To me it's bigger than that.
For me to agree that X causes Y you have to show me that everyone who does X will have Y as a result. Cessation in breathing for 30 minutes will always cause death. Exposure of water to temperatures below 32 degrees F will always cause freezing. Smoking will not always cause lung cancer and vaccination will not always cause autism. The distinction to *me* is that it doesn't have any bearing on my child if yours (not you, but a hypothetical "yours") was vaccinated without issue. It could still be problematic for MY child. |
