		<description>ok, you all know so much, what do you tell a parent who knows their child was normal before the shot?    That its for the greater good?   You tell a parent with a child with autism that it was required so 150 kids or so would not get itchy bumps?     I will tell you that I was pro vaccine 25 years ago when I took my daughter for her dpt shot, and she never stopped screaming until the Dr. hospitalized her the same day and sedated her.   3 days later she came home different and deaf.   All the Dr. could say was never to get the p (pertussis) part of the dpt again.   Drs. knew 25 years ago.     My beautiful daughter is married to a wonderful man who was also vaccine injured.   22 years ago at age 4 he had Guillian-Barre syndrome, and was hospitalized for 6 months, and had to learn to walk, talk, feed himself, and potty train again.   All the Dr. could say was to never get another vaccination again.   Isnt that odd, two vaccine injured people meeting and marrying?    Or is it becoming so common now that its not unlikely.     When are you going to realize that anti vaccine people have a very good reason?    They are not paranoid, they are warning other people in good conscience.   I hope none of you know it alls end up on the other side of the fence like me.    Both were perfectly  normal before the shots.    Should I not have been given the choice of whether my daughter would have whooping cough or be deaf all her life.    Things change, we  had to learn to sign, get hearing aids, special ed. put up with mean people, etc.  Do you think autistic children just disappear?    They dont, somebody has to care for them, and your tax dollars pay for their high cost of education.   And if Obama care passes, your tax dollar will pay for their medical care also.   Once again pharmaceutical companies get away with it, dumping their damaged, injured people, on the backs of the public.     Things will change when people say enough, and say their children can get measles, mumps and rubella, so another child wont have to suffer through life autistic.   I would have all three at the same time if I could save a child from autism.    I think its much more common for a child to have autism than for a pregnant woman to be exposed to rubella, but I have a deaf foster adult whose mother had rubella, and she is much better off than an autistic child, I can guarantee it.    I realize most people get their children vaccinated because the law requires it in their state, but how did we let this happen?    How can we fight it and win?   Vaccines are all about money, and I think I could prove it if we could take the profit out of it.   Even the Drs. who claim they dont make money on vaccines still make money on the office visit.    Please understand vaccines DO cause damage, and have a little compassion for the suffering out there who were minding their own business doing what they thought was right and got blindsided, and remember that just because it hasnt happened to you yet, or a beloved family member, that doesnt mean that it couldnt.    God bless you and remember that the nurses in New York  who protested against forced vaccinations, work with sick people all the time, and most likely come into contact with vaccine injured adults.    You are being warned.   If you want to have an informed opinion, go to a meeting of vaccine injured people and find out their stories, and then talk about it.   You are outside of the real life experiences of suffering people and your flip comments are insulting to peoples intelligence.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s talk about that Japanese study and what the author of this article DID NOT reveal. Signing on as an author to give the study some credibility with Europeans and Americanadians was a guy named Michael Rutter, a well-known expert witness for the drug companies and vaccine companies. Look up some vaccine court cases, you will find him testifying for the defense.

That&#039;s a large conflict of interest.

The author doesn&#039;t mention that while the MMR was stopped the Japanese continued to vaccinate with single dose vaccines instead of the triple dose. That ommission speaks volumes for the credibility, honesty or research abilities this author doesn&#039;t have.</description>

		<description>Vaccines in fact do cause autism. Looks at the drug companies own studies. Look at the lawsuits which were paid out. It is a fact no matter how much you drug company bloggers try to fool the public.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t believe vaccines are the cause and only source of Autism... but I do believe there is a definite link between vaccines containing thimerosal and autism. Do you honetly think because doctors don&#039;t back up the theory it means it isn&#039;t possibly true?  Did it ever occur to you that there is a much larger cover up than we could even imagine.  Read this intriguing article by Robert F Kennedy Jr... and then tell me there isn&#039;t a cover of between the Pharm companies and the government.  Becky and Pat.. I agree with you a well on your statements!
