12 month vaccination regression

[Nightlight6]

I just wanted to know peoples opinions or experiences on the 12 month vaccinations really, my child has had the 6/12 and 16 week but now keep hearing stories of how the 12 month can lead to ASD or how it can “change” your baby which is scaring me I am literally clueless on this all and do not want to offend anyone at all just curious on peoples thoughts

Among other things, Andrew Wakefield subjected the children in his paper to horrible invasive tests on their intestines that they didn't need, in order to show a link with the MMR jab that didn't exist. And he then faked his data because it didn't show a connection between the vaccine and autism.

His motivation was that he wanted to sell a rival measles vaccine anyway.

Back in the 80s there was a different scare about the mumps jab and epilepsy (also not true). My ex boyfriend therefore didn't get the mumps vaccine and caught mumps as an adult. mumps caused orchitis (Google with care) and left him partially infertile. Everyone thinks these complications of "mild" diseases won't happen to them - but they might, and they nasty.

This!! It's absolute bollocks

Whilst vaccine injury is rare, it is no less devastating for the individuals who experience it and their family.

Whilst the vast vast majority of people had minimal ill effects from Covid vaccines, there were some deaths.

We should always acknowledge that there are some people who bear the costs personally of vaccination whilst the vast majority of us benefit.

It is especially hard because it can take quite a lot of time before it is acknowledged as the cause.

It’s been TWENTY SEVEN FUCKING YEARS.

How are people still giving this shite any thought?

Total nonsense!

The 12 month vaccines were the easiest for us. No side effects at all. One of the earlier ones caused bad diarrhoea for a week or two but we were still glad to have had them as the actual disease could be much worse.

Hmmm, unfortunately I don't think we'll ever get any research conclusively proving no link whatsoever between vaccines and encephalitis, because it's been acknowledged that this is a tiny potential risk, particularly in people with compromised immunity. But large-scale studies have consistently disproven any greater risk (see e.g. here and here). The NHS link you shared says "this is very rare and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risk of encephalitis."

It's the nature of medical information that they must include all known potential risks, however small.

The risk of being hit by a car while crossing the road is about 1 in 200,000, compared with a <1 in 1 million risk of encephalitis being caused by a vaccine.

As the parent of a severely disabled child who did regress I go over and over what could have caused it and if it could have been prevented
I totally understand you replaying scenarios endlessly and wrestling with feelings of guilt, worry, and helplessness, just as you would if your child had been hit by a car. But I hope you can accept that you did the best you could for your child (vaccination is the most sensible way to protect them against diseases that cause encephalitis), and that the causes of autism are complex and remain poorly understood. Hopefully one day research will find a way forward that benefits your child 🤗💗
