(4,959 posts)- among other things and it's highly diverse. The place is permeable, you can contact the site's authors and request the journal specific material or otherwise converse. I invite you to dig into AOA and attempt to debunk specific claims rather than reflexively reject the site. I think you owe it to yourself to get these issues right, especially if it's your work.
Your cavalier dismissal strikes me as being more defensive than anything else, but it's sadly the norm among health professionals by virtue of their training UNLESS personally affected. Certainly the physicians in my family rabidly share your assessment, although there is no valid justification for refusal to give the slightest consideration to these ahead-of-the-curve and highly informed parents, eg. MN resident, Somali immigrant, autism parent and AOA Contributor Abdulkadir Khalif. Read: http://www.ageofautism.com/abdulkadir-khalif/
In the Jake Crosby post you claim to have rejected without reading, TWO peer-reviewed studies are cited referring to TIMING, not outright elimination. Besides timing, it is my understanding that specific versions of individual vaccines, including those previously subjected to recall, are the issue.
BTW, the sibling generation of all these children will sort things out, I am certain, although sooner would be better, naturally. Current trends or even the status quo are unsustainable.
