That Time Conor McGregor Proved That Vaccines Are Not Associated With Autism
There are a lot of autistic children and adults who are unvaccinated.
Did Conor McGregor really prove that vaccines are not associated with autism?
He did, if all it takes is knowing that there are unvaccinated kids with autism!
That Time Conor McGregor Proved That Vaccines Are Not Associated With Autism
And yes, these are unvaccinated autistic kids whose mothers also didn’t receive any vaccines while they were pregnant.
Will this be enough proof that vaccines aren’t associated with autism for these folks?
Probably not.
They will simply move the goal posts and blame the vaccines the mom got as a child, shedding, or that there are sometimes other causes…
Still, you should know that there are plenty of unvaccinated kids with autism, and this is an excellent argument against vaccines being associated with autism.
So, where are they?
They are everywhere!
You can start by reading the personal stories of unvaccinated kids with autism.
“When her daughter Vivian was born, "I was really adamant that she not get vaccines," Russo says. "I thought that she was going to be safe without them and they would unnecessarily introduce chemicals into her body that could hurt her." … At 16 months old, her daughter still wasn't walking and her speech was odd… By that time, Russo says, it was pretty clear that Vivian had autism, caused by something other than a vaccination.”

And there are many of these stories!
“Perhaps that bit of fate was a good thing since I might have fallen back into the anti-vaccine sentiment if he had been vaccinated prior to his diagnosis. I hadn’t heard about the vaccine/autism link until after we suspected something. Then I recall thinking, “Wait a minute, he isn’t vaccinated so vaccines didn’t cause it in him.” It was just a few months later that Andrew Wakefield was discredited so I figured that was the end of that. I assumed common sense and science would set the record straight. But I forgot how all-encompassing the anti-vaccine feeling can be.”
Lara’s Story Part 2: Vaccines and Autism
An anti-vaccine influencer and editor at an infamous autism website also has an unvaccinated child with autism.
"...I vaccinated my two older girls fully when they were younger...”

She doesn’t blame the vaccines she received while pregnant for causing her third child to also have autism, either.
She apparently blames her own childhood vaccines!
Where Are the Unvaccinated Children With Autism?
Need more evidence?
You just have to look at all the studies of younger siblings of autistic children.
“Of the 12 younger sibs who had not received any immunizations, 4 (33.3%) were diagnosed with ASD and 1 with SLD.”
Immunization uptake in younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder
These studies find unvaccinated autistic kids, as families blame vaccines and stop vaccinating their kids.
Immunization uptake in younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder
Autism occurrence by MMR vaccine status among US children with older siblings with and without autism — found plenty of autistic kids who had never received an MMR vaccine
Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccination and Autism: A Nationwide Cohort Study — a large Danish study that found many autistic kids who didn’t receive the MMR vaccine or any other vaccines
So, can someone ask Conor McGregor if this disproves the vaccine connection to autism theory?

I’m betting they either blame contrails next or maybe leprechauns
