The cause of AUTISM is one of the biggest debates amongst the millions of incurable diseases in the US. Unlike MS, however, mercury in a vaccine for AUTISM is said to be its cause by the anguished, sometimes violent, persons close to those affected. Science says it is not. For more on this debate, read the article on AUTISM in The Best in American Science Writing, 2006. You can also see the pros and cons of the debate on the Internet.
Rather than attacking the health workers involved in researching and administering the vaccine, why not prioritize the search for a cure like what has been done for AIDS?
Given the funds & time devoted to opposing the vaccine, wouldn’t most choose to invest in embryonic stem cell research, research using embryos to be discarded anyway? The same kind of research the NIH selected for the millions of dollars that are pouring in to search for a cure for AUTISM.
