What's western medicine done for you lately? Well, did you die of measles yet?

I know there are a lot of people out there who aren't sure about vaccinations, especially for kids. I always wondered where the idea that they cause autism came from. From a fraudulent study, as it turns out.

I think this one had so much traction because people like to distrust doctors.

Thanks to drhoz for the link.

hardly surprising - autism is rare, and the symptoms are only obvious *after* the kids have reached the age they should be getting vaccinated. Video evidence of the kids when they were younger still shows the earliest signs of autism tho, even before they ever got the vaccine.
