Putting words into other people's mouth is reprehensible. You have no idea why the writers put those comments in their article, do you? You've just made this up; parents, lawsuits, afflictions etc.
Why not read the actual research paper? It was explained why they said what they did and it's obvious they do not have to have someone like you reinterpret it. The link to it is right at the top of the article you mentioned. Why not refer to that? This is the conclusion:
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10....00003/full
"Conclusion: This pilot epidemiologic analysis implies that the onset of some neuropsychiatric disorders may be temporally related to prior vaccinations in a subset of individuals. These findings warrant further investigation, but do not prove a causal role of antecedent infections or vaccinations in the pathoetiology of these conditions. Given the modest magnitude of these findings in contrast to the clear public health benefits of the timely administration of vaccines in preventing mortality and morbidity in childhood infectious diseases, we encourage families to maintain vaccination schedules according to CDC guidelines."
Tell you what - you contact the authors of the actual paper the article is based upon and ask them if their conclusion was based on saving their arses. Post their verified responses here. Until that happens, please don't make claims without evidence.
And yes, Obie, I found EW's site to be credulous. It's typical tactics. Find something weird, tell your friends, post it on the internet and then form some nutty group that couldn't see reality if it hit them in the face and then deflect.
When I get back to being full-time I think I'll try and come up with a kook-spotting guide. Carl Sagan did his excellent Baloney Detection kit...

...but might be able to tailor it a bit.
I don't reply to you anymore because you are rude and condescending Tom.
