Japanese Data Shows Vaccines Cause Autism
By Clifford Miller
In
March 2005 a paper by two Japanese psychiatrists, Hideo Honda and Yasuo
Shimizu, was published in an English psychiatric journal with English
psychiatrist Professor Sir Michael Rutter also named as an author. The
paper was claimed to be proof MMR vaccine could not cause autistic
spectrum disorders: ‘No effect of MMR withdrawal on the incidence of
autism: a total population study', Journal of Child Psychology and
Psychiatry (HERE).
The study was trumpeted by news media across the world once again as
the final nail in the coffin of the Wakefield hypothesis. Within days
doubts began to emerge about the authors' interpretation of their data,
and there were other inexplicable features to the study, though these
were barely reported. In a new post on ChildHealthSafety Clifford
Miller explores the background to the study and analyses supplementary
data supporting an association between vaccination and autism (HERE ).
Clifford Miller is a practising UK lawyer, and graduate physicist of Imperial College, London. In 2007 he organized the successful defence and exoneration of London GP Jayne Donegan HERE against charges of giving misleading evidence on vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Comments:
Unfortunately, they are trying to force flawed data to fit their hypothesis. I think interpretation of the graph does not necessarily point to Autism. Autism takes time to develop/diagnose. Therefore, A direct rise in incident the same year there is an increase in vaccination compliance seems misleading. Shouldn't the rise in Autism occur a year or 2 after the increase in compliance?
That was a great study..I don't know how you can argue with that. The graph is undeniable.
