It pisses me off the MSM refuses to point out that everything Trump does is dishonest. We have watched him for 18 months now and he never tells the truth, or is honest. He will never change, so how do we survive 4 years of him is the question. He is much worse than Nixon or Bush. <<ll this craziness simply because Donald Trump doesn't want to admit that advanced age of the Father is strongly predictive of Autism. And Donald's Trump's advanced age at conception is the reason his young son Barron is Autistic. No, rather than accept culpability, Donald Trump will fund a collection of anti-knowledge nitwits blaming his son's Autism on something which didn't cause it.

That'll be correlation not causation [if it's even true that there is correlation]. < advanced age of the Father is strongly predictive of Autism > I doubt there is a strong correlation. If there is a correlation, it will be due to the mother's dietary or baby handling actions or age. I guess that women with old men providing the baby are in their late 30s and 40s and not in their teens or 20s. So the mothers are the main difference. No doubt you do not have an actual scientifically sound bunch of data to back up your idea. With no foundation, you then leap to a ridiculous conclusion: << Donald's Trump's advanced age at conception is the reason his young son Barron is Autistic. >> You don't have evidence that Barron is autistic. And even if he is [which I have not bothered checking as it seems unlikely and inconsequential anyway] you cannot conclude that therefore it was caused by Trump's age. You can't conclude that something with an increased probability of say 20% [if that was the amount] has caused the outcome. I did notice that the horrible harridan Rosie Odonnell saw fit to claim Barron is autistic and I assume her hideous nature has got you going. She dresses her nastiness up in "caring". cbsnews.com She's probably so ignorant, stupid, and nasty that she based her idea on seeing poor little Barron at 3am or thereabouts, tired and nearly asleep on his feet beside his father and mother on election night. Your "science" is obviously like CO2 'settled science' the purpose of which is not to understand CO2 effects on climate but to get the loot from the political systems and be bossy and enjoy the fun of the CO2 jamborees. It's confirmation bias - "oh it's a hot day so it must be CO2". You are backing the vaccination "settled science". Some vaccinations might be worthwhile, but having seen my grandson smashed by a meningitis vaccine, and having read a book about vaccinations by a PhD doctor who actually had data, and seeing the cost and harm from them, I would not bother with most of them. An avian flu vaccination if that flu is rampant would be a good vaccination and I'd line up for that. But the meningitis one and tetanus and whatnot I would say don't do it. There are millions of pathogens. You can't vaccinate against even a tiny fraction of them and even if you do, the vaccinations are not necessarily effective and need 'boosters'. The method of delivering vaccines is also stupid - pain and damage. Pathogens don't need to cause fear and pain to infect. At least they use sharp needles these days which is a bit of improvement.
