Science vs Statistics

The definition of the 'Scientific Method' requires the testing of a hypothesis.  Since very few variables in the real world can be controlled, results on human beings can NOT be tested.  How can we test if Freddy Fisherman, who is loaded up with methylmercury, will get ill from a vaccine containing an aluminum adjuvant?  What about 4 year old Timmy who puts his fingers in his mouth after playing in the garage where paints containing cadmium, cobalt and lead are stored, and there are two broken CFL light bulbs?  Can we scientifically test results for these variables?

Let’s substitute the word statistic (numerical data) for the incorrect use of the word science in the following testimonials on the ADA website.

The Alzheimer’s Association states:
"According to the best available SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE there is no relationship between silver dental fillings and Alzheimer's…”

Says who?  Are they telling us NO statistical evidence supports a relationship between mercury dental fillings and Alzheimer’s?  That would be a lie.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society says:
"There is no SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to connect the development of MS with mercury-based dental fillings.

Who collected the statistical data?  Did they include people who’s MS symptoms improved after having mercury fillings removed, or do they consider them statistical anomalies?

Lupus Foundation of America states:
"At the present time, we do not have any SCIENTIFIC DATA that indicates that dental fillings may act as a trigger of lupus.”

There is NO ‘scientific’ data?  They must mean statistical.  Where is the statistical data?  It shouldn’t be too much work for the Lupus foundation to ask people to say “Ahh” so their fillings can be counted when diagnosed for Lupus.  Perhaps they don’t want to know the statistics, that’s why they don’t have any.

If we substitute the word statistic for the word science in any bogus statement, we can tear their 'logic' apart.  Where did they get the numbers?  Who counted the statistics?  How did they count them?  Did they exclude injuries of people whom they turned into statistics?

The objectives of the ADA ‘testimony of others’ webpage and its writers is to put off people that might question their integrity by using he word science incorrectly. "You don't understand the SCIENCE," they say.  I say oh yes we do, "We understand the STATISTICS."

These charlatans are like squids that dirty up the water, making the writing unintelligible, in order to hide their profit-driven nefarious purpose.

Don’t let them do it.  Call the following organizations out on their misuse of the word science!

Forced Vaccinations Coming?

On Child Vaccination, AMA Considers End To Personal, Religious Exemptions

Key groups within the American Medical Association’s governing body want the nation’s largest doctor group to help bring an end to “personal belief” and religious exemptions that doctors say undermine “population immunity” and put public health at risk.
The AMA, meeting through Wednesday in Chicago for its annual policy-making House of Delegates meeting, could add an influential voice to the growing chorus of public health advocates and state legislatures getting rid of opt-outs for vaccinations for school entry when students start kindergarten.

“These exemptions are used for convenience,”  said Dr. James Felsen, an AMA alternate delegate and public health physician from West Virginia, which doesn’t allow religious or personal exemptions.  “It’s such a no brainer. You’re protecting the kid next to you.”

The measure comes in the wake of a highly publicized outbreak of measles at Disneyland last December that sickened more than 130 Californians. Though California lawmakers are pushing for an end to opt-outs from vaccinations, the state remains among 19 that have so-called “personal belief” exemptions, an AMA report said.
“Our AMA (should) provide materials on vaccine efficacy to states, and encourage them to eliminate philosophical and religious exemptions from state immunization requirements,” a resolution introduced today by the American Association of Public Health Physicians said.
There are several resolutions before the AMA in regard to exemptions from immunization. Should the AMA’s House of Delegates adopt new policy on vaccinations, it would become part of the lobbying agenda for the nation’s largest doctor group in states across the country as well as Washington on federal policy.

BERLIN, GERMANY – FEBRUARY 26: A children’s doctor injects a vaccine against measles, rubella, mumps and chicken pox to an infant on February 26, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. The city of Berlin is facing an outbreak of measles that in recent weeks has led to over 700 cases and one confirmed death of a little boy who had not been vaccinated.

“Nationwide, about 1.7% of kindergarten-age children have religious or philosophical exemptions to mandatory immunization,” a joint report from the AMA councils on science and public health and ethical and judicial affairs said. “Forty-eight states allow religious exemption. Nineteen states also allow ‘personal belief’ exemption.”
AMA members in favor of ending exemptions say people who decide not to get immunized put others at risk as well as themselves and healthcare workers. In parts of Los Angeles County , rates for children who don’t get vaccinated for measles and other diseases are at 20% or higher, a doctor from southern California testified at an AMA panel.


The AMA meeting runs through Wednesday in Chicago. A vote on immunization policy, which is one of dozens of votes that will be taken, could come as early as Monday.

The American Medical Association is now “taking a stand,” and it isn’t a good one. They’ve now taken a “forced vaccination” stand.

They go on to blame the Disney Land “outbreak” whereas barely over 100 kids got measles and no injuries or deaths occurred. They want to launch an all out campaign on matters of personal and parental rights.
“Our AMA (should) provide materials on vaccine efficacy to states, and encourage them to eliminate philosophical and religious exemptions from state immunization requirements,…”
Those who support this move should really consider the larger picture. What if Monsanto buys off your precious AMA and then they decided that everyone should be forced to eat GMO diets? You CHOOSE what goes into your body, or your child’s body, on a daily basis. You CHOOSE if you want your child to be vegan, or to avoid dairy, or to eat chopped up pasta, but now the Government will CHOOSE for you what chemicals the Government wants to inject into your child.
How can anyone not object to this matter?
