      To antivaxers “fighting for autistic children” all too often means dangerous and harmful unproven and disproven treatments like chelation therapy, stem cell treatments, restrictive diets, and bleach enemas. https://t.co/94JWFtmMcJ

      So-called evidence-based medicine to treat seizures you support is proven to kill way more people a year than measles did before the vaccine, yet you say drugs that have killed no one are wrong, its people like you that are the problem.

      Citation(s) required from the peer-reviewed medical literature.

      The National Drug-Related Deaths Index, published by the Health Research Board good enough? https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/more-than-730-drug-deathsa-year-909566.html … Pregabalin, used to treat epilepsy. This drug was implicated in 14 deaths in 2013, but jumped to 65 deaths in 2016.

      That's not peer reviewed medical literature. This is a story in a newspaper. Nor does it have anything at all to do with vaccines.

      he was complaining about dangerous treatments, yet is silent about this and routinely writes really bad hit pieces discrediting safe medication that's proven effective at treating epilepsy... I never said it must be from vaccines and how can anyone peer review raw data like that.

      Replying to @gorskon @silversynergy and

      I note that there’s little evidence that just smoking pot decreases seizure frequency and severity, although there is a medicine derived from marijuana that appears to be effective against one type of seizure.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/05/26/a-cannabinoid-decreases-seizure-frequency-in-children-with-dravet-syndrome-and-theres-nothing-miraculous-about-it/ …

          Reaching a conclusion AFTER analyzing the data? Imagine that!
