1. “1000 people wouldnt have enough power to detemine if there is ANY difference” – don’t understand. please elaborate.
2. “Randomized controlled study would not be ethical”. heard this before (when a friend wanted to debate me and he Googled this question). There are literally thousands upon thousands of families that don’t vaccinate anyways and i’m sure for a few bucks they would participate so this does not make sense.
3. Case studies have to be looked at over many many years taking into account other social factors (for ex. they should be from same class of people.
4. You ask about autism. Just because he was supposedly discredited does not discredit the theory until the above study is conducted.
5. Your aside is not understood. sorry.
6. Google vaccine courts and you will understand that vaccine companies at one point stopped producing vaccines due to lawsuits. The govt. stepped in and made special vaccine courts that have paid out billions for injuries thereby absolving the companies of any liability. There is a surcharge on all vaccines to pay for these injuries.
I want to end by saying that i am by no means an expert on the subject and am searching the truth like everyone else. But, when i see the billions and trillions of dollars that drug companies make every year, i think to myself who am i trusting with my health? There is simply too much money involved to trust the govt. on this. They have to prove to me that is safe, i don’t have to prove that it is unsafe. Until above test is done, i lean more on side of caution.
