Funny, I was just reading that not only do unvaccinated Amish folks not seem to have autism
they are also very much non allergenic too.

Hmmm, you sure about that? Because Amish people DO get vaccinated, as was pointed out several times in that thread.
It's truly AMAZING to me that one person's post on a thread can be taken as fact, even when it is EASILY disproven.

Yeah, I know what the natural immune system does.
I don't have to know how to make a car to know that putting foreign substances into the gas tank can blow the engine.
Cars are made fuel deficient.
Quantity is nothing if there isn't quality. Millions of people in the US languish for their entire lives at high skilled nursing centers because they've been damaged by contaminated vaccines, where they're fed more contaminated drugs to keep them minimally alive and functioning ~ at great expense, I might add. Millions of others suffer with a plethora of "new" diseases and conditions that have only cropped up since vaccinations became mandatory and proliferated from three or four jabs to dozens, including combined chemicals. Medical science, to date, has not or will not explain the cause of these new chronic and debilitative autoimmune diseases and conditions, many of which have no treatment besides ~ you got it ~ more drugs.
The reason you have to say "how many millions have been saved?" is because you have no idea of the answer.

Didn't like that part, didja? No argument possible, its an undeniable fact.
Life expectancy is up, at least in part, due to the fact that more people are doing sedentary work, 15% more now than in 1960. There is very little risk of accidental death while sitting at a computer all day long, unlike farm and logging accidents. etc., which happened regularly back in the 60's. And school children today are prohibited from playing any dangerous games, like tag, for the love of pete. So how could anybody possibly get hurt and die? (Well, unless they drive without disk brakes, of course , no one would have a car accident otherwise. There are so many variables that account for differences in lifespan at any point in time that we could spend from now until eternity debating them. No thanks.
But if mass vaccination is so good, why must parents be lied to, threatened, co-opted and forced to have their children vaccinated?

Ok so I have found a little more out about this study. This is not recent. It comes from 2008 and is apparently actually the work of Andrew Wakefield. For those who don't know Wakefield he was a major advocate of the autism-vaccine link and published a paper in 1998 supporting the claim. Since that time Wakefield's research has been found to be primarily made-up. In February 2008 he had his medical license revoked and in 2010 30 different charges related to his work were proven among which included a dozen charges related to the abuse of developmentally challenged children. Shortly before his license was revoked he submitted a paper to the journal NeuroToxicology but the paper was not published after he was exposed. This paper was then pretty much broken up into three different papers which his proteges attempted to have published. This paper is one of them. In fact if you check out the abstract it even has a special thanks section for Wakeman. I'll see if I can turn up a peer-reviewed rebuttal to this paper but in the mean time here is a response from Scienceblogs.
Too much vaccine/autism monkey business for me to be involved in--but apparently not Laura Hewitson

That's actually what Dr. Wakefield was working on in his original research with autistic children, the relationship between autism and gastrointestinal issues.

Oh cool, so they gave autism to poor innocent monkeys.

Firstly, be wary as the researcher who produced this is hardly a disinterested part. She is personally suing a vaccine company, she has filed a claim with the vaccine court on behalf of her child.

Laura Hewitson has left the University of Pittsburgh
A breakdown of the paper is here.

A quick read shows that only a few of the subject monkeys got an MRI, and that the amygdala size can change that way in unvaccinated monkeys. I can't swear to it, but it looks like she just left out any data that didn't fit.
More bad science from Wakefield et al.
And you do get both vaccinated and autistic Amish.
