Re: the ascent of 'counterknowledge'

Before i put my point i have an autistic brother and sister (my sister is the one that singsm was recently in EEN)
The scientist/researcher who put this forward was acting on years off perents saying that after the MMR triple vaccine there child changed, and i have seen this 1st hand, now at no point has anyone said the the MMR causes autism, but a trigger, and this is what was to be researched, and the researcher never once said it was/could just that it may, and he based this on the observations off the perents,
My brother was a "normal" child up until he had the MMR, now it wasn't an instand change, he had a convultion, was burning up and from that point he changed, this was all after the MMR, now we suspect that the MMR trigered something, weither it reacted with a dorment gene, or an infection or something,
Based on the the maker off the MMR was the one who put the idea forward for the research, to hopefully clear them, and the problem all along with the MMR debate was the the makers of the MMR vaccine has not listened to what was really said,
The MMR does not cause autism, but triggers something dorment in the child already, and that is where the problem lies, and no amount off science and "counterknowledge" can escape that truth

The chap that did the research was part of a team which was not investigating MMR/autism at the time. He took sample from children attending a (birthday) party without their parents consent. If I recall correctly there were only about 8 samples (may be wrong). He was only one member of the team - the rest retracted or didn't support his conclusions. Per review has failed to replicate his findings. He was also being paid by a group of parents who were trying to find a link between MMR and Autism. The Lancet said it regretted publishing his paper.
I know of quite a few kids who have been VERY ill with measles and mumps as a result of not being vaccinated. Folk these days forget how dangerous childhood illnesses can be but its beyond living memory these days so folk are complacent.
