Autism: How is it Caused?

1 in 68 children would receive ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in a study done in 2004, and this study was done over ten years ago. My friend and I had a discussion about this today, whether or not vaccines do cause autism, we decided to allow the facts to speak for themselves. Meaning, I will explain what I believe while sharing the facts. I want to share with everyone what we concluded and uncovered from research from the C.D.C. and the W.H.O.

Who am I?

Hello Ateazi here, I am a health enthusiast as well as an avid gamer from time to time, today we are going to talk about Autism and if vaccines cause it, and what vaccines are/what they do.

What are Vaccines?

Vaccines are an injection of a weakened or dead organism, in which the body builds up antibodies against this organism. This is done in the attempt to prevent the spread of infections such as the Flu, Hepatitis B, amongst other types of diseases. Most of you are probably common with the yearly flu vaccination, but what most of you are probably not aware of is the vaccinations given at birth, the first vaccination to be given is the Hepatitis B, this one is given immediately. After a month it is given again, and another month after that, SIX vaccines are given to an infant. That might seem like an overwhelming amount, due to further investigation and research from the W.H.O. (World Health Organization), these vaccines will do the same thing regardless if they are spread out, or given all at one time.

Correlation Does Not Imply Causation

Back over twenty years ago, there was a researcher who came to the conclusion that Autism is caused by vaccinations. However, the C.D.C. and the W.H.O. have done a numerous amount of different studies trying to find links between Autism and vaccines. Nothing with found linking those two together​, in doing so, they had removed or reduced the amount of thimerosal (which contained​ mercury) in vaccines around the 2000s to prevent the harm in which mercury does to the human body. Ultimately these disease centers have confirmed Autism is not caused by vaccines, the only real issue with vaccines is​ the allergic reaction one might have to a vaccine. Which this is a one in a million chance of this happening. (I was the one in a million that was allergic to a vaccine.)

Conclusion:

Vaccines do not cause Autism, there is so much evidence supporting the fact Autism is not being caused by vaccines. However, vaccines which cause allergic reactions are the only known issue with vaccines that cause lasting effects to the human body.
