Comments on: Researchers Focus On Vaccine Deniers

Many In Small Oregon Town Believe Childhood Vaccinations Do More Harm Than Good

I''m thinking folks should be wary of vaccines. I''m thinking American medicine is way more interested in financial success than patient satisfaction.

I''m thinking drug companies want to make money in spite of what is best for the patient, and, quite frankly, don''t trust anyone who feeds on the misery of others like parasites.

Who do you think got all the laws passed having to do with your child being immunized before he/she could attend school?

My best advice is to stay away from folks claiming to want to help you by draining your pocketbook.

And when polio strikes down 10 or 12 kids or measles kills some older ''deniers'', we will hear that the government should have done more to ensure these people were vaccinated. There has been NO LINK to autism due to vaccines, BUT there has been a possible link to women who smoke (tobacco and/or pot) and other drugs. HMMMM, maybe we should outlaw tobacco.

How many of the 28% unvaccinated kids in this town have autism compared to the vaccinated kids?

Good for the parents; they''ve done more homework than this article. The CDC does not recommend "as many as 10" vaccines before age 6 -- that was back in 1983. Take a look at the current CDC Vaccine Schedule for 2009. The current tally, when you add it up, is 48 vaccines by age 6, for 14 diseases. All but 13 of those are given by age 24 months. That''s 34 vaccines by age 2, starting on the day of birth, many of which still contain "trace" amounts of mercury, or in the case of flu vaccine full amounts, plus aluminum adjuvants that have been implicated in Gulf War Syndrome, MSG, and all kinds of other chemicals. Stop making these parents out to be crazy by calling them "vaccine deniers". They''re the only ones looking out for their kids. If you look at the 2009 schedule, THAT''S what''s crazy.
