The autism/vaccine debate is not so simple an issue that one can simply state that there is no link as gospel. As parents of an autistic child, we have done our own investigating and are arriving at the conclusion that there is at least a small link. Here is the (simplified) reason for that conclusion: My wife’s family has high levels of metals in their blood. Normally safe things, like copper and iron. It is because they lack the ability to eliminate these and other metals. The combination of this inability to process metals and vaccines appear to increase the odds for developing autism.
That explains why one can have studies exonerating vaccines while others are convinced that vaccines contribute.
I’m reminded of the phrase: ” There are no Absolutes” and it’s rejoinder: “Absolutely no Absolutes?” Think about it, and don’t be so judgmental.
