22. Damned if they do, damned if they don't

Mixed with some self-fulfilling prophecy.

Anti-vaxxers screed about vaccines causing autism and call for research to be done. If the studies aren't done, they scream "Big Pharma shills!" and keep on going. When the studies are done and show they're claims are completely bogus, they scream "Big Pharma shills!" and screed over why the medical community wastes time investigating a supposed "non-cause", completely oblivious to the fact that the studies were done specifically because of their screeds.

So, perhaps anti-vaxxers can stop focusing on a non-cause and worry about actually finding the causes instead of wasting everyone's time.
