trying to sort through information about vaccines and autism when you're not scientifically trained to do so can be a total migraine

Not really. All medical personnel say "have your vaccines, have them on time" (unless there is a serious medical issue). Internet whackos say "No, get measles, it will make you stronger!"

Maybe I'm unclear in what I was trying to say. A few years back, some people were trying to figure out if this unusual vaccination theory actually held any water. Of course, we all now know that it didn't.

If I had to make some assumptions about what DeNiro might have heard about autism and supposed causes of autism, I would sadly look at the magazine rack at my local Barnes and Noble and pick out the small number of magazines aimed at parents of autistic children. I would then point out the numerous ads and articles that imply that autism might be caused by poor diet, heavy metal contamination, vaccines ( still that stupid theory won't die ), artificial dyes, etc., etc. I would then look at the shelves that hold the parenting books for caretakers and parents of autistic children. Anti-vaxxers are given as much shelf space as anybody else who claims they know what is necessary to raise healthy autistic children. There is even a book out that claims that all autistic children are secretly psychic - I kid you not. Point is, until all of these quack types stop publishing, I am going to assume that some foolish people read this stuff and unfortunately believe in it. And this may include Mr. DeNiro. Being rich and/or famous is no guarantee that a person couldn't get suckered into buying the anti-vaxxer credo.

Since DeNiro did eventually decide not to push the film after consulting with some experts, it is my hope that he learned better.

There are a LOT of people who prey on parents of autistic kids. Autism Speaks promotes the 'It MIGHT be vaccines!' for example, and sadly that scam has a lot of support from people who don't know any better.

At least the vaccination thing is slightly, slightly, less horrifying than the groups that promote bleach enemas to 'cleanse' out the autism.
