I hadn’t realised just how far Obama and McCain were prepared to go in accepting pseudoscience when chasing votes and political power.
Washington Post Fact Checker:
“We’ve seen just a skyrocketing autism rate. Some people are suspicious that it’s connected to the vaccines. This person included. The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it.” –Barack Obama, Pennsylvania Rally, April 21, 2008.
“It’s indisputable that (autism) is on the rise among children, the question is what’s causing it. And we go back and forth and there’s strong evidence that indicates it’s got to do with a preservative in vaccines.” –John McCain, Texas town hall meeting, February 29, 2008.
There is no proven link between vaccinations and autism just as there is no proven link between man-made carbon dioxide emissions and global warming.
