The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)

**
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Just like the vaccines cause autism study, this won't ever die out. People only ever remember the original.
And only partially so. Conveniently, they forget the part where, IIRC, guy was just trying to promote his own vaccine
Ironic. It wasn't his own vaccine. It was two vaccines that he held stock in.
His name was on the patent. There was a second name on it as well, and that guy was someone whom the first cited. This second guy lost his license two years before publishing his paper, that the infamous one cited.
All of you are wrong.

He had a bad study linking autism to certain vaccines and wanted to sell test kits.
He both wanted to sell test kits and have his own vaccine.
You're the most wrong lol.
He put out the study stating a link between the MMR vaccine and bowel disorders. Further stated that autism was caused by bowel disorders.
He advocated people to take the seperate vaccines not not the single MMR vaccine. At the time of the study he was developing his own vaccine and had a stake in another, meaning his study had a strong monetary motive.
He would become and anti-vax hero even though he wanted people to take more vaccines, not none.
Yeah, I tried explaining this to a "dog person" and they wanted no part of it. It was like telling a child Santa Claus wasn't real or something
also the microwave study, learned about that one from my sister.
And just like marijuana leads to heroin.
MSG = cancer
