Yeah, what are multiple reproducible, peer-reviewed scientific studies against a few people's intuitions about vaccines? Sure, there's been no change in autism rates since the formulations were changed; sure, the claims of an "epidemic" are comparing numbers from today against twenty years ago, when there were no HFA or Asperger's diagnostic criteria - but what are mere facts, against what people feel?

Goodness, Deacon. . .it appears no one else is wanting to discuss your issue, not even the OP.

maybe we are onto something!

Why has there been all this hyperbole about vaccines as a source for autism? It doesn't even sound intuitive! Why WOULD a vaccine cause this neurological change anyway?

I'm also glad to hear there are people out there challenging this idea of an autistic "epidemic." I've always thought that was pretty ridiculous, as if it doesn't occur to medical researchers that improved methods of diagnostics wouldn't actually skew the numbers...

Very interesting link OP.

I feel considerable sympathy for the Wright's daughter, so manipulated and gagged by them. (Of course we can't feel empathy for anyone!) - sarcasm.

My guess is that she is terrified of them and controlled by them, held in their power. That's what people with narcissistic personality disorder tend to do - they love to exercise power and control over other people, to pull their strings as if they were puppets.

The evidence mounts. You have to wonder...

My wife said she thought she had heard how Rand Paul had also made an idiotic statement about autism and vaccines, saying that a seventeen year old who had never been autistic got vaccinated, then suddenly became autistic. If she heard right, then apparently it's stupidity among the GOP hopefuls that's epidemic.

Genius is limited, stupidity has no bounds...

I hope you all are aware that this is seven plus year old thread.

But for exactly that reason its interesting that Trump got in trouble for spouting this same autism-vaccine link idea that he spouted again way back then (long before the current presidential campaign season).

Robert Kennedy also believes there is a link based on data he had available at time. Is he a racist or a kook or uneducated?
media and Establishment sure hate him since he turned on them and caused a fuss about thermoisol after seeing studies not meant for public. And have been working to discredit him since. Oh yeah everything he does is good, but THAT. HE went off the rails. He went on drugs. Etc. Even recent he has two different terrible biographies by people never even around him.

As for research data... without a human it is never 100% accurate.
Ethics cannot allow it though infirm children were the test subjects of vaccine back in the day with HORRIFIC side effects before a "safe measles" was found.

And I find humor when the autobelievers in the religion of science talk about sooo many research studies. Like more done by same motivated groups is better. Even in my recent memory there had been "studies " that say Blacks are Inferior, Should I believe them because Laureates and Phds did sooo many studies? and Governments?

Do you know there were more on that subject with that result than vaccine safety concerning autism link.

Look how recent a lot of that is.

all peer reviewed so it must be incontrovertible fact.... lel

Oh how cute.. pretend obtuse for response

Gingerpickles:

Just love your phrase: "autobelievers in the religion of science"

I (and the Dalai Lama) keep trying to get people to acknowledge that today, science is as much a "religion," i.e., faith based at its core, as any other religion. Just because I prefer science to other religions, doesn't mean I can't be agnostic about its postulates.

Science simply tries the most efficient way to a solution... and the vaccine link was actually the non-reproducible speculation of a single scientist, so effectively people are believing one scientist but not hundreds.
