independent autism study in progress

[weliveintheforest]

The Vaccine Resistance movement is doing a study, they are collecting information from people and want input from anyone - vaccinated or not.

This link explains more about it.

Vaccine Resistance Movement is a grass roots, non-profit organization striving for safe alternatives to vaccines; both em powering citizens around the world with the means of self sufficiency while determined to expose vaccine fraud & pharmaceutical industry malfeasance. This study is the culmination of two years of inspired research, energized with the support of a growing community of responsible activists learning how to stand independent of Corporate & Government misdirection.
Hypothesis: It is our goal, through this study, to determine an accurate percentage of those unvaccinated autistic children & adults vs. those unvaccinated children & adults who have not become autistic.

The name of the organization- Vaccine Resistance Movement- as well as it's mission statement, sound pretty biased. What do you mean by "independent"? Not being snarky, but is that a title that applies to anyone who's not a pharmaceutical company? Of course, as I've stated before, I don't put a whole lot of weight behind who funds the study, as long as the research methods are sound and the results are reproducable. I'll be interested to see the results. Do they have an estimate of when the study will be completed/released?

I fixed the interview link, sorry about that.

Yes the organization is biased, but I thought it might be interesting to some of the people on this board. As for calling it 'independent,' that wasn't my choice of title, it's theirs. I'm assuming they are calling it that because it is not being funded by any corporations, but you could contact them to find out more about that. As far as I know, it's pretty much one guy running it, and he makes no money from it. I am not personally involved.

I admit, I do not even know how a good study is done, so I don't know if this will be reproducable... it seems like it's just a survey, and the answers people submit will not be verified except in cases where the person has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.

According to the interview in the link they do not know when the study will be completed, but I am guessing it will take at least a year for them to finish collecting data.
