In 2000 and 2002, the autism estimate was about 1 in 150 children. Two years later 1 in 125 8-year-olds was believed to have autism. In 2006, the number grew to 1 in 110, and then the number went up to 1 in 88 based on 2008 data. It's now 1 in 68.
The largest jump has come with kids with an average or above avg IQ of 85.
Now why do you think that is? Did you ever think about increased awareness in identifying and diagnosing? That the idea of what we classify as autism has changed in the last 20 years.
Use your freaking brain.

LOL.
It unfortunately doesn't work exactly that way. Vaccines are not 100% effective on an individual basis. However, if you get a high enough percentage of the population vaccinated, it becomes very difficult for single cases of diseases to spread.Originally posted by ChrisKnight06:

Call me crazy but politicians on both sides need to STFU and let authorities from the medical field handle the PR on this issue. The public has a general mistrust in politicians as it were. Politicize vaccinations and you'll probably have even more people refusing to get them for their kids.Originally posted by UCFKnight85:

As a U.S. senator and presidential candidate in 2008, Hillary Clinton expressed support for the theory that childhood vaccinations contribute to autism, writing in a campaign questionnaire that she was "committed" to finding the causes of autism, including "possible environmental causes like vaccines."
As The American Prospect reported in April of that year, Clinton called for more research into the autism-vaccination link in response to a questionnaire from the group Advocates for Children's Health Affected by Mercury Poisoning, or A-CHAMP.
Clinton wrote that she was "committed to make investments to find the causes of autism, including possible environmental causes like vaccines."

Why is providing a legitimate link a troll, doc?*Originally posted by KnighttimeJoe:
And yes, Sad is trolling. I have read several of his posts where he has stated shots are safe and have nothing to do with autism. Move on.
Because you've said in the past that vaccinations weren't the cause of autism.Originally posted by UCFOleboy:

No, you would not be arrested.Originally posted by FearTheKnight:
All medicines, including vaccinations, have potential side effects. For vaccines, autism is not one of them.
Am I the only one who thinks it's borderline illegal to drum up baseless anti-vax sentiment? Like, if I went on a crusade about how dangerous driving sober is, wouldn't I get arrested as a detriment to public safety or something? It confounds me that we allow stupid people to have so much say in this country.
Yes. A typo is ironic.Originally posted by R1776U:

So you are saying that a politician, who ( to wildly differing levels ) reflects the thoughts of the people they represent, would not comment on a controversial situation such as this? Especially in the social media age where it's easier than ever to say something with no filter?Originally posted by KnighttimeJoe:

First of all, there should be absolutely no controversy. Science has proven time and again that all of those fears are completely and totally unfounded. But I understand what you are saying. I think the more you involve politicians, however, the more reluctant some become to believe that science. In the case of Rand Paul, seriously, stfu.Originally posted by brahmanknight:

I decided to look it up and I think the reason my example doesn't apply is because it's actually promoting breaking the law. You don't have the right to falsely incite lawbreaking but vaccinations aren't required by law. I don't see them as being fundamentally different situations but the letter of the law is what it is.Originally posted by UCFKnight85:

Like it or not, allowing dumb people to say dumb, dangerous things is protected free speech.
If by "people" you mean "the entire body of scientific evidence and discourse," then yes, maybe "people" are misleading us.Originally posted by UCFOleboy:
People who announce that vaccines don't cause autism are simply misleading you.
