Wasn't it recently discovered that the man who made that claim had created false evidence?

whats the point of being immunized when your clearly going to be eaten alive
For yalls who don't know, that was a lie. The person who flaunted that crap around got major jail time for crappy research, and faulty information.
I just wonder what you say to your child when he finds out that a (in our county legally obligatory) vaccine against polio would've kept him out of a wheelchair.
seriously, what do you say?

I was born with Autism and i think its a load of crap that any vaccination causes Autism.
The doctor who pushed forward this autism bullshit lost his license for doing so. Mothers who deny their children necessary vaccines are either incredibly selfish, stupid, or both.

In 1998, dimestore scientist Andrew Wakefield and 12 other scientists published a paper on 12 kids who had varying illnesses. According to their own parents, these issues showed up after the kids got an MMR vaccine. After a crazy battery of tests Wakefield concluded that there might be some link between the vaccine and the ailments that had befallen the children.
Just like that, he became the champion of the anti-vaccination movement, spurring a generation of parents who forgo vaccines for fear of giving their children autism or other developmental disorders.
How it's a con: first, to be clear, the science shows that vaccines do not cause autism. If you don't believe the CDC, you can look at the pretty much equal ratios of non-U.S. children whose autism hasn't been tied to vaccines because they never got vaccinated. However, the subject has been the source of controversy over the past few years, and what is so terrifying about the sudden drop in vaccinations is that most of the controversy came directly from Wakefield.
For starters, Wakefield's own scientist couldn't duplicate the results. There is also overwhelming evidence Wakefield manipulated his data to ensure that children who were sick before getting the vaccine were reported as only being sick after. He flat-out changed results he didn't like or that didn't completely agree with his hypothesis, all while performing needless, painful tests on children.
So why would he do all that?
Well, there's the patent for a new MMR vaccine that Wakefield himself filled out before he published his paper, and the money he accepted from a legal aid fund that was trying to sue vaccine manufacturers (it's almost as if he had a massive financial stake in scaring people into believing that the MMR vaccine was dangerous).
The paper was so flawed that 10 authors and the publisher of the journal it appeared in have retracted the work. That's right -- the people who helped create and publish the paper now say that it's bullshit.

Even if you were immune to a zombie disease, you'd probably still get mauled and die.
The word "Autism" sounds like Snoop Dogg saying the word "Awesome".
Fo shizzle that shit was AWTIZZUM niggue

Cause the hundreds of zombies that are trying to eat you will totally just bite you once, say "meh, that's good enough, they're infected now", and walk away.

Okay, jimmies rustled. Even though it's not intended of you.
1) No vaccine have been linked to giving children autism. There once were a man who said there were, but had falsified the results and got sent to jail.
2) Albert Einstein had the symptoms of a mild autism called Asberger syndrom, and many others were expected to have Aspergers such as:
Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, H P Lovecraft, Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charles Darwin, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and so on.
3) Hans Asperger, the German doctor who discovered the syndrome, believed that "for success in science or art, a dash of autism is essential. The essential ingredient may be an ability to turn away from the everyday world, from the simply practical and to rethink a subject with originality so as to create in new untrodden ways with all abilities canalized into the one specialty."
Bend over for the master race fucking blond cunt.
