This entry popped up while I was away and I am typing this in Adelaide two days before upload.

The contribution will take too long to take apart piece by piece, but needless to say Taylor is trying to do something similar to Meryl Dorey is here in Australia. Spout lies about the so called dangers of vaccines.

Once I clear the decks, I will be sending a message to the Maine legislature – informing them that they are dealing with a dangerous scaremongerer who knows nothing about vaccines. I will also take a look at what’s proposed and make my own comments – even though I’m not American. This needs to be knocked on the head PDQ and it’s a shame I’m a bit late on it. Hopefully I’m not too late.

Taylor you stupid bitch! Mutual of Omaha isn’t denying Autistic children medical treatment lock stock and barrel! They are simply denying the WRONG treatment! And the WRONG treatment is trying to cure Autism! Because IT CAN’T BE DONE!!

There are simple remedies to food allergies via properly educated nutritional advice. This would be linked to the gut issues. Brain inflammation can also be assisted easily and cheaply without insurance. Only the mitocondrial dysfunction is a problem, but as long as it is treated with respect – no issue.

Taylor’s addition of Diabetes, self injurous behaviour, OCD, ADD, Learning Disabilities and Asthma is out of line and it’s why she should just shut up. And pay no attention to the robot called Anne Dachel.

Oh for goodness sake!

This Japanese study makes two mistakes. The first is obvious – metals in hair (scalp – same thing in effect) have NOTHING to do with functioning levels! This is why Best pressing the hair test for mercury is wrong. It’s for the same reason. The second is not as obvious unless you know what you’re looking for – the lack of NT controls. Zero. If they had they would have found the same issues in NT children and bang goes their theory.

Taylor proves she is stupid linking this article. And desperate.

Ginger Taylor, you fail at economics with this comparison.

While reading a book called “Economics in One Lesson”, she decided to compare economic policy with medical policy – and used it to go right out after the government and it’s assistance to pharmaceutical companies.

She quotes two basic tenets of economics which actually are quite right;

1. That bad economic policy stems from pressing agendas that benefit one group, but do not consider the outcomes for other groups (usually pushed through by moneyed/powerful interests that “will hire the best buyable minds to devote their whole time presenting its case.”)

2. That bad economic policy stems from short term thinking and ignores the long term consequences of such policies.

But in an instant, Taylor goes off the beaten track and makes two big mistakes. First – she thinks that point one fits Big Pharma to a tee. Since when does Big Pharma dominate medical policy? There’s more to medical health than pills, drug and vaccines you stupid woman!! Not to mention the fact that other groups ARE considered – because without them there wouldn’t be a demand for Big Pharma’s products no matter what you think of them!

Second, and in a more disgusting tone, she compares short term thinking to former CDC head Julie Gerberding claiming that a reduction in measles cases is a better result than;

18% of children are permanently disabled or delayed, half of children are suffering from autoimmune/chronic illness and more than 1% have this neurological condition called, “Autism” that didn’t exist 70 years ago and that we know is caused by vaccines.

BULLSHIT!!

For a start, where does this 18 percent figure come from? Out of her rear end? And what are these disabilities or delays? Second, half of children having auto immune issues? How about moving away from medicinals and start attacking food preparation, poor diets and so on? That’s where those problems are! And of course as all the readers of my blogs know very well – Autism did exist 70 years ago (1942). It existed almost 120 years ago! It was called youth dementia! Not to mention my own belief that it existed 215 years ago – the Wild Boy of Aveyron! Autism is NOT caused by vaccines and the real world knows this very well!

The human body is far more complex than economics. It’s true that economists are looking for quick fixes. That’s why the Fiscal Cliff is such a threat that they failed to see coming. I knew it was coming and I’m not even a qualified economist. It’s just plain common sense – money doesn’t grow on trees. And that’s where economics and medical issues go off in different directions and can not be compared. The human race is far more diverse and obviously Taylor is not willing to explore those differences – of which Autism is one, and even within itself it is complex – not just simply caused by vaccines!

A perfect example of how little Taylor understands about Autism is revealed in her Autistic son’s fixation with breaking glass. She thinks it has something to do with the sound. I don’t think she can make that judgment. It could just as easily be a protest from her son. He knows that every time he breaks glass, Mum will come running. It’s the routine. He wants Mum in his world, but she keeps going away. If only he knew that she hated the condition he has and just wants it to go away. Confront it, you failure of a parent! Find out why he does it and address that, instead of wasting energy with this useless fight against vaccines! You have to accept Autism – not fight it. It’s just possible also that her son may even be aware of the hate. Now of course breaking glass isn’t the way to go about protesting that, but then that’s the lack of social instinct at work. He doesn’t know it’s wrong. All he sees is Mum come running, but then she goes away when she should be staying. That’s my present theory upon reading that.

Another lie to call out – where does Thomas Insel say that 80 percent of Autism cases are environmental? Or if he did what was the context? I call BS on that claim, because we all know that Autism is genetic in origin. There is an environmental factor, but it’s not in causation. It’s in regression. Now whilst I agree that $700 million for research is rubbish, that is not what caused the prevalence rate to double. Lack of services is what caused that, and THAT is where the money should be going! Does Taylor call for that? Nope! There are treatments and lots of them (ABA is just one of the multitudes, and the GFCF diet is another), but Taylor thinks they don’t exist or are useless. That’s another fail right there, and an epic one at that! So if she is so worried about “broken windows” she is certainly going out of her way to prevent it herself! And I can’t think of a better way to make sure the windows keep on breaking by blaming Autism on vaccines.

It will take too long to go back over some recent entries, but the latest one that I am replying to from November 18 is a good spot to start responding to Taylor’s junk.

She refers to a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I decided to check the site because I have an old fashioned view of what is available to be studied at such places. I stand corrected in this case. Having said that though, why is this study coming from a Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab? That’s a fail from the get go because there is no way any real accuracy can be acquired from that department!

The second problem was picked up by someone called Rick Gregory in the comments – the idea that Autism has a relationship with a “compromised immune function”. He questioned that, causing Taylor to fire back no less than 12 abstracts attempting to prove the point. All of them presumably was collected from PubMed given the link she gave at the end, claiming there were more there. Rick was quick to point out that none of them proved anything more than speculation. This is the bread and butter of people like Taylor – speculation = fact. It doesn’t. Problems with immunity is not something that is exclusive to those on the Spectrum.

The third problem lies in the study’s methodology. By their own admission, this was derived from “word frequency patterns” from the database that the Center for Disease Control in the US uses to record vaccine injuries (the infamous VAERS database). IIRC it is well known that the database is incomplete due to not all injuries being reported. That’s aside from the inherent issues with context in such a narrow search band. The study also included an uncredited “literature review” about the toxicity in aluminium in human beings. That’s misrepresentative because that applies to all metals, and besides that – if there was any truth to it, why are we still drinking out of aluminium cans? This led to a conclusion that Taylor bolded;

We propose that children with the autism diagnosis are especially vulnerable to toxic metals such as aluminum and mercury due to insufficient serum sulfate and glutathione.

I don’t buy the lack of glutathione in Autistics. According to Wikipedia, any deficiencies can be overcome with Calcitriol. This is an active metabolite in Vitamin D, so all that needs is sunlight. All the more reason to have Autistics outdoors and not locked up, but more importantly this would be something that would be a more general issue than just with Autism. There is no information that I could find at a glance about serum sulphate, so I have to assume that’s related and falls foul of the same problem.

So this study is junk. The methodology stinks, and it doesn’t prove what it sets out to prove. It’s nothing more than speculation at best, much like what Rick Gregory said about the studies Taylor listed in the comments.
