When you mix science with politics you get disease.

A study in Denmark of all children born between 1991 and 1998 - 537,303 children - found no link between autism and MMR vaccines. In fact, incidence was *lower* in vaccinated children, but they didn’t consider the difference to be statistically significant.

An example of Government waste at it finest.

What's the betting this research "proves" the link?

The thought of scientists producing results-to-order, which is exactly what will happen, is stomach-churning.

Nothing humans do is without political implications, but in its essence Science is apolitical. This is no example of science being “political”- rather it’s partisan politics meddling in Science for ideological ends. It’s right-wing social engineering using the prestige discourse that is Science.

There is so much misinformation going on its overwhelming, I'll just have to arrange for a doctor's appointment if I want to know something about my health, it's the safest way.
