Vaccines are needed and do not cause Autism

Wow. I had hoped you would actually use an argument rather than post an article that cites books many of which are horribly rated, haven't been rated, or are written by authors who have been shown to be wrong here time and time again. It's actually disappointing you used such debunked and proven to be wrong sources. The ingredients in vaccines have not been show to be related to autism what so ever. Studies have shown this over and over again. All of those quotes from those books that you posted basically do not assert anything they just posit and wonder about if maybe vaccines could cause autism. They have no proof behind them and nothing to back them up. "Myth: The measles vaccine causes autism. Fact: "There's absolutely no scientific evidence to support this claim. There is, however, a slew of research that shows the complete opposite: that vaccines do not cause autism," says Richard Rupp, M.D., director of the office of vaccine clinical trials at the Sealy Center for Vaccine Development at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. This myth persists because of a fraudulent study in which the lead researcher, a British doctor who has since lost his medical license, lied about finding a connection between the measles vaccine and autism. It doesn't help that the more noticeable signs of autism tend to appear around the 12-month mark, after a child gets a series of vaccines. "Often, signs of the disorder were present when the baby was younger. It's just that autism becomes easier to detect when a child starts missing milestones," says Dr. Rupp. Studies show that both vaccinated and unvaccinated children are equally at risk for autism." "Myth: Vaccines contain mercury, and that's bad. Fact: Vaccines used to contain thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, but is a different compound than mercury. More important, it hasn't been used in childhood vaccines since 2001, when the FDA opted to remove it even though studies show it's safe. Thimerosal's purpose was to keep bacteria from growing in multidose vaccine solutions. Vaccines that were once preserved with thimerosal are now put into single-dose vials or syringes that aren't susceptible to bacterial contamination." https://www.google.com... "Vaccine ingredients do not cause autism. One vaccine ingredient that has been studied specifically is thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used to prevent contamination of multidose vials of vaccines. Research shows that thimerosal does not cause ASD. In fact, a 2004 scientific review by the IOM concluded that "the evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship between thimerosal""containing vaccines and autism." Since 2003, there have been nine CDC-funded or conducted studies[PDF - 357 KB] that have found no link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and ASD, as well as no link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and ASD in children. Between 1999 and 2001, thimerosal was removed or reduced to trace amounts in all childhood vaccines except for some flu vaccines. This was done as part of a broader national effort to reduce all types of mercury exposure in children before studies were conducted that determined that thimerosal was not harmful. It was done as a precaution. Currently, the only childhood vaccines that contain thimerosal are flu vaccines packaged in multidose vials. Thimerosal-free alternatives are also available for flu vaccine. For more information, see the Timeline for Thimerosal in Vaccines. Besides thimerosal, some people have had concerns about other vaccine ingredients in relation to ASD as well. However, no links have been found between any vaccine ingredients and ASD." https://www.cdc.gov... These are facts. You have provided exactly what I said, overwhelming evidence contrary to vaccines being harmful or causing autism. ,
