Anytime you see a drug advertised on tv they usually list a bunch of potential harmful side effects like this drug cures or treats this but there is risk you can get bleeding, cancer or other health complications and you shouldn't take this drug if you have these condition or you take these medications. If you look on the back of aspirin, nyqil and other medicine there is potential harmful side effects. There is even potential harmful side effects if you take too many vitamins. So someone is lying when they say vaccines are perfectly safe. Whether or not autism is one of those side effects or that the people who got autism already had it or it was preexisting conditions which gave them autism I do not know. Maybe there are minute risks of autism but there is a greater good of getting people vaccinate that is the better result.
Vaccines do not cause autism. Period. There is absolutely no evidence linking the two.
The entire idea comes from a single study which was proven to be fraud. The "scientist" was trying to scare people off the MMR vaccine so he could sell more doses of a vaccine he had a patent on. So he fabricated data and suggested that the "mercury" in the vaccine caused autism.
1) It's not mercury. It's thimerosol.
2) The data was fabricated, there's no correlation with autism
3) We don't even use it anymore
