... do I even BOTHER trying to refute people who claim that vaccines cause autism?!

(kmelion, I'm sure you can guess who one of the main culprits is... hint, she keeps trotting out her homeopath's advice.)

Oh, and why is it wrong to inject vaccines into children because of toxins, but it's OK to chelate them? (Chelation is much more toxic and has never been shown to have any benefit.)

It's like banging my head against a brick wall--people saying "but parents said their kids improved after they were chelated!" That's why we do studies, rather than relying on anecdotes! And "it comes down to what you believe..." No, it comes down to observable, testable facts and hypotheses. Either they're so stupid they don't realize doctors and scientists have examined the vaccine-autism "link", or they're, well, so stupid as to believe there's some kind of conspiracy theory to cover it up.
