> The probable reason for that lack of reporting is the absence of pattern being present in the data So another "scientific study" with too little actual science? How does this build trust?

The word you're looking for is epidemiology, it's applied medical statistics, and you build your trust by educating yourself ... * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7993 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7993 Here's a nice lady: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiona_Stanley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiona_Stanley a noted epidemiologist who has demonstrated the need for folic acid in childhood development. Perhaps start with some first year college texts on ANOVA applications in medicine and agriculture?

  What I'm suggesting is that "the science" seek some epidemiology. There's a lot implied in this study. There's some great correlation. But it's not thorough. It missed key questions (already listed) to the point of being misleading. It's the ethical equivalent of cherry-picking data to find something you wanted to find. That's science? I think not.

Did you read the actual paper cited in the article. > It's the ethical equivalent of cherry-picking data to find something you wanted to find. They reported what was there. Are you suggesting they didn't run a multi variate regression against vaccination status? > That's science? I think not. Could you remind me when you first ran any regressions on medical data for a cohort of several thousand or more? In the interestes of transparency I first did that in the mid 1980s .. although admittedly I continued in the direction of exploration geospatial statistical applications as part of geophysics.
