We are not talking about medicines, we are talking about some that is frequently ingested/exposed to people. Things like plastics, additives, pesticides, EM signal. These are novel chemicals/radiation and are potentially slow toxins and showing a causal link from population studies is near impossible.

....nnno?

We are primarily talking about Tylenol. Paracetamol. Acetaminophen.

Perhaps you need to be reminded of the whole sentence you quoted from my post, rather than just the first subclause?

> Until there are reputable studies that can actually show something resembling a causal link, getting angry at the medical community, pharmaceutical manufacturers, or vaccine makes for saying they are not responsible is pointless and counterproductive.

The post I was replying to originally was specifically saying that the medical community needed to be accepting blame for causing autism.

This is bullshit. We do not know what causes autism. We certainly do not have any compelling evidence that anything the medical community is doing is causing autism.

		We don't even know that autism is something that's caused. When sampling an integer, there's some probability you'll get a prime; perhaps when making a human, there's just some inherent probability you'll get an autistic person. (Afaik, we don't even know enough to put a likelihood on this class of theories.)

		>Perhaps you need to be reminded of the whole sentence you quoted from my post, rather than just the first subclause? My mistake, I did not quote your original comment correctly.: I meant to quote: >Could it perhaps be related to the increases in various kinds of air pollution? Water pollution? Pesticides or herbicides in our foods? Or even the dramatic increase in EM signals being broadcast everywhere? >This is bullshit. We do not know what causes autism. We certainly do not have any compelling evidence that anything the medical community is doing is causing autism. I would not put it past them. Harmful until proven otherwise is the approach I would take with most drugs/vaccines in the market out there, today. There is no third party testing for any drug/vaccine today - so pharma is free to manipulate the stats, and they have done it in the past.
