Inconclusive "Evidence" Against There Being An MMR/Autism Link--David Thrower
Autism, MMR and 60 Minutes Another Pediatrician's Perspective
Letter: Crazy People Who Believe Vaccines Played a Role in Autism
"It is clear that the study was commissioned to dismiss the hypothesis that there
may exist a relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism. In reality the study is
fatally flawed and statistically inadequate. Despite clear findings supporting the
relationship hypothesis, the authors discard their own clearly unexpected, statistical
findings and manipulating the results to ‘prove’ their own pre-existing
hypothesis.
This approach, coming from the Medicines Control Agency, is an
outrageous attempt to pervert public perception of the potential relationship between the
MMR vaccination and autism.
In the continuing interests of the children and adults represented by
our organisation, AiA calls for the resignation of all key members of the Study Group, on
the grounds that they are prepared to place a skewed and feeble study into the public
arena in an attempt to defend the MMR vaccination."---Allergy Induced Autism organisation press release
" The Taylor study is seriously flawed in many ways, as had been noted in a number of letters to the editor of The Lancet and in a number of additional letters on the subject which have been posted on the internet. It was subject to strong attack at a recent meeting of the British Statistical Society. I have been a full-time researcher my entire professional life, for almost 50 years, and I respectfully asked Dr. Taylor for a copy of the data so that I could reanalyze them. He refused this ordinary professional courtesy, and I have subsequently written to the editor of The Lancet requesting that an impartial committee be asked to reexamine Dr. Taylor’s statistical methods. If he refuses again, I urged The Lancet to retract his paper."--Dr Rimland

"Something is going on, whether it is vaccines, pesticides, plasticisers in food, or whatever. The research the Government has provided in defence of MMR is flawed." ---Dr Shattock.
"Without hesitation, everyone except Dr Taylor said yes. Dr Taylor refused. You would think that if he was as certain as the others that his science was absolutely rock solid, there would have been no hesitation. But with this issue, we are not talking about medicine or children’s lives – we are talking about politics. And I would go further and say that in my opinion those vehemently denying any association between MMR and autism have scant regard for the children involved – they seem to fixate solely on the percentages vaccinated, and their own self-defence – the impact of negative articles on their reputation, prestige, and validity of previously published comments, and Wall Street shares."--Hilary Butler
