If you want to see a much more extensive forum for those disagreeing with Rachel’s view, visit her article at her.meneutics (//blog.christianitytoday.com/women/2012/08/love-your-neighbor-get-your-va.html). There are 164 comments on that page and Rachel and the moderators there allowed plenty of people to voice contrary opinions. Some of them were downright mean, though, even accusing Rachel of spreading Satan’s lies.

For those of us who have read much of Rachel’s writing, your accusation that her opinions are not worth anything because she is not encouraging dissent are completely unfounded. We know differently. Rachel promotes thoughtful discussion and engages with those who have contrary opinions. But if people are coming to her web page and expecting that she will host accusatory and unfair criticisms, then those people are probably looking for something that no blogger should be expected to provide.

There has been lots of speculation about Einstein and other historical figures having high functioning autistic symptoms. But prior to the 1940s there was very little research into neurological ad psychological diseases because science was not advanced enough to be able to study them. So autism does predate modern vaccines. Although there were early vaccines that were used in the late 18th century. They were little more than intentionally exposing a person to the disease and hoping the didn’t die from the exposure.

Did the advent of autism occur after the introduction of vaccines, or did it predate vaccinations?

Thanks,
