a friend’s son developed autism and he says that it was due to booster shots given as an infant, is this true?

no thats not true. theres no basis for that

I’m a single father of a beautiful son. I know in my heart that the vacine they gave my son poisoned him. And he will be Autistic for the rest of his life,because pharmacuticals just want to make a buck.
I wonder how many of those execs. can sleep at nite.
thank you Phillp
Although once considered rare, during the last two decades the chance of a child being diagnosed with autism has skyrocketed from one in 10,000 to one in 150. In California, full-syndrome autism now is the No. 1 disability among children and more prevalent than childhood cancer, diabetes and Down’s syndrome. It is estimated that within the next four years autism cases in the Golden State will exceed the total number of cases of both cerebral palsy and epilepsy. To get a better idea of how quickly the epidemic is spreading one need only consider that in 1987 there were 2,778 persons with autism in California. By 2002 the number had increased to 20,377, and in 2002 3,575 new cases had been added to the rolls, far exceeding the total number of cases in the state 15 years earlier.
For years there has been a debate about the cause or causes of autism, but the vast majority of finger-pointing has been directed at childhood vaccines as the culprit. And considering what is put into the vaccines injected into hours-old infants, it is easy to understand why they are at the top of the list of suspects: formaldehyde (used in embalming), thimerosal (nearly 50 percent mercury), aluminum phosphate (toxic and carcinogenic), antibiotics, phenols (corrosive to skin and toxic), aluminum salts (corrosive to tissue and neurotoxic), methanol (toxic), isopropyl (toxic), 2-pheoxyethanol (toxic), live viruses and a host of unknown components considered off-limits as trade secrets. These are just part of the vaccine mixture.
For those who believe there are elements in vaccines that may be responsible for the increased number of autism cases and other neurological disorders, thimerosal currently is at the top of the list of possible culprits being investigated.
Despite official insistence that the evidence linking injected thimerosal to autism is inconclusive, the data suggest otherwise. In 1999 the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine, or IOM, must have thought there was something seriously wrong when it supported removal of thimerosal from vaccines, stating that it was “a prudent measure in support of the public goal to reduce mercury exposure of infants and children as much as possible.” The IOM further urged that “full consideration be given to removing thimerosal from any biological product to which infants, children and pregnant women are exposed.”
A recently published study in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons by Mark Geier, M.D., Ph.D., and president of the Genetic Centers of America and his son, David Geier, president of Medcon Inc. and a consultant on vaccine cases, was titled “Thimerosal in Childhood Vaccines, Neurodevelopment Disorders and Heart Disease in the United States.” It presents strong epidemiological evidence for a link between neurodevelopmental disorders and mercury exposure from thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines.
Specifically, the authors evaluated the doses of mercury that children received as part of their immunization schedule, then compared these doses with federal safety guidelines. Furthermore, to compare the effects of thimerosal in vaccine recipients, the incident rates of neurodevelopmental disorders and heart disease reported to the government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System were analyzed. The results were dramatic. The report revealed that “U.S. infants are exposed to mercury levels from their childhood-immunization schedule that far exceed the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] and FDA [Food and Drug Administration]-established maximum permissible levels for the daily oral ingestion of methyl mercury.”
The authors concluded that “in light of voluminous literature supporting the biologic mechanisms for mercury-induced adverse reactions, the presence of amounts of mercury in thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines exceeding federal safety guidelines for the oral ingestion of mercury and previous epidemiological studies showing adverse reactions to such vaccines, a causal relationship between thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines and neurodevelopment disorders and heart disease appears to be confirmed.”
It is no secret among government and health officials that mercury is toxic and causes serious adverse reactions. In July 1999 the American Academy of Pediatrics and the U.S. Public Health Service issued a joint statement calling for the removal of thimerosal from vaccines. Five years after the joint statement, however, it still is difficult for parents and physicians to be sure that the pharmaceutical companies have indeed removed the toxic substance from their vaccines.
According to Mark Geier, “The 2003 Physicians’ Desk Reference, or PDR,

Here’s a good website to start with. http://www.autism.com/ Click on “Triggers of Autism” on the left side of the web page.
Here is the form that you sign in California to exempt your child from the vaccine requirements for school and daycare. http://www.cdph.ca.gov/pubsforms/forms/CtrldForms/pm286b.pdf You sign the back of the form. Sometimes schools or daycares claim to not have this form, or often they copy only the front, so the exemption information isn’t provided. In that case, you can print it, double sided, on light blue paper, and hand it in.

Yes, you can refuse to vaccinate in every state but one, I think Mississippi. There you have to get a doctor’s note. You just contact your local state health department and get a form, fill it out and take it to the school instead of the shot record. I do all the time.
Yes, vaccines are definitely linked to autism, and you can google all kinds of websites about it that tell you where to find the official scientific research that shows this. Dr. Andrew Moulden has the best theory on it currently. It’s a complicated picture though. It appears that vaccines increase your odds at getting autism, but some still get it without vaccines if the mom has been vaccinated or if they have siblings who have been vaccinated. There are also books on it as well, like, “Evidence of Harm”.
After researching vaccines myself, I was horrified by just what I read on the CDC website about them. Thus, we no longer vaccinate.

There has never been irrefutable proof that vaccines are linked to autism. There is still a major controversy over this. My son is autistic, but I never noticed any change after vaccines. It is possible that vaccines have either caused autism, or made it worse but there are other possible causes as well. Pollution and genetics have also been looked at as possible reasons. Genetics definitely play a part since they have studied so many families with several autistic children in the same family.

Most scientists refute that idea. The reason for people thinking that vaccines cause autism is mainly because mercury poisoning can have a slight resemblance to autism. So if someone has mercury poisoning that is misdiagnosed as autism, then treatment for mercury poisoning can give the illusion that it “cured” autism. And some preservatives in vaccines contain mercury…So the vaccines were blamed. But in reality it is just not autism. It is just mercury poisoning.
