How Do You Argue That Vaccines Cause Autism Spectrum Disorders?
• Do your research. This subject is very controversial and many people in the medical field do not believe that the theory of vaccines causing autism holds water, e.g. has enough evidence to be proved. • Find scientific articles that support your assertions. Be prepared to quote from them and to provide the medical qualifications of the people asserting that the vaccines are causing problems. Check the qualifications and training of any person writing in this field, as there is a lot of hearsay, especially in the online environment. Be aware that the understanding of what causes autism is still in progress and uncertain. There are many possible causes of autism, and simply arguing that vaccines are the prime or even one cause will need to take into consideration that it could be a combination of factors, or vaccines may have nothing to do with it all. • Be open-minded and keep learning. Read as much as you can to remain informed so that you can respond to people’s counter-points.
