There was exactly one that appeared to show an association. It was later found to be a fraud, with fudged data, cherry picked patients, and not one but two undisclosed financial interests. He took money from lawyers to get those results, and was also trying to make his own vaccine patent look good in comparison.It still caused concern though, which is why since then, millions of research dollars have been spent (wasted) trying to replicate the results. They haven’t. At this point millions of children have been tracked including every child born in the country of Denmark over a 10 (Edit: actually 28) year period. There’s no correlation, no association, no cause. Below is a sampling of the studies that have found that vaccines don’t cause autism.In fact, we now know not only that it doesn’t, but also that it can’t. We can now detect autism before the first set of vaccinations.Edit: Wait there was another study that claimed to find evidence of a link between vaccines and autism in African American boys. They used the “covered up” yet totally publicly available CDC data.[FACT CHECK: Fraud at the CDC Uncovered?]And here’s the article….whoops…The retraction statement:The Editor and Publisher regretfully retract the article [1] as there were undeclared competing interests on the part of the author which compromised the peer review process. Furthermore, post-publication peer review raised concerns about the validity of the methods and statistical analysis, therefore the Editors no longer have confidence in the soundness of the findings. We apologise to all affected parties for the inconvenience caused.So once again, someone was fudging statitistics for money.Now to the studies that showed NO LINK.

No I don’t believe it would have been possible.Following the Norwegian Invasion the German Navy had 1 Heavy Cruiser, 2 light cruisers and 7 destroyers. The Luftwaffe had no bomb capable of penetrating the main armor of a battleship and no reliable air dropped torpedoes. During the entire war the Luftwaffe never sank a British capital ship.They had a few u-boats and S-boats but not a lot. Also the barges could only be towed at 3 knots and were found to swamp in swells over 2–3 feet high.In return, the RAF would have withdrawn north of the River Thames out of ME109 range and still been able to contest the air over southern England.On top of that you have the Royal Navy.In June 1940 the Home Fleet was thus comprised;HOME FLEETAdm Sir Charles Forbes KCB, DSO2nd Battle Squadron (Adm Sir Charles Forbes KCB, DSO) -
