Vaccines and Autism

Well- we hadn't finished that discussion. As I mentioned above, I'd like to get back to it and will when I have time.

Just found this:

"Have you ever wondered why so many kids these days are allergic to peanuts? Where did this allergy come from all of a sudden?

Before 1900, reactions to peanuts were unheard of. Today almost 1.5 million children in this country are allergic to peanuts.

What happened? Why is everybody buying EpiPens now?

... Peanut oils were introduced as vaccine excipients in the mid 1960s.

... By 1980 peanut oil had become the preferred excipient in vaccines, even though the dangers were well documented.

... Although peanut allergies became fairly common during the 1980s, it wasn’t until the early 1990s when there was a sudden surge of children reacting to peanuts – the true epidemic appeared. What changed? The Mandated Schedule of vaccines for children doubled from the 80s to the 90s:

1980 – 20 vaccines
1995 – 40 vaccines
2011 – 68 vaccines

It would be imprudent enough to feed peanuts to a newborn, since the digestive system is largely unformed. But this is much worse – injecting intact proteins directly into the infant’s body. In 36 vaccines before the age of 18 months."

Interesting.

I'm older than dirt and have been allergic to walnuts, hazelnuts & brazil nuts since I was a child. I have also noticed that as I get older my allergies have been either increasing or I've become more alert to the early warning signs.

You had diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus???

I'd believe measles, mumps, rubella and/or chickenpox, lol

This is a particularly disturbing apparent interview with an ex-insider which confirms all my worst fears. Apart from ascertaining the truthfulness of the account, wonder if the (pseudo)sceps would like to try to tear this one apart:

Most of your remarks there are actually wrong, Arou, I'll get back to them when I have time.

In the meantime, just discovered a couple of articles suggesting a link between vaccines and autism in the US:

Two articles indicate correlations between autism and vaccinations
March 26, 2013
Recent finds in two articles in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A indicate correlations between autism and vaccinations. With the rapid rise of autism in the United States that began in the 1990s, these articles titled "A Positive Association found between Autism Prevalence and Childhood Vaccination uptake across the U.S. Population" and "Hepatitis B Vaccination of Male Neonates and Autism Diagnosis" in Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A may answer some questions as to why there is an increase in cases of this disorder.

In "A Positive Association found between Autism Prevalence and Childhood Vaccination uptake across the U.S. Population," published in the May 2011 issue, pages 903-916 in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, researchers suspect that one or more environmental triggers could be a cause in the development of autism. One of those triggers might be the battery of vaccinations that young children receive. The relationship between the proportion of children who received the recommended vaccines by age 2 years and the prevalence of autism (AUT) or speech or language impairment (SLI) in each U.S. state from 2001 and 2007 was determined. A positive and statistically significant relationship was found: The higher the proportion of children receiving recommended vaccinations, the higher the prevalence of AUT or SLI. These results suggest that there may be a link of vaccines to autism. In "Hepatitis B Vaccination of Male Neonates and Autism Diagnosis," published in the November 2010 issue, pages 1665-1677 in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, researchers have found an association between hepatitis B vaccination of male neonates and parental reports of autism. This research included a study among boys age 3-17 years, born before 1999, who were vaccinated for hepatitis B as neonates. Boys vaccinated as neonates had threefold greater odds for autism diagnosis compared to boys never vaccinated or vaccinated after the first month of life.

I'd be curious to see a statistician's comment on this. Did you look at this chart? http://www.tandfonline.com/action/showP ... 011.573736

Autism rates seem to be pretty consistent even with the rise in vaccines?
