Cool, so the studies have been done: http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2004/Immunization-Safety-Review-Vaccines-and-Autism.aspx http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2004/Immunization-Safety-Review-V... "The committee concludes that the body of epidemiological evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism. The committee also concludes that the body of epidemiological evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism."

  But you didn't bother to look it up yourself before continuing to spread FUD about vaccines. A behavior which is literally killing people.

    There's no reason to attach sigma to discussing the beliefs, of people who aren't taking the vaccines.

      There is actually plenty of reason to attach stigma to discussing beliefs in an area where there is plentiful hard data.

        The dude was a little ignorant (it's surprising how he managed to avoid knowing anything about this given the constant publicity), but at least he's a good sport. Be happy that he'll be on your side from now on - that's how differences are made.

  The studies have been done again and again and again and again. It is well studied. The link was only purposed by one study that used fake data that was done because some greedy assholes wanted to make a profit suing. THAT IS IT. That's the "controversy" that is making people sick. The study has been retracted from the journal it was published in. Much independent research on Andrew Wakefield (author of the study) revealed he was paid cold hard cash by lawyers. Andrew Wakefield has since been stripped of his medical license. Fuck them all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomersal_controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomersal_controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield The cat is out of the bag. It can't be put back in.
