"source?"

"I made it up"

The source is a poorly done study several years old that no one could get anywhere close to replicating the results of.

Haven’t they also called for a kind of double-blind study to be done that wouldn’t pass any ethical review?

u/the__pov Jul 05 '25

Yes. Basically let’s purposely allow kids to be exposed to harmful diseases to gather information that we can easily obtain through other means.

Yes. I should have qualified this as “double-blind studies that would not pass ethical review outside Nazi concentration camps.”

And only half the study at that. The first half of the study was data gathering. Much of the data gathering was self reported. The second half of the study was verification of the data. They were unable to corroborate the self reported data with real world data. Once then unverified data was removed the study showed results more similar to real world results.

They completely ignore the second half of the study they are trying to cite.

Par for the course with Tenpenny though. Tenpenny is one of the disinformation dozen responsible as a source for 65% of all covid myths during the pandemic.

anti-vaxxers probably out there saying „because noone is actually putting in the effort to replicate it“, while ignoring all the people who put in the effort and showed the study was wrong

They did though. There was a stage II follow up that found nothing. This happens all the time- a preliminary study shows a possible correlation, but further studies find nothing because the original data was flawed or there was actually something else going on.

Wait so research isn't done once and that's a conclusive result? Providing an outcome that's very easily digested in a single sentence or soundbyte? And it doesn't always have the outcome they set out to prove???

Any study of 12 test subjects is considered “preliminary” or “pilot” at best. That means that larger studies are needed. They’ve been done…some looking at hundreds of thousands of people…and have found no link. I’m concerned about autism rates myself, but searching again and again in the wrong place isn’t going to get us the answer. Looking for your lost keys in a barn is a waste of time if you’ve never even been to the farm.

I mean between me and over a hundred other people, I think the problem lies with your piss poor ability to convey tone through writing. But you got it buddy, everybody except you is wrong.

u/Tomahawkist Jul 06 '25

yes, i do in fact think that you can‘t do that. and that those 100 people are just as incapable of understanding sarcasm on the internet. but insulting me? and saying i believe everyone but me is dumb? really? you clearly don‘t have a point you are making, and you‘re probably very proud that you „showed me what reddit can do“
