I'm really not interested in your opinions about autism if you have no direct vested interest in it because it's been a burden in your own personal life.

Yes my logic IS based in reality, it's your EMOTIONS that are deliberately ignoring reality. The reality is that there is not one single shred of usable evidence that ANY vaccine haS EVER had the SLIGHTEST relation to autism. It's a genetic problem, and it's highly unfortunate, and I understand why people want to blame something but they shouldn't be blaming vaccines because it's not the vaccines' fault.

Discostu is accusing Orgiveme of being emotional. Orgiveme has an autistic child who is 28 now, and has been actively looking for answers to that since he was 4, has never blamed vaccines in his situation but believes mercury at any dosage could be a bad thing (see the Minimata cases), and you, Discostu, still have not answered a simple question also asked in the posting you responded to:

What is your personal vested interested in autism? You have not answered that question.

And your posting is quite emotional, actually, but your emotions have only to do, apparently, with your own ego; my emotion comes from 24 years of dedication to solving my son's problem and preventing other children from having the same problems in the future. I'd sincerely like to know what you've been doing with your time, energy, money -- and, yes, emotions -- that compares.

Yes you are being emotional you're in a tough spot in life but that happens. That's a very fuzzy statement, a lot of things in any dose "could be" a bad thing, but there's never been a reputable study that links vaccines, with or without the trace elements of mercury found in thimerosol, to autism.

And I'm not going to answer the question because it's nothing more than an attempt to create the logical fallacy of poisoning the well. Nothing about being related to an autistic kid makes one more or less able to read and understand the studies.

My posting is completely unemotional and 100% logic based, I have no ego tied to the situation I don't work in the pharmacuetical industry and nothing about the discussion will alter my life in the slightest. I just like to apply simple logic to discussions. unfortunately if you're trying to block vaccines you're not doing anything to prevent autism and are doing something to prevent healthy children in the future by re-introducing ailments we once thought of as conquered. I devote my time and energy to logic and thinking through the actual consequences of actions, but not my emotions because that would get in the way of logic.
