Many are the theories that try to explain the proliferation of autism, however, one of those that gained strength among the parents of autistic children was the one that linked the triple viral vaccine with the disease. To this end, there is a coincidence in the proliferation of autism cases and the application of the said vaccine, this fact caused an association of families with autistic children to try to convince the Vaccine Court in Washington to withdraw the triple viral vaccine because of the dangers it contained, we talked about it in the post, the autism trial.
Now we know a new news through the digital newspaper El Mundo in which it is indicated that In spite of having removed certain compounds from these vaccines due to the aforementioned suspicion, cases of childhood autism maintain their constant growth. One of the compounds of this vaccine was derived from mercury, thimerosal, this has been a very present element in the development of vaccines for years. As it is the children who receive more vaccines and it coincides that the appearance of autism in a good part of the cases is subsequent to the administration of these, it is logical to think that there may be a relationship, therefore, in 2001 the compound disappeared of vaccines.
However, recent studies by scientists belonging to the Californian department of public health, show that despite the elimination of thimerosal, cases continue to increase, reaching 10 years from 0.3 per thousand births in 1993 to one 1.3 in 2003. The year 2004 was fatal, the cases reached no less than 4.5 per thousand births, this shows that it has not been found what is the factor that causes the growth of autism and what many believed Families on the compound derived from mercury is wrong.
The increase in cases of autism forces to work with more intensity, providing the necessary resources and grants is essential and more when we can verify that the cases increase year after year, being able to become habitual. For now it is necessary that parents become aware and allow the administration of vaccines to their children, as they can save them from other diseases. Scientific research continues, we hope you can soon provide the answer as to why the cases of childhood autism grow.
