The Independent: Italian court rules MMR vaccine did trigger autism

36. While I can't answer to the rest of your "debunking"

I just heard the former CDC spokesperson, in the video clip, say that vaccines in conjunction with a mitochondrial disorder had resulted in autism-like symptoms. I heard that more than once!

If that is true, then all children should be tested for this disorder BEFORE being vaccinated. Period. Stop.

Further, mercury is not a necessary additive to vaccines to make them work correctly. Mercury is used as a preservative for the vaccines. Perhaps it is time to rethink that aspect of the vaccines. After all, mercury is not good for the human body in any form. Why are we injecting it into the bodies of our most vulnerable?

As the stepmother of a diagnosed autistic, the mother of a son who shows autistic traits, and the sister-in-law of a woman whom I strongly suspect is autistic, I am aware of the probable genetic link. However, as someone who is regularly in several different schools, I am also aware that the autistic population of the schools is abnormally higher than it was ten years ago.

The possiblity of a genetic predispositon for autism that is triggered by the vaccines when it might otherwise have remained dormant is not so unreasonable as to be laughed out of consideration.

The whole idea in searching for an answer is not to refuse to consider possiblities, but to keep an open mind toward the possibilites.

I do not understand the passion of those who so passionately advacate against a possibility as "a steaming pile ..." when the answers are not in yet. It is nearly impossible to prove a negative, except by proving the positive. So far, the proofs of what causes autism are seriously lacking. Until the answers are difinitively observed and proved, everything is speculation, including your passionate aquittal of vaccines.
