So there is nothing in your life you use which has undergone a longitudinal double-blind placebo-controlled study to see whether it causes autism. Not your other medications or supplements (if any), not your toaster, not your cell phone, not the cooking pans you use, not the water bottles in your fridge, not anything at all? Nothing you can name? You have never ever asked for anything else in your life to jump though that hoop?

Lady, this isn't about the science for you at all -- it's about conclusions you already drew about vaccines. [/quote]

I accept this as a concession. My point was not about vaccines; my point was about the condescension in guffawing about parents doing their own research. [b]There is a difference between (1) telling a parent that they are incapable of doing research and (2) telling a parent that the demand they’ve formed on the basis of their research is unreasonable.[/b] [/quote]

I think we can absolutely agree on that. I suspect we can also agree that informed consent is often approached as a checklist and not actually supported with time or attention, that the ability of providers and parents or patients to actually talk to each other is horribly constrained (especially by time, but also in other ways), that parents  often are feeling (justifiably) that they are not treated with respect, and many other things.

There are so many reasons for the fractures in healthcare today. Anyone laughing at anyone else with a mocking tone in this venue is making light of some very serious things. [/quote]

I agree, although I personally have never felt a lack of respect from a doctor. I suspect some of this has a class overlay though, which is its own discussion. Anyway, thanks again for engaging. [/quote]
