Well done, Josh. I’ll link to it at Countering on the right side of the page. Anytime you have something you’d like to cross post at Countering, send it on to me (my email is on my profile page and main website) and I’ll post it. It’s always a pleasure to meet another woo fighter.

If you haven’t read this, the Immunization Safety Review:
Vaccines and Autism is an excellent reference (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=10997)

Comment on “standing in line” vs “standing on line” by Karen

Let’s add more prepositional aspects to this….

Do we stand IN line for a show AT the weekend IN the rain ON the path?
or
Do we stand ON line for a show ON the weekend UNDER the umbrella IN the rain ON the path IN a puddle?
and
What happens if we’re OUT of line?
or
UNDER line?

I reckon you should get IN line mate

Excellent work, my good man! I suspect the anti-vaxxers are too ignorant to understand what a helpful resource this is for people trying to save them from their own paranoia, so let me thank you on their behalf. Thanks!

Yours in science,

han -

Thanks! And thanks for the tip, I’ll definitely pass it on to Respectful Insolence.

Skepticism is always healthy, but in the end it should fall on what the science has to say. Most of us aren’t qualified to make any real claims, and so the best we can do is figure out what the experts say.

But so many have decided, as with your brother, that there is “something” wrong… but what would convince him otherwise? Clearly not the science.

Cheers!

This is an incredibly thorough overview of the topic, and I commend you for taking the time and effort to put all this information together. I’ve been following this debate and, while most of these studies and sources have been mentioned, I have yet to see them all compiled in one place like this. If you haven’t already, I suggest linking to this post in the comments section of Respectful Insolence, as I think it would be useful to many people. I intend to send it to my brother, who is otherwise intelligent but believes there must be “something to” the claim that vaccines cause autism.
