The science here will not make any difference to the corrupt lawyer industry and its toadies like the despicable Eli Stone.

Hey, there’s big money to be made if we get enough crooked judges and jackpot justice juries to buy our quack theories!

Who cares if the lawyers murder innocent children by causing failure to innoculate for preventable serious illnesses?

There is really no convincing people otherwise.
Autism has variable penetrance and quite probably some environmental component. Autistic kids often come from highly functioning adults who harbor just enough autistic habits to make them very high achieving but just a bit odd sometimes.
But the traits that cause parents of autistic children to have autistic children prevent the parents from easily accepting the reality of their own situation. They have the fixation disorder but lack the insight into their own traits to avoid falling into junk science traps.

From the site:

ABC refused, but agreed to air a disclaimer and a link to the CDC’s autism site.

The show’s producers say it is “even-handed” and presents both sides

Even-handed? Am i missing something. There is no independent evidence supporting the autism/vaccine link. PERIOD. following ABC’s reasoning, they should do a story about all the good things Hitler did for his Nazi friends in the 1930’s just to be “even-handed”. When are we going to put this “everybody has an equally important opinion” shit to bed once and for all.
