And I'm not going to answer the question because it's nothing more than an attempt to create the logical fallacy of poisoning the well. Nothing about being related to an autistic kid makes one more or less able to read and understand the studies.

I disagree with your accusation and your premise. I meant what I said: not interested in your input. It meets with your logic but you are not personally vested in finding answers to the need for immunization that avoids causing problems that are as bad or worse for a significant and growing number of the population.

You either are in denial about a personal investment or you really are not personally invested; I believe that skews your perception. I am sincerely sorry for what is either your lack of emotional investment or your denial of the same and your inability to see how that might influence your perceptions. Your posting was neither logical nor was it unemotional. I think you have issues around those two things.

Thanks for your sentiment (such as it was) but I'm quite at peace with my role in life. It is tough, but it's tougher for our son and that's of more concern to me. I am also of the impression that you have not read through the entire thread, which I am in the process of doing; otherwise, you would have noted that my focus has been on Pitocin as the cause of our son's damage rather than (in our case) mercury from vaccinations. You would have also realized that my "goal" is not elimination of immunization, per se, but that I keep encouraging people to look at homeopathic nosodes as a vehicle of immunization instead of inoculation with massive doses of (sometimes mercury-laden) vaccines with foreign proteins that can cause the body to shut down its own immune system, leading to other problems including auto-immune reactions.

I've got 24 years on you, a personal investment in a solution you apparently don't have, and a wealth of experience and input from people who are simply more open-minded, more invested in the problem, and more questioning of the status quo than you are. You can deny an emotional investment in the status quo all you want, but your postings don't support that. You offer no logic anywhere that I can see but center primarily on personal attacks about my "emotions" and "lack of logic." If you read the entire thread and do so with an open mind, you'll learn a lot and your "arguments" will be more worthy of that name.

Please don't bother to answer if it's just more of the same.

And what you said is a clear cut case of the logical fallacy of poisoning the well. You are uninterested in the input of people who don't match your preset criteria, that is the definition of poisoning the well.

You do NOT need a personal investment in order to read the studies, they're clear and easy to understand. And the studies show quite clearly that there is no known causative link between vaccines and autism. None.
