Ms Atkisson, Where did you get the idea that the treasurers of Every child by two work at Wyeth. This is the treasurer: Patti Mitchell, MPH, RD
Treasurer
Senior Program Analyst
Supplemental Food Programs Division
Food and Nutrition Services, USDA (WIC)

And Dr Offit is always very open about his monetary ties to the vaccine industry, which is how any good scientist should be.

There is no issue here except for people who cannot think for themselves.

Thank you Sharyl Attkisson and CBS. I am the parent of an autistic child and I witnessed this child change the day he recieved a vaccination, never to be the same again. I recently had someone say that I am emotioanlly charged over this issue. Compassion, emotionally charged, upset at words like, "She cannot live with her son's condition", and this is exactly what drives us. You say the very words that make us fight this fight! You are correct about me being emotionally charge on this subject. We get emotionally charged when people who do not know us or our child and have not walked in our shoes and witnessed what we saw with our own eyes; disregard what we are saying with such uncompassionate arrogance.

I saw my child, who was perfectly functioning change the day he was injected with a vaccination that I was told he needed in order to be protected. I was all for it, great, protecting my child. Yet, when I witnessed a change in his personality I am told that I am a wacko for saying this. I am told that I don't know what I am talking about. I am told this by people that have never seen my child, people that did not know him before vaccinations and after. Yet, the people that were around my child his entire life saw this change. They carried him around for hours after the injection trying to consol his unstoppable crying. They sat up with him while he could not sleep. These are family and friends who knew him and saw this change.

This is when we get emotionally charge over this. I am glad your child received a vaccination and did not see any adverse reactions whatsoever. That is a beautiful thing. I only, hope that these same parents had enough compassion and caring in their hearts to worry about my child without brushing it off as a coincidence. This is what I am told, it is just a coincidence. These people tell me I am just looking for something to blame. They never think that blame is not really the goal. If we as parents of these children have something tangible, we actually have something we can work towards recovering from.

Yet I am told, by people in life and on the internet that I hate my child for whom he is. This is the farthest from the truth. I am closer to my child than most, due to this. I spend more time with my child, working with his issues than most people could even imagine. While everyone else is going about life, playing sports and enjoying the world, our world is full of medical treatments, supplement, medications and therapies.

So... Yes I am emotionally charged. This is my life and my child's life. While most of the people that tell me vaccinations had nothing to do with my child's issues and that even though I saw him change just hours after receiving this vaccination, after disregarding anything I have to say, they go home to their perfectly functioning child.

How would you feel if your child was in hit by a car in front of your own eyes and he ended with brain damage, and the people around you told you, "Yes he was hit by a car, but it is just a coincidence that he has brain damage now? We understand you hate your child for what he is, but you cannot blame that on the accident." This is the reality that we face when we speak with people such as you. Emotionally charged? You betcha!

Keep reporting and telling the truth. It is refreashing to see mainstream media take this issue to heart and report on it in an unbias way. Thank you!

My son was speaking several words before his vaccines, was bright, happy, healthy, engaging, but after his shots he did not speak again till he was almost 4. The night of his shots he screamed and cried for hours and hours. The ER said it was normal to give tylenol or motrin. Then he started having toxic diapers, ear infections and upper respiratory infections. Oral antibiotics did nothing, I finally had to ask for an antibiotic shot. Then the yeast infections. He'd be well for a week or so and it would start all over again. I think Autism is a whole body illness not just a neurological disorder. He changed from speaking healthy and happy baby to a miserable,screaming sickly baby overnight. I cringe every single time I hear that vaccines do not cause autism. It's such a lie. I wish it was genetic! It would be soooo much easier to deal with, to accept that this is how my child was born. But its not and it wasn't. I allowed and held him as he was injected. Foolishly I signed the paper that said I was responsible(I did not know I believed they were safe)I love my child more then I could ever put into words. The therapies, diet changes, tons' of one on one time together, it has been a very interesting journey of highs and lows. The lowest point was when we took him to a pediatric psychologist and she told my husband and I that our son would never love us, he would never speak, never hug, never be a "real" child for us. She said that we should think about putting him in a "HOME" and concentrate on our other children. I had no words for her just kinda sat in shock. I'm not sure what I had been expecting but that was not it. That suggestion wasn't even a possiblility our son had a home. So I wrote that Dr. off as useless. Vaccines can destroy lives just as much as some think that they save them. Yes my family forged through it and we are doing fine, but it would be so much easier for my son if he had never became ill from vaccines. I don't speak out about them to be antivaccine, I was a parent that thought they were just what you were suppose to do. Babies and kids get vaccinated... end of story, the doctor says so and they know what they are talking about right? Young, nieve, trusting, whatever my son has his vaccines, he also has a life long disability that he did NOT have before. Please research know what you are injecting into your child, understand what they do to a baby's system, how they work, whats in them. Find out before your child is vaccinated and ends up with life long complications. 1 in 88 now, the numbers are very scary.

Thank you, CBS and Sharyl Attkisson for your honest reporting!
I don't believe for a minute that the money they receive doesn't sway their opinions (Dr. Offit, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and Every Child by Two). I consider it a crime when parents are assured that vaccines are safe--when it is absolutely not true. Anyone who has an Internet connection can go to the VAERS database and see thousands of reports of adverse reactions after vaccinations, including death in some cases.
Pediatricians, insurance companies, government authorities, and the mainstream media (in most cases) all tell parents that vaccines are safe and effective and that there is no connection between vaccines and autism. Parents are not told about the risks of vaccination, and even when there is an adverse reaction, they are usually told that it was not related to the vaccine.
If a person is going to have surgery or some medical procedure, that person is told about possible risks or complications. In fact it is legally required. Vaccines are an exception to the established principle of informed consent. Parents are NOT informed. They are told that adverse reactions are "rare" and that the "benefits outweigh the risks." I wonder how many are told that there is no liability on the part of either the doctor or the vaccine manufacturer.
When my brother got a flu shot, he could not use his arm for several days. He went back to the clinic or wherever it was he got the shot to ask why he was unable to use his arm, and he was immediately told that it had nothing to do with the shot.

Thanks for reporting this! We think there should more independent journalism/research about vaccination.
Check out the first ever nutritional support for infants and kids during vaccination, VacciShield. www.vaccishield.com Created by a naturopathic doctor and new mother VacciShield's unique blend of probiotics, vitamins, minerals and an amino acid are backed by current research that shows how the ingredients in VacciShield support healthy immune, gastrointestinal, brain and detoxification function during vaccinations!

Every Child By Two provided written responses to this reporters questions and participated in a phone interview. Ask yourself why this reporter would state that we declined to participate in the interview? It seems that this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black - Sharyl Atkisson has reported falsely again and again on the vaccines causing harm story. When does a reporter cross the line into zealotry? The policy for ECBT's acceptance of funds is posted at the bottom of the following link http://www.ecbt.org/aboutecbt/
This policy is strictly adhered to in order to ensure that our programs maintain credibility. Most importantly, we never support the use of any particular vaccines - instead we educate the public about the diseases prevented by vaccines, choosing not to discuss the merits of one pharmaceutical product over another. In addition, this reporter is well aware that tax records are readily available for free on the internet for all non-profit organizations, we directed the reporter to that site to declare our funding amounts. Again, why would this reporter claim otherwise and deny such knowledge of the existence of tax records? Our organization is dedicated to saving the lives of children and we take this mission to heart. Amy Pisani, Executive Director, Every Child By Two

You also need to educate the public about the dangers of vaccines. Let me tell you something, whether you publicly admit it or not, your opinions are based on the money that you receive from the vaccine makers. And you can not tell me that does not sway your opinion. I have worked in the insurance industry for over 20 years and let me tell you, money can buy you whatever you request in a report. I see it! It is not my opinion, it is fact! I don't feel sorry for you after all that you have helped promote and not being completely truthful about the adverse effects of vaccines and in many cases, their limited positive affects. You need to come clean and start telling the truth. If vaccines were oh so safe, there would be no need for the vaccine injury fund. We are not just talking about a few kids having minor adverse effects. We are talking tens of thousands. Let's start allowing the vaccine manufacturers as well as the doctors who provide the vaccine injections start facing the legal consequences and see how safe vaccines are then.

This Reporter has no reason to lie nor falsely report about your organization, however you have every reason to CYA where destroying the health of, and killing children with toxic vaccines is concerned...you are not credible, find another line of work. People are waking up and no longer believing in you.

I send patients to the hospital for severe reactions to vaccines and the hospital says there cannot be a connection. Meanwhile drugs are being pumped into the kids with no diagnosis. I see the adverse effects listed by the vaccine company, but these don't get reported to VAERS so it seems fine on statistics. Kids are not the same, not walking, etc, but you keep pushing this issue and ignore the harsh side effects I and families have to deal with. Nobody should say it is great to vaccinate and it comes without risk.

The director for the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has publically stated: "Norway is a small country and it is therefore difficult to find experts who do not have connections with the pharmaceutical industry".

Never was a truer word said. The question may nevertheless be asked: What is done by the Norwegian health authorities to tackle this problem?
Unfortunately the answer appears to be "Nothing".

Thank you CBS! Not only have you supported freedom of speech by allowing the NVIC/Mercola advertisement, you reported facts even though I am sure this will bring more pressure on you from vaccine interests to censor the news we see. THANK YOU for some independent news reporting!!!!

I find it humorous that 90% of articles written about vaccines are pro-vaccine and one sided but if their is an article that is questioning vaccines it is questioned for being one sided. Seriously people, what are you so afraid why. Knowledge is power. If the pro-vaccine people are so confident why the concern about having an informed public. How can people believe that there is no valid research for delayed scheduling or not having vaccinations due to the load they put on a child's body etc. but that all their research is 100% accurate and not money motivated at all.

The vaccination program is the biggest crime against humanity that ever was--and it's directed at our most vulnerable population. Most doctors are clueless on this and just take the word of pharmaceutical companies and their well-payed-for studies, and of the agencies/"experts" mentioned above. I can hardly go a day without hearing of another parent whose had a child injured by a vaccine. I just met a mother Sunday, at a restaurant, whose child went into a coma state for 8 hours following a vaccine, and then developed symptoms of Asberger's, and has had a rash and fever almost once every month since. The only way we can expose this "miracle cure," for the mass, systematic poisoning of our children that it is, is if parents of injured children come forward in any way they can to tell their stories, and open-minded people in the medical field, take the time and read the studies that supposedly prove vaccine safety from front to back, not just the summaries, and not just an article in a medical journal. I understand you are busy, but if parents are trusting you to inject these drugs (and that's what they are!) into their babies, then it is your moral responsibility to read every single piece of data about them with an open mind. To just buy into the current belief that vaccines are the best thing to come along, and are saving children from "horrific" diseases (which most people my age recovered from as children as if it was a cold or mild flu, by the way!) without checking all of the data both for and against that theory, is a crime too! Researchers, DO the research! Doctors, READ the independent research in its entirety! And if it leaves you even a little hesitant about the safety, risk your reputation and speak about it! The more of you who come forward, the less likely that the vaccine-pushers can discredit you. Do the right thing!
I sincerely hope that CBS, and other news stations will continue with more articles such as this, and really do independent and thorough investigating on this issue. We owe it to our children!
