"Vaccines cause autism."
"Vaccines do not cause autism."
This is a contradiction.
I think the public has good right to be skeptical of scientists' statements here.
- jokermatt999 15y agoYou're lumping all scientists in together, when there are clearly two different groups here. Furthermore, later evidence has shown how terrible the evidence was for "Vaccines cause autism". The study that started this controversy was ridiculous. It used a ridiculously low sample size, the scientist conducting it (Andrew Wakefield) had severe conflicts of interest that basically lead to fraud, and to top it all off, the journal that original posted the paper retracted it.
