Great review of a pretty good book: Autism's False Prophets

Many people can be found "making the mistake of starting with the premise that pharmaceutical companies are inherently evil. I think we can all agree that the safe use of pharmaceutical drugs has saved billions of lives. That isn't to say that these companies don't want to make a profit, nor am I saying that they are beyond reproach. But is it profitable to create a vaccine that causes autism or SIDS?"

Read the review, then read the book. Become a skeptic ...and look for evidence.... and follow the evidence rather than starting with a theory and finding evidence to match it. The blog post can be found here:

Resources: Vaccines, Autism and Real Science

Science-Based Medicine now has a great overall listing of their reports on vaccines and autism. This resource is comprehensive and can be found here. While the anti-vac people spread psuedo-science, this resource will help you understand the many many holes in their arguments.

Remember, get you information from a doctor, not a celebrity, activist or politician.
