Here is one post from that blog. It was too funny to not post it

here:

Talk about STUPID!!!!!!!!

Alan Kellogg whoever you are I vote you the most stupidest person in

the world!

" As I understand it, the mercury militia are under the impresson

that autism is something that develops in early childhood, when

research done on the brains of autistic persons indicates a glitch

in embryonic and fetal development.

In short, the autistic are wired wrong, and it's something that

happens during gestation.

Why don't very young infants show autistic behavior? Because the

brains of very young infants are not sufficientyl developed to

exhibit the sort of complex behaviors found in older infants and

young children. In other words, a newborn is simply too stupid to

exhibit autistic behavior. "

Tara C. writes with a glib flipness that will ensure she

always remains an assistant. She's assumed the academic mantle of

hubris, but lacks the brains to back it up. At least with her perky

looks she could model tanks for Abercrombie. I hope she spends more

time researching mercury toxicology, for her mother's sake.

Sounds like she can do bit parts as a pharm rep (go TEAM!).

Maybe even do the surgery for the docs.

You will also see some comments on there from a guy named Orac.

He's some sort of surgeon or something (it's too irrelevant for me

to get his exact credentials). If you see his name, feel free to

ask him two questions.

1) Ask him to explain to you how the Danish studies are relevant and

actually worth the paper they are written on? Hint: He can't and

gets all worked up over the fact that he can't.

2) Ask him to talk about what he thinks about placenta eating? Long

story ...

Orac has been quoted as saying that studying the role of thimerosal

in autism is like " beating a dead horse " . He's a moron.

I've found that it's quite often therapeutic to tease the deniers, but after some point arguing with them is generally not worth the time spent on them.

Hi,

I agree it's generally not worth the time to comment on the blogs, but

from time to time I can't help injecting some reality into their

discussions.

Once mercury is finally and completely removed from childhood

vaccines, I wonder if the Orac's of the world will be sad if the

autism rate continues to drop.

I posted Dr. Lucier's quote onto Tara C. 's website:

Dr. Lucier, toxicologist and former director of the

Environmental Toxicology Program, National Institute of

Environmental Health Sciences says, " Thimerosal contains organic

mercury. Organic mercury is a known developmental neurotoxin and the

fetus and infants are at special risk. Public health policies should

not allow infants to be purposely injected with organic mercury. "

One of my colleagues always says, " Don't stop to stone the devil's

dogs. " But every once in a while it's amusing to indulge in the same

caustic, self-serving posturing some substitute for medical dialogue.
