propaganda
This article isn't news about autism, it is propaganda of the worst kind.
It attempts to paint parents of kids with autism who have legitimate concern about vaccines as gullible fools who don't do research or understand the medical condition of their own children.
It states that the reporter for the LA times did three months of research. Many parents like me have done ten years or more of research into neurochemistry, biomedicine, pharmacology, and the history of autism research and epidemiology. I've actually read the scientific studies the article mentions and am very familiar with the flaws and statistical manipulations they contain.
I'm also well versed in the politics and economic factors involved in this subject. Much more so than the reporter who wrote this article OR the article in Wired that it refers to.
Why does AutismSpot reprint propagandistic garbage like this that insults our intelligence?
