Well, boo-hoo. Sniff...sniff..too bad...

The science minded pro-vacs have been telling the anti-vac thimersal whiner know-nothing liars that they have been creating just this real problem. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, the liars are whining.

Well, boo-hoo. Sniff..sniff..too bad...

But the attacks

Yes, the purpose is to show that the anti-vacs are a pack of liars who have derailed proper investigation into the real causes of autism for year. Now that we can move on from their fearmongering and bullpoo, they want to whine that they ahve been caught.

They have highlighted the need to preserve

Hogwash. There has always been one rule, Wakefield has just wanted to hide his conflict so he can make the big bucks testifying.

It is a review, dummy, and not original research like Wakefield claimed he did.

Bacterial infections, immune overload, and MMR vaccine. Measles, mumps, and rubella.

Miller E, Andrews N, Waight P, Taylor B.

Immunisation Division, Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre, Public Health Laboratory Service, 61 Colindale Avenue, London NW9 5EQ, UK.

Combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine did not increase the risk of hospitalisation with invasive bacterial infection in the three months after vaccination; rather there was a protective effect. These results provide no support for the concept of "immunological overload" induced by multiple antigen vaccinations, nor calls for single antigen vaccines.

Recall bias, MMR, and autism.

Andrews N, Miller E, Taylor B, Lingam R, Simmons A, Stowe J, Waight P.

Statistics Unit, Public Health Laboratory Service, 61 Colindale Avenue, London NW9 5EQ, UK.

Parents of autistic children with regressive symptoms who were diagnosed after the publicity alleging a link with measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine tended to recall the onset as shortly after MMR more often than parents of similar children who were diagnosed prior to the publicity. This is consistent with the recall bias expected under such circumstances.

That is correct, it does not.

so there is no need for single vaccines. Two others

Seems logical to me.

I wonder if the writer of this *article* bothered to check the original publications.

They are retained to be experts because they do research. Do the lawyers subsidize the research? If so, you have a similar situation with Wakefiled. If not, stop whining.

Bullpoo. This type of "non-existent" blather has been published regularly for years. It is one of the ways anti-vac liars undermine parental confidence.

Well, we know that this is not true. he also had the support of the attorneys in performing his research and stood to make big Euros, Pounds and bucks testifying.

So, why is she being vilified by the anti-vac liars? Because she was right all along and they cannot stand it.

So, she did not recevie any money for her services, but they try to smear her by implication.

because kids became sick and died due to Wakefield's actions? Seems right to me.

No doubt Dr Miller sought clearance before agreeing to will

see, more smear by innuendo.

Wrong. Six years ago his financial ties to the attorneys who were prosecuting these bogus claims were unknown.
