The mainstream media is Big Pharma's favorite tool, or if you will, their preferred medium for spreading their dirty work. 

Nice trick, using a fundamentally true headline to try and push this trash. You know why mainstream medicine keeps debunking any supposed link between vaccines and autism? You can't de-bunk something that isn't bunk.

You say "mainstream medicine" when you mean "scientific medicine." You say "anecdotal evidence" like it's not an oxymoron. Would you like to explain the "obvious fault" in the logic of saying that science has found no link between vaccines and autism when science has exhaustively studied the issue searching for such a link and found none?

Do you have another causation theory? Do you have facts to support your claims? You do not.

There is no link between vaccines and autism. Prove I'm wrong.

Or shut up.

Because we're starting to figure out what causes autism,  and claiming a link that just isn't there does irreparable harm not only to that process, but to the vital work of public vaccination.

@mathematicalbagpiper@xanga - What costs more money, an inexpensive vaccine that prevents a person from getting a lethal disease, or trying desperately to save them once they catch it? That's the side Big Pharma's bread is buttered on. It's funny that you have them pushing miraculously effective, inexpensive preventatives for such diseases in order to pad their pocket-books when it actually costs them untold millions in lost revenues. You sure you don't want to re-evaluate your position?

@BobRichter@xanga - Further, it's very clear you don't know me very well at all. I'm 100% anti-doctor, anti-drug, anti-surgery, anti-everything medicine. I don't take medicine for anything, be it pain or otherwise. I'll never consent to any surgical procedure. I'll never consent to emergency treatment, even if it's supposedly required to save my life. 

@BobRichter@xanga - Actually, sure. My immune system is perfectly healthy. I know how not to get sick. I don't ever get sick. When I used "science based medicine" as you call it, I was sick all the time. 

Actually, their conclusion is not faulty because the burden of proof rests on finding a link, not the other way around. :rolleyes: I'm guessing you haven't taken a science class any time recently. 

@P1AutismMom - You sure it wasn't 20 days? Because that's about how long it'd take at airplane speeds, and science from the 60s was pretty clear on where the moon was. It did, after all, manage to put men on it and then safely return them to earth. You can't do that without knowing where the silly thing is.

I do wonder with all these 'vaccination is evil and causes autism' posts that you make whether you actually genuinely believe all the anectodal evidence and disbelieve each and every scientific research paper made over the years or

its to drive people to your site where you sell your book http://www.nurturingyouraspergerschild.com/affiliate.htm and try to get affiliates to sell it for a very generous 50% commission http://www.clickbank.com/info/jmap.htm?vendor=phyllisw.  

I am not saying that your book isn't worthwhile, but that your controversial statements on Autisable directed at an always-seeking and sometimes very vulnerable audience are just a part of your marketing effort.  In any case you are either a genuinely deluded conspiracy-theorist or a very cynical and manipulative spin doctor and either way, your book lacks all credibility to me.

@mathematicalbagpiper@xanga - As I said, I regained the use of my hands and feet, and my brother's spine was repaired. Our quality of life is undiminished. Without modern medicine, it would be nonexistent.

So your argument fails.
