The fact that so many parents are basing the medical decisions they make for their children on results that have been proven over and over to be wrong, false or misinterpreted and the well meaning, but scientifically unfounded spouting of Jenny MacCarthy amazes me. Unfortunately the main stream media (wow, I can't believe I just typed that) has a tendency to latch on to correlation studies because they are easy to understand and spin, not because they are right.
I've spent much of the last 4 years of my life studying the state of the research of Autism and neurological diseases and disorders. Does Autism scare the crap out of me? Heck yeah! Did I immunize my 10 month old boy - yes. Did every member of my lab immunize their sons and daughters - yes. There's a correlation study for you - 100% of our group of researchers who are better read than 99.99% of the world on Autism and the state of Autism research immunized ALL of their children. I can't wait to be on the cover of TIME!
