The hardest issue with determining the relationship between autism and vaccines is because of the age at which vaccines are given. Right around that time is when kids start to show signs of autism - retreating to themselves, not getting along with others, there are many, many more - and therefore, without a comprehensive and accurate study there can be no assumption. One child 'changing' at the time of vaccinations is not evidence for all children. Science requires repetition and replication of data to hold a standard of truth.
Sounds like some pilots need sippy cups for their coffee 🙂
I do not watch any of the housewives shows anymore, too ridiculous and they are not even hosewives!
Have a great night everyone!
I am putting you Anderson in the Ridiculous list for loving Housewives. I am bumping you down on my list.
Good Night Everyone! Sleep Well!
Good night Anderson and everyone.
Instead of spending all this time trying to discredit this guy....spend more time studying what actually does cause Autism. We need to know – we need to stop it!!!
Good Night. Great show!
Come on Anderson. All those "housewives" belong on the Ridiculist!!!
Good night everyone. Sleep well and stay safe. Great program tonight.
GoodnightAC360Team and fellow bloggers.
Good show tonight Anderson.
I'm liking the format of the show Anderson is doing as a fillin for Piers Morgan.
I remember when the polio vacine first came out and some were afraid of it. FDR had polio and so many children were in an "iron lung". What a great vacine that saved so many children from this desease.
@christine
How do you know there are no autistic children in the Amish community? Are you Amish? The Amish community is not subject to the same analysis as the general public. Maybe they simply keep them at home, out of the view of our prying eyes.
The Housewives leave me shaking my head at what they do.
Good night everyone, tonight's blog was great and I enjoyed everyone's comments. Thank you Anderson.

Anderson,
Have a great/good night, Tight sleep & rest,
See you tomorrow night! 🙂
Real housewife's "really" LOL everyone have a great evening. God Bless all
The only possible way to prove that Vaccines cannot cause Autism would be purposely not vaccinate a large portion of the population, and then compare the rates.That is being done, indirectly. Many people are opting out of the vaccines. What percentage of that group is getting the disease. Why is that not being asked? Is it because they are not getting autism? Thats my guess.
I watched the house wives once for about 15 minutes. One word comes to mind “Crazy”.
All of those housewives reality shows show such misery.
Good night Anderson, 360°Team, Jo Ann, Mike, Megan, Nancy, Nicole, Gloria, Casey, Starr, & Bloggers!
I wish more scientist would control the FDA. Lobbyist and incentive gifts should never be allowed to influence such an important agency!!
Nice quote on Bill Gates and vaccines. Gates declares, "First we got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent."
Meant to say without any problems
Camille can go away from the BH real housewive, she is too phoney
@Grace. Very true and it has to be a call of the parents. Part of that decision has to be the hundreds of millions, even billions that have been vaccinated with any problems whatsoever vs. the comparative few that have an illness that can't be unquestionable proven that vaccines caused it. No one I know said being parents would ever be easy 🙂
This Conrad Murray man... I have no words for his actions. I do understand that Michael Jackson was an addict but he (the "doctor") has a responsibility to care for his patient... not provide deadly drugs. So sad. I do believe that the jury will convict him.
I wish dr Gupta would note that even though it appears that the autism numbers are going up and we can't find a cause, it is likely that autism is just being recognized more now. It may have just been just as prevalent previously but just less recognized.
The experts that support vaccines being administered, for the FDA, WHO, etc. are receiving financial gain because they either work in part for them(pharm. co.), or have investments in the pharm co. and sometimes in specific drugs.
It is so difficult to trust anyone.
Their are no definitive answers for us parents.
Diseases can kill, but so can vaccines!
No one can dispute that.
I did not know that MJ's children were witnessing the attempts to save their father's life.
That could be profoundly damaging to these children emotionally.
Given the Doctor's behavior, cover up is the least of what happened.
Criminally and civily, this doctor will be prosecuted, or at least take a plea.
His behavior clearly was not honest.
God bless those children!
Good night Emily, Mike, Starr, Nicole, Nancy in Oregon, and Megan.
We all knew at the time of Michael Jackson's death that things "didn't add up". No surprises here.
In 2009 and 2010 we heard and now the story changes on who, what and where.
@Tamara, Bang on. That is perfect. I totally agree
thank you so much for keeping your senses about this thing
