More persistent people (28/8/2004)

I would come as no surprise to anyone familiar with this site to find
that the anti-vaccination liars are repeating lies which have been
shown to be lies many times. The latest assault on children's
wellbeing is about to appear in a rag named The Journal of American
Physicians and Surgeons, published by the Association of American
Physicians and Surgeons, a group which despite its impressive name is
just a collection of anti-vaccination whackos.

Several "experts" have found flaws in a recent study in Denmark which
showed that there was no connection between MMR vaccinations and
autism. One of the authors, Dr Fouad Yazbak, usually seems to divide
his time between blaming autism on MMR vaccines and on the thimerosal
preservative which was used in some vaccines in the past, although I
have to admit that I cannot recall him ever conflating these two
"causes" by saying that the MMR vaccine contains thimerosal as many
other anti-vaccination liars will claim. (Dr Yazbak, along with Dr
Jane Orient, head of AAPS, appeared as an expert witness for baby
slaughterer Alan Yurko in Yurko's retrial hearing last week.) Another
author is the discredited Dr Andrew Wakefield.

The new set of problems with the Danish study are attempts to confuse
the statistically illiterate by the use of bogus statistics, and lack
the imaginative property of previous discreditation attempts which
suggested such startling ideas as Danish children being so different
genetically to children in the rest of the world that the results of
the survey could not be generalised. I confidently predict that future
"research" by anti-vaccination liars will turn up many new and
unexpected ways that vaccines can damage children. They are only
limited by imagination and mendacity.
