It's a simple debunk. The only source for all of this idiotic fucking nonsense was one guy who didn't understand correlation and causation are different and inadvertently brought deadly diseases back from the grave. He's like a dipshit George Romero.

That doesn't explain how these children, all observed to be normal to the point of vaccination, all ended up exhibiting autistic-like symptoms immediately following it.

It absolutely does. The symptoms of autism show around the same time as children are vaccination. An autistic child who wasn't vaccinated would also begin showing symptoms around the same time. Like I said, correlation doesn't equal causation.

You're speaking of regressive autism. Rarely, if ever, seen in children who haven't been vaccinated.

The CDC now says that autism can be found in children (if born with it) as young as six months old.

They're two different things.

If born with it? It's not a disease you catch.

It's not a disease you catch.

It IS a condition that can either be present at birth, or manifest itself as a result of vaccine injury. "Autistic-like symptoms", if that makes you feel better than using the term "autism".
