Re: The percentages are too big to be ignored
"The segment of children with "regressive autism", the form where children develop normally for a period of time then lose skills and sink into autism, most commonly at 18-24 months of age, is increasing at a phenomenal rate....including in the pat week four cases of "autistic regression" developing in four-year-old children after their MMR and DPT vaccinations. In the past this was unheard of." from Autism and

"Autism, a an entity was unknown before the early 1940's when it simply appeared in small numbers. A steep increase in it's prevalence was noted in the United States starting in the late '70's and in the United Kingdom after 1988 following the extensive use of the MMR vaccine in both countries.
The vaccine authorities do not know what causes Autism but they are certain tht the administration of the MMR vaccine is not responsible...
Bernard Rimland, PhD., founder fo the Autism Society of America and Founder/President of the Autusm Research Institute disagrees:
"Late onset autism (starting in the 2nd year) was almost unheard of in the
'50's, '60's and '70's. Today such cases outnumber early onset cases 5 to 1"
There have been alot of changes over the last 40 years, but they have been gradual changes. The increase in regessive autism has not been gradual. It has been sharp. And there is a definite corrolation between the onset of regressive autism and the widespread use of the MMR vaccine. Coincidence? Maybe. But there is more and more evidence that says otherwise.
And by the way, I never intended to say that autism is like asbestos. Just simply that we found alternatives to asbestos because it is harmful and we should likewise find alternatives to harmful vaccinations.
