there is a reason why patients need to get individualized before medical treatment
just like that patients react differently to drugs, also applies to vaccines
you seem to be overcomplicating a very simple process
you just have list of what you're intolerant or allergic to, and the person(s) giving it will determine what to do. it's that simple
we've been led to believe that autism is predominantly genetic
but the twin studies they use, have not included the geneXenvironment factor
meaning genes interacting with the environment
while the studies showing GeneXenvironment factor show that autism is epigenetic, not genetic
which could explain the significant increase in autism, change in diagnosis is responsible for just a 56% increase
it went from 1 in 10k to 1 in 36 in the US
in the Netherlands, it's about 1 in 100 or 1 in 50 (possibly overestimation)
air pollution, water pollution and other environmental factors shouldn't be forgotten
not to even forget the influence from birth control pills, which contain hormones
what the hormones do to a fetus' brain is unknown
there has never been an increase in autism, only an increase in diagnosis because of a better understanding of the disorder. that was a poor correlation to make.
I've always expected this to be one argument for the increase
on the associated genes, what are the functions of those genes in the first place?
focusing on environmental factors, even prenatal (depends on what the pregnant mother consumes) is important...
Why are the autism cases so low in Poland, Taiwan, China and the Netherlands?
you are somewhat correct with some disorders being caused by what a mother eats/drinks (for example, too much alcohol) but you have the complete wrong idea. immune system memory is different to consumption, it is passed on to the child for a while but it makes no difference to genes before birth. in fact they go away after a while, that's why kids fall ill often.
sometimes there are environmental factors mutating the genes
oh and to autism correlation, that wouldn't be a reliable point to prove as not everyone gets diagnosed and there could just be potentially less than other countries, and population is also a factor.
although there is always an average, there is never an exact amount everywhere.
so we need a control group
when it comes to percentage, it's about how it has grown
However, isn't it preferred to have autism over dying at a young age from an easily preventable disease
it depends on which disease, just compare the US vaccine schedule to other nations' vaccine schedules
in general, they shouldn't be mandatory either, as that further escalates the whole situation
as the cumulative aluminum exposure has increased, it can be correlated with autism on multiple ways, not just through injection. Also through the brain studies
1 mcg/g dry wt. aluminum is pathologically benign
autism is still not nearly as bad as the multitudes of old world diseases one could contract, and, even if true, is still in extremely minute and rare cases. if nothing else, this is a matter of simply "which is worse" or even "which is riskier" to an extent
that's true
but having this diagnosis for live sounds defeatist from a philosophical standpoint
infection diseases are treatable. To some extend, vaccines that don't contain aluminum exist
if further research should be done on this, then more brain tissues of people diagnosed with ASD who died should be measured (either GF-AAS, ICP-AES or ICP-MS)
otherwise it's a matter of taking some biopts from the brain tissue, which is going to cost more money (surgeon costs)
one of the investigated inviduals had high levels of aluminum in her drinking water (chronic exposure)
furthermore, saying that kids are going to die if they don't take certain vaccines is a flawed argument to state that it's OK for children to suffer vaccine (induced) injury to prevent diseases they could've been exposed to
thimerosal is known to decrease methionine production through inhibiting the enzyme MS
