I couldn't be prouder of you, Dan, and everybody at AoA! All top four are on my top daily news, as well as those other Russian spy, fake news sites: Drudge, Breitbart, The Sheeple, etc! I have high hopes for Age of Autism rising to # 1 next year. Yes, I somehow feel that, thanks to you, my tin foil hat now has a little deplorable halo over it.

Sorry guys Waldon is not going to be head of the CDC (today anyway)

UPDATE ON ARTICLE

Dave Weldon is NOT the New CDC Director

December 4, 2016 By Celia Farber 2 Comments

I told you late last night that a source close to the vaccine battle posted on FB that Dave Weldon was appointed the new director of the CDC.

It’s not accurate.

The source who told my source said something that the source misinterpreted and it took off from there.

I apologize for jumping the gun, but I clarified in the post what I had heard, from whom, that it was on FB, and that I was not 100% sure.

I wrote: “I hope this is still true tomorrow.”

Well, it isn’t.

Not as bad as Newsweek or Time (forget which) printing millions of copies of Hillary on the cover with the headline: “Madam President,” before the election, and certainly not as costly. But still, I owe you an apology for not waiting for more confirmation.

MMR RIP

Re Weldon, I too got this from Celia Farber. I can't find it anywhere in the news.

And I find it interested that the Dakota pipeline reports are largely coming from sources outside the US. BBC reports a Canadian journalist traveling over the border to cover the pipeline has been stopped and had his personal items confiscated. It appears that all we have left, literally, is each other, sites like AOA and whatever news we get from abroad.
At the beginning of the Cold War, the US government funded Radio Free Europe to broadcast *uncensored news* to countries behind the iron curtain. One can only imagine what they're broadcasting today (and I'm beginning to wonder about what they broadcasted then).

Dave Weldon appointed Director of the CDC???? REALLY!!!!!!

I cannot thing of another appointee that I would preferred.

My God .. has President elect Trump actually begun taking the very first critical steps in WALKING THE WALK .. that is now expected of him?

Tim, Great to see another who appreciates Celia Farber!

IF Dave Weldon becomes CDC Director, this is HUGE. Thanks for the heads-up!

I notice that four of the six websites on their list (including the top three) are ones whose primary focus are anti-establishment views on medicine and/or food. Out of all the vast number of scientific fields out there, they put most of their effort into supporting big pharma and food industries. The more extreme they get with this witch hunt, the more they'll be shouting in echo chambers as everyone else stops paying attention to what "science" says (I put it in quotes because as readers of this site know, plenty of science doesn't fit with the industry-funded politicized stance on science put out by the media). It's a shame what it's come to, as I do see science as a tool and method that can do much good if used right, but at this point what's likely to happen is a collapse in the prestige of science as a whole as what's claimed by the media as what science says gets more and more distant from our lived experience. Expect the voices of people like the RealClearScience folks to get ever more shrill.

I would suppose most of those who visit the AoA site regularly would give it a 90% + approval rating.

At present, the $$$ mainstream news $$$ has an approval rating somewhere between 10 and 15%. They wish it was campaign season all the time, as they love the ad revenue. They now have to live off the ad revenue of the “American drug lords” until the next election.

As before, those with some web site skills could set up a simple site for the ... 62,000 AAP members ... where they could sign up by State to take the “two month baby vaccines” and a mercury flu shot.

... better yet of course, have the shots adjusted to their body weight... surely some husky pediatrician will sign up to receiver 30 o 40 shots on the same day.

A "chirping crickets" soundtrack might be needed.

It is a very unfair article. You guysl would barely make my top 3 anti-VAX sites, let alone anti-science.

LOL! “The Worst Web Sites for Science 2016.”

I find that "debunking" sites are good sources of information: just go read the stuff they tell you not to; they are very helpful when I'm researching something new. And here they go again, continuing their public service.

Natural News and Mercola are my other two favorite sites besides yours. Keep up the good work. I am incredibly thankful for all your hard work and appreciate your willingness to hang in there. So many of us have been helped in many ways by your efforts. I pray you and your family have a wonderful holiday!

Thanks to all of you at the Age of Autism for everything you do to get the truth out there!
I don't post much, but read your articles everyday. You are the best source of autism news available anywhere (and sadly, most mainstream pediatricians are the worst source IMO. I'm so angry at their profession for not rising up to stop the damage to our children years ago. Most of them are cowards).
Keep up your good work and thank you again!

If the publicity brings people to the AoA web site, they can read and decide for themselves whether or not all the different contributions, evidence and parent experiences, are 'bad' science, or whether 'science' as defined by Forbes and their contributors is more about vested political and corporate interests. ( Remember Emily Willingham's article BLAMING Dr Wakefield for the lack of research and treatments for autistic children & now adults with bowel disorders?)

Until recently, the so called 'mainstream ' health press and media outlets denied any links between bowel disease and autism, but this is now officially admitted with one survey finding bowel problems in autistic persons to be as high as 70%.

Congratulations, AOA, for being in the top 3 anti-scientism sites on the web. May you make #1 next year :o).

Not only are a lot of articles on Age of Autism pointing to just vaccines cause autism, but sooooo very much more.

Rates of autism absolutely have increased, and the causes are up for debate, but the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence indicates that vaccines do not play a role. (A shift in diagnosis likely accounts for much of the rise.) Evidence does not factor into Age of Autism's reporting, however. Either ignorantly or willfully, they misconstrue science and mislead their readers into believing that vaccines are dangerous.

*************

So let me get this straight. A website that calls itself 'Real Clear Science' , is judging the scientific caliber of other sites.

And their scientific explanation for the exploding incidence of autism, is ' A shift in diagnosis likely accounts for much of the rise.'

Well shame on the rest of if us, for not realizing that real science is so rooted in definite, possible maybes.

The world as we know it Jim/Dan.
Sickness the new norm.
The " deplorable`s" win the American election.
Our food is not feeding us anymore.
The health service makes you ill/dead preferably half dead zombie/sheeple like.
More web time is spent on a sit com than all the pro-nature programmes.
Via movie games kids are rewarded for being violent.

That all aside don't forget its the parents to blame and keep away from dangerous uniformed web sites such as AOA.
Congratulations Dan we`ve arrived AOA is getting there. If we really put in a power of spade work lets aim for No1 next year.

Fight stage I think were just coming to.
