    Yeah, can't help wondering if she would still have got it if she hadn't had the vaccine.

    It's a bit like those who claim to have got the 'flu from the 'flu vaccine.

    No. You. Didn't.

    There is no live virus in vaccines.

    You can still get the 'flu after being vaccinated - the vaccine is not an exact science in relation to a constantly evolving virus.

    Most however get the "Kiwi Flu" - commonly known as a common cold. "I can't come to work today boss, I've got the 'flu." Yeah right...

    Excellent, but first a caveat. Non of this conspiracy theorist cop-out bullshit, if the medical professionals, journal reviewers etc don't see fit to publish these conclusions in perpetuity, then that $50 is mine. Likewise, to the opposite, if it gets published/accepted then the $50 is yours. Agreed?

    How about instead....

    If there is an investigation that proves that CDC officials destroyed documents that showed possible links between this vaccine and autism, you hand over 50 bucks.

    If the whole 'documents in a garbage bin' turns out to be bullshit, you get 50 bucks.

    Like I said, lets avoid the conspiracy theorist bullshit. Either there is a link, or there isn't; why not bet on that.

    How about you have another read of what you wrote.

    Conspiracy theories are sensationalist bullshit. By phrasing your side of the bet to advertise a conspiracy theory as the 'win' condition, you owe me 50 bucks.

    You are the one that only a few minutes ago wanted to bet 50 bucks, that an article suggesting the CDC are guilty of fraud and destroying significant testing data, was just "an absolute load of sensationalist bullshit".

    Now you don't seem so keen.

    No, I just recognise that you shouldn't judge whether some allegedly sensationalist bullshit is or is not by the amount of other allegedly sensationalist bullshit that follows. This is on account of me not being a slave to self serving circular logic.

    Now, what I also recognise, is that if it were sensationalist bullshit, it would never get to a journal article. If it was legit data, then it could, and given the standing of those involved (ie, qualified) it would.

    Now what you think is a win condition, of finding out they did discard data, could just be (as I originally posited) them throwing out the data because it was rubbish; that's the conspiracy theory here that clearly leads to a stalemate.

    Why don't you want to take the bet with outcomes that won't lead to a stalemate? Not so sure of yourself anymore?

    You're the only one who's mentioned 'conspiracy theory'.

    Why don't you want to take on the bet based on your original wager?
