The evidence that vaccines are not linked to autism is compelling and overwhelming. And there has never been much evidence supporting the link (unless you buy into bad journals and withdrawn articles).
So, is this story finally dead?
Lifetime lover of science, especially biomedical research. Spent years in academics, business development, research, and traveling the world shilling for Big Pharma. I love sports, mostly college basketball and football, hockey, and baseball. I enjoy great food and intelligent conversation. And a delicious morning coffee!
I think that the recent and ongoing advances in autism diagnoses will soon push the average age of autism diagnosis significantly earlier than the average age of the first vaccinations, putting the myth to rest once and for all. Then we can tell Jenny McCarthy, “look, autism causes vaccination!”
I hope you are going to take on PETA’s ‘autism linked to dairy’ claim: http://www.peta.org/features/got-autism-learn-link-dairy-products-disease/
Vaccines cause autism, here’s a peer-reviewed article proving it:
lol just kidding, that’s not an actual thing.
I was hoping that the zombies were at fault, even though I voted with the majority, citing “magical thinking” as the logical fallacy. 3:)
All evidence showing the vaccine denialist cult to be wrong will be hand-waved away.
It was never about the evidence. If it was, it would be dead years ago.
