The Canary Party is one of the more classic anti-vaccine organizations around. Members include:

Please do not use it as a source at DU. It is nothing but ugly conspiracy theory stuff.

Thank you.

1. Scientific Ignorance

drives me crazy. I was just at the drug store and noticed all of the expensive homeopathic medications on the shelves. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would pay $20 for water, especially when the moon is in Taurus. Really, people, doesn't EVERYBODY know this?

[HuckleB]

2. "New Seasons," a local version of Whole Foods. sells homeopathic crap in the impulse buy section.

Near the cashiers. It's lame, and, yes, many people fall for it.

[elljay]

3. I was at CVS

and they have the homeopathic stuff mixed in with the real medications. If you're going to prey on the naïveté of the gluten-free, superfood, anti-vaxxer suburban housewife crowd, at least segregate the patent medicines from the real ones. I imagine a lot of people are unknowingly duped.

[HuckleB]

4. Oh, they are, I'm sure.

I was at Target with my dad, trying to find some allergy eye drops, as directed by my wife. He found some homeopathic product, right next to the ones on my list, and he almost bought it for himself. I bought him the stuff my wife uses.

Ugh.

5. Overlook all this work? Best of all, no agenda but problem solving.

The CDC announced today an autism rate of 1 in 68 children (1.5% of eight year olds surveyed in 2012) for those born in 2004, unchanged from the last reported rate for children born in 2002. Meanwhile, the United States District Court for the District of Utah is preparing to hear critical motions on April 4th from a former CDC researcher and whistleblower. Although the lawsuit is directed primarily to the University of Utah, the whistleblower has also alleged that the CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network, allowed research misconduct and persistent data errors in their autism prevalence reports. These whistleblower allegations reveal serious concerns over the legitimacy and integrity of the CDC’s management of its widely cited ADDM Network reports.

In documents filed on January 4, 2016 in the Federal District Court, District of Utah, (Case No. 2:13-cv-1131) the former Principal Investigator for the Utah ADDM Network site, Judith Pinborough-Zimmerman asked for the right to a jury trial to adjudicate a range of claims against her employer, the University of Utah, with respect to Zimmerman’s work as an autism researcher for the ADDM Network...

6. Your anti-vaccine agenda is clear for all to see.

Stop.

(Age of Autism. Blaxill. The Canary Party. Etc... etc... You utilize anti-vaccine, anti-science links on a regular basis.)

[proverbialwisdom]

7. Personal attack. Factually inaccurate. Another tedious example of blatant intellectual dishonesty.

9. WTF did I just listen to and what does it have to do with anti-vax cranks? n/t

[proverbialwisdom]

13. Read the MD survey? Explain how that information fits the thread's simplistic framing & reasoning.

That's right, it doesn't. Thwarting #TRANSPARENCY in science is only a temporary fix.

Check out the book, Vaccines 2.0: The Careful Parent’s Guide to Making Safe Vaccination Choices for Your Family (Skyhorse Publishing, February 2015) by Blaxill and Olmsted. It's more similar than different to the views expressed in the survey by AAP subspecialists (official definition: http://www.pedsubs.org/subDes/index.cfm). Whoa, what?

Surprised? Saddened? Stay constructive, just like the song.

[HuckleB]

15. Ah, yes, recommend an anti-vaxer's Bible, but pretend you aren't promoting anti-vax views.

[progressoid]

18. Yeah, don't expect much wisdom (proverbial or otherwise).

[HuckleB]

10. Derp.

12. How'd you edit the Sun Apr 10, 2016, 01:35 PM version on Mon Apr 11, 2016, 11:29 AM w/o red type? nt

[HuckleB]

14. I just edited it.

Why are you here?

8. that's right! cranks are only acceptable if they're corporate cranks!

Career aspirations & industry influence often interfere with knowledge acquisition in scientific research.

20. You really think anyone here doesn't know your actual stance on vaccines?

Why do you try to pretend? It makes no sense.
