[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s probably some truth in the report.  Unfortunately the current HHS has so little credibility that it’s hard to sort the wheat from the chaff.  I’ll wait to see what other experts say.  It’s so upsetting not to be able to trust what should be objective scientific information from government experts.[/quote]

This. Correlation has already been found. Haven't looked at research to see if the sample size, control factors and tests are enough to suggest causation. Regardless, I think there are so many paths to autism where genetics and environment interplay and he's looking for just a few scapegoats. One blames a drug, the other blames the mom or medical professionals not testing for this.[/quote]

Correlation was indicated in an earlier study but a Swedish study that followed 2.5 million kids showed that the correlation went away with proper controls on other factors.

Correlation isn't causation.  Say that again and again.
