New Study Shows Autism Increases with Vaccination

by Lourdes Salvador

No more can the public be denied that there is evidence of a connection between vaccines and autism. New peer-reviewed and journal published research shows that a mere 1% increase in vaccination rates is associated with an additional 680 children having autism.

"Although mercury has been removed from many vaccines, other culprits may link vaccines to autism," says City University of New York, Baruch College researcher Delong. "One of those triggers might be the battery of vaccinations that young children receive."

Autism rapidly rises in prevalence with the increase of vaccinations given to children.

Although individuals probably have a genetic predisposition to develop autism, researchers suspect that one or more environmental triggers are also needed, triggers, such as exposure to vaccines.

A regression analysis controlling for family income and ethnicity revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between vaccines and autism. The higher the proportion of children receiving recommended vaccinations, the higher the rates of autism.

Delong says that neither parental behavior nor access to care affected the results and further study into the relationship between vaccines and autism is warranted.

If they can know that autism has a predisposition genetically then why can't they know that MCS has a trigger or some sort of way it is being induced . I developed MCS after medications which are categorized in the same pharamaceutical way, produced, and marketed in the same way as most poisonous drugs that buy out the FDA and are on the market the next day and stay there no matter how many people get sick. Article did not really explain anything we did not know except for the 1 percent increase. In my opinion there needs to be a research team investigating such devastating illnesses but the pharmacueitcal companies control all of the health reasoning and decisions so this will never happen in my lifetime atleast. Codex Alimentarius anyone?
