What causes autism? (poll, state, vote, work)

[HomeWurkin]

Incidentally, what was the Wakefield study about? Do you know? Do you know exactly what they studied?

....or do you accept the sound-byte version of "the autism study"?

Reporting this post. Jenny is a friend of mine, and I find this offensive.

...and the thing is, we do not know if it's vaccines, because no meaningful study has ever been conducted.

Maybe you need to ask yourself why that is.

Yes I am for real. She has used the pain and suffering of countless families for her own celebrity agenda. She has no medical qualifications and many experts do not believe that her son has autism.

There have been many studies that show NO correlation between vaccines and autism.

Yes, I am very familiar with the study. Here is the original study as published. What is your point?

I don't know if you read this article, but it speaks directly to your point?

Levine: Wakefield was costly detour for autism research, treatment

TMA and other medical organizations have spent far too much effort combating Wakefield's fraudulent "research findings." His well-publicized but poorly documented study linked the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a new pathology he called "autistic enterocolitis."

Globally, we've spent millions of dollars trying to replicate or repudiate Wakefield's findings. Those millions could have been so much better spent on finding new therapies or on furthering the promising research into other causes of autism. How many thousands of children could have been spared if scientists hadn't been forced to follow Wakefield down his deceptive rabbit hole?

Ok, I'll ask again.

What do you do for a living?

Oh no, please you first. I insist.

Pretty insistent questioning for a sockpuppet account.

No, haven't read it, thanks for the link!

I work in medical R&D and guys like Wakefield give *all* us scientists a bad name.

I'm a parent of a child with autism. Can you say the same thing?

For the 4th time, what do you do for a living?
