        I know several cases were vaccines lead to autism. Your response now might be that the probability is very low but if your kid and/or partner is among that low percentage then it doesn't matter how low the chances were. Also due to ethical concerns almost no group studies...

        Are you mad? There was 1 paper in the lancet which has been now withdrawn and proven largely false claiming they cause autism. And THOUSANDS proving they definitely do not.

        I have autism and signs were present since infancy. IE before vaccinations. Had symptoms presented post vaccine. Even on my worst days I'd take autism over being prevebtably crippled, disfigured, chronically ill, or dead.

        Your body produces and metabolises more formaldehyde in a day than any vaccine contains. It's a natural byproduct of metabolism. As for arsenic, it is found in no vaccines whatsoever.

        Dear, Doc... You think injecting it - along with all the other crap included - into One's body in a way the body has NO defense for is good? Really? Heh. Just because We can metabolize it through natural encounters does NOT = safe through an unnatural one. #JustSaying.

        1) There is no other "crap" in there. Every single ingredient has a purpose and has been demonstrated to be safe. 2) Injecting a tiny amount of formaldehyde has no impact on the body whatsoever. It is metabolised from the injection site within minutes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23583892/ …

        It has not been demonstrated to be safe. Why do you suggest the very basic golden standard within science and studies on medical products is ignored when it comes to studies in vaccine safety and efficiency? You know, evidence based studies with randomized placebo control group?
