Kasz216 said: I'd say vaccinations are most likely a good thing. Some people blame them for the rise in autism, I THINK later medical studies have proven that not to be the case, but i haven't studied it in any great degree so couldn't say which if either groups experiments were valid. There probably some decent sized lobbies on both sides of the argument. Either way, something in modern life is causing a huge increase in autism. With the CDC suggesting in the US its now 1 in 88 which seems crazy high. |
Pharma companies can earn just as much or even more with curing diseases or treating symptoms instead of preventing them or get rid of them.
They arent white knights but definetly not devils without conscious either. Not helping someone because of the cost and actively make people suffer or killing them for higher profits are two different things. If Autism has anything to do with vaccinations why is the increase happening right now and not in the 80s ?
Social akwardness is no sickness let me introduce you to the various fashionable diseases:
AD(H)D, Depression (Burnout), Autism (Asperger)
or the fainting which was envogue decades ago.
I am not saying those sicknesses dont exist but people are very susceptible when it comes to stuff like that through media its spreading faster than in the old days. Its like a giant placebo effect. I was diagnosed with ADD and I ofcourse used this new excuse for everything. Now people say they have Autism (Asperger) and its a great excuse for not trying to put up with people. Heck I even have almost Autism according to this test:

Autism has forms that are very serious. But being just a grumpy teenager afraid to make social bonds and being painfully shy wasnt called a sickness 50 years ago same for hyperactive rebellious kids. Those were personality trades. Its like there is a gold standard how people have to feel to be considered healthy.
Depression is a life threatening disease but nowadays its also an overused diagnosis.
BTW: Studys arent flawless. They can easily being misread or just totally wrong from the start executed in a sloppy way or even tempered with to show certain results. Every doctor can make a study and show the results to the world. There were tons of myths started by studys: like Ecstasy makes holes in your brain. The autism caused by vaccination was also BS. Some guy said 1998 that according to his study the MMR vaccination causes autism. This guy faked evidence because he got 55000 pounds and was decleared guilty in 2010 and lost his license. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy
It was all BS from the begining the pharma giants dont need the money from those vaccinations they can treat the symptoms measels, mumps and rubella cause and let the viruses roam freely instead of selling a once in a lifetime vaccination. Also after the licence for a certain med runs out the profit margin becomes small. New meds are were the money is.
I wouldnt trust one result in anything even from a good source. Just like Neutrinos arent faster than light, MMR vaccination doesnt cause Autism. But we will hear about it for decades to come.
