On the subject of disabled children -especially those purportedly afflicted with “autism”, here’s an article that tends to disprove the "crisis" (that we're always hearing about in the media) between the MMR vaccine and autism:
...
The vaccine/autism causation seems to be another label being promoted by psychiatry rather than the result of a scientifically legitimate analysis of the childhood patients.
Did you happen to read the references you provided? The third one starts out with:
Researchers from the Yokohama Rehabilitation Center in Japan and the Institute of Psychiatry in London evaluated children in Japan during a period when the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine was offered and when it was no longer used to assess any link between the vaccine and cases of autism. The research, published in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, showed that on a population level there is no link.
So your claim that Psychiatrists are promoting this theory is wrong according to the references you provided, since they show that a study done by Psychiatrists showed that there is no link. I don't know why we bother. Your posts are more and more "out there" every day.
