I know two families with autistic kids.
In one family, there is a history of this through more than one generation (hence, it is inherited).
In another, a child was behind on his vaccinations and so was given a bunch at one time. The mother was allergic to themersol (sp?) and told the doctor that (but was given the vaccinations anyway). The child developed severe autistic-like conditions afterwards.
So, I’m sure that “autism-like” conditions can come through allergic reactions to some ingredients in some vaccinations.
Which is not to say all vaccinations are bad, or that all autism-like conditions derive from vaccinations.
But some people may be affected (and there is also the question of how many vaccinations — 30 something?— we need to cram into a child’s first years, and can do safely)
You realize that you are dealing with some people’s be loves”settled science.”
Before.long ssomeone will be calling you an “anti-Vaxxer.”
Mess with a zealots religion and you become a heretic.
Science cannot be observing the phenomenon and continually contesting and reevaluating what we know. Science in the twenty first century is conforming to edicts made on high.
Just thought you should know.
