The bias factors in the unvaccinated group were 4.33 for boys and 15.17 for girls. That's quite surprising. To emphasize, unvaccinated girls participating in the survey were found to be diagnosed with ASD 15 times as often as in the general population of girls.Read it all.
Either not vaccinating girls is a significant cause of ASD, or familial autism is more common in the families of autistic girls. (Any other explanations?) I'm inclined to believe the second explanation, though I haven't found much support for this in the literature. Tsai et al. (2005) comes close. Either way, this seems to be an interesting direction of future research.

- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
