So to the pro-vaccine people - give me a break. <BR/><BR/>In a perfect world I could believe what came out of a candidate's mouth....we all know we don't live in a perfect world. I won't truly know if they are sincere about finding the cause and funding research until they are in office and their actions will speak louder than words. <BR/><BR/>I agree with jim by the way on his Austim Speaks comment...I've thought they lacked substance for a while now. Glad I'm not the only one. The intent may be there, but no follow through in my opinion. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your blog and keep it up!Lynna Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500011890113673778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-91890713405086022222008-04-22T12:43:00.000-04:002008-04-22T12:43:00.000-04:00" The science right now is inconclusive, but we ha..." The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it."<BR/><BR/>But has Obama <I>looked</I> at the science? Has he looked at the work (I assume published somewhere) of Boyd Haley on how Hg affects mito function? Has he looked at the work of Blaylock speculating about the orgins of neuroimmunity?<BR/><BR/> Will the next president fund, pronto, and off-label trial of Enbrel to see if it helps with autism via a neuro-inflammatory mechanism? Why isn't Autism Speaks doing this NOW (aside from the fact that AS does very little of substance ever)? Or ARI for that matter? Or the Neuroscience center that's doing the work with Alzheimer's? (it's off-label use, so I'd think that most onerous FDA-trial requirements would be off the table. An in-house IRB, informed consent, and go).<BR/><BR/> When are these people going to start LOOKING at the science that is already there?<BR/><BR/>"So the remarks by McCain and Obama not only reflect good science, they reflect good politics as well"<BR/><BR/> Unfortunately true - if any of the candidates truly came out in support of a "very probably link based on the most current scientific hypotheses", it would be political suicide - or a ticket to victory, given the number of ASD parents out there. Suicide that is, unless they ALL came out in favor of it?<BR/><BR/> Would there be a way to get all three candidates in a room together, along with the major "no link" studies, the counter-arguments (and published counter-studies where they exist - Denmark for example), the anecdotal evidence (no autism in the Amish), the emerging science on neuroimmunity and how Blaylock's speculations (actual findings?), Hayley and what he has to say, some expert on BPA (it does disrupt mitochondria), an expert on cellular effects of ultrasound, etc, etc.<BR/><BR/> AND immunologists to take a "middle ground" path with vaccines - immunologists who study not just *vaccines*, but the *immune system*, and know just how awe-inspiringly complex it is and how many things can possibly go wrong.<BR/><BR/> And have a 3 or 4 hour presentation (could any of the candidates spare that much time? Heck, the election IS only what - about 7 months away?), and GIVE them the science so they might be able to make up their own mind.<BR/><BR/> Maybe include one or two pro-vaccine people just to be "fair and balanced". We know where the balance of truth lies here..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10951570753949444116noreply@blogger.com
