children are no longer exposed to this trace amount they are still being diagnosed with autism.

Secondly the rate of autism cases is similar among children that have not been vaccinated. So this means skipping the needle does not decrease the number of cases. It only exposes innocent children to dangerous disease we should have eradicated from the planet if not for the fear-mongers.

Lastly I’d like to point out the percentage chance of diagnosis is similar to down syndrome. In fact like that genetic disorder once it has been found in a family the chances of further discover is increased. Siblings and children of someone with autism are more likely to have these traits and pass them along.

This is not a genetic certainty as 2 people with autism have a much better chance of a neurotypical child then having the diagnosis handed down the family tree. But they also have a greater chance of the autism showing up then 2 ’so called normal’ parents.

It should also be pointed out that once educated about the removal of this chemical from the vaccine the accusers have moved the goal post to some other chemical. When will we stop listening to these nay sayers and look at the evidence?
