THE VACCINATION HOAX

Here's one I chose at random. Maybe I've found a hobby during isolation:

Despite calling herself “Dr. Amy,” and despite her use of diagnostic testing and prescribing therapeutic agents to treat autism and other medical conditions, Yasko is not a licensed medical doctor or naturopathic doctor (in fact, she’s ineligible for licensing) or on the faculty of any university. Nor is she an autism researcher, at least as that term would be understood among actual autism researchers.According to her resume, Yasko has a Ph.D. in Microbiology/Immunology & Infectious Diseases from Albany State Medical College. In the 1980s through the early 2000s, she did research and published in respectable journals. She helped start two companies involved in the development of drugs and DNA synthesizers and holds several patents. But, sometime in the early 2000s, things seem to have gone off the rails. She veered from respectable science to naturopathy and pseudoscience, even though she knows better.After working as a researcher and businesswoman, Yasko graduated from Clayton College of Natural Health (CCNH), an unaccredited naturopathic school that taught all manner of quackery and has since ceased operations. (I can’t imagine the cognitive dissonance required for someone with her background to stomach courses in, say, homeopathy.) According to Quackwatch, “the nature of CCNH’s teachings is also reflected in the brazen claims of its graduates,” listing Yakso’s declaration of her ability to “reverse” diseases with no known cure, like autism, as an example.

I will try to do one a day.

Re the post ny Menta.

I could find mo reference to Dr. Judy being against vaccination. However she is douing some interesting research into Autoimmune disease and Autism.

Quoteecades of research links immunological abnormalities to ASD. In light of the extensive crosstalk between the immune and neural systems, which includes shared signaling and developmental pathways, this line of research can yield important insights in atypical brain development. The nature of the connection between immunity and autism is the focus of ongoing research. To examine the immunobiology of autism, it is important to (1) use healthy, age-matched, comparison groups that do not have a family history of ASD, and (2) take into account the heterogeneity and subtypes within the ASD population. Proper exploration of immunological features in autism presents an exciting opportunity to tease apart the biology of disorder, and may lead to therapeutic interventions.

She is mentioned several times in the references: Here are three:
1. Association AP. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Washington, D.C: 1994. [Google Scholar]
2. Ashwood P, Wills S, Van de Water J. The immune response in autism: a new frontier for autism research. J Leukoc Biol. 2006;80(1):1–15. [PubMed] [Google Scholar]\
3. Enstrom AM, Van de Water JA, Ashwood P. Autoimmunity in autism. Curr Opin Investig Drugs. 2009;10(5):463–73. [PMC free article] [PubMed] [Google Scholar]

She appears to be a legit accredited researcher. This is a normal trick. Put in a lot of genuine names as padding.

Autoimmunity has nought to do with vaccination.
