Uh, have anybody ever LOOKED at the statistics of Autism? It's an EPIDEMIC, rising exponentially.

Why would ANYBODY wanting to stop the epidemic then, do a “study” designed to exonerate a vaccination program? Shouldn't REAL scientists be trying to FIND THE FRIGGING CAUSE, instead of PROTECT THE VACCINE INDUSTRY?

I have had it with GOVERNMENT FUNDED PSEUDO-SCIENCE.

Yes, it is an epidemic and the incidence is rising. And it was rising in Yokohama in the study I linked, even when Yohohama had ceased vaccinating.

So it's definitely time to work on finding the cause, rather than keep blaming something that isn't the cause.

I don't think that the reason this study was done is to "exonerate" the vaccination industry. But, for the purposes of this discussion, let's stipulate that indeed the only reason was to validate the safety of modern day vaccines.

That is a great reason.

Vaccines are safe. Period. The real threat of increasingly un-vaccinated children is exponentially greater than the (to use your words) pseudo-scientific lynching of vaccines and their makers. Vaccines manufactured by "Big Pharma" that have all but completely eradicated real and dangerous disease that ravage parts of the undeveloped world.

In short, THANK GOD for the US vaccine industry the last 50 years. The benefit they've brought to the US and mankind is INCALCULABLE.
