...investigations viewed with an international lens. Before last year’s Class Day speech, students complained that speaker Matt Lauer was hardly a relevant choice. As such, we applaud the Class Day committee’s apparent decision to reevaluate its selection standards, and we challenge anyone to say the same of Amanpour as they did of Lauer...
...panic at Evan's diagnosis in her memoir Louder than Words: "I wished to God the doctor had handed me a pamphlet that said, 'Hey, sorry about the autism, but here's a step-by-step list on what to do next.' But doctors don't do that. They say 'sorry' and move you along." McCarthy began to try almost every treatment that turned up on Google.

(A great deal of research is currently focused on finding a genetic cause.) She has backed off from her most heated rhetoric and says she is now not against all vaccines but is in favor of studying them further and modifying the schedule by which they are administered. The problem is that every study has shown there is no correlation between vaccines and autism and that the risk of injury from vaccination...
