[quote=zk]I disagree. They really had no way of knowing that Wakefield’s “science” was really not science at all. There was a published paper in a major medical journal saying vaccines caused autism. And there were also people saying it didn’t. So, if you didn’t know that the Lancet paper wasn’t science, then, in 2008, you’d think that “the science right now is inconclusive.”
A published paper in a major medical journal is a lot more to go on than a bunch of nutjobs’ claims. ‘Course, turns out Wakefield was (is) a nutjob.[/quote]Sorry, but we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I give more credence to our CDC and the vast amount of doctors who did the research and came up with the MMR vaccine than one person writing in the medical journal. It was not backed up by the medical community as a whole and the CDC, so why should a presidential candidate comment on such speculation, which turn out to be false.
