The claim that "there's not evidence that vaccines cause autism" is obviously wrong because this tweet is that evidence... unless the tweet is factually wrong, in which case please dispute the content of the tweet. Otherwise, the "there's no evidence" claim is unfalsifiable. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(9-0-5) Author

The post itself notes a statistical anomaly. While correlation is not causation, that is irrelevant to the post. If a survey/statistic exists disputing the rate of autism in Amish or that the three were vaccinated etc, then that needs to be shown with a CN. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(9-0-2) Author

The proposed notes aren’t appropriate responses to the claim being made. If the study has methodological errors, which it probably does, those should be pointed out rather than arguments that belong in the comments. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(6-0-3) Author

Just write “thoughtcrime”. You know you want to. We live in a weird and wonderful place where your exasperated attempts to “prove” that heresies against your orthodoxies need “fact checks” just embarrass you and waste everyone’s time. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(6-0-3) Author

1. The Olmsted article referred to focused on a single Amish convert family and hypothesized either the family's ignorance of other Amish autistic people or genetic immunity. [Link] 2. Further scientific studies have shown autism rates are about the same among the Amish. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(3-0-5) Author

Dan Olmstead was not a researcher. He was a journalist who did a non scientific survey on a single Amish community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 2005. [Link] Actual studies have found that many autistic Amish people do exist. And Amish do get vaccines. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(3-0-5) Author
