  1. The video and the article have different positions on the relationship between vaccine and autism . Video says black children are more likely to get autism, while the article says thimerosal doesn't have anything to do with kids getting autism. But the studies were generalized into yes or a no.

    1. What do you mean by the studies being generalized into yes or a no?

    2. I meant that the studies either categorize their results into either yes autism is caused by vaccination or no autism isn't caused by vaccination.

  2. Both sources reveal the spectrum on whether vaccines and autism are related. The video is an unreliable source, the identity of the uploader is completely unknown, the information presented has nothing to back it up. The article was updated within the past year and clearly states its sources and testing.

  3. Vaccines do not cause autism. While the video uses random numbers from "actual" studies to prove that black kids are more likely to get autism from vaccines (vaccines cause autism), the article uses hard facts and actual study reports to prove that there is no relationship between vaccines and autism.

    1. How do you know that they are actual study reports in the cdc article versus the "actual" studies in the video?

    2. Only had 50 words to play with but in the article it clearly states / has links to the reports and experiment records.

    3. Agreed. But how do you actually know that they are reliable?

    4. okay then if that's you're argument then how do you know if anything is reliable or real? Also in the article it gave links to full reports vs the video where they only showed a couple lines or specifically picked evidence to make it seem like their position on the issue was correct.

  4. The video and article given about vaccines and autism both take a different stance on the issue. The article is from the CDC and clearly states that autism is not linked toward vaccines and was supported by factual and experimental evidence. The video took an opposite stance and claimed vaccines don’t cause autism.

    1. Did you mean that the video claimed vaccines DO cause autism?

  5. We are presented with opposing ideas of whether vaccines cause Autism or not. The first sources explains how vaccines have no relation to Autism with information on vaccine ingredients and ASD, and the second source tells us about how Whistle Blower admits to keeping information hidden about vaccines and ASD.

  6. The resources show 2 different sides of the case (do vaccines cause autism). In the video, we are told that a whistle blower kept information hidden and in the article we are shown actual proof of their side of the case. Basically one shows proof and one shows attempted proof.

    1. What do you mean by "actual" proof? And How do you know that it is "actual" proof?

  7. Both source show contradicting perspectives on the relationship between autism and vaccine. In the article it uses solid facts to determine it perspective through research. While the video is determining that autism occur in black children very drastically. Both sources have there studies and reasoning to come to a conclusions.

    1. Since we talked about reliability in the previous class, which out of the two presented sources do you think is more reliable if any?

  8. The two sources presented discuss the relation of vaccines with ADS. The video shows random documents as "evidence" and uses unidentifiable "experts" to claim that vaccines cause ADS. While the article on the CDC website shows clear citations and provides links to several studies to back up its argument that vaccines don't cause ADS.

  9. Both sources are talking about vaccines causing autism. Both have very different perspectives. The article provides many sources and studies that have been approved to strongly argue that it doesn't cause autism. While the video has no citations to back up to their arguments, it uses lots of unknown people.

    1. We talked about citations and their relationship to reliability. What else about the article made it more reliable than the video?

  10. The two sources show opposite opinions in regards to vaccines and autism. The video does not have tested information and the whistle blower is not revealed. The video can be deemed unreliable. Vaccines do not cause autism.

  11. The two sources voice their opinions on vaccines and its relation to Autism. The article provides scientific facts and results obtained through studies that show vaccines do not cause ASD. However, the video doesn’t provide alot of sufficient details to back up their argument. Therefore the video can be unreliable.

  12. Using these sources as pieces of evidence, I conclude that vaccines do not cause autism. The CDC uses validated studies to draw conclusions from, while the video is all based on one man's personal experience. The video was an opinionated piece using faulty, if any, evidence to substantiate its claims.
