Vaccines and autism has been closely linked as per findings from the past vaccination incidents that caused ASD or Autism Spectrum Disorder. Vaccines are a form of weakened or killed microbe from common childhood diseases like mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus.
Once the microbe is introduced, the immune system will react and destroy it because it is considered as a foreign body. Since it is weakened, it can easily be destroyed without causing a full blown infection and the immune system will recognize it and have a recorded memory of it therefore remembering it when microbes attack again.
Vaccines and Autism – Digging Deeper
Children usually get up to 24 vaccines by the time they reach 2 years old and booster shots are administered as they age to be sure that they are protected from known diseases. It should be taken into consideration that these vaccines contain mercury that may cause harm to the young body.
Mercury has been once thought to cure diseases; it has been used in ancient China as it is believed to give eternal life. It was also used in ancient Greece and ancient Egypt as it is thought to cure a wide array of diseases. However, it proved to be of no claim as when it was taken, many cases of liver failure and brain deaths resulted.
This can be one of the reasons why some children develop autism later on though there is no scientific evidence that supports this claim yet.
Autism on the other hand is a condition wherein it is characterized by repetitive behaviour and impaired communication. It is described as if the child is having his or her own world wherein he interacts with inanimate objects and believes that it is real.
Social interaction is impaired and the child often prefers to be alone. The cause of autism is still left behind doors but according to studies the altered nerve cells and synapses affect the processing of information in the brain therefore leading to autism.
[quote style=”boxed”]Symptoms of Autism include:
- Demonstrates resistance with change
- Stereotypy or the repetitive movement like head rolling, hand flopping and body rocking
- Follows certain pattern of daily activities
- Involved in self injury such as skin picking, head banging, eye pocking and hand biting
- Other symptoms include poor muscle tone and toe walking.
These symptoms only show after the 18 months or most after the age of 2. This has been a reason that the cause of the autism is pointed to the vaccine since vaccines are administered during the first two years of life.[/quote]
The Relationship Between Vaccines and Autism
A lot of court trials have been made for the claims of parents that their children developed autism after routine vaccination was made. The vaccine industry has been protected for quite a while by VICP or Vaccine Injury Compensation Program but recently they have acknowledged that vaccines can really cause autism. Millions of dollars were released by pharmaceutical companies for the specialized care that the affected children needs all throughout their life.
The children affected with autism were healthy before receiving vaccines. Close relatives and family members testify that they are perfectly healthy but after the vaccines, they had a serious brain encephalopathy and later on have shown signs of autism.
Neuroimmunological mediated dysfunction resulted that arose in the form of asthma and ASD. This has been admitted by the VICP but other details with regards about the case have been kept secret from the people.
The Evidence that Links Vaccines and Autism
Vaccines that contain Thimerosal which is a mercury based preservative has been exposed to cause autism. It has been reported that a young girl developed autism symptoms which includes loss of language skills, eye contact and no response to verbal direction.
Claims also came out that seizure and ADEM or Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis has developed after a young boy received MMR vaccine. These cases were awarded compensation but the court would not admit that the cause was the vaccine that was administered to the children.
The federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has admitted that vaccines cause autism.
These evidences cannot deny the fact that autism can be caused by the vaccines that are administered to these children. At a young age they are really susceptible to disease and their organs are not fully developed yet which puts them into a higher risk. Vaccines and autism has been closely linked as shown by evidence but whether to get your child vaccinated or not it’s still up to you to weigh the pros and cons.
