Truth In Media: Vaccine Court and Autism

a reply to: Witness2008

I asked for scientific sources, not quack sources:

The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons is not listed in academic literature databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed or the Web of Science. The quality and scientific validity of articles published in the Journal have been criticized by medical experts, and some of the political and scientific viewpoints advocated by AAPS are at not held by mainstream scientists and other medical groups.[1] The U.S. National Library of Medicine declined repeated requests from AAPS to index the journal, citing unspecified concerns.[1] Quackwatch lists JPandS as an untrustworthy, non-recommended periodical.[37] An editorial in Chemical & Engineering News described JPandS as a "purveyor of utter nonsense."[38] Investigative journalist Brian Deer wrote that the journal is the "house magazine of a right-wing American fringe group [AAPS]" and "is barely credible as an independent forum."[39] Writing in The Guardian, science columnist Ben Goldacre described the Journal as the "in-house magazine of a rightwing US pressure group well known for polemics on homosexuality, abortion and vaccines."[40]

wikipedia? The opinions of doctors? Shooting messengers again. The paper was sound. Find me one the refutes it.

Wikipedia? Click the links. It's well sourced.
Opinions of doctors? Yeah, what would they know about medical issues, right?

The source is quackery, you cling to it because you know have nothing of substance. Otherwise, you'd offer up credible scientific research. But you can't.

Tell me this: now that ethylmercury has been removed from childhood vaccines, why has the rates of autism not been affected?

a reply to: GetHyped

There is plenty of research that points fingers at the vaccine connections to autoimmune problems in children. The vaccinations even kill children. I did my own homework on the subject when we still went to libraries and talked to our neighbors, so I don't think that I will join you on your gerbil wheel. Scientist discrediting other scientist is what this is all about, and there is a sea of it on the internet..... and in the mean time the vaccine manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank.

The simple fact that industry scientists defend and advocate the use of ethyl mercury as a preservative in medications given to babies demands that I consider other alternative views.

Want to convince all of us out here that vaccines have zero link to autism or any other chronic illness or disability that plagues the U.S? Then demand a comparison study between the vaccinated and the vaccine free population in the U.S.

Or as in the case of my kiddo and 7 of his friends, neurological problems, as in Tourettes and Tourettes-like symptoms. Lets just say we got nowhere with any physicians or courts, even though there was clearly a cluster.

And unfortunately that is how it will continue to be. Who are we to question the all knowing scientists? Pfffft. You know the ones that brought us accutane, baycol, bextra, merital, redux, trasylol, vioxx, and my all time favorite, thalidomide, and there are dozens more that have seriously injured and killed folks.

So sorry that you have been effected by these snake oil salesmen.

There may have been a cluster but vaccine probably wasn't the only commonality. As you've learned, you have to prove a direct correlation not an indirect correlation.

Oh, yes, I've pretty much always had a feeling that it's always in combination with something else. And bad luck.

So do you not have a scientific source to critique the Danish study's methodology?
