I don't know much about it, but I do believe that deliberating symptoms of autism typically become apparent at a very early age, like age 2 or 3, not long after infants have received vaccinations for a host of diseases. Many parents claim that their children developed autism shortly after inoculations(tests) either following a vaccine series of mumps, or measles, or vaccines that contain mercury.

I'm not sure if anyone heard of this, but has anyone heard of the MMR vaccine? There's a disease called "rumbella" which is often referred to as the German Measles. MMR means mumps, measles, and rumbella. I remember reading about a study regarding this vaccine. The study showed that symptoms of autism emerged shortly after children received the MMR vaccine. How much research is being done with the medications that are being prescribed to patients? How much research is being done on some of the vaccines we're taking into our bodies? I know there's lot a lot of research being done, but how much is a lot?

Sweetheart is RUBELLA!!! Like BigRed said... According to Robbins "Pathologic Basis of Disease" 5th Ed. rubella disease is not good because it causes so many birth defects... I think there are animal models that can get this...

Most vaccines nowadays are DNA vaccines. Very few are still heat-killed live virus to boost ones immunity.

What is vaccination biologically? Injection of nucleic acids into the body? By microbes and viruses alone do this. Does that change who we are? Depends. Humans generally care several different viruses that does not cause them to get sick, all the time. Adenovirus and AAV, cytomegalovirus (until one has HIV), etc.

Generally, there are standard curves with LC50 based on the nonhuman primate studies and/or cell biology studies. That is how they decide the concentrations for these things.
