Polio was eradicated in the US by vaccines.
Vaccines DO NOT cause autism.
There is no study or evidence that even hints otherwise.
Attend;
At the height of the polio epidemic in 1952, nearly 60,000 cases with more than 3,000 deaths were reported in the United States alone.
With me so far?
With widespread vaccination in the mid-1950's, wild-type polio (polio occurring through natural infection) was *ELIMINATED* from the United States by 1979 and the Western hemisphere by 1991.
Are you still with me? Do you understand what I've said so far?
1: Before 1955, the Polio virus was responsible for thousands of Iron-lung infections and a great many deaths.
2: The version of Polio that was *Naturally Occurring* in society was known as "Wild-Type Polio", and was STOPPED COLD BY VACCINES.
Moving on;
POLIO IS A VIRAL DISEASE
Let's stop here for a moment...do you understand the difference between VIRAL and BACTERIAL? It's important.
Bacteria are complex, single-celled microorganisms, usually a few micrometers long, that exist in enormous groups, and can live virtually anywhere; in soil, water, oceans, animals and humans. A gram of soil typically contains about 40 million bacterial cells, a drop of fresh water contains about a million.
Bacteria can reproduce on their own, and can survive in different environments, including extreme heat and cold, radioactive waste, as well as the human body.
Most bacteria are harmless, and some actually help by digesting food, destroying disease-causing microbes, fighting cancer cells, and providing essential nutrients. Fewer than 1% of bacteria cause diseases in people. Fossilized records show that bacteria have existed for at least 3 billion years
So - that's the story behind bacteria. But what about viruses?
Unlike bacteria, viruses can't survive without a host. They can only reproduce by attaching themselves to cells. In most cases, they reprogram the cells to make new viruses until the cells burst and die. In other cases, they turn normal cells into malignant or cancerous cells.
Also unlike bacteria, most viruses DO cause disease, and they're quite specific about the cells they attack. Without a host organism, a virus will die.
Polio is a viral illness.
In *about* 95% of cases, Polio actually produces no symptoms at all - this is why it's often referred to as "asymptomatic polio".
In the 4% to 8% of cases in which there are symptoms (called symptomatic polio), the illness appears in three forms:
1: A mild form called abortive polio (most people with this type may not even suspect they have it because their sickness is limited to mild flu-like symptoms such as mild upper respiratory infection, diarrhea, fever, sore throat, and a general feeling of being ill)
2: A more serious form associated with aseptic meningitis called nonparalytic polio (1%-5% show neurological symptoms such as sensitivity to light and neck stiffness)
3: A severe, debilitating form called paralytic polio (this occurs in 0.1%-2% of cases)
People who have abortive polio (non-paralytic polio) usually make a full recovery. However, paralytic polio, as its name implies, causes muscle paralysis — and can even result in death.
In paralytic polio, the virus leaves the intestinal tract and enters the bloodstream, attacking the nerves (in abortive or asymptomatic polio, the virus usually doesn't get past the intestinal tract). The virus may affect the nerves governing the muscles in the limbs and the muscles necessary for breathing, causing respiratory difficulty and paralysis of the arms and legs.
So...now that we've got THAT out of the way...
There is no evidence, no science, and no research that points to vaccines having any link - NONE WHATSOEVER - with autism.
None.
Anyone who tries to produce such is doomed to be found out as a liar, because there exists no study that ever found such a link.
Every "study" (so-called) linking vaccines to autism has been either shown to be a false flag, or debunked as scientifically uneducated "study groups" that publish their opinions without any basis in factual findings.
All anti-vaxxer arguments stem from the defrocked Andrew Wakefield - who was admitted to be in the pay of a pharmaceutical company in order to shill for a made-up cure to a made-up disease. Wakefield was exposed, admitted under oath that he lied and falsified his data, and was stripped of his license to practice medicine forever.
Andrew Wakefield is literally the false prophet of the anti-vaxxer movement, and he as much admits to it as well...and yet, people are still following him right off the fucking cliff.
You don't have to take MY word for this: One hour of research will lead you to the same findings, the same research, the EXACT same results.
But you have to do the work.
