Yeah, I know, I know, I just don't personally know any "hard scientist" who'd be stupid enough to reject vaccination. What I wanted to do was give a concrete example.

I suppose Mayim just believes the fake research of the anti-vaccination people. And at the anti-vacci debate I attended the anti-vacci person was a doctor of pharmacology.

(While we're at it I personally also don't understand how anyone with a scientific education can believe in the traditional idea of God, but some of them do)

But that's the thing: I would never claim only idiots believed the anti-vaxxer thing. I would assume most of them are just uninformed, alongside a handful of idiots.

It's slightly different to disbelieve something that is widely accepted and justified by the work in your own field. It would be like an engineer not believing in basic physics principles: all around ludicrous. It you are a scientist and believe in anti-science theories, you're an idiot, and I stand by that.

(And yes, I get that you were using an anecdote. I'm talking about Mayim in particular.)

Except for the fact that autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Even if no one knows the exact cause, a neuroscientist would damn well know what doesn't cause it, and that list includes vaccines.

[(Anonymous)]

There's an easily disprovable hypothesis here. IF vaccines cause autism THEN autism levels would rise and fall depending on levels of vaccination.

Levels of vaccination have been falling. Levels of autism haven't. The hypothesis that vaccines cause autism is disproved.
