Is mercury poisoning a connection between vaccinations and autism?

Question

One of the most challenging things in the medical field has been watching children become neurologically damaged by vaccines, and the widespread blindness of the medical profession to this issue. Unfortunately, because so much money has been spent to engineer the societal belief that vaccines do not cause autism, anyone that asserts otherwise is immediately subject to widespread ridicule, to the point it’s mostly a lost cause to convince medical professionals vaccines aren’t always safe. In many cases, the only thing that can open their eyes is their own child being severely injured.

Though there are a host of adverse effects of vaccines, they have been studied for nearly 100 years in the modern era and the CDC covers every vaccine that children and adults are recommended to take over their lifetimes.

There has long been the conspiracy theory that autism was caused by vaccines, a rumor started by a doctor who'd lost his medical license, was not a researcher and had done no statistical studies on the matter. This was an idea of this particular doctor that was never backed up by supportable science, and statistical studies have shown there is no correlation between vaccines and autism.

However, there are loads of POSSIBLE side effects of vaccines from diarrhea to seizures. Most of the severe side effects are exceptionally rare. Most side effects are vaccine site swelling, redness, mild fevers.

AND, immunocompromised people should be guided by doctors as to which vaccines they should avoid because death could be a side effect of their usage of some vaccines if a person is severaly ill.

However, death is not a side effects of the measles vaccine, though getting measles has killed several children.

Vaccines are not perfect. People can still get the illnesses they are vaccinated against, but vaccines protect the vaccinated from extended periods of sickness, and most vaccinated peoples' illnesses are short-lived.

This info is from the Autism Speaks website.

"Research tells us that autism tends to run in families, and a meta-analysis of 7 twin studies claim that 60 to 90% of the risk of autism comes from your genome. If you have a child with autism, you are more likely to have another autistic child. Your other family members are also more likely to have a child with ASD..

Factors for autism: Advanced parental age
Prenatal exposure to air pollution or certain pesticides
Maternal obesity, diabetes or immune system disorders
Extreme prematurity or very low birth weight
Birth complications leading to periods of oxygen deprivation to the baby’s brain

Autism prevalence has risen due to increased awareness of autism, broader diagnostic criteria for autism, improved screening tools and standardized screening processes. These factors have led to earlier detection and more diagnoses. "

I know two people, one being my younger sister and another a parent, whose child was born normal and after a vaccine was given to their child, they noticed a sudden change in them. The parent’s child became disabled, non communicative, and my sisters child severely autistic. My feeling is that the medical community and its organizations are not being forthcoming with the possibility that the mercury that seals the tips of the vaccines can do harm to children. Maybe these children are more sensitive enough that their nervous systems are negatively affected by the vaccines.

We changed how we diagnose Autism, realizing it is a wider umbrella also we have more resources for adults and children than prior.

Girls were once excluded since it was believed to be Boys only which prevented Girls from getting the services , help , assistance they deserved. I’m lucky I got IEP , Special Ed Classroom , and Aide support that really helped.

Autism is genetic. Explains why my Parent B. Side doesn’t have Autism , though explains why my Parent A. Side does. Once their genetic makeup mixed, it passed down to me and other offspring.

Also misguided parents will push this thought “if my kid has Autism, that means they can’t get vaccinated because it might get worse”. Autism isn’t a ‘disease’ though misinformed masses sure push it like it is one. They might need more support emotionally and mentally , also guardrails in place to help them down the scary road of life though you are their parents so guide them to right options. Vaccines don’t cause Autism and you are hurting them by simplifying causes / solutions when you could be giving them emotional , mental support with pushing for services they need to function.

Without refuting your possible link we also have to consider how society approaches it.

Autism historically was often shameful. In the late 1990s to early 2000s mental health saw much of its stigma removed. In terms of diagnosis we went from DSM3 to DSM4. And Autism shifted from basically being a super severe language deficit to being a matter of social difficulties.
We also became much more open to diagnosing developmental cognitive behaviours such as autism. Most of the support also shows that it is a born cognitive trait, not something that can reasonably be caused by vaccination.

In 2013 Autism and Aspbergers were merged to both be called Autism. This due it being a similar, biological, neurodivergence at play. The increase in 2013 is almost exclusively going to be because we decided to merge two conditions.

So its pretty impossible to say if what you list might have some level of impact but there are much more likely reasons to these changes. Namely that we literally redefined what autism meant between each or your dates.

Sometimes more oranges being sold isn't because oranges became more popular as a standalone food item but because they are used for more things or heck, there are more people in the world.

Anyway I very sincerely dount vaccines and autism have any real link and this all seems like falsely attributing a growth in one thing to be linked to another. Which we can do for pretty much anything. Adult entertainment and IQ have both gone up steadily, link? Who knows.

"I'd rather my child die of a preventable disease than adapt to a neurological topology." As if Autism is somehow  more  of a death sentence. (Not that I believe vaccines do that.) It's natural to care about what goes into yourself and your children. But this isn't fear of vaccines. It's fear of medical corruption, and fear of having to adapt to take care of someone with a different view of the world. As if they can't be happy without sanitization. Autism is not a bad thing to be solved. I think it's important to understand how things happen, sure, but we lose far more by trying to cancel vaccines.

Yeah right, where’s this mercury supposedly coming form anyway?

You be better off investigating the link between aluminum and autism, ya know the kind they keep spraying above our heads, along with Strontium and Barium, in those long streaks across the sky, over and over deliberately, for hours on end, which everyone sees but dismisses as everyday contrails, although planes are up there everyday (you would think making these trails) but these ‘clouds’ curiously are not there everyday….

So yeah, why don’t you make yourself useful and check that out?

WindAtMyBack · Answer

Any reasonable person would look at numbers like that and immediately throw them out. Those numbers are completely meaningless.

The definition of autism has broadened so dramatically that damn near anything is called autism these days. 90% of what is called autism today would never have been called autism 40-50 years ago.

You could correlate autism to probably hundreds of different things. Any of which could be a cause of autism. The key words are "could be". But the drastic broadening of the definition of autism isn't "could be", it's an absolutely fact.

The definition has been broadened so much that I completely ignore modern claims of "autism".

The conspiracy theory that vaccines causes autism has been debunked since forever. It was started by a guy to try sell his own vaccines by slander his competitors in a fake study for causing autism. You are literally falling for sales propaganda by a person who has confessed that it was all bullshit years ago.

Not only do we know that the vaccines are safe, but we even threw you people a bone by switching out the mercury based preservative for vaccines given to babies for other alternatives since you appear to care about it so much. Does it change anything? Not really, but it does make your picture and claim funnier since we dont even do that anymore and you did not notice.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

There never was any connection between vaccines and autism and there never will be. That‘s conspiracy bullshit for people who also believe that a Democratic cabal is drinking the blood of children in the basement of a pizzeria in Washington. 🤦‍♂️

ImalwaysrightOK · Answer

No, my personal belief is that it's women having babies towards the end of their reproductive years when their eggs are dried up and mutated that causes autism. Basically selfish women having kids at 36, 37 instead of when they should be having children at 23, 24.

msc545 · Answer

Vaccines do not cause autism and that has been proven over and over and over again to the point that it's not even worth talking about anymore. The effects of mercury poisoning are well known and they have nothing to do with autism.

Many different kinds of metals are used. Once they cross the blood brain barrier you can no longer detect the metals in your blood. Heavy metal poisoning attacks the nervous system. Autism is a nervous system disorder.

NordicInScandinavia · Answer

Only the uneducated think that vaccines and autism are connected and tbh, they should be ridiculed.

shortster · Answer

I don't know if they directly cause autism. It runs in families suggesting a genetic cause. However, 80 vaccines before you turn 3 is bound to have negative side effects. That and going from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 40 cases doesn't seem like just a result of increased awareness. Then again the way people talk about society in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if autism used to be more common than neurotypical people.

Chemicals is a suspected connection in general. But the environment is full of them comparing to 100 years ago where it was just steel/coal/lead paint etc. Toxins but not false fragrances and massive plastics.

Twalli · Answer

Except no peer reviewed studies can prove this. In contrast, all peer reviewed studies can prove the opposite. If vaccines really did cause autism every vaccinated person would be autistic. However, since you prefer high child mortality you come up with an unproven theory in you attempt to ensure more children die.

kespethdude · Answer

There is no connection to vaccines or mercury or anything like that to autism. Anyone who thinks there is should be banned from the entire Internet.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Mercury poisoning can fuck you up in a lot of ways, but it doesn't cause Autism. My guess is that the problem is our insanely toxic diets, exposure to plastics, and our bullshit air quality.

do a deep dive on all the ways we have been exposed to heavy metals by incompetent and frankly stupid industry leaders. it's jaw dropping

No, it's not. There is no connection between vaccines and autism. There is a clear connection between vaccines and childhood diseases -- vaccinate your child or risk their health.
