Vaccines and MMR
The scientific community has reached a clear
consensus that vaccines don’t cause autism. There is no controversy.
There is, however, a manufactroversy — a manufactured controversy — created
by junk science, dishonest researchers, professional misconduct, outright fraud,
lies, misrepresentations, irresponsible reporting, unfortunate media publicity,
poor judgment, celebrities who think they are wiser than the whole of medical
science, and a few maverick doctors who ought to know better.

Scientists had been urged to “listen to the parents.” They did listen to the parents and then conducted research to test the parents’ hypotheses. There were various kinds of studies in different countries by different research groups. The results were consistent:
10 studies showed MMR doesn’t cause autism
6 studies showed thimerosal doesn’t cause autism
3 studies showed thimerosal doesn’t cause subtle neurological problems
Now it’s the parents who won’t listen to the scientists.
