      Infuriating. "@billmaher agreed with a controversial doctor, repeating a debunked theory that it was ‘realistic’ that vaccines have caused autism in children" https://www.businessinsider.my/bill-maher-real-time-vaccines-cause-autism-anti-vaxxer-2019-11/#.Xb2_nFoD4dg.twitter … So wrong. And so harmful. Giving oxygen to this bunk has a REAL TIME impact. Has Maher lost it?

      Yup. He also seems blissfully unaware that, scientifically, saline is not the only valid placebo that can be used. Indeed, arguably a better placebo in many cases is to use a solution of everything but the active ingredient; i.e., the antigens.

      Similarly, in the case of diseases for which an effective vaccine already exists, it is UNETHICAL to use a saline control because it’s unethical to leave the control group vulnerable to the disease. In these cases, the a valid and ethical control is the existing vaccine.

          Are you familiar with veterinarians studying dosage and frequency of boosters in dogs? The findings are concerning. Are there studies showing we're using the safest and lowest effective amount of vaccine to minimize risk?

          Vets have already looked at recent vaccine dose studies and find no credible evidence that there is any issue with small dogs getting a full vaccine dose. https://skeptvet.com/Blog/2016/02/evidence-update-dodds-study-on-vaccine-dose-in-small-breed-dogs/ …
