Age Of Autism Wants Autism Speaks To Shut Up (Dan Olmstead Throws Another Tantrum)

"Dan Olmsted is pissed at Autism Speaks and wants them to shut up and go away, all because of Dr. Dawson's coverage of the IOM report this past week.

Olmsted writes, proving there is no evidence he will consider that will allow him to reconsider his position: "vaccines do cause autism. Yes, the MMR causes autism. Yes, vaccine mercury causes autism. Yes, multiple vaccines too soon and too close together cause autism. They are the main driver of the autism epidemic." And your evidence, sir, that counters yet another IOM report showing they do not? Anecdotes are not evidence.

His second reason is because of the canary study and "Andy Wakefield's brave work, which of course Autism Speaks is too cowardly to get anywhere near, and all the subsequent research that confirms it."

The third reason is even better: Olsted says Autism Speaks is "The Man's favorite autism org."

..."

I guess this shows the dangers of blind faith in something, and the inability to admit one's mistakes. WOW!

3. over 100,000+ for chelation and other quackery....
everyone else in the family pays the price...some people have to blame something and can never admit that the child is what they are and deal with that.

if dan went away another charlatan would take his place
