Wish you could access that 404'd web page? Ever heard of the Wayback Machine? Also some initial thoughts on my "vaccine" research

At the moment I'm neck deep in researching the vaccine debate, to expand my own awareness, to share a somewhat more simplified and well-researched presentation with folks, and to try to find some truth here.

Something I've noticed a LOT of is web pages/sites that have been pulled down being linked to in magazine articles, documentaries, and other content. I realized there is also a good chance that many people don't know about the Wayback Machine, so I thought I would share.

I apologize for the terrible audio... I was walking through downtown Portland, and then my video capture didn't pick up my voice at all :-P

How to use the Wayback Machine

1. Find a link that is now broken, the page is gone, or you know has been drastically changed
2. Copy the URL
3. Go to www.archive.org/web
4. Enter the URL into the search bar, and hit "browse history"
5. Each date with a colored dot is a saved version of the page, simply scroll back through them until you find what you're looking for. (the line graphs give a great sense of when a page disappeared (whenever it stopped being saved frequently is probably when it vanished)

PS, while diving into this preliminary research, I've noticed a few different arguments are all getting lumped into one, and some of the most important details seem to be missing from the public conversation:

• There is argument about whether or not "vaccines cause autism"... but everything I've seen is pointing to mercury poisoning as a/the main cause for autism. Many vaccines do contain mercury, but so does fish, municipal drinking water, etc.
• There is this idea that many parents are strictly "anti-vaccine", but what I've found is mostly people who are pro-safety, pro-evidence-based-science, anti-corruption, and anti-government force.
• The argument that un-vaccinated kids can be a threat to vaccinated kids is ONLY valid if the vaccines are not giving those kids immunity (which is their claimed purpose)

Anyway, like I said I'm just dipping my toes into the research so far, watching documentaries and congressional hearings, making lists of bookmarks, studies, events, and people to do deeper research into. I'm very open to links if you've got them.
