quiz: OT: fraudulent study exposed

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

On our local news, just after the piece, the station interviewed a mom who

refuses to believe that the study showing that vaccines cause autism could

be wrong.

Her argument? Why did so many parents see the same thing? Our children

receiving vaccines, and the onset of autism in our children shortly

afterwards.

Quiz: Is this a valid argument? How would you explain the limits of her

observation?

Subject: OT: fraudulent study exposed

Showing another, even if uncommon reason why it's important not to latch

onto a finding based on a single study - this fraudulent report diverting

resources away from the real causes of autism, and parents away from

vaccines for their children.

" A scathing report published Wednesday by the British Medical Journal stated

that Dr. Wakefield, the lead author, falsified the medical histories

of all 12 patients in his study and that he was " hoping to sue vaccine

manufacturers and to create a vaccine scare. "
