    The supposed link between autism and the MMR vaccine was debunked several years ago, and Andrew Wakefield, who claimed to have research to support it has been discredited.

    I did some research into this back in the mid-1990s and found research from the 1950s that indicated autism developing at (from memory) between 12 and 18 months, which is roughly the time at which the MMR vaccine is given. There may be some correlation between timing of vaccines and autism, but there is no proven causation.

    As for psychopathic children - you might want to read, if you haven't already, Lionel Shriver's book 'We Need To Talk About Kevin'.

    It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.

    I avoided these because while convenient they are expensive long term. Some pod machines block non branded pods so you are locked into buying over priced brand pods. They have the same business model as inkjet printers. They practically give away the machines because you are locked into their pods on which they have a ridiculous profit margin.

    If anyone has any doubts as to why so many are seeking asylum in the EU.
