When I was a kid, 1 in 50,000 kids was Autistic, today it is 1 in 50. There is a group of people that believe that the rise in Autism is the result of vaccinations. That is complete and utter non-sense; but, that is not the worst part. Why would anyone want their kid to die or be bed ridden for life from Polio when it had been completely eradicated rather than be Autistic?
Do you know what small pox does? In some outbreaks of small pox as many as 35% of those infected died. The scars it left on survivors is part of the reason the wealthy in the 1700's wore makeup, including the men. It was to hide the scars.
Vaccines did not cause autism or the numbers would have been 1 in 50 in the 60s. If the rise in autism rates has increased for any reason it is most likely environmental or in the food. We already know that all the chemicals that are blasted into our food chain, such as hormones given to animals, has caused an increase in female hormones in boys and for more and more young men to have more female type breasts.
I didn't plan on writing about the outbreak of Measles apparently contacted from kids who visited Disneyland. I read about how conservatives were saying that people shouldn't feel a need to vaccinate their children. I also read about how some others were saying that vaccination should be mandatory. Some "Libertarians" have claimed they have the right to not vaccinate their children and I agree; but, society has the right to refuse to interact with them or allow them to be around those who do not wish to see these diseases come back.
Leprosy was a horrible disease. We don't have a vaccine for it; but, we can cure it. It is also contagious. Would you want untreated lepers to walk about you freely because they refused to take the cure? There have been people with AIDS that willingly and knowingly gave it to others, should they be allowed to continue spreading the disease to people who didn't know they were at risk? Should people with highly infectious and potential life threatening diseases be allowed to make your meals at restaurants without your knowing?
Recently Rand Paul, a potential Presidential candidate, stated that he had heard of cases where someone was vaccinated and that it cause "profound mental disorders", it also turned out that Mr. Paul belongs to a group of doctors who believe that vaccines cause Autism. So what "profound mental disorders" do you think he meant? What should his presidential slogan be, "better dead or bedridden for life than autistic"? At least Autism is not contagious, the diseases that I wrote about are. I should also point out that Mr. Paul said that he had been vaccinated.
Republican Chris Christie had suggested that parents should have the right to decide if their kids were vaccinated and then later back peddled saying that they should get their kids vaccinated. Him and his kids are all vaccinated according to his statements. This is the same man that had a women confined because she had been around people with Ebola even though she didn't have it. He is a hypocritical moron and has indicated he wants to run for President too.
