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.

Dan Burton is currently serving his twelfth term as a United States
Representative from
Indiana's Fifth Congressional District. His first term in Congress began in
January of 1983. The Fifth District lies in the heart of central Indiana
and includes all of Tipton, Grant, Miami, Wabash, Huntington, Hamilton, and
Hancock Counties, as well as parts of Marion, Shelby, Howard and Johnson
Counties.
When Congressman Burton assumed the Chairmanship of the House Committee on
Government Reform in the 105th Congress, he became the first Hoosier
Republican to Chair a full House Committee in more than sixty years. The
last was Congressman William Robert Wood, who chaired the Committee on
Appropriations during the 71st Congress (1929-1931). Congressman Burton
currently serves as Chairman of the House International Relations
Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere.
Dan Burton was born on June 21, 1938, in Indianapolis, Indiana. He graduated
from Shortridge High School in 1957, and attended Indiana University and the
Cincinnati Bible Seminary. Congressman Burton received the Honorary Degree
of Doctor of Humanities from Capitol University of Integrative Medicine on
December 17, 2000. As a proud veteran of our Armed Forces, Dan served in the
U.S. Army and the U.S. Army Reserves (1957-1962). Before his election to
Congress, Mr. Burton held office in the Indiana State Senate (1969-70 and
1981-82), as well as in the Indiana House of Representatives (1967-68 and
1977-80). The Burton family resides in Indianapolis, Indiana.

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.
That's a lie.

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