and...what's your point? If someone questions any of those things - what's your point?
My point is, that unless you have an idea how how things work, your knowledge and experience will fail you. "OMG the fire wasn't hot enough to melt steel!" = "The film in those cameras would have melted in the heat of the sunlight on the moon!". The "common sense" you rely on in everyday life hasn't prepared you for the experience you are trying to use your common sense and intuition against, so you can't instinctively KNOW something is wrong, there are all sorts of things you have to know and understand that the average person doesn't.
That was my point. And to make fun of people that think the moon landings are fake.
Are you insinuating that Popular Mechanics is somehow the God of all knowledge?
Ah, the old trick to try to make it look like I am saying something I ain't. Nice try, but fail. Never said or insinuated it and if you thought I did, you really need to brush up on the reading comprehension.
Does a vaccine cause autism? Some doctors think there's a link some don't...but when you hear of cases like Pizer conning the masses and getting away with it just because they can - why would you just roll over and believe every thing you hear...just because they make sure you hear it? It's healthy to question and it's healthy to be skeptical and it's healthy to make your own decisions from many sources.
Multiple studies done by many groups, large independant studies. No link. Just sticking your fingers in your ears and going "OMGZ BIG COMAPNY CAN HAZ BAD DRUGS KILLNNG EVARYONE CONSPICARY CAN"T PROVE IT DOESN"T AXIST!" isn't a healthy way to question. Which is pretty much what a lot of the moon, 9/11 and autism beleivers do when evidence that doesn't fit their pre-defined narrative does.
Again, you don't use science to prove you are right, you use science to become right.
Yes...and she, along with many, many, many others have also come out and claimed success with strict diets and behavior modification. Yet a lot of parents don't go along with that program because it's labor intensive on their part - especially the behavior modification. Many, many doctors won't go along with her method either because there is no money in it for them - ditto counselors, therapists, special ed workers, teachers..there's a whole industry that has grown up around autism. Does that make all of the Jenny McCarthy's crazy now because what they do is against the norm? Apparently.
Well gee, I never said any of that so it must be your opinion. BTW, IF that is your opinion, it would seem that therapists would make more money since behavior modiication would take more time than just prescribing a drug. That means more visits, more money, more special ed teachers needed. Yet you think they are against because...doing nothing makes them money? Perhaps you didn't think your cunning theory all the way through.
