You should publish the results of your findings about your nephew.
Definately not a coincidence. The science world needs to know the truth.

It's too bad she's already pregnant because if kids weren't involved that level of crazy would be grounds for divorce

Absolutely correct

You would really divorce your wife if she was against vaccinating?
indocoug

Absolutely I would. It would be an indication that she is unintelligent and unreasonable and I wouldn't want to stay

Just stop. There is ZERO evidence that vaccines cause autism, or trigger autism, or have ANYTHING to do with autism

Study after study has failed to show any causal link between vaccinations and autism.

There is a steo ger correlation with vaccinees and car accidents.

My thought as well. I think I might try this if my wife stopped vaccinating

True story. We were directly impacted by anti-vax cousins who contracted measles.

I think a big part is acknowledging and validating their concerns. There ARE adverse side effects to vaccinations.

Who is saying “vaccine are safe, no risks”?

Exactly.

Hopefully nobody. But that is often the perception people who are opposed to vaccines have.
durandal

True, however it is very clear at this point autism is not one of those risks

There's a LOT we still don't know about autism.

True. But I think if you come out swinging that bat, the discussion will be over pretty shortly.

It's a tough issue because it involves individual freedom vs. greater good

It’s not individual freedom or “choosing for themselves” when it’s the baby/kid

Throw parental rights on the pile of issues. It's a tough problem for sure.
