  • Congress Holds An Anti-Vaccination Hearing

    From here:

    Message to Congress: science isn’t easy, and autism is complicated.  Don’t criticize science when it doesn’t give you the answer you thought you knew.  That’s not how science works.  Thousands of scientists are now trying to identify the causes of autism, and they’ve made progress, especially on the genetic front.  The answer might not be simple, but we will find it.
