Default The Amish and autism

See:

http://www.medpagetoday.com/Neurology/Autism/tb/2954

This article also demonstrates why it is really epidemiologically
dangerous to apply information from genetically-homogeneous populations
to the general population. I read the NEJM article and it does not
mention vaccination history of their population. Considering the
"flag-waving" of the anti-vacs, though, it seems to shoot down the
Olmstead et al. "hypothesis".

You don't let facts get in the way of your opinions, eh?

For one thing, it shows that Olmsted is not a very good investigator
since he could not even find these autistic kids.

For another thing, the article points out exactly what I was saying
about this type of population.

Thanks for the post.

Facts? LOL.

Since when did facts get in the way of the medical cartel, all these studies
showed "MMR doesn't cause autism" http://www.whale.to/vaccine/mmr54.html

Sorry, but www.whale-of-a-story.lie has no credibility.

Mark,

This is weird - my previous post in this thread was sent as a reply to
one of john-boy's posts. For some reason, the cross-posting
(misc.kids.health, sci.med, misc.health.alternative) seems to be
screwed up and it appears on the last two groups as a reply to yours,
instead of his. The thread seems broken between groups (I'm using
google groups). I'm not sure what's going on...it must have been
because I added them to the reply?

Google groups is not a NGR.
