I'm not sure if he was talking about Dr. Sears' book on the subject, but...FYI...

Kennedy pushed the same propaganda, devoid of science and honesty in that piece.

Exactly.

I'm not the one who is stuck in a box. Your out-of-context claims are stuck in an echo chamber of conspiracy theory. You are not pragmatic at all. You have chosen to ignore evidence. You are all about the conspiracy.

Most of your post is a disconnected mishmash of anecdotal assumptions. When you put it together, it doesn't fit at all.

Your generalized response says nothing. Do you understand that? I doubt it.

How are their policies directly connected to insurance and pharm industries?

You're not making sense. Why would doctors want to vaccinate children against diseases, if they only wanted to treat children for those diseases in order to make more money? Your logic is way off.

I call hogwash on that claim. I know you won't change your story. You can't. It's part of your mythology. But I know those people would not say such a thing. I know what they advocate, and it's the opposite of your story. Also, lots of parents have made great progress with kids with autism at OHSU. What does your claim about "alternative medicine" have to do with anything?

At the end of the day, it appears that OPB and TOL were after one thing with this show: Ratings. The quality of the content did not matter. The program allowed a full airing of unsubstantiated claims, with very little rebuttal by those who are researching this topic. The physician bashing on the show, and on this board, is ludicrous. The physicians I know -- and I've known a lot of them over time -- deeply care about their patients and the families they serve, and they also deeply care about evidence-based practice.

Doing so in an environment where some parents choose to ignore science in favor of the hyped-up anecdote is difficult. Yet most physicians do a very good job with this. Yes, there are always horror stories, many of which occurred before many of today's parents were born. Again, those anecdotes serve very little purpose other than to build a wall between good information and bad information.

Darryn Sikora is the last person who would tell someone to "let go of" a child with autism. While your GP may not have recognized or even performed a screen for autism, that does not mean he or she lied about it. It simply means that he or she is a family doc that does not do all the screens he or she should do.

I am sorry, but your story about OHSU does not ring true at all.

So you claim that scientists are all shills, and your anecdotes are the real truth? Your "research" equals picking and choosing "information" that supports your world view, which is clearly a view that makes everything a battle, and everyone out to get you. I'm sorry, but that's the kind of research that leads to good outcomes for anyone.
