I honestly don't want to piss anyone off. This will be my last thought on the whole thing anyway.

But the thrust of the counter-argument here seems to be, "Science has declared the vaccines don't cause autism, so we should never investigate, worry or even think about this issue ever again. Science has spoken on this issue. Vaccines cannot, never, nor will they ever be implicated in any neruological development issues in children."

Again we go back to the question: how do you prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt?

Again I could point to a man who has never smoked tobacco in his life, nor ever met anyone who has smoked and yet he has inoperable lung cancer.

Waitaminute! How can we say smoking can lead to lung cancer when this man never smoked in his life and yet developed the worst kind of lung cancer imaginable? If it's possible to a) get lung cancer without smoking and b) smoke your whole life with ever developing lung cancer then how can we link smoking to this particular disease?

And isn't that kinda/sorta similiar to what's happening here? Vaccines and autism are in the same situation.

Kids who never got a vaccine developed autism, therefore we can't really claim that the vaccine causes autism outright all by itself.

Fair enough, I suppose.

How about we just slap a warning (similir to the one on tobacco products) saying: use of this product may lead to autism?

My only issue is that the judgement seems to be making a blanket pronouncement when it really isn't justified.

Do some people have a genetic predisposition to cancer? Sure. Can smoking trigger cancer to occur (or at least be more severe) in such a person? Sure. Smoking certainly doesn't help, right?

Okay, well what if some kids are born with a genetic predispostion to developing neurlogical issues? Isn't it at least theortically possible that something in these vaccines might trigger a problem that may manifest as autism or as something else entirely such as ADHD?

It is insulting to label people who still have questions about the effects of vaccines as "conspiracy theorists."

Every human being has a unique gentic structure.

Will every single person who takes YAZZ get a blood clot? No, but there is POETENTIAL, isn't there?

Will every single human being who taken an Ambien sleeping pill have night terrors or feel a compulsion to gamble ( a swear-toGod listed side effect)? No, but the poetential is there.

Now what if these vaccines only effect one in 100,000 kids? And what if it doesn't always induce autism but other neutlogical symptoms such as ADHD?

Does that mean that vaccines instantly cause autism in all human beings every single time? No, and no one is saying that it does. Repeat: no one here is arguing that ALL vaccines instantly create autism in all human beings (instantly!) within minutes of injection.

What we are saying is that there is enough unanswered questions about the vaccines so that is, to be blunt, a damn lie to tell parents, "We personally gaurantee that this vaccine will never, not under any circumstances, ever have any harmful neurological impact on your child."

And that is exactly what this article is saying.

People are "stupid" who have doubts about the dangers and unknown side effects of these vaccines.

No one is arguing that vaccines alone cause autism nor are we saying that everyone everywhere will instantly get autism if they get a vaccine.

We're just saying: don't bullshit us.

It hasn't been proven that these vaccines are 100 percent harmless in everyone and, yeah, it damn well could cause problems in 1 in 100,000 kids.

People have a right to know and its criminal to imply that these vaccines are basically gauranteed by God Himself to be 100 percent harmless to everyone when no such thing has been proven.

Yes, we'll all conceed that 99 percent of the population will never have an adverse reation, okay, but can you really say with 100 percent cetainty that not a single human child will ever have a "bad reaction" to these vaccines that might/possibly impair their neurological development?

We see the exact same phenomenon with the iPorn apps. People use them for only 2-3 mins and then never revist them. Not even a phone call!

Yeah, it would be a nice feature...but then again could AT&T actually handle sending video (assuming SENDING short video clips is the whole point of the feature)? They can't even provide more than one bar of coverage in the middle of the most populace metros areas in the US! Simply making a phone cll pushes AT&T's infrastructure to the absolute limit.

The iPhone would be the greatest device in the world...if it could have been developed within Japan's wireless infrastructure.

But we live in America and America is a 3rd world country when it comes to bandwidth.

So I personally believe that Jobs said "Fuck it" to the video because it would just be another embarrasement. The damn iPhones cna't even make CALLS 52 percent of the time, so let's not venture into videos.
