vaccines are safe. Of course, that doesn’t include the COVID vaccine–that is neither a vaccine nor safe.
But real vaccines have come out well, and in studies with HUGE sample sizes. And NO link to Autism. As I have said for a year, I think it is quite clear that autism and vaccines are linked in time, because everyone gets them at around two years, which is why both are observed occur contemporaneously. But they’re not causally related. The relationship is merely temporal.
A massive, 24-year-long study of more than 1.2 million children provides reassurance to parents around the world.
The research has found no compelling evidence that childhood vaccines lead to autism, asthma, or dozens of other chronic disorders. [emphasis in original]
Oh, and aluminum salts? Nope. Not a sausage.
Researchers in Denmark examined the safety of a specific vaccine ingredient – aluminum salts – which, despite frequent debunking, remains a common talking point among vaccine skeptics. Clinical trials have tested their safety extensively, and they’ve been used in non-live vaccines for more than 70 years to boost the immune system’s response to lower doses of medicine.
I don’t think we will ever get universal agreement, but I think from a purely scientific perspective the data are in. People are, of course, free to do whatever they want. But this study is pretty dang persuasive.
