Whistleblower Claims CDC Hid Data Linking Vaccines To Autism : Personal Liberty
I wish I had known, or at least suspected, that there was an alleged link between vaccinations and austism when our son was born. I do not believe it is the vaccinations themselves that can lead to austism, but rather the thimerosol (mercury) that is used as a preservative in vaccinations, especially multiple vaccinations in one shot. The government, the pharmacuetical industry, and the Wall Street Journal have consistently maintained that there is no link. However, I know that my son was a bright, engaged infant, and his whole personality changed after the standard California prescribed regimen of vaccinations. We received a diagnosis of autism when he was three.
Autism rates have skyrocketed as the number of required vaccinations have increased. Anybody who thinks its because of better diagnosis and more awareness, or because parents want government aid for their children, has not spent much time around autistic kids. After 17 years with an autistic child, I can tell other autistic children within a minute or two of meeting them, and also autistic adults who might never have been diagnosed. Naturally with our autistic son we met many other parents and their autistic children. Some of their children became "autistic" immediately after a round of a vaccinations. With multiple vaccinations, the mercury level is far in excess of what the government considers no risk. The symptoms of autism are virtually identical to the symptoms of mercury poisoning.
There have been studies supposedly "proving" that there is no link, but some of the studies do not even control for mercury in the vaccinations, and many are conducted under the auspices of either pharmaceutical companies or the government, neither of whom I trust. My son has made amazing strides; he will graduate from high school this year, he has a job at a hamburger stand, and he is very smart, which puts him in the Aspergers camp. However, he admits that he is socially awkward, and he has had some real struggles making friends and getting along with other kids. We will probably never get an official admission that autism has something to do with mercury and vaccinations, but if you or anyone you know has a newborn infant, parents can request thimerosol free vaccinations, and can space out vaccinations and have them administered one at a time. As we Gulchers know in many other contexts, relying on the government to protect our interests is the definition of foolishness.

Now if an autoimmune connection to autism could be found, it would be a MAJOR contribution to modern medicine and some solid science which might shed light on this issue--and perhaps many others.
I've observed that in many such 'discussions,' folks on one side reject the veracity of experimental results put forth by 'the other side.'
Rarely, if ever, do both 'sides' get together and discuss the experimental processes as well as their results before decreeing that 'my side wins.'
You're absolutely right! Agendae seem to drive 'results' more than experimental design drives accuracy OF results. One of my favorite examples nowadays is the Global Warming "debate." The levels of 'he-said/she-said' or 'you fudged the data/no, I didn't' have made any rational discussions fairly impossible.
Me? I still blame lack of ability for Critical Thinking and Overwhelming Desire for Instant Answers by the Public as two of the root causes of the situation.
And I don't see those changing... do you?
with Aspergers kids;; she is very successful at
bringing them forward in hand-eye coordination and
social interaction, creative expression and self-
confidence. it is wonderful to see!!! -- j
as in "trips and ..." to determine causes;;; how are
falls diseases, I wonder. government intrudes into
everything....... -- j
The mercurochrome mom slathered on my cuts and the aluminum pans I fried my bacon and eggs in each morning, as well as the rosin and lead vapor fumes I inhaled over decades of soldering electronic gizmos together just NEVER occurred to me to have been an influence.
Not. You can blame any cause you want for any effect you don't want, but if the experiments aren't replicated, reviewed and controlled, it's all BS.
Amazing how I even made Dean's List at RPI with all those negative influences... :)
I have long been wary of vaccines, since my nephew suddenly had full blown MS after being forced to take the shots unapproved by the FDA during the Gulf War. About the same time, a friend of ours dutifully took her flu shot and, within hours, was in a hospital, completely paralyzed. She remained in the hospital for weeks, went through endless physical therapy, and continues to be tied to medication since. A local mortician spoke before a civic group recently, and warned people in attendance of the dangers of vaccines, which he said were filled with dangerous chemicals.
Being allergic to eggs, I shudder every time they suggest "mandatory" vaccines, as the allergic reaction would be worse than most diseases for me.
The government is in bed with big drug companies, doctors are woefully uninformed about the vaccines, and we are the herd animals they all want to control..
One of the good parts is that special needs children/adults are exceptionally wonderful people, they love and are loved and cherished perhaps even a little more than normal children. They truly are Special.
I have a flu shot every year, sometimes a pneumonia shot, and got the shingles vaccine after an outbreak which could have cost me one of my eye. It is purely my decision and I regard the benefit vs. any risk as more than worth accepting.
I believe the HPV vaccine is more than worth considering, as if in wide use, it would prevent roughly 27,000 cervical cancer cases each year. Since HPV is transmitted sexually, there is no need to administer it during infancy. But I do believe everyone at the onset of puberty (yes, including men, who are generally asymptomatic but can transmit it) should be offered the vaccine. I say again, offered, not required to have it.
Vaccines have saved countless lives. That said, they are now given massive numbers of vaccines in rapid fire order at an age when a child's entire system is developing. It would not be ethical to perform a series of studies involving infants, but surely larger-scale statistical data could be maintained with ease.
I do not believe vaccines to be evil. But I do question the number given over a short term to a small child. In my day (oh, how I feel weird using that phrase), there were four childhood vaccinations: measles, smallpox, diphtheria/tetanus, and polio. In my present home state, at last count there are 21.
Remember that the purpose of a vaccine is to promote an immune response so that the body inoculates itself against a specific (usually) virus. I am unaware of any objective science on repeated intense stimulation of the immune system (again, in a developing child) on general health.
Many people blame mercury. I have been unable to find anything solid to support that. Only a few vaccines still contain Thimerisol as a preservative. But making the body believe it is "sick" 21 times with at least 21 different illnesses? To my knowledge, that is essentially an ongoing "experiment". Surely it is worth examining with a non-political agenda.
