Well I sure ain't no celebrity but I heard from my ex that our elder boy had become autistic... He had been vaccinated against measles - but his younger brother wasn't. Our elder boy almost died from measles while the younger one - who caught the disease from his brother - was asking for "second helpings" at the table...

If your ex was saying he became autistic from getting vaccinated against measles, your ex is a moron. That fallacy has been debunked up and down, back and forth for years. Only the stupidest of the stupid would still believe it. And that's a nice way of saying it.

The scientific method is one of mankind's greatest inventions. It requires provable, reproducible outcomes for a substantial "population" based on predictions ... called a theory. There is a difference between believing and knowing why something occurs. That's called science.
Anything that cannot stand up to those requirements isn't science. Simple. Homeopathy doesn't like science because it requires proof and large samples.
A friend has an autistic boy. The entire family is always looking for "why" - sometimes there isn't a reason. Sometimes dog works in strange ways. Fortunately, the friend is a true scientist and doesn't fall for all the pleads and claims based on "antidotal evidence."
I enjoy Mr. De Niro's acting, but I wouldn't want financial, medical, or computer advice from him. He shouldn't want medical advice from me.
BTW, vaccines are one of the top 10 human inventions of all time. Anyone seen what polio does? I have. It isn't pretty.

The MMR shot hasn't had thimerosal (what celebrity 'experts' claim causes autism) in it since 1992. Japan, Denmark and Norway never included it in their vaccinations and they have the same rates of autism as everywhere else.
On the other hand, some depression meds, and one fertility drug have been unequivocally linked to autism, through actual science. Age is also correlated...the chance of having an autistic child jumps almost 20% when the father is over 50, and the mother is over 40.
The real causes are being obscured, and in some cases, not fully investigated, because of celebrity 'health experts' pulling theories out of their behinds.

Its a film and who ever wants to show it should have the right to do so. Its probably not extremely violent or full of evil. Since when has the qualifications of a writer being a qualified Dr etc been a factor in making films? If every one is so smart then if its bunk they can decide for them selves. The main issue here is not if the film is full of lies, unlike Star Wars which is all true as you know, its the fact that some one has decided what you are not allowed to watch.

It is nice that the FDA is finally doing its' jobs and listing autism as a "adverse event" for these "vaccines."

Robert DeNiro is 72, his son 18. That means DeNiro was 53 when his son was conceived.
That's some pretty old sperm. Hmmm...AvaHaylee
Whenever VIP and science impact, hurtful symptoms may happen.
The most recent case happened a weekend ago when the Tribeca Film Festival pulled a narrative from its system by a ruined previous specialist whose examination into the association amongst immunizations and extreme introvertedness has been exposed. After celebration fellow benefactor Robert De Niro at first protected the film's consideration, Tribeca - confronting a hullabaloo from specialists and specialists - pulled it.
The film, "Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe," is coordinated by Andrew Wakefield, a previous British gastroenterologist who was stripped of his restorative permit in 2010. The British medicinal diary BMJ called Wakefield's study interfacing a mental imbalance and immunizations - which was withdrawn by the restorative diary The Lancet - an "involved misrepresentation."
Investigative examination has reliably found the MMR antibody (given to youngsters for measles, mumps and rubella) to be sheltered and have no connection to extreme introvertedness. Instances of measles, be that as it may, have expanded as of late, to a great extent tainting unvaccinated individuals.
De Niro recognized he by and by programed the film at the celebration, something he had never beforehand done. "My purpose in screening this film was to give a chance to discussion around an issue that is profoundly individual to me and my family," said De Niro, who, with his better half, Grace Highto. http://www.buyativanonlinenow.net
