(40,416 posts)I don't wish to duke it out with you. I am not that kind of person.
But your claim of a vaccine autism connection just does not hold up to what the science says. It says emphatically no connection in study after study after study that go back decades.
The research also says that the MMR vaccine (the one usually in question) is safe and effective with very few adverse reactions (not no incidents).
You can find out all you want on the safety and effectiveness at places like the CDC and the WHO Web sites. They will have all the data one needs to evaluate the questions you seem to be asking.
And it is good that you are asking them. I just hope you go to credible sources to answer them and not merely sites which support a particular bias.
Again, I recommend science sites.
Take care and thanks for the good dialog. I enjoyed it even though we both talked past each other. You remained polite. Thanks for that, too. I have to run out to the store, so I will have to end it here.
