[Ad hominem.] "Its not my only argument John, but in your case, its the only argument I can be bothered to stretch to."
So, from my limited experience with this character, I would have to agree 110% that the one consistent aspect of Kev’s character is that he cannot, and will not, ever admit to being proven wrong, even if it means contradicting himself or doing a Matrix-esque dodge and weave dance that would make Neo proud.

Robert Kennedy Jr. and others point to dubious evidence, such as the myth that the Amish do not vaccinate and do not get autism. Both of these claims are not true, and the data RFK Jr. refers to is nothing more than a very unscientific phone survey (Leitch 2007).

Comment:
It will be interesting to see how Autism Speaks and Autism Society of America
make the transition from giving credence to the vaccine/autism myth, to
realizing that giving credence to the vaccine/autism myth marks them as
loonies. It will be interesting to see how hard they work to expunge prior
statements of support of the fringe element. I
suppose Katie Wright may become bitter and hardened toward "them", "they" who
poisoned a generation, blah blah blah. I wonder if the Wrights would divest
themselves of Autism Speaks all together rather than face having to admit that
their child was so wrong.
