as a scientifically oriented mind it is very comforting to know that there are people like Dr. Healy who understand how science works and I can see her frustration at seeing how it is handled by the government who in essence understand very little about the immense effort not only in terms of money but also in procedures and re-search. I think politicians should realize that science doesn''t work like government where you can somehow manage or handle situations or outcomes, in science one is basically working blindly and it requires a constant, unvarying approach if one can hope at breakthroughs. I think the fact that we can send rovers to mars and not yet being able to tell whether a child has autism or some other thing really shows how conservative we still are when it comes to the study of human beings

Healy''s story gives the impression that large scale studies of the effects of vaccination on autism occurence are not available. However, there are many such studies using data bases in Denmark, Sweden, England and Canada. The studies have consistently found no association with vaccination or the preservatives in vaccines. This is why professional societies have consistently said that there is very little likelihood that vaccines contribute to autism. However, it now appears that failure to vaccinate is contributing to increased mortality from childhood infectious diseases. Healy has contributed to the irresponsible reporting in this area.
