All your papers are cute, but they don't prove jack shit about vaccinations.
I could just as easily blame the skyrocketing income and wealth inequality by arguing that access to healthcare is going down and hence people are getting sicker, and it's showing up in child illnesses.

You can't just say
>Look! Autism is on the rise!
You must also show WHY autism is on the rise.

Why has science stopped progressing the last five years?

Question because I'm bad at probabilities:

Suppose I have two separate lights attached to buttons. If I press the left button, the left light turns red with a probability of 0.75 or it turns green with a probability of 0.25. On the other hand, if I press the right button, the right light turns red with a probability of 0.25 or it turns green with a probability of 0.75.

I get a box in the mail. It contains two more of these lights. Both are ensured to be identical, but I don't know if they're the red version or the green version. If I press both buttons to check the lights, how confident can I say I am that the lights I got are red or green?

My idea is to multiply the probabilities together. If I see red on the first light, that's 0.75. If I see red on the second light, that's 0.75*0.75. I don't think this is right though, because wouldn't that mean the probability decreases by multiplying them together?
