"Some" - what a mighty number

"In California in the 1960's through the 1970's, autism accounted for roughly 3% of the total number of new cases entering the system. Beginning in the late 1970's (1978-79) and early 1980's, the autism epidemic began, and the increase grew from 3% to 40% by July 2003..... By October 2003, autism accounted for 47% of all new intakes, and according to the latest DDS Report for the 3rd. Quarter of 2006, autism now accounts for an astonishing 76% of the intakes now entering California's developmental services system."

Nationally, the increases in autism among 6-21 year olds increased by over 1500% during the past 15 years.  And we are to believe that such increases are due to "Some children who would nowadays be diagnosed unambiguously with autistic disorder"?  Pig flop!

It should be noted that in California new autism cases continues to grow, but the rate of growth has dropped significantly since the removal of thimerasol from the vaccines, thus the clear implication that mercury is but one of the causal agents in vaccines.  Obviouly, there could be other causal agents outside vaccines, but the exact correlation between autism increases and vaccination increases absent any other corresponding major environmental changes provides a clear logical link between autism and vaccinations.

So what we are debating here is merely the same old mainstream apologistic crap that has been thoroughly debated and rejected time and again, no matter what identity the apologist cloaks themselves in.
