Saigon Tiep Thi newspaper Wednesday quoted a study from the National Hospital of Pediatrics as saying that the number of children diagnosed with autism at the Hanoi-based hospital's Physiotherapy Department in 2007 was 50 times higher than in 2000.

there isn't one case that has been proven to be caused by vaccines.
But thats not true and you know it, so why are you telling lies hmmm?

Personaly I would always refuse the poison, however, it should be by CHOICE!!!
The reason they are removing choice is because it would become very evident that those who didn't take the poison live more healthy lives.

Even if you had intimate knowledge of the medical records of 1000 families, that's less than 1% of the population.
But your anecdote proves the OP wrong, or so you'll keep telling yourself. Spare us your inconclusive personal observations and discuss the topic, how 'bout it?

great post - so much substance, deep thoughts.
so because you don't "know of" a single case among all the people you know, all of this is BS. Gotcha
No, because there isn't one case that has been proven to be caused by vaccines. Ever think that maybe they are just getting better at diagnosing it??
Even all the major autism groups are saying this supposed link is bunk. So you know better than them?

You conveniently left out the important information from your sources.
Source 1:
According to Lan, Vietnam not only fails to compile figures about autism, but also to standardize services and programs to detect autism and intervene with behavioral treatments and medicines.
At some clinics, doctors with a lack of experience and knowledge have mistaken autism for intellectual disabilities, she said.
In Hanoi, despite the capital's advanced clinics, not many doctors are knowledgeable about the disorder and can give an accurate diagnosis, she cited.
A 2009-2010 study on disabled children in Asia found 76.5 percent of 254 surveyed parents of autistic children in Vietnam said their kids' disorder was not detected until they were more than two years old.
Moreover, even though hundreds of centers claiming to treat autism have been founded in Vietnam since 1995 -- aside from kindergartens that claim to specialize in teaching autistic children -- the techniques used are varied and unregulated.
In fact, they are using a total of 12 different autism assessment tools imported from other countries like Australia, Japan, and the U.S. without translating them into Vietnamese, said Dr. Le Van Tac, director of the Research Center of Special Education.
This led to different centers performing different tests and drawing different conclusions on the same children, worrying parents who want to get second opinions on the matter.
Poor training, unregulated practices, non-standardized techniques and a general ignorance of autism. There's not even any official statistics. Instead, they're going off UK numbers as an approximation. So here we have a country that is very ill-equipped to diagnose and treat autism, yet you're comparing unreliable numbers from 15 years ago with more realistic approximations today and claiming "It's through the roof!". Gee, I wonder why...
Your second source is an anti-vaxxer website. I, however, went straight to the original source:
Two-thirds of ASD cases in the overall sample were in the mainstream school population, undiagnosed and untreated. These findings suggest that rigorous screening and comprehensive population coverage are necessary to produce more accurate ASD prevalence estimates and underscore the need for better detection, assessment, and services.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
So again, another case of a country that is very ill-equipped to diagnose and treat autism. No wonder that the numbers are higher with proper analysis...
...and yet NONE of your sources even suggest vaccination. Another misleading, factually inaccurate, scaremongering anti-vaccination post from OP. Business as usual.

/in before this will validate all the nutty anti vaxxers.
Thanks though I'm not in particular anti vaccine, while acknowledge dicussions from friends, etc., that there may be a link with autism and vaccinations, this looks concerning. Looking more into it now.

Oh Bologna. I don't know of one case myself and everyone I know and their kids are vaccinated.
Well, I know of a few that have children who claim autism after the vaccines. So does that mean we verify this?

Like I pointed out in my thread .. to you , My Aunt has a Documented case of vaccine injury to my cousin, her son .
The case will be going to court .
but of course this won't make any difference to you ,because you read some corporate funded and backed research paper suggesting that their is no link .
Ever see that movie Equilibrium ?
I believe the title "Cleric" belongs to you .

This is inaccurate. Not at all true. Belongs in the HOAX bin.
