This isn't a sports match, I can oppose your contrafactual "Obama gave my money to naughty unions" hypothesis without pushing some equally nonsensical "bankers ran home with the bailout" hypothesis.
The Bush and Obama administrations have bailed out many large nonunionised financial firms, so it would seem that unionised workforces are not the distinction. Do you have a hypothesis that is less contradicted by the evidence?

Actually, you know what? This is wrong. Somehow my memory has completely overstated the measles thing - perhaps because it was pretty robust research - and completely neglected that the paper also had an autism hypothesis.
On the other hand it's entirely possible that it's produced by the "good" bacteria and metabolised away by other good bacteria, and what's important is the balance. It simply hasn't been evaluated either way.
His research was ostensibly to show whether the MMR vaccine - specifically the measles component - was the source of the digestive problems. The idea that the vaccine caused both the digestive problems and the autism was made up out of whole cloth for a press conference, to be blunt.
Wakefield was in the employ of lawyers at the time - he received government legal aid money, in fact - who were pursuing the autism-vaccination claim. Of course even if such a link could be found statistically, the strong causal evidence required would be much harder to obtain just because the disorder is so poorly understood. By contrast the gut disorder-measles link is quite simple to get at. If Wakefield's actual paper was confirmed, then a parent whose autistic child had bowel problems could then get damages for that particular problem in court, at the very least. Wakefield tried to get funding from his hospital to set up a company to design and make the diagnostic kits needed.
They make people take a "food diary" when they think there's some sort of dietary involvement in a problem. You write down everything you consume so that you don't have to remember what you had in the three days before that migraine or outbreak of stomach cramps, or whatever. Could be interesting to blanket-issue food diaries and health questionnaires to a large population.
Firstly, they discovered that the autistic-model mouse had very different gut biota and suffered from digestive tract issues. The new bacterium didn't establish itself, but it did perturb the gut bacteria community to be closer to control mice, and reduced digestive tract issues.
Secondly, they discovered that this perturbation reduced the autism-model symptoms in the autism-model mice quite markedly.
Thirdly, they discovered a gut metabolite that was elevated in untreated autism-model mice versus control mice or treated autism-model mice. However providing that metabolite to control mice only caused an increase in anxiety behaviours, and not the specific autistic ones. So it's not just the metabolite which is responsible for the behaviours.
I wonder if there's some underlying difference in the neurology of the autism-model mice such that the metabolite "sets off" the autism-model behaviours rather than anxiety. Or perhaps the metabolite causes anxiety in both communities but the anxiety only then "sets off" the autism-model behaviours in the autism-model mice.
Mazmanian and colleagues at Caltech used a mouse model of autism that is thought to approximately recreate three of the disorder's hallmark deficits: lack of social interaction, decreased communication (mice normally emit ultrasonic, birdsonglike chirps), and repetitive behaviors such as compulsive grooming or burying marbles.
They discovered increased levels of a particular bacterial metabolite in untreated autism-model mice versus normal mice or treated autism-model mice. Interestingly providing that metabolite to healthy mice increased anxiety but didn't cause any of the characteristic autistic symptoms.
I think the idea that one's homeland would be a profitable business venture privately-held by investors in another country says a lot about libertarians.

"Doing quite nicely thanks to Google's large bank balance" is actually what the article expects to happen.
That's simply not the article's premise. The article's premise is almost exactly what you so smugly proposed should be its premise.
Did you not read it?
Arrogant, but accurate. Sounds like the FSF to me.

They'd fail the technical requirements checklist and never be allowed on the store.

That's an interesting hypothesis, but the only bacterium they controlled for was one that helps not one that was causing any problems.

The wonderfully unhelpful myth that one can only use open source software to produce open-source things.

Sorry, I thought it was an interesting aspect and hadn't seen you make the point anywhere.
Believe it or not some people do not know this, see "Fukushima" and assume it's the company that ran the reactors.
It presumably has a technical legal definition which the article, according to its footnotes, doesn't have available.
