Of course there is.
What's your point? That aluminum doesn't accumulate unless it's injected? That's not true.

1) because of standardised testing and increased awareness of autism.
2) because north Korea are totally a legitimate source.
But let's not let the facts get in the way of a good scaremongering.
The incidence of all autistic spectrum disorders, and of autism, continued to rise after MMR vaccine was discontinued. The incidence of autism was higher in children born after 1992 who were not vaccinated with MMR than in children born before 1992 who were vaccinated. The incidence of autism associated with regression was the same during the use of MMR and after it was discontinued.

This recent push to force all types of mystery solutions into our bodies on the pretense that it is best for us and the entire community is fairly recent. We didn't get all those shots when I was a child and we turned out darn well considering the only antibacterials we had back then was soap and water, and it was well water and spring water.
I don't know when or where you were a child, but childhood mortality in the US has been declining for at least the last century. So no matter how well your generation turned out, later generations have turned out even better (Achievements in Public Health, 1900-1999). The ones that come after us will be even better yet.
Of course we only had one common antibiotic at that time. If we got an infection our own bodies couldn't handle. Penicillin worked just fine, and few people were allergic to it back then.
Even assuming penicillin worked against every bacteria out there, it does not work for viruses (or prions or, I assume, fungi). So no, penicillin was not the panacea you think it was.

But the criteria for diagnosis in the autism spectrum have remained the same for the past 30 years. Got it.
BTW, this thread is about the MMR vaccine and the supposed "trashing" of data.
Not sure what your point is or why you claim the study "singled out" black male children. It didn't.
True, but the CDC is an American association, and the study singled out black male children, not Japanese ones.
I want to be absolutely clear that I believe vaccines have saved and continue to save countless lives. I would never suggest that any parent avoid vaccinating children of any race. Vaccines prevent serious diseases, and the risks associated with their administration are vastly outweighed by their individual and societal benefits.
Access to the information on the birth certificates allowed researchers to assess more complete information on race as well as other important characteristics, including possible risk factors for autism such as the child’s birth weight, mother’s age, and education. This information was not available for the children without birth certificates; hence CDC study did not present data by race on black, white, or other race children from the whole study sample. It presented the results on black and white/other race children from the group with birth certificates.

I don't think this generation is better. This generation of children have the most cases of allegies, autoimmune diseases, mental problems, prescription drugs. So they don't get what are at this point some diseases that will most likely not kill them. The trade-off seems to be a lifetime of chronic illness.

No, my point is that injected aluminum will necessarily bypass ALL the body's usual digestive filters, which are many, and this makes it necessarily a lot more dangerous.
n Friday, February 22, HHS conceded that this child's complex partial seizure disorder was also caused by her vaccines. Now we the taxpayers will award this family compensation to finance her seizure medication. Surely ALL decent people can agree that is a good thing.
By the way, it''s worth noting that her seizures did not begin until six years after the date of vaccination, yet the government acknowledges they were, indeed, linked to the immunizations of July, 2000, - DK
False. Along with the other claims made by your source. Geez. Did you or the blogger actually read the decision?
February 22, HHS conceded that this child's complex partial seizure disorder was also caused by her vaccines.
DVIC has concluded that CHILD's complex partial seizure disorder, with an onset of almost six years after her July 19, 2000 vaccinations, is not related to a vaccine-injury.
aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder, which predisposed her to deficits in cellular energy metabolism, and manifested as a regressive encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum disorder.
We know that sometimes children with mitochondrial diseases seem to be developing as they should, but around toddler or preschool age, they regress. The disease was there all the time, but something happens that "sets it off". This could be something like malnutrition, an illness such as flu, a high fever, dehydration, or it could be something else.
In sum, DVIC has concluded that the facts of this case meet the statutory criteria for demonstrating that the vaccinations CHILD received on July 19, 2000, significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder, which predisposed her to deficits in cellular energy metabolism, and manifested as a regressive encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum disorder. Therefore, respondent recommends that compensation be awarded to petitioners in accordance with 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-11(c)(1)(C)(ii).
Did you read the decision?
Why do you say that? Do you have some reason to think that the mitochondrial disorder she carried did not predispose her to deficits in cellular energy metabolism? Do you have some reason to think that she would have grown up without that happening? As pointed out, a fever can aggravate the condition. What if she got sick with a fever if she didn't have the vaccine? Is there a high probability she would have been fine?
So what if there was an underlying mitochondrial disorder, if this child didn't have the vaccine there is a high probability that they would not be autistic,

Did the vaccine aggravate her existing condition? According to statutory (legal) criteria yes. That is why the award was made. Does that mean the vaccine caused autism? No.
