Autism is still diagnosed around the ages where most of the vaccinations simultaneously take place. It does have some roots before autism is diagnosed also, particularly during pregnancy... but that conclusion could be viewed as unknown because pregnant females receive vaccinations also and just because it may have any root, wouldn't exclude the possibility that a substance in a vaccine, combinations of substances in multiple vaccines also could cause autism or correlate with the root. Too much is unknown at this time about autism, genetics, and multiple combinations of substances in vaccinations or that there are multiple causes of autism, not just vaccinations per say.

Yes, because that's typically when you would notice signs of autism. Like a slow response to learning language, odd interactions socially, inability to recognize facial cues, inability to recognize emotional cues and an odd way of processing outside information. Unless you're a behavioral psychologist, most parents won't be concerned about such things in their infants during the first stages of life. Unless it's a severe low functioning type of autism, such signs aren't exactly noticeable to an average layman. Especially when all an infant can do is cry and chew their toes.
I mean they are getting better at it. But there's just so many different types of autism and there are many many variables. For example if one's older sibling does all the talking for the younger sibling, that actually may account for their lack of speech. Not because they're autistic necessarily, just that they haven't the need to.
And you do realize autism is not some homogeneous disease, right? It's an entire spectrum covering many different types of maladies. You never hear a Biologist say "this can cause cancer." Because you can't just say something like that. There are over 200 different types of cancer! So obviously they would have to specify. This can increase the likelihood of lymphoma. This could increase the likelihood of developing prostate cancer etc.
Autism is similar. You can't just say X causes autism, because you really do need to be way more specific than that.
I mean what type of autism is it causing? You have low functioning, high functioning, non verbal, verbal, Aspergers, hell even being socially awkward could theoretically land you on the Autism scale, albeit in the very mild section. If you took all the crazy inventors, the out of the box artists, the ******* brilliant authors and the awkward shy recluses and plopped them in front of a bunch of psychiatrists, they'd probably all come away with some diagnosis of some form of autism, if not ADHD or something along those lines.
And really, why is it so bad anyway? I mean Aspergers correlates to child prodigies, you have both low and high functioning autistic people with eidetic memories and just because you have some form of "disability" doesn't mean you can't make something of yourself. Hans Christian Andersen had dyslexia for goodness sake. He wrote over 200 Fairy Tales, plays, at least one novel/ travelogue and even a ballet or two. (I mean the guy needed a brilliant editor of course. But still he's quite well respected in literature. He even has an award named after him.) Also after reading some of his Biographies, I'm kind of convinced the guy had Asperger Syndrome.
Gee do you think it was caused by the Smallpox Vaccine, which incidentally was the only vaccine even available during his entire lifetime. The next one was for Cholera in 1879, four years after he died. Fun fact smallpox was also known as the Red Plague and has been eradicated globally since 1979..
Many pharma's could be producing relatively safe substances while one is producing an unsafe.
This in my opinion is a deep matter that needs more time. No one can be honest and conclude that they do or they don't. We can believe or believe not. I respect those that believe not but are humble enough to admit that they can't say for certain. I do have little respect for those calling others quacks or claiming that they 100% know... because that's a lie. Too much is unknown. In everyday life and reality, there are children who are healthy and have healthy habits which become a completely different child with autistic habits at the same time or within a week of receiving vaccinations in which they become diagnosed with autism. One would have to be very naive to say that they know for certain that there would be no foul play or cover ups in a matter where an entire country's reputation is on the line, that everything is cupcakes and rainbows in which money or reputation has zero effect on what human's do and what lengths humans are willing to go on a microscopic or macroscopic level, especially with the power to do so as the general public is unaware or wouldn't think twice to educate themselves before making any choices
Your conspiracy would be literally global. If such a global conspiracy were able to take place, I'd expect world peace to be achievable in my lifetime. I mean for goodness sakes, diplomacy exists solely to try not to get countries to slash their enemies' throats and you think they're all in on it?
You know I don't know who does your testing in America, in Australia tests are carried out by Scientific Universities and other scientific independent institutions. If a pharmacy did that, we'd demand a ****ing Royal Commission inquiry!
Correct me if I am wrong but weren't they once adamant about there being no link/evidence of tobacco and their substances causing cancer/diseases?
K, first of all scientists had to figure out how the insides of our bodies worked. This happened when certain inquiring minds were paid to slice up dead bodies and see how they functioned. Also war doctors.They helped immensely. It wasn't until like the 20th century that we could even do that with live bodies. Technology helped to achieve this end. Tobacco and cocaine were used frequently in the early 20th century, because they simply did not have the technology available to take a clean close hard look at living lungs to even come to the conclusion that it could cause medical problems. Like excuse the medical community for not having tiny cameras on wires able to examine the inside of the body in the 1900s! Add in the fact that the average life expectancy during such days was lower anyway and that many diseases were more commonplace. You tell me how you expect them to make a connection.They didn't even know how the brain worked back then.
Scientists also weren't the ones adamant that there was no connection, at least not after actually testing it. Tobacco companies were. They tested on dogs and rabbits and claimed that there was no connection. Which technically they weren't lying about, but that's only because they weren't testing it on humans. Like medicine still uses fruit flies and mice as corner stones. Which is immensely helpful to medical research. But there are some instances where you can't simply translate the results from the animals to humans perfectly. You know, different ways their body reacts to certain chemicals and all. Which is what the tobacco industry were essentially (and allegedly even to this day still) doing.
And to be fair, a lot of the carcinogenic stuff comes from ingredients added by cigarette companies in the first place, done in order for their customers to be able to tolerate nicotine better. Which is a stimulant in low doses but lethal in high doses. Not to say original tobacco is healthy, but when they were "improving" the taste.........well it didn't really help matters. Besides, we still use ingredients found in heroine as pain relief. Chemists can actually make healthy forms of many illegal drugs by isolating the specific chemical they want. They do it daily in fact. Hell penicillin was technically discovered through mold.
Good lord, do you also refuse to listen to Astrologists because at one time they believed that the sun revolved around the earth?
New information comes to light. As new information comes to light the scientific community must reevaluate their knowledge. This is the self correcting mechanism of science. That doesn't mean we refuse to listen to current scientific evidence.
Now I'm not saying just blindly trust all the medical community. They're human, they make mistakes. But I am saying until actual credible scientific evidence comes to the aid of the Anti Vax side, they simply don't have a solid leg to stand on.
