I've been reading Selye's the Stress of Life lately, and it is quite interesting. I thought of it this morning when I read yet another vaccine-autism denial headline Autism tied to high levels of prenatal steroid hormones. I'm far from convinced one way or the other if vaccines "cause" autism or if all that is just a crazy conspiracy theory, but it doesn't really seem that people are thinking about it from a whole body perspective.
Selye's favorite thing to test his General Adaptation Syndrome was to create an air pocket under the skin on the back of rat and then inject stuff in it. Simply by doing this he could consistently produce the generalized stress reaction he spent his life studying.
I can't help but see the similarity between injecting stuff into an air pocket under the skin and injecting stuff (agents like rubella, measles, hepatitis, chicken pox etc. etc) into the middle of a muscle group.
What exactly do people think happens when you get vaccinated?
There are many different factors that govern the body's response to the stressor, but as usual, modern science is too busy looking for genetic determinant factor than studying the general stress reaction to vaccines (or any stressing agent that affects children, because certainly some non-vaccinated children develop autism too) and pinpointing ways to identify those children who might not be good candidates for traditional vaccinations. I'm not a biologist, but I can't help thinking the latter path might be quicker.
