Reply to: Stupid journalists who propagated the MMR scare

[sasguru]

Am I missing something or has he invented a "law of probability" which simply involves dividing by 100? That doesn't seem terribly sound to me. I mean, think of all the hilarious things that 2000 loopy people in the UK might swear to and say that 20 are correct "by the law of probability".

You've just got to laugh. Apart from other tragedy of being so stupid.

That's also a very interesting website. Especially the comment from "gregthegreen" on the statistics of dying from measles.

So its an easy decision in 2011 for me. Seeing as how there are 2000 families in the UK, who swear their kids were developing normally until MMR, if I use common sense and say lets say 20 are correct by the law of probability and looking at the history of modern medicine. Calculate how many children were given the MMR per year and work it out. I haven't done this, but I can see it would work out to more of a risk than the above. So an easy decision for me, but if everyone were like me, the risk would go up. Therefore scare mongering forums like this do a good job. Keep up the good work!

Richer than you'll ever be mate.

But don't worry, you keep doing the same old tulip and retire at 80.

Lucky you're rich, with your massive bill looming.

You're right I'll just have to get by on my £900 daily rate working from home.

Whatever! sock puppet.

And you're the most hated person on the forum, but I guess you knew that anyway.
