Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 What I find interesting about this latest M.I.N.D. Study is that the timelag between the tested population (autists born between 1990 and 2000) and this study's completion/publication is that most of the media blurbs and certainly the appologists' opinions will state that this proves vaccines couldn't have done it. Most people do not bother to actually read anything other than the most basic conclusion and will assume (and project) that since this study was conducted in 2009 it proves thimerosal isn't the cause. When will M.I.N.D. look at the autists born between 2000 and 2008 and see if autism is less frequent or less severe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 To the group I have heard about about the Principal Dr. Irva Hertz-Picciotto,very serious and her work in epidemiology is grade A . But more importantly , this paper will attract the attention of other epidemiologist and more than likelly insight them to do further epidemiological work in the field of autism. it is notable to mention , that past studies such as Pinolta (2000), Kayle (2001) , Dale (2001) , ( 2002), Fombonne (2002) , Madsen- Hviid (2003) , Vertraten (2003) & Fombonne (2006). All these authors do not have a doctoral degree epidemiology , most had serious conflict of interest and following there review where found to incoporate flawed/bias data or poor methodology. Dr. Irva Hertz-Picciotto does not have this bagages , a individual with a doctoral degree in epidemiology do not produce Fluff studies. My second point relates to the fact , that over the last 3 years a group of parents in Montreal have been number crunching the data from the Quebec Ministery of Education , Stat Canada , CRDI DATA and Observation in actual school. What I find trully stunning , is that about 3 weeks ago , we where double checking the data from 1984 to 2008 , in regards to Asperger autism ( not specified ) and Autism define by the DSMIV diagnostic criteria. We had noted that the Graph for Asperger was different from Autism ( not specified )and Autsim . But more importantly the data after 2001 we are seing very interesting correlation between Autism ( not specified )and Autsim . What I find trully stunning that two population California & Quebec that are situated 3000 miles apart ,with very different methos of tabulating data are producing the same conclusions. - That the growth in numbers from 1980 to 2008 can not be attributed only in the change in diagnsotic protocol or awarness . - Secondly that the introduction of DSMIV protocol , only added approx 20% to the relative numbers. It is trully funny , I have been looking at this data for 3 years I always assume that I had a problem in tabulating , its only after reading Dr. Irva Hertz-Picciotto paper and understood the academic intelectual process to set-up her arguments , that i took 3 days to re-structure the data and came to the same conclusions. there one last thing I would like to say , having done the data crunching myself , what Dr. Irva Hertz-Picciotto did by bringing the california data and merging the info with other data sources is extremelly difficult and time consuming . It takes somebody with great empirical skill to put this together and a strong understanding of the autism phenomena , But know you have a reliable data base to work with in california . I suspect that this first study was design to break the ice on the environmental factor and that there is a Tome II to her study. In quebec we where lucky , all the heavy empirical work had already done for us by the Quebec ministery of Education .But what we did not have in our group is someone of her caliber to understand the nuances of data. I suspect she already has certain elements in place to produce a second paper , that will confirm that after 2000 , that there is a decline in " Growth rates " and that the reduction growth is related to a significant drop in relative numbers associated to a specific subgroup , that can be define as Severe autism with multiple handicap. I would keep an eye on her , Pierre 1 > > ...when the individuals funding MIND Inst. care about it; so far, they are spending their time proving that they are not biased one way or the other on the " question.
