Next, learn to trust your instincts and your experience. Then you’ll see there’s a connection between autism and vaccines.

And if I learn to "trust my instincts and experience" and don't see a connection between autism and vaccines?

Hmmm??

You want to claim such a connection?

PROVE IT.

Evidence, my FRiends. Leave the handwaving to the climate-changers and flat-earthers. They're better at it than you are ... and they're still FOS.

My brain is always churning

And that is why I'm glad I was a child a long time ago, before the horrid fetish for "diagnosing" everything really took hold.

The “spectrum” got expanded greatly over time...what was once once “eccentric” or just “on the dumb side” is now autistic, ADHD, “on the spectrum”, etc. Get ‘em on the drugs ASAP!! Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, etc..

Even very experienced Microsoft programmers/coders can be “on the spectrum” nowadays:

“And if I learn to “trust my instincts and experience”’ and don’t see a connection between autism and vaccines?”

Then you didn’t really learn it.

“Evidence, my FRiends.Leave the handwaving to the climate-changers and flat-earthers”

You don’t know what evidence is, and you don’t have a logical connection between your “handwaving” and my “intuition and experience.”

Plus fluoridation. Fluoride is known to have negative effects on the IQ. Reportedly just a few points. Then again, the pushers of fluoride are also the salesmen.

I’m glad to be an old fart, these days, and not a kid in school. I’d probably be “diagnosed” with some or other “disorder” so as to keep the government money flowing.

AMEN!

I can't imagine what I would have been diagnosed with and gone through if I didn't grow up in the 1960s.

Is it wrong to be just a little weird? So what? Different strokes for different folks we used to say.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahaha!!!

Your answer, there, displays blind faith and an utter void of reason.

In our youth, it meant you were a little weird. Today, it means you're fodder for the federally funded "accommodations" industry.

They’ve already demonstrated that it’s fever onset due to the vaccine schedule which triggers the symptoms to which they assign the labels.

Unfortunately, it appears that both the symptoms are not reversible, and they STILL haven’t a clue as to why fever associated with the vaccines triggers the condition. Though actual doctors - not this pair - have claimed for decades that many of the vaccines are given at TOO EARLY an age when the brain - AND the immune system - is in a critical stage of development.

Regardless, they’ve known for years that it’s associated with pharmacological-induced fever in infants - sometimes in toddlers - and, of course, that research has not been funded ever since.

Then you don’t know what reason is, either.

Now let’s help you understand the nature of evidence: all valid formalized evidence is a product of intuition and experience. That is to say, they come before the evidence is obtained and they are necessary in order to obtain it.

Oh, get over yourself.

You've utterly failed even attempting to prove your claims, and now you're just babbling.

Have a nice day.

Every scientific study ever conducted begins with intuitive guessing based on experience. This goes back to Aristotle and earlier.

Think this over a bit.

Stuff and nonsense ... and it's quite clear that whatever you are, a scientist you are not.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Your arrogance and ignorance make a poisonous combination.

If you understand this as much as your emotion implies, then let’s have you answer a question or two.

1. Do you know anything, generally speaking, about the thought process in the minds of researchers as they prepare to conduct a scientific study?

2. What kind of thought process is it? Is it more speculative, or more conclusive?
