Whats to know. Vaccines save lives. The evidence they cause autism was gathered through bad science and has not been validated through other research. Thats all you need to know to dismiss anti-vaxxers as kooks. And since the "pro-choice" (more like "kill your kids" amirite?) meme took hold its gonna take more people like Jimmy and the internet (who must all be shills waging a "propaganda campaign") to reverse the damage its doing.
With the lack of information 20 + years ago, it was easy for the medical profession, politicians, and corporations to lie to you and call you a kook or conspiracy theorist. Today, with access to more and more information, people are making more informed decisions about their health, who to vote for, or which products to buy. Corporations that want to survive, will need to put out a product that is safe and effective and not rely on name calling and threats to push their products.
Its easy to perform a study to prove whatever conclusion your trying to reach. Isn't observation at the core of science. Growing up in the eighties, out of +1800 kids in our high school there was maybe 3 or 4 kids that had some type of disability and maybe 5 or 6 were obese. Childhood cancers, obesity, diabetes, autism, and auto-immune disorders are becoming very common in school age children. Whats really changed since then, the introduction of GMO foods, the dramatic increase of vaccines, and increased use of electronics. We cant always blame video games and Doritos for the ills of this world, my bet is on vaccines.

So then it should be easy to find 5 studies that conclude vaccines cause autism then. Off you go. I'll be waiting here patiently, i wont even critique your sources so long as they are academic, not blogspam.

Diet has worsened significantly, as sedentary lifestyles have increased. Autism is detected these days, back then it was only known of when presenting with severe symptoms.

GMO dangers are towards other crops, not to the humans consuming them.
The same vaccine (MMR) implicated in the debunked study has been in widespread use the whole time, it has not increased.
Please explain how using electronics poses a threat. I figure you might be referring to some 'sedentary lifestyles' kind of argument here, i just want to be sure.
We cant always blame video games and Doritos for the ills of this world, my bet is on vaccines.
Mine is on Aliens, but until i can find at least 5 studies to support my ideas, its little more than a wild idea. And you do not make the kind of extremely important high stakes bets like exposing a generation to epidemics of highly aggressive diseases, on some wild idea or speculation.
If your parent concerned about vaccinating a child, just do some research on youtube about vaccine harm or read the back of any vaccine insert. It should make you think twice about vaccinating. If you work for a pharma company then it doesn't matter what I say. You'll produce efficacy studies to suit your conclusions, bribe a couple politicians, offer CDC bureaucrats cushy executive jobs, or create an over hyped media story to scare people into vaccinating. If your parent, please do your research. Also, I like the Aliens theory that was funny.
So you were unable to provide me with any studies that conclude vaccines cause autism. Why?
But anyway you still suggest i should reject vaccination. To "protect from harm" i guess is your twisted logic... logic based on youtube videos, is that right? You do know how much garbage is on youtube. Anybody with video editing software can make something which looks like TV, but without any of the "standards" you'd expect from TV.
This is not evidence.
You know the risk of harm from diseases we have vaccinations against? The crippling effects of measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tetanus, whooping cough, tuberculosis, HPV? Ill health, disability and early death is the harm presented by these diseases. This is science fact. The autism link a fraudster kook came up with is science fiction, which was debunked and he was stripped of his license. This is not a concpiracy, i am not a shill, please stop promoting the illness, disability and death of the next generation.

Link me 5 studies, not blogspam links, 5 studies, that support the conclusion vaccines cause autism.
