16 years ago, a doctor published a study, and it made us all sick

Published

"After years of controversy and making parents mistrust vaccines, along with collecting $674,000 from lawyers who would benefit from suing vaccine makers, it was discovered he had made the whole thing up. The Lancet publicly apologized and reported that further investigation led to the discovery that he had fabricated everything.

In the intervening years, millions have been spent on studying this further to see if there was anything that could connect autism and vaccines. This is what they found."

16 years ago, a doctor published a study. It was completely made up, and it made us all sicker.

(Geez Louise, here we go again...)

If it's too upsetting, just move on to some other thread.

Just got my flu shot and lived to tell the tale!

There has beeen no increased incidence of GBS before or since the one swine flu vaccine in 1976 and even then it was a very small increase of GBS with the flu vaccine that year. Vaccines are safer now than they have ever been. Vaccines now have fewer proteins/antigens and are more selective. You actually have less proteins, approximately 10x less, in all the children's vaccines today than the ones from 20 years ago.

Oh, snap! You got me (2+ years later)! Sure, it would be easier to "just move on," but then people like you would be promoting ignorance here without any pushback.

Good.

Yes, at the same rate that people who don't get the flu shot do. So what was your point again?
