Excepts
Cal-Oregon Unvaccinated Survey
"We surveyed over 9,000 boys in California and Oregon and found that
vaccinated boys had a 155% greater chance of having a neurological
disorder like ADHD or autism than unvaccinated boys." -Generation
Rescue, June 26, 2007
All this shows is that boys whose parents are don't believe in the
diagnosis of autism and ADHD also don't beleive in vaccination.

NOTHING will give anti-vac liars a clue.



Methodology
Generation Rescue commissioned an independent opinion research firm,
SurveyUSA of Verona NJ, to conduct a telephone survey in nine counties
in California and Oregon. Counties were selected by Generation Rescue.
Interviews were successfully completed in 11,817 households with one
or more children age 4 to 17. From those 11,817 households, data on
17,674 children was gathered. Of the 17,674 children inventoried, 991
were described as being completely unvaccinated. For each unvaccinated
child, a heath battery was administered.
Generation Rescue chose to use telephone interviews with parents to
gather data on children, so as to closely mirror the methodology the
CDC uses to establish national prevalence for NDs such as ADHD and
autism through their national phone survey of parent responses.
Generation Rescue chose to focus on children ages 4-17 to match the
age range used by CDC.
Are parent responses a reliable indicator of a child's diagnostic
status? According to Dr. Laura Schieve, co-author of the CDC's
national phone survey study, in discussing the CDC's two phone surveys
on autism prevalence, "the consistency of prevalence estimates across
the two surveys supports high reliability or reproducibility of
parental report of autism and reliability is one important component
of validity."
Certainly appears conducted in an unbiased and transparent manner .As
compared with the IOM study that started with the conclusion that they
wanted.Then did the study. The article continues
Results
" Vaccinated boys were 158% more likely to have a neurological
disorder (RR 2.58)
- Vaccinated boys were 317% more likely to have ADHD (RR 4.17)
- Vaccinated boys were 112% more likely to have autism (RR 2.12) "
And notes the following ... "Generation Rescue is not
representing that our study proves that the U.S. vaccine schedule has
caused an epidemic in neurological disorders amongst our children. We
are a small non-profit organization. For less than $200,000, we were
able to complete a study that the CDC, with an $8 billion a year
budget, has been unable or unwilling to do" later the story
notes.... "Further, in 2006 the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences, at the request of Senator Joseph
Lieberman, issued this report which effectively conceded that both the
CDC study of U.S. children and the "Danish Studies" were of poor study
design and not reliable in determining whether or not Thimerosal
causes autism. As this article from UPI reporter Dan Olmsted noted
following the report's release: "For three years, the CDC has used a
study conducted on its own Vaccine Safety Datalink to reassure parents
that mercury in vaccines does not cause autism. Now a panel of
government-appointed experts says there are "serious problems" with
exactly the approach the CDC took." Olmsted interviewed the
Chairperson of the NIEHS Committee who was quoted as saying:
"It's an 'open question' whether anything about vaccines -- timing,
dose, preservative -- is related to the rise in diagnoses [of autism].
Some studies are stronger than others. The Verstraeten [Pediatrics]
study was an improvement on other studies including the two in
Denmark, both of which had serious weaknesses in their designs that
limit what we can learn from them." Link to full story

Don't you like this study .... "Further, in 2006 the National

Much more transparent than the unnamed uncited sources you prefer
"blogs' who knows the author/

Arthur Allen is a noted author and RICHARD Roy Grinker is a professorof
anthropology and the author of Unstrange Minds. I have read both of
their books on Autism and Vaccination. So should you.

As for JB Handley, he buys a study with the cohort HE chooses. Selection
bias at its best.

His ethics are also just your style. He is a cybersquatter who is using
someone's nom d'blog since that person is a well respected writer in the
Blogosphere.

And, of course, Grinker and Allen were talking about your ilk.
