111. My question is why do people have to be such dicks about it.
Like the OP, he didn't just say, "well, I think these 5,000 parents are mistaken in their conclusions because..." it's like "oh god now we have to put up with these hysterical, emotional parents of autistics, they hate true science and they don't want any vaccinations" and blah blah blah over and over again.

As if we are trying to irritate you or pull of the swindle of the decade. It's the same hostility you see with the "global warming denial" people: something unnecesarily mocking and mean-spirited about it.

You know, if they're proven wrong so be it. I believe in my heart my daughter changed after the shot. I just can't believe how hostile people can be that I think that. They didn't see it. Nobody in my family thinks I'm crazy for thinking that but somebody who's never met any of us is like, oh bullshit. What the hell do you know about the experiences of those 5,000 families, MonkeyFunk? So quick to call bullshit on all of us....
