Info on the prevalence of children acquiring disabilities after immunisations?

No, there is none that can absolutely prove vaccination and autism damage, but likewise, there is no absolute proof (despite what some people say) that they don't either. This just came out recently...

gah that's it Yeddi......knew I had seen something on this in the last 24hours....

The other problem with finding info like this is that if there are any incidences of injury/disability etc, they are rarely attributed to the vaccine. You might have some luck on the AVN website too.

How do you prove a negative?

How do you prove a negative?

I don't really get your question. You can prove that an event doesn't have a certain effect as well as what effects it does have.

I would assume you would do it by proving that the instances of autism or disabilities that occur directly after immunisation are caused by something else, and it's a coincidence that the child was vaccinated recently.

This is my problem too Lilias, I've done research on it, but everywhere you turn people are focussing more on discrediting other researchers than they are on finding out the truth. At the absolute maximum, I would delay and separate my childs vaccinations, because I'm not 100% comfortable with not vaccinating them at all. But I want to be comfortable with it, lol.

You would have to show the cause of autism in every child, and even then it wouldn't prove that vaccination does not cause autism, just that in the cases you have examined there are other triggers that could have resulted in the autism.

How to prove that vaccines do not cause autism? Showing that autism may be caused by all these other things doesn't prove that autism can not be caused by vaccination. You may be able to say that there is no evidence of a link between the two, but this still doesn't prove that there is no link.

Ah, that's actually the point I was trying to make, you're saying the same thing just in a different way. My point is that people have done A study on the MMR and then go on to say because they didn't find any link in this one study (that tests vaccinated kids against other vaccinated kids btw) this proves autism isn't caused by vaccination. I actually do believe autism is strongly tied to vaccination and toxic load, so it's not one particular ingredient, or vaccine but is how the child excretes and processes that vaccine and they get autism when they reach the limit where their bodies can't keep up and so any toxins they're exposed to cause damage, seeing vaccines are now given before the cyp450 enzyme system even starts producing the enzymes responsible for processing foreign chemicals the increase in autism doesn't surprise me. I also think the increase in allergies, asthma and diabetes are also strongly connected.
