"I would submit that the "public", that is those who are under the impression that unique must absolutely, entirely, 100% completely mean only 1 person in the entire universe, at all times in history, has been subject to this phenomena needs to put this title/statement in context. All of these people mentioned had an extremely rare reaction. Each of their bodies, for a multitude of reason, reacted differently than all of the other people, over all years (for decades), all over the world. I think that there is sufficient differences for these people to be considered unique.

In this context, I would submit that it is not a lie, but rather an error in perception and expectation."

Yes, but how many more errors in perception and expectation are there out there? I know of at least one, and I''m looking at him right now. And amazingly, there are all of these parents all saying nearly the exact same thing; their child was normal, their child got a vaccine, their child developed a fever, their child got autism.

Yes yes, the Church of the Immaculate Vaccination mantras and prayers come next. We all know them; "Correlation does not mean causation" and "But vaccines SAVE LIVES!"

Enough correlation, especially in these numbers, should be investigated more thorougly. The government refuses.

And vaccines also destroy lives. See all of the deaths from Rotateq and Rotashield; see the deaths from Gardasil. And look at what they did to our autistic children.

You wrote: "All of these people mentioned had an extremely rare reaction."

Again, I''ll submit some numbers for you. These are backed by scientific studies, including government backed research.

1 in 200 are born with gene that predisposes them to Mitochondrial issues. This isn''t a ''''rare'''' condition as the CDC would have us believing. Please remove ALL spaces from the link shown below:

Furthermore, even the government has stated that "mercury induces mitochondrial dysfunction with reduction in ATP, depletion of glutathione, and increased lipid peroxidation; increased oxidative stress is common. Selenium antagonizes mercury toxicity."

Put the 2 together and voila! the Autism Epidemic is here.

Think about it. The population of the USA alone is roughly 303,824, 646.00 1 in 200 translates to 1,519,123.00. Does that seem like an acceptable number to you?

Hey, rjbates and alyric,
The reason why she''s digging into this is because the CDC and the pHARMa-scum (tm) have been denying for years that there is any link. Then Hannah Poling''s case made national news, and the CDC et al said that it was unique. Then, Alexander Krakow''s case happened, and he was just like Hannah. But, Hannah is unique. Then, there was another case that Sharyl reported on from 1986 that was also unique. Then, there''s this case that''s unique.

She''s bringing up the fact that the public has been lied to.

Is there a plural of unique?

Classic incompetence:

Sharyl writes: "Previous blogs have discussed the case of Hannah Poling: a thimerosal (mercury) vaccine case the government conceded last fall (the mercury exposure in childhood vaccinations has been greatly reduced in recent years due to safety concerns)"

Read your own article Sharyl...and the report you ''reported'' on. The purported cause had nothing to do with thimerosal. It was the inoculation of too many vaccines at once into a metabolically-compromised child.

Or perhaps it isn''t merely an oversight on your part. Perhaps it is intentional. Maybe you can clear it up for us all. And while you''re at it, you could clarify the difference between thimerosal and mercury since you have equated the two as the same thing, which it is clearly not.

I guess I''m not sure what Sharyl is trying to pull here, but the fact that this (dead horse) "topic" seems to be brought up by her on a regular basis is suspicious at best.

It nis nothing short of outrageous that Sharyl Attkissn claims these cases are ''investigative reporting''. They were reported by Kathleen Seidfel 5 months ago.

"Sheryl,thank you for showing that this issue has been kept secret by the government for many years revealing a disturbing pattern by those who should have been sounding the alarm!!!!! "

My point exactly. And how does this "report" from Sheryl shows clearly a conspiracy again? Because a patient was compensated for a specific instance of a serious adverse event. Therefore, there is a conspiracy.

Nonsense.

"What in heaven''''s name are you talking about, rj? What is wrong in Sharyl discovering a report originating from 1974 evidencing a firm link between a vaccine and terrible neuro damage to a child?"

What is wrong is Sheryl has continually presented ''reports'' about this issue with an intent. Not to disseminate information concerning medical science, but to foster the perception of conspiracy and cover-up. That is the problem. The reality is that vaccines are not the underlying driver for autism, but innuendo on this level keeps parents confused, which results in the real issue: that they may also, in fact, NOT their children immunized and place them and others in the community in danger from preventable, infectious diseases.

If you have a problem understanding this concept, you should spend less time validating your conspioracy theory, which Sheryl has been nice enough to help you with, and take the time to examine the diseases that immunizations protect children from.
