I hate that woman. What's worse is that the damn media actually takes her seriously, and thus spreads these falsehoods.

a) No study has proven vaccines safe -- ever. No study has even been conducted that actually tried to replicate Wakeman's findings. They very carefully chose a "test" group that did NOT meet the criteria of the original study.
Postulating a conspiracy and massive fraud on the part of the researchers. They'd be found out pretty quickly if they tried that.

b) No other country vaccinates their people as often and as early as we do, yet they do not have vast epidemics of "preventable" diseases either.
Britain doesn't do MMR? They don't vaccinate against polio? Not against meningitis?

I know of several studies that indicate vaccines can and do cause increases in neurological disorders, from ADHD to Tourettes to Autism.
Were any of those studies rigorously conducted, put through peer-review, and published in a respectable scientific journal?

Are you a microbiologist? A toxicologist? A scientist at all?
Microbiology major here. Vaccines trigger immunity to pathogens. It is exceedingly rare for them to interact with other parts of the system.
Even if they did, autism is better than measles.
