I guess you doctors don't have to study statistics in college....just do what that pretty pharmacuetical saleswoman tells you and take your trip to Aruba every year.

The increase in reported Autism isn't due to increased screening...If anything. There is less screening going on. Teachers are tripping over these kids in schools. The only ones not recognizing this increase in autism stats are you bone-headed doctors.

Dear "rubbertramp",

If you are attempting to prove your point, you've certainly not done so. There is no empirical, clinical, or scientific study that correlates MMR and autism. I've reviewed the literature fully and the issue is about as moot as can be. The only individuals making this claim are liberals in the news media like at CBS 60 Minutes, NBC Dateline, ABC 20/20, and Time Magazine. None of these sources are credible and none have published any study that supports such conclusion. Instead, they have published meritless stories which create more stories and paint a political picture. Regretably, Dan Burton stands alone in his convictions. Autism has many causes, but MMR is certainly not one of them.
