This is very much the case with the link between Autism Spectrum Disorder and vaccines; mainly the MMR vaccine and other thimerosal containing vaccines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It is clear that the stance from mainstream science is that there is no link between vaccines and autism. You can find more about that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/brain\/autism\/news\/20130329\/another-study-sees-no-vaccine-autism-link\"  target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. But for many people this does not dispel all concern. <b>Dr. Hooker, PhD, PE\u00a0<\/b>says that the recent\u00a0<b>U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u00a0(CDC)<\/b>\u00a0study on vaccines and autism is\u00a0<i>\u201cperhaps the most flawed and disingenuous study\u201d<\/i>\u00a0he has ever encountered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Given the number of first hand cases that make their rounds stating that children are immediately affected by certain vaccines and parents are noticing something is \u2018wrong\u2019 suddenly with their child, it is easy to see why people are still concerned. In every vaccine and autism link article we have on CE, there are many comments from parents stating that they watched their child change within hours and days of getting certain vaccines. So is there truly reason to be concerned? Are we just paranoid? Or is there something we have not figured out completely yet?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Regardless of the droves of faithful people hanging onto every word the CDC gives them about the safety of vaccines, I think it is incredibly important that we look at all of the information that truly exists and make our own educated decision. Many claim it is dangerous to question vaccines and I have been threatened on many occasions for writing about it, but it isn\u2019t going to take away the fact that people are being damaged by vaccines. That is a cold hard fact that every parent needs to know about before deciding to vaccinate their child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The truth is, there have been several court cases where families have been granted damage pay-outs due to what vaccines and their ingredients have done to their children. The cases are directly linked to autism and brain damage. <b>UPDATE:\u00a0<\/b><i>\u00a0I do feel that even if only a 51% majority in decision is needed, the cases are plaintiff vs. The Secretary of Human Services. If the statement that vaccines had no link to autism was completely factual, these people would not have a case against one entity that would surely have a lot of firepower around the issue. Regardless, their victory illustrates some important factors. In terms of the size of the cases, there are an estimated 5,000 additional cases still awaiting court dates. The reason why it\u2019s much harder and why a class action lawsuit is not possible is because the government inserted a law to protect vaccine makes after they were being forced to pay out billions in damages to families. It came a point where enough was enough when it came to their loss in profit so the gov\u2019t stepped in to assist, unfortunately this isn\u2019t favorable for the people but only business<\/i><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Below I have supplied three links to court cases.

Yes. While some studies exist to state that their is no link between vaccines and autism, I have found several that do show a link. Given the existence of these studies and their results, I think we need to truly examine whether or not vaccines are safe and if it makes sense for us to blindly follow what we are told to do when it comes to vaccines regardless of the dangers. I can already hear the comments that will come in from people stating the dangers of this post and that this is some conspiracy, but it is not. Realize that this is much more of a real and serious issue than many think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Below is what I have come across in terms of studies thanks to the tireless research of people out there who care about uncovering the truth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><i>Viral \/ Immune studies:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/12145534\"  target=\"_blank\"><b>Abnormal measles-mumps-rubella antibodies and CNS autoimmunity in\u00a0children with autism<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Autoimmunity to the central nervous system (CNS), especially to myelin basic\u00a0protein (MBP), may play a causal role in autism, a neurodevelopmental\u00a0disorder.
