2cents,
Correction noted for JAMA study.
Group A – No Sibling ASD, Yes MMR (5 yrs)
86,063 children
792 Autistic (860 × .92)
1:108 Autism diagnosis ratio
—-
Group B – No Sibling ASD, No MMR (5 yrs)
7,735 children
68 Autistic (860 × .08)
1:113 Autism diagnosis ratio
—
Both groups seemingly within equal range – with or without MMR.
Here’s where this all goes to pot…
What caused Autism in group B? “Unidentified Factor Z”
At what ratio does “Factor Z” cause Autism? Let’s think a sec…
Who is at risk for “Factor Z”? (Brace for impact…)
Everyone! 93,798 children (MMR shot doesn’t reduce risk for “Factor Z”)
Risk for “Factor Z” = 93,798 children
Who developed “Factor Z” Autism = 68 children
93,798 – 792 (MMR Autistic children) = 93006
93006 ÷ 68 = 1,367
“Factor Z” Autism Diagnosis ratio:
1 out of every 1,367 children
vs.
MMR Autism Diagnosis ratio:
1 out of every 108 MMR vaccinated children
True?
