      If what you are saying is correct that is great news but why don’t the parents of all the autistic children not know this? Where is this liability lawsuit? I’m very interested in learning more about this. Thanks

      That makes no sense. Vaccines don't cause autism. I accept your apology.

      The CDC has twice done research that found links between vaccines and autism. Vaerstraten 1999 or 2000 and DiStefano 20??, the one where DrWilliam Thompson whistleblower that he was ordered to destroy data and did.

      Incorrect. Those are debunked conspiracy theories. Are you new here? The data was never destroyed. It remained on the CDC server for anyone to view. It was released to the public by a pro-vaccine autism advocate & it proved no fraud or cover up.

      http://whale.to/a/simpsonwood_meeting.html … Click on the transcript link at the top. This is the meeting where they discussed Vaerstraten’s research and the coverup of it. The two articles sum it up and are linked also.

      That’s a conspiracy theory website that traffics in anti-Semitic holocaust denial propaganda. Even so that is all based on an ingredient removed from vaccines decades ago. Have autism rates gone down since then?

      It's also a 20-year-old conspiracy theory that we old timers demolished when @RobertKennedyJr first published it almost exactly 15 years ago today. Let's just put it this way. The transcript doesn't show any conspiracy or coverup or data manipulation.https://skeptico.blogs.com/skeptico/2005/06/robert_f_kenned.html …

      I read the whole thing back in the day, and let's just say that I was underwhelmed by it as evidence of any sort of malfeasance. What I saw were scientists soberly addressing a concern and examining the evidence. https://oracknows.blogspot.com/2005/06/skeptico-reads-simpsonwood-transcript.html …

      I also examined @RobertKennedyJr's conspiracyfest of an article that popularized the Simpsonwood conspiracy theory. It was full of cherry-picking, unsupported assertions, and, yes, conspiracy mongering. http://oracknows.blogspot.com/2005/06/saloncom-flushes-its-credibility-down.html …

      Seriously, though. Antivaxxers who dredge up RFK Jr.'s 15-year-old conspiracy theory as a "gotcha" amuse me. They seem to think that science communicators have never heard of it or hadn't demolished it when it first hit the press 15 years ago this month.

      The resurrection of this zombie conspiracy theory is a good teaching opportunity, though. It demonstrates that nearly all antivaccine conspiracy theories take the same form.

          The form antivax conspiracy theories take is the insinuation that "they" (be they the @CDCgov, the medical profession, big pharma, etc.) "know" that vaccines cause autism/SIDS/autoimmune disease/all the other things antivaxxers blame them for, but are covering up the evidence.

          The Simpsonwood conspiracy theory from 15 years ago takes that form, that the CDC "knew" that thimerosal in vaccines caused autism but covered it up—at the Simpsonwood conference, of course!
