Default Vaccine quote of the week 2 by David Ayoub, MD

I am no longer "trying to dig up evidence to prove" vaccines cause autism.
There is already abundant evidence, the same conclusion made by a 2003 U.S.
Congressional Committee.


Let me guess. That's be the committee chaired by Dan Burton, who is
already convinced that vaccines cause autism. He then commissioned
the Geiers, who also believe it, to find evidence to support their
belief. Golly gee, they found it. What a surprise.

If evidence this biased came from the "vaccines don't cause autism"
researchers, the anti-vaxers would be screaming the house down. But
bias is only bad when they think their opponents are showing it.

This debate is not scientific but is political.


True. There's no real scientific debate about the worthlessness of
the typical anti-vaxer "evidence."

I am trying to encourage physicians who have been badly misled by
nothing less than spin and propaganda


Put forth by organizations like "Defeat Autism Now!" for which Ayoub
is a shill.

to review the extensive scientific evidence for themselves showing
the vaccine-autism link, even though "experts" disagree.. --- [July
9, 2006 Blog/letter] Discovering the causes, treatment
of autism ----David Ayoub, MD


I assume the word "experts" is in quotations because someone like
Ayoub would mean, say, Bernard Rimland.
