First post by someone named "Joshua" called it a "devastating disease" and stuff.....more focuses on parents than on kids...... Oh geez.....

Meh. Fel free to comment on this...

The article starts with 'a terrrrrible disease'.

So didn't bother reading the rest.

It's basically a refutation of the MMR-causal connection. It does contain an interesting fact: The study that linked MMR and autism had only twelve subjects...

Other than that, a lot of fear-mongering, as usual. "Devastating disease"... Yeah, that's really going to help an autistic child feel good about himself.

Twelve subjects! I wonder how many of these other scaremongering "facts" have such a thin basis. Twelve subjects is far from enough to prove anything worthwhile.

What's crazier is the woman underneath the first letter, speculating it could be caused by epidurals during childbirth... or antibiotics. O.o I swear, some people are too stupid to be alive...
