Are you suggesting that vaccinations haven't increased life expectancy?

I saw that too, I bet here is no correlation with they either. As much as people resist the idea that diagnostics tools are superior today, I suspect that is the reason for increased diagnosis of autism.

Relax, if you trust science enough to convince you that CO2 is going to kill the planet, at least trust it enough to convince you none of he boogie men you are afraid of won't hurt you.
When did I say that C02 was going to kill the planet?

Does anyone know the rates of autism by country, in both the developed and the underderveloped world?

Also, within the US, is autism a regional or an economic class phenomena?

Personally, no I do not see evidence to support the idea that vaccinations increase life expectancy. However, my question was one of clarification not suggestion. I think many factors have contributed to overall life expectancy. The most important being quality of life.

Its not affecting third world countries or amish communities here. You know, I think its exposure to electromagnetic fields during pregnancy thats behind it. Personal computers and electronics are everywhere these days and women are working more during pregnancy. Google it and you'll see scientists are beginning to think the same thing.

Huh? The quality of life? What are you talking about?

WHO | Vaccination greatly reduces disease, disability, death and inequity worldwide


"Ehreth estimates that vaccines annually prevent almost 6 million deaths worldwide.19 In the USA, there has been a 99% decrease in incidence for the nine diseases for which vaccines have been recommended for decades,20 accompanied by a similar decline in mortality and disease sequelae."

One study I posted showed a correlation with nuclear reactors, I believe. Haven't seen anything discussing economic factors.

Just one word in the above sentence makes this idea far, far from the land of reality.
Know which word it is?
