In reply to the discussion: The legacy of Andrew Wakefield continues [View all]proverbialwisdom
(4,959 posts)49. "Nothing of value in terms of original work or trying to interpret results from other places," oh?
Overview article from 2009 here asserting flawed research used to claim the science has spoken. (Disclaimer: Not my field. I have not personally studied this material. OTOH, I fully respect the vested self-interest, good intentions and integrity of AOA community).

Fourteen Studies? Only if you never read them.
By J.B. Handley
Of all the remarkable frauds that will one day surround the autism epidemic, perhaps one of the most galling is the simple statement that the science has spoken... Anytime a public health official or other talking head states this, you can be assured that one of two things is true: they have never read the studies they are talking about, or they are lying through their teeth.

These comments were driving me nuts. Id read a majority of the studies they were referring to, I knew how bad they were, and I also knew that most journalists couldnt even find the studies being referred to, because most werent even on the web!!
Several hundred hours of work later, Generation Rescue is pleased to introduce a website with a very simple purpose: to tell the truth. You will find every study in its entirety and a whole lot more right here:
http://www.fourteenstudies.org/
Please take a spin, send to friends, and feel free to comment. Anyone who considers themselves to be an honest, objective scientist should be embarrassed for their colleagues who have manufactured this proof over the last 10 years.

IF YOU CAN DEBUNK THIS WORK, BE SURE TO INFORM THE AUTHORS @ AOA AND GR. I'M SURE THEY'D WELCOME YOUR EFFORTS TO ADVANCE THE UNDERSTANDING OF AUTISM.
