Comments on: Marching Over Vaccines And Autism

A New Battle Cry For Those Arguing There's A Link

[rational_1]

Those of you so adamantly against vaccinations should ask yourselves a few questions. When was the last time someone died of smallpox and why is it no longer in the population? Do I know of anyone who got polio recently? Can I rest easier after stepping on a rusty nail knowing I''ve had a tetanus shot? If I get bitten by a wild animal like a raccoon, do I want to just hope I don''t get rabies or should I consider getting the rabies vaccine?

So, as much as you may be concerned about vaccines and the possible effects it had on you or your kids, know that in the big picture, many more of you would be dead or seriously ill if none of the diseases I listed above couldn''t be prevented by vaccines. Don''t believe me, just read up on smallpox, the 1918 influenza epidemic and that kids who get measles can actually die.

I gather, then, that those of you who are against vaccinations would refuse one if you were bitten by a rabid animal. Rabies is always fatal, and it is a horrible way to die.

Rabies vaccine contains preservatives, so would you pass on the vaccine?

By the way, examples of autism go back centuries, way before vaccines.

Also, bear in mind that thimerasol is a preservative, which made multiple doses per vial possible, thereby decreasing the cost of the vaccines. Removing the preservative forced single dosages, which increased the cost.

What a wonderful job you did by managing to get an interview with Dr. Offitt. Gee, he almost never gives interviews. Oh, wait a minute, he''s a consultant for Merck and owns a patent on one of their vaccines. And they PAY him to go out there and tell people vaccines are safe. And then they cut him royalty checks every time a kid gets a rotavirus shot. And one of those lucky kids died from that shot''s side effects last month. Really. You can look it up. If you are at all interested in actually doing any research, as opposed to being spoon fed information from Pharma shills. Journalism, nyet. Pravda, da.

The first child diagnosed with autism in the United States was born in 1931, the same year thimerosal was first used in a vaccine.

Do Amish and Christian Science members get vaccinated? How many of them are autistic? Just a thought.

Dawn220k seems to have set a record for ignorance and fear mongering. Perhaps he or she was not born during the polio epidemics in the 1950s, before the polio vaccine. I had friends permanently crippled by polio. The disease, a horrible one, was stopped by vaccines.

If you and your children are all vaccine injured have you considered the possiblity your genes might be the source of the problem?

dawn2000k, I am so sorry you and your 2 children are vaccine injured. You are so right, looking to man to keep us healthy is the biggest joke of our time. Are they going to take care of our children, when they are screaming for no reason, for hours on end in the middle of the living room....no they''re not. Do they care.....no they don''t. It is all about the almight dollar and anyone who doesn''t believe that has choosen to put their head in the sand. Wake up is my favorite line, it''s like the elephant in the middle of the room everyone is ignoring, it''s so frustrating.

I watched your clip on vaccines. I don''t believe that you have all the information. I have 4 grandchildren and request that the vaccines are thimeraol free. I was taught to look at the box NOT the insert for the ingredient thimerasol. I got into a discussion with the children''s pediatritian and he insisted that anything I needed to know about the vaccine was on the insert including the ingredients. He brought it in and read off to me all the inforamtion. I asked to see the box which he willingly showed me, sure enough, there listed on the box was the ingredient thimerasol. Yet, it was not listed on the insert. I also noticed that the gov''t purchases vaccines in large quanities for those that are lower income using insurances such as Medicaid, Blue Chip . . . that have thimerasol as an ingredient. So if you use any of those insurance companies or gov''t programs your child will receive a vaccine with thimerasol. But those indiviuals that are able to afford the vaccine out of pocket get the vaccines that are thimerasol free. The go''vt is trying to hide all of this information from the public. I have a nephew that developed autism after a particular vaccine. My brother and his wife can pinpoint the day he received the vaccine and the change in his behavior. I have 2 grandchildren that developed Apraxia which is related to the vaccines as well. People need to be educated! Once again, the gov''t will not take responsibility! It would be too costly and interfere with politics!

I am so sick and tired of the lies. Lies by the media and lies by our own government agencies. My two children and I are VACCINE INJURED. Vaccines cause a lot more than AUTISM! They can cause hearing loss, vision damage, POLIO, arthritis, diabetes, etc. etc. There have been NUMEROUS STUDIES TO PROVE THIS. Why haven''t we heard about any of them? The media is probably paid large sums of money to keep their mouths shut. By the way - what makes for really interesting reading is the CDC''s reported disease statistics 1-5 years BEFORE EACH VACCINE CAME ON THE MARKET. After seeing these figures (it is quite easy to do), I now see that it truly is about MONEY and that''s it. The U.S. was not at risk because disease was pretty much eradicated BEFORE each vaccine began to be marketed! WAKE UP PEOPLE!! These individuals responsible for harming society are truly SICK.
