why aren't nuts talking about how cancer treatment causes autism or something???

[Kimono]

obviously we know that the handicap-nuts who create giant controversies about everything that's at least a tad bit helpful and unnatural to human life are kind of mega-tards

so why aren't those nuts bashing on chemotherapy or any way to treat cancer as causing some hocus pocus bullstuff like autism in your cousin's dad's fifth cousin's child's ear or something?

well because who would you feel worse telling off

a parent who had their children get vaccinated or a parent whose kid has cancer

What are you asking? I think you're asking why there are anti-vaccination people but not anti-chemo people? There are people against chemo, they have "natural cures" for cancer. But chemo has some pretty obvious benefits and  problems to people with no medical background. So they don't really need to make up a bunch of reasons to as why it's bad. Vaccines benefits aren't obvious to everyone, they take a bit more research to understand. So it's a lot easier to make up a bunch of bullstuff about them.

You're wondering why there aren't people who believe that?

Everyone knows radiation and chemotherapy treatment is bad for you. It's only a short-term cure, and comes back in 10-20 years. I hear cannabis oil works? I seen stuff about cancer treatment, autism treatment, etc on the local news for it.

My mom is a vaccination pro.  She does think that certain issues (autism included) can potentially be caused by the artificial preservatives and stuff in them.  I most likely have Asperger's and my oldest first cousin has severe autism.  His brother also had a seizure from a vaccination side effect.  She did ban all vaccinations from entering anyone in my family for several years, but we get stuff like meningococcal, influenza, Tdap/Dtap, Hepatitis, etc now.  Her problem now is giving vaccinations in heavy amounts to babies.  Their immune systems simply shouldn't have to handle all that.

Well she's wrong. There is no evidence to support vaccinations causing autism. So she's not that much of a pro I guess.

I realize the vaccinations haven't been proven to cause autism and whatnot, but there have been problems with low health standards in the facilities that produce them.

On a side note, I wonder why they haven't figured out the cause of autism yet.

There is no evidence to support vaccinations causing autism.

BUT it's possible.  Better safe than sorry.

yeah obviously everyone should get cancer instead of autism

[Leidoffon]

Don't you think it would be being safer not taking your chances with smallpox?

[Char]

BUT it's possible.  Better safe than sorry.

BUT there's no evidence so there's not really a reason to follow "better safe than sorry"??

AND EVEN THEN, your point is self-refuting because even if it has some chance of causing autism (which it doesn't), it still protects you from those illnesses that would otherwise be pretty harmful.

Just saying.

also you can go watch that Penn & Teller episode on anti-vaccination if you want...

BUT it's possible.  Better safe than sorry.

Having a parent that work for Astra Zeneca, I can tell you that there is no possible way for you to develop autism from a flu vaccine of any strain.

Would you rather feed your irrational fear and risk getting sick or not get sick?

BUT it's possible.  Better safe than sorry.

That's a terrible logical path. Vaccinations for diseases we know exist, or not having any at all on the off-chance that they might give you autism. There is literally no scientific evidence that vaccinations can give you autism and the "better safe than sorry" approach to vaccinations is like saying "we might get cancer from computer monitors better go back to the loving stone age"
