Science is about experiments and questioning results

Dude who I mentioned is literally a scientist, who wrote that paper
Again, this is the problem with individuals doing "research"

No citing of sources. No proof.

This is the Brian Hooker you're talking about.

Q: Why did Brian Hooker’s reanalysis of the CDC study show a higher risk of autism in African American boys who received the MMR vaccine?

A: Brian Hooker used a different methodology than the CDC authors did to analyze the data. When collecting data, you must know what type of study you are conducting to ensure you collect the data correctly. Using a different methodology after the data is collected will produce unreliable results. It’s In addition, Hooker manipulated the data to suit his purpose. There were not enough African American boys of a specific age range in the original study to draw any definitive conclusions, so he extended the
age range. This is what epidemiologists calls “The Texas Sharpshooter Effect,” an approach in which someone draws a target around the shots already taken to prove he’s a good shot. Hooker selected data points that supported his theory, rather than allow the data to drive him to a conclusion.


So you read or hear about a black scientist linking vaccines to autism, you share that information with someone, they believe it after doing no "research" at all and decide to not have their child vaccinated.

Then diseases like the measles come back.

This isn't a good thing.
