Autism and Kooks
"Autism" has become a vehicle by which leftist kooks are attempting to USE the anguish of parents to take on the pharmeceutical industry, and even the entire U.S.A. (REverend Wright style) with irrational, paranoid fantasies (see previous two entries). At some point, these kooks even merge with the anti-flouride type koks (the far left and far right CAN merge at the extremes, but it is ONLY the far left that now gets ACADEMIC, "educated" support). Following is the lead paragraph of the actual story of a single, civil trial proceeding in Oregon (note how the first paragraph begins with the FACT that there is not EVIDENCE of any connection between vaccines and autism, and then proceeds directly into the fantasy world of leftist hype, which constituted much of the rest of the story, describing an Oregon civil suit heading for trial).
"The Institute of Medicine said in 2004 there was no credible evidence to show that vaccines containing the preservative thimerosal led to autism in children. But thousands of families have a different take based on personal experience."
If you doubt that the autism "movement" is being hijacked by extreme leftists, and other kooks, consider the comments below (which appeared under this AOL/AP story), and my responses to the kooks:
"The US Center for Desase Control has samples of every bateria or virus used and discovered. The CDC refused to relaease samples of the Polio Vaccine used by the Belgium Government in the Congo back in the 1950 so scientists could clear up their susspicions of AIDs origin. CDC and FDA know the cause of Autism."
Who let Reverend Wright loose to post on this board? Does Barack Obama KNOW that he has escaped confinement?
Seriously, thisis the kind of KOOKISM that this whole autism "movement" both feeds, and feeds upon. It is actually EVIL stuff, without real evidence. See the first pargarph of this story, and you will realize that there is NO evidence that vaccines caused autism.
You want more:
"Many of these redesigned vaccines are DNA derrived and manufactured. These vaccines were originally derrived from animal proteins which are more expensive to manufacture. DNA reasearch is equivalent to pulling control rods out of nuclear power plants to record what happens as was done at Three Mile Island and Cherynoble."
The above leftist kook even dragged in Three Mile Island!!!!!!!
Q.E.D. Leftist kooks out there are out of control. And here they have been joined by anti-vaccine nuts and the tin foil hat crowd. We will be lucky if the REAL stury of autims is not set back a hundred years. I assure you that the above quoted kooks are NOT taken "out of context". You had people on AOL questioning everything from the polio vaccine to antidepressants and pesticides (or other chemicals). You even have the usual AOL opinion "poll", as if OPINION matters when there is NO EVIDENCE. If you have an opinion, without any evience, it just shows you are STUPID. I have given the example before of taking an opinion poll on whether 2 plus 2 equals 5.
Here is my reaction to the actual AP/AOL story (disgraceful in its own way), quoting the key paragraph describing the lawsuit in question:
"Two 10-year-old boys from Portland, Ore., will serve as test cases to determine whether many of the children and their families should be compensated.."
Is the above true? Nope. ONE civil case does NOT "determine" whether others will be compensated. After appeals, the MOST this case can do is establish a rule in Oregon that such cases will not be dismissed out of hand (as I am confident they wuld be under present rules on scientific evidence in Texas).
See first paragraph of the AP story (quoted near the beginning of this entry). There is NO scientific evidence that vaccines have caused autims. Anecdotal "evidence" and OPINION does NOT substitute for scientific evidence--at least not in either medical science or Texas jurisprudence.
I have (correctly) included the idea that there is any real EVIDENCE that vaccines have caused autism as kooky in my "you are a kook ii:" series in my AOL blog, "The Maverick Conservative".

Of course, the message of vilence is somewhat selective. For FASCIST Akmadinejad and other enemies of the United States, TALK is always the answer.
The infatuation of so many students and academics with Obama probably tells you a lot more abuot who now controls a good part of ur education system than it does abuot Obama. Obama, however, was an instructor for a time, and TALKS like an Adlai Stevenson "egghead"--although with more oratorical elegance. I think we can say that both Mr. and Mrs. Obama are conspicious products of our left leaning educational system.
