We have pretty good evidence that this is due to historic under diagnosis, expanding the definition of Autism, and improved and increased testing parameters. In other words, the actual rate hasn’t increased, we just detect it more often than we used to.
This 100%. More diagnoses doesn’t necessarily mean an increase due to some nefarious cause - no matter how much the antivax loonies want that to be true.
For sake of argument: even if vaccines have some non-zero percent chance of triggering autism, their argument is basically that it is better to die than to get autism.
I do not believe that vaccines cause autism, this is purely a hypothetical.
Yeah they have a really fucked-up way of looking at autism. There are tons of autistic people out there living great lives and contributing a hell of a lot more to society than many of these antivax ghouls.
