There are many parents that are convinced that their children’s autism comes from the vaccines in which they are given. If the researchers and government claim to disprove the theory that they give, scientists that side with them are able to generate new hypotheses and reasons for the disorder seen in their children. Firstly, they argued that the MMR vaccine was seen as the reason for the developmental disorder. Because autism symptoms generally begin the same time (12-15 months) as the vaccine is given, researchers say that there is no correlation between the two and that it is just a coincidence. Secondly, people say that thimerosal , a mercury preservative, causes autism. This was disproved because as thimerosal was removed from vaccines, autism rates were still increasing, which would nto occur if this was the cause.
The final “cause” of autism given by parents, is that an immune response is triggered when too many vaccines are given at once, leading to a weakening of the immune system. This definitely seems like it could be the most plausible reason, but after looking further, studies and researchers show that children take in more than the little amount given in the vaccines. I do have a problem with this explanation though. While it is true that children take in more of certain diseases and sicknesses than present in the vaccines, we have not studied the specific interactions between different things. The environment and genetics in a child could certainly affect the side effects and possibly if any developmental problems are developed.
Many studies have been done though to refute the claim that autism is linked to vaccines. When families try to bring the cases to court, it is impossible to win because no studies show a definite link between the two. Infinite numbers of claims can be made, along with coincidences and possible correlations, but until there is definite proof, if there is any, no one can say for sure that vaccinations lead to autism.
I am totally blown away with the idea that parents claim autism is caused by a vaccine. I feel that parents she ask doctors what is in any vaccine before they allow their childto revieve one. In all honesty what lay man knows whats really in any vaccine. I just thought it was water with a weakend germ in it. Then i thought about it twice why would a doctor give me a weakend germ and could i become more ill then what i am already am. I really feel that autism can be proven to have a cause since its not a contagous germ someone should be able to figure out the link of what it is the leading cause to disformaties in a childs learning functions. With all the high technology we have now i find it hard to believe there is no curse are evedince of a cure for autism. Why dont we have an answer yet ???
ReplyDeleteTHis is the main reason why I dont believe that vaccine cause autism. Im doing the same blog and I just believe that researchers are putting things in the parents head. Parents should ask doctors on the cause and side of effects of all vaccine before their child are injected. What do you believe?
