Re: the ascent of 'counterknowledge'

Quote:
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
i'm so very sorry to hear about what happened to your bro and sis. nevertheless this does sound like a firmer conclusion than anything i've read elsewhere.

i have no doubt you've read more about the subject than me, but i was under the distinct impression the link has been increasingly discredited. i've also heard other explanations for the apparent correlation, one being as simple a suggestion as autism starts to manifest around the age when the mmr jag is given.

whatever; it's a terrible thing that seems to be worryingly on the increase. let's hope the scientific community make some serious progress on it before long.
