Actually, independent random checks on “Thimerosol-free” vaccines are turning up trace amounts in some samples. The manufacturers use it in the production process and the remove it.

But the bigger issue is that vaccines are one of many sources of mercury that newborns and young children are exposed to. And there are countless other ways an expectant mother can come in contact with it.

And then there is the synergistic effect ( AKA potentiation) between lead and mercury. It is a key piece of the autism puzzle that is being missed.

For the full story, you can read LEAD BABIES, a new book that ties mercury to autism, without being blown off course by the vaccination debate. http://www.nomoreleadbabies.com.

How dangerous are vaccines? Paul Offit says they are so safe that you could inject a child with 10,000 of them (presumably with mercury because he said that should’t be taken out).

Why not make them over-the-counter. Look at all the benefits and virtually no draw backs. Tylenol has a known track record with liver failure and deaths. Aspirin deaths are much higher than Tylenol. These have never stopped a disease by the millions like vaccines. Besides, according to these experts the only side effects from vaccines are anectdotal and coincidental. VAERS reports are scientifically useless. The only immediate danger would be a flesh wound with a small gauge syringe. Maybe you could poke an eye out. But you could do that with a pencil. Plus the benefits would outweigh the risks anyway.

We need to be more aggressive in our fight to eradicate these killer diseases. I would hate to see a dangerous and vaccine preventable disease like chicken pox come back because of the ignorant and selfish few. If it mutates, we would have no recourse against the Avian Chickenpox. The epidemic would come back and wipe out millions. (Show black and white film of children with sores screaming and running out of school buildings.) What are the draw backs? None, if the vaccines are as safe as the pure in heart doctors are saying. If we don’t do this, we risk millions of lives around the world.

There, you convinced me. I’m on your side now. Let’s campaign for OTC vaccines. Let’s not let doctors stand in the way of science and our children’s health.

I’m still waiting for the controlled trial that compares vaccinated against un-vaccinated complications. Until that trial is done, then how can anyone say that this has been settled scientifically? What’s the problem? The Pro-vacciners say that would be an unethical experiment.

When someone says that a debate is over because they say so is just bullying.

Measles: Before widespread immunization, measles epidemics occurred every 2 to 3yr, with small localized outbreaks during intervening years. In recent years in the USA, outbreaks have occurred most commonly in PREVIOUSLY IMMUNIZED adolescents and young adults and SOMETIMES in unimmunized preschool aged children. An infant whose mother has had measles receives transplacental passive immunity lasting most of the first year of life , thereafter susceptiblity is high. One attack of measles confers lifelong immunity.

Atypical measles syndrome usually occurs in persons PREVIOUSLY immunized with the original killed virus measles vaccine…atypical syndrome may also follow immunization with live, attenuated measles vaccine…

Prognosis: In healthy, well-nourished children, measles has a low mortality rate unless complications ensue. {Where are all the deaths? Typically in third world type conditions. The question is: should I be allowed to uses this information and make an educated decision about my child’s health? Or will other parent’s tell the govn’t to force me to make a decision based on their fears. If that’s the case, then I don’t need to know any statistics because the CDC, AAP, and DFACS will decide for me.

Polio: According to the PBS special that ran last week there were 20,000 cases of polio per year in 1950. A deadly and paralyzing disease. It then showed people in iron lungs and crippled. By 1960 the cases were down to 3000. (I’m going off memory so correct me if I’m wrong). This clever statement didn’t lie, but it was deceitful. Less than 2% of polio cases were paralytic and permanent. Not 20,000. The Cutter Labs incident caused 40,000 cases of polio from the vaccine. More people die from hospital infections than this. Where’s the outrage on that?

If vaccines were 100% safe, this would be a no-brainer. Everyone should get vaccines. No harm in trying. But, when you inject people with 76 vaccines and ingredients, something bad, known or unknown, is going to happen. Parents should be a part of the decision process and they deserve to know all the facts.

Of course you don’t have to believe the New England Journal or even your own doctor. Just go ask your parents or grandparents. My mom was in high school in the early 1950s and dreaded the first day of school every year because she knew some of her friends would have died over the summer of polio. In the 1960s there tens of thousands of babies born with congential rubella syndrome, which includes deafness and heart defects. My mother in law told me she would bang pans together the first day home with her new baby to be sure that they did not have this problem. It has been several years since a case of this disease has been seen in the United States. And just a month ago a seven month baby died of Hib, a vaccine preventable disease. That seven month had not received any recommended vaccinations. It was the first death from Hib in Minnesota since 1991, about the time vaccine was introduced.

The point about the flat earth is certainly valid – of course everyone believed the earth was flat. Just look at the window, you don’t see the curve of the earth. But to continue to hold that belief after the time of Columbus and John Glenn is not very realistic. And that is the point about autism and vaccination, we need to move on. There are a limited number of tax dollars for medical research and they need to be spent on the true cause and better treatments for the horrible disease of autism.
