In reply to the discussion: Professor John Walker Smith Exonerated in Autism MMR Case [View all]proverbialwisdom
(4,959 posts)13. OFF TOPIC but JB Handley scathingly shreds junk science. He's the person for you to debate, not me.
I respect his integrity and work. His contact information is all over the place. I suggest you communicate directly with him.
Here's a collection of his columns: http://www.ageofautism.com/jb_handley/
Have you read this one?

Dr. Brian Strom: An Honest Moron
CONNECT THE DOTS PICTURE at link
Managing Editor's Note: Hey guys and gals! Print out and this nifty Connect The Dots art and if you can complete it (assuming you are not an honest moron) you'll have a new piece of art for Mom on Mother's Day! Grab a gray crayon and get busy! Nap time is at 1pm.

How many times do I need to tell you people, Correlation does not equal causation!
You crazy parents are so pathetic. You just want something or someone to blame. So what, your little guy went to the doctor, got six vaccines in one minute, and then you watched him seize up, his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he stopped talking. And you think anyone cares?
Oh, and now he has autism? So what! Starbucks Coffee locations have ALSO grown since the autism epidemic started maybe its all that ground coffee in the air. Ha ha!
Whats that you say? Vaccines are KNOWN to cause brain damage? Well, so what, I, um, gotta go, my phone is ringing Seth Mnookin is calling
Heres the detail, from a CBS News report:
Oh, thank God, vaccines wont cause any autism. Brain damage I can live with. Thanks, Dr. Strom, for your service to the IOM--very helpful indeed.
Authors note: Sorry, Ive had a lot of coffee this morning (Peets, not Starbucks)

Heres the detail, from a CBS News report:
University of Pennsylvania's Dr. Brian Strom, who has served on Institute of Medicine panels advising the government on vaccine safety says the prevailing medical opinion is that vaccines are scientifically linked to encephalopathy (brain damage), but not scientifically linked to autism.

Autism is personal for most contributors at the site and I'd say love is what motivates them.
