The exponential explosion in numbers alone should have tipped you off. Go watch Vaxxed.

Here we go again... PubMed is maintained by the US federal government as a resource for up to date information for doctors and medical researchers.

1) The risk of neurodevelopmental disorders following Thimerosal-containing Hib vaccine in comparison to Thimerosal-free Hib vaccine administered from 1995 to 1999 in the United States. "...This study provides suggestive evidence of an association between Thimerosal and neurodevelopmental outcomes and provides support for carrying out additional well-designed studies examining the association between Thimerosal-containing vaccines and a wide range of neurodevelopmental outcomes..."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29573974

2) Protective role of alpha-lipoic acid in impairments of social and stereotyped behaviors induced by early postnatal administration of thimerosal in male rat "...neonatal dose-dependent exposure to Thimerosal mimicking the childhood vaccine schedule can induce abnormal social interactions and stereotyped behaviors similar to those observed in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism,.."

3) Thimerosal changes protein conformation and increase the rate of fibrillation in physiological conditions: Spectroscopic studies using bovine serum albumin (BSA). "...Finally, it was proven that both TM and EtHgCl accelerate the protein fibrillation kinetics in 42 and 122%, respectively, indicating the toxicity of these compounds in biological systems..."

And I'll go ahead and link the rest of my usual response:

4) National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program "In very rare cases, a vaccine can cause a serious problem, such as a severe allergic reaction. In these instances, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) may provide financial compensation to individuals who file a petition and are found to have been injured by a VICP-covered vaccine."

6) CDC: "BCG, or bacille Calmette-Guerin, is a vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) disease. Many foreign-born persons have been BCG-vaccinated. BCG is used in many countries with a high prevalence of TB to prevent childhood tuberculous meningitis and miliary disease. However, BCG is not generally recommended for use in the United States because of the low risk of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the variable effectiveness of the vaccine against adult pulmonary TB, and the vaccine’s potential interference with tuberculin skin test reactivity. The BCG vaccine should be considered only for very select persons who meet specific criteria and in consultation with a TB expert."

10) In Kings County Washington, between 2002-2007, of the 176 confirmed cases of pertussis in infants under age 1 seventy-seven percent were age-appropriately vaccinated.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21727277

11) Since the 1993 pertussis epidemic in Cincinnati occurred primarily among children who had been appropriately immunized, it is clear that the whole-cell pertussis vaccine failed to give full protection against the disease.

12) Objective 2 of the Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013-2018 calls for an important transition in the vaccines used to eradicate polio and requires the removal of all oral polio vaccines (OPVs) in the long term. This will eliminate the rare risks of vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP) and circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV).

This is total BS. Unvaccinated kids develop autism at the same rate as vaccinated. This is dangerous to the point it should be illegal. It's like yelling fire in a crowded theater, when there is no fire.

Spoken by someone who has neither listened to the competent and experienced MDs in the documentary Vaxxed, nor studied the CDC's data manipulation, nor read the study itself. 'Nuff said.

No never enough said when it comes to this topic! If you want to be one of those brain dead people who chooses to put your own kids at risk and put the lives of those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical conditions at risk, that's your own ignorance but don't put idiocy out there for others to hop on the clown car with you. The absolute ONLY reason you can even be so ignorant to the risks, is due to the successful vaccination of generations of people and the modern world being so far removed from the days when 3/4 of the population died of disease!

I also checked your link. It's completely bogus. Funding was paid for by anti-vaccine radicals like yourself, only richer. One supporter and activist was a professor who lost his position due to his anti-vaccine blather and was looking for vindication. The study has flaws throughout, from beginning to end.

In relation to your "Vaxxed" so called documentary. Abstention from vaccination is responsible for thousands of deaths since the year 2000. You really want to be responsible for more? YOUR MEME CAN KILL PEOPLE!!!!

Do you have a link to a peer-reviewed study to back your claim? I have not seen this and would be interested in reading this.

Sure thing. Take a look here:

https://www.ageofautism.com/2017/05/pilot-comparative-study-on-the-health-of-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-6-12-year-old-us-children.html

As the documentary Vaxxed explains, the CDC has historically fought like crazy to PREVENT such studies from taking place and altered its own data to suppress the obvious phenomenon.

I believe you can download a pdf of the study itself and might recommend it.

I found the article you referenced. I also found that it has been removed from multiple journals websites.

While I am not a fan of Snopes. they have an interesting analysis of the article.

https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/05/17/vaccine-study-autism/

There seems there is also a concern on how this study was funded and by whom.

I will have to do more research as there are good arguments on both sides.

OK, I went to the website you referenced. You are kidding, right?

The founding editor, Dan Olmsted, was a journalist who worked for the Unification Church (The Moonies) who died from an overdose of prescription drugs.

Not one of their staff has any medical background, including Teresa Conrick who is listed as the science editor.

There are multiple articles from recognized medical publications that ridicule this site and it's findings outright.

According to an article by a Dr. Harrison, Conrick’s post on Age of Autism on July 23, 2014, “Dear America, You Are Being Bamboozled Again About Autism and Genes,”
"should raise a number of red flags regarding her scholarship, basic understanding of science, common sense, and perhaps, even her ethics."

In fact, the following professionals have all written articles debunking this site.
Julie Boom, MD, Melody Butler, BSN, RN, Margaret Fisher, MD, Gary Freed, MD, MPH,
Alan Hinman, MD, MPH, Tim Jacks, DO, FAAP,
Mary Beth Koslap-Petraco DNP, CPN, BSN,
Gary Marshall, MD, Paul Offit, MD, Georges Peter, MD, Mark H. Sawyer, MD, William Schafner, MD, David Tayloe, MD

I am sorry, but I do not consider this a valid or credible argument to support your position. If you have a better reference, I would be happy to research it.

1. The Olmsted stuff is an argumentum ad hominem, as you probably know, and therefore irrelevant. This also dispatches your second and third paragraphs.

2. You didn't provide a link, so I looked up Harrison's article. None of it addresses the study in question. This therefore dispatches all the MD's you cite: they remain irrelevant to the study itself.

3. You asked for a link to the study. The messenger is irrelevant: I mentioned you could find the study itself.

The study remains unassailed. You can find it for yourself. It may be a rock in a hornet's nest of many people's dogma, but none of that matters. The data is what does.

This is the way real science works.

I spent $3.99 and 1 1/2 hours of my time to watch the film Vaxxed on YouTube.

A very well produced film that brought up some very interesting information that I have not heard before.

While this goes against most research I have previously read, I will have to do more research to see if I believe if this film is true or not.

One thing I have found out so far is that Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the director of the film, has had his medical license revoked by Britain’s General Medical Council. That could be just a response to the film.

Thank you for bringing this up. I am always open to ideas I have not been exposed to before.

I agree with your assessment. SPatoine's blanket dogmatic dismissal below is unfortunately characteristic of the victims of false scientific method - blanketly assert dogma, assert prior debunking, and above all, NEVER examine and think for yourself. Like you, I found it largely unanswerable - especially with respect to the statistical shenanigans inside the CDC, which of course the brainwashed will almost never speak to.

It's curious Dr Tenpenny mentions Wakefield's 1998 Lancet case study as a basis for conventionalists' claims vaccines are non-harmful when even that was later retracted, but her site has some very good stuff in general like this which includes the reference and has some other good links:

https://vaxxter.com/vaccines-blue-foot-syndrome/

Here's the *direct* link to the study itself as I should have provided originally. It does the usual bowing to the received creeds as you would expect, but it is methodically sound, peer-reviewed, and from a data vantage, extremely damaging. Their statistics and methodology, as you would find reading it through yourself, are sound - addressing alternative explanations/causalities, etc. - which as a result creates a real problem for the core tenet of ASD non-correlation on a large scale.

You spent 3.99 too much and lost 1 1/2hrs you can never get back. Spend 5 minutes googling Vaxxed documentary and discover just how bogus this movie is. This is complete garbage that can and is killing people every day.
