I'm really disgusted by the lack of compassion in all the anti-vaccination threads

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

47. Why?

If, as you claim, 'the cause is unknown', why should so many people zero in on a pretense that the cause is vaccinations, rather than, say, some chemical in their water supply or the food they eat? Is there some reason that we need to coddle people with such delusions, as opposed to telling them, 'No, there is no link whatsoever between vaccinations and autism, and believing in such is as foolish as believing that humans have had no effect upon the changes in climate patterns globally.'

Besides, if the rates 'continue to grow exponentially', within a couple decades more, absolutely everyone will be autistic. If the rates are growing so strongly, I think that points to something in the food we eat, the water we drink, or the air we breathe. Something ubiquitous now that was virtually nonexistent a few decades ago. We've had vaccinations for far longer than the soaring rates of autism. They could at least suspect something that's actually only been widespread over the same time as autism rates have been on the rise.
