Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Klin Padiatr. 1976 Mar;188(2):172-80. [Autistic syndrome (Kanner) and vaccination against smallpox (author's transl)] [Article in German] Eggers C. 3-4 weeks following an otherwise uncomplicated first vaccination against smallpox a boy, then aged 15 months and last seen at the age of 5 1/2 years, gradually developed a complete Kanner syndrome. The question whether vaccination and early infantile autism might be connected is being discussed. A causal relationship is considered extremely unlikely. But vaccination is recognized as having a starter function for the onset of autism. PMID: 944354 P.s. Aren’t US military routinely vaccinated with this? What about UK ones, anyone know?

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi Natasa Smallpox vaccination (probably the most successful vaccination programme ever as it eradictaed the disease!) was stopped in the UK about the mid 70's and towards the end of the 70's smallpox was considered eradicated. There are issues around it, as we still have some virus samples and some vaccine stockpiles due to bio-terrorism and some countries who we dont know about their activities on this fornt (eg North Korea are still considered a threat). I think smallpox vaccination in the USA went on later than this but I am not sure when it stopped. The US Military personnel themselves deployed to high risk ares eg The Middle East still use smallpox and anthrax vaccine (I believe!) Because it was a live virus it was more prone to cause complications to people with dodgy immune systems and of course neurological complications. In those days there were lots of reports of adverse vaccination reactions in the scientific literature (scientific debate being healthy and all that!). Today you dont find much at all as its just not politically correct anymore, bit like the newspaper reporting. This is quite awful and pretty suppressed, not to mention frightening. Cool paper, thanks for posting.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Blimey! This is good Natasa, it is recognising a " starter " function. How does that differ from triggering?
