That is not what I'm doing Adam, though I am listening carefully to what parents are describing. You cannot ignore all of these testimonies of children who were well and suddenly showed signs of autistic behavior right after the child was given the vaccine. How much more obvious can the smoking gun be? |
How much more of a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy can that be?
This kind of mistake is exactly why for rational people, actual evidence always trumps intuition, hunches, and anecdotes. |
Unfortunately, by the time they do the studies only to confirm that the parents were correct all along, many children will continue to suffer. |
Again, appeal to future consequences.
