As you know, we have pointed out often, in harmony with many people and other sites and books, that many studies in medicine are not properly done, and very often seem to assume the outcome they detect and even use it as a premise. As JAMA and others have shown, this mysteriously correlates to quite a high degree with the business interests of the researchers, who for some reason dpn’t often publish results which would lower the revenue of their funders.

We stop short however of stating so blatantly your apparently reflex suspicion of the motivations of researchers, whether conscious or not. Given that human motivations are rarely simple, it seems unfair to accuse people of sheer crookedness if many factors are at work, some of them probably sheer incompetence and stupidity and other unconscious factors.

Yet as you know in AIDS many of the drug studies are useless for lack of controls and the entire literature assumes that the cause of immune deficiency is HIV without any good reason and innumerable reasons against this presumption, It is clear from their actions to resist review that the leaders of the field are fully aware that their tens of thousands of papers are corrupted at their core and outsiders could easily see this if the critics were allowed to gain a major media platform.

Whether autism research is similarly corrupted by poor design and reasoning we don’t know. Certainly the parents of autistic children and their supporters are sure there is a correlation between vaccines and their child’s handicap. The suspicion that the mercury in vaccines was causing the problem seems now, however, to be ruled out, since autism diagnoses are as high or higher than ever even though the mercury laden preservative has been removed from vaccines for two years now, we believe. Perhaps you know better.

I guess it didn’t occur to you that the studies just might have been designed and executed by researchers who were fully aware that, if they found that vaccines cause autism, they would be blacklisted from any future research, probably fired or demoted, and their names and reputations dragged through the cesspool. And equally aware that, if they found that vaccines don’t cause autism, they would continue being rich, respected researchers, with ever more funding directed their way by the Faucis of the world.

Yes, I too have skimmed web headlines saying things like “A child has died from a preventable disease” which was in one of the science mags. Why don’t they write stories like that every time a child dies from after-effects of vaccination, which happens so often that the US govt set up a fund to compensate the parents of vaccine-killed and injured children (to spare the drug companies the financial liability). They don’t report those stories, you may have noticed. What causes this curious state of reportorial affairs??? Could it be drug industry influence and ad dollars perchance?

Here is a good article on the Shaken Baby subject by our friend Mohammed Al-Bayati.

On the topic of vaccines they are now reporting that fear of vaccines has resulted in resurgent disease, according to a headline we skimmed in the last few days.

What’s the best reliable – scientifically reliable if possible – website on this topic you would recommend to newcomers?
