I used to be anti-vac before researching the topic more. Now I'm down with it.

It's always nice to hear that the slight difference you have to other people is a fate people would rather have their kids die than have.

I wouldn't want my child to die either. But I feel so bad for the trapped minds of those with severe autism :(

Isn't there an artist who because he has autism has a great memory? He can draw an entire city in detail from memory, and more.

There is an autistic piano player who can play Flight of the Bumblebee insanely fast starting in any given key. He is also blind.

Death or autism...death or autism...oh, wait, I'm already autistic and I don't give a shit. I think I'll take that over death.

Even if they did, a person with mild autism can still live a normal life by themselves.

As a slightly autistic person. YES. And I'm glad I'm not dead by preventable disease

It's not a disability. It's just a different way of thinking. They are all just afraid of the different and the complex.

sadly its the parents making the choice. They would rather take the chance with the childs life than take the time to potentially raise 1/2

It's both a misunderstanding of the danger, and ignorance of how severely dangerous these preventable illnesses are.

"take the time to potentially raise"...that's a nice way of putting the lifelong commitment some parents have with autistic children.

Oh ya because they actually have to be parents now instead of just teaching the basics and then dropping thier child in front of a screen

Just imagine how many people with autism there were if 1 out of 110 would get it from vaccines.

11 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

That's the point. EVEN IF the vaccines caused autism, autism isn't a death sentence.

Dignitas treats it as an incurable condition and reasonable grounds for assisted suicide. It has to be the patient's choice of course.

AUSTISM is not something to kill yourself over, but it's GREAT justification for a depressed mind to go through with it.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Plus if you're autistic, you can actually adapt to your specialized brain and still have a great life. Can't adapt to being dead.

11 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

If the rate of vaccines causing autism were very high, I'd understand the outrage but since it instead appears to approach 0%, it's bull.

11 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 1

Even then, Vaccines would still be necessary. We can not go back unless we are willing to accept infant mortality rates of upwards of 10%

Unfortunately people don't like hearing opinions that differ from their own. Views dropped off w/ each episode as they covered more subjects

11 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

Part of the problem is that they often left wide open holes in their arguments. I was usually on their side and it was still frustrating.

11 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Wish it would be brought back. We could use more shit like it rather than another fucking reality show.

I thought I heard a while ago, before this anti-vax, that some people didn't want to get their dogs rabies shots? Because of bad reactions?

I'd rather have my pet undergo some general discomfort as they acclimate to the live vaccine than die from getting bit by anything.

I think the bad reaction was that some dogs died.

I looked at the source, that is WAY over-complicating a single script that has to display "YES" on a certain date and "NO" any other time...

11 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Accounting for date and time within a script is more complicated than it should be, due to time-zones, different styles of dates...
