Quote From: raeraeusaI want to say thank you to everyone who pointed out that there (and I shall reiterate)
NO LINK BETWEEN VACCINATIONS AND AUTISM. I got so mad when Dr. Phil had that "specialist" say that there may or may not be a link that I turned off the show! There is absolutely no evidence to support the vaccination theory and therefore NO, there is NO link between autism and vaccinations. I'm sure the "specialist" was just covering his butt legally, but still...have the courage to say, 'look, here's the facts and we have no reason to believe otherwise until further solid evidences can be presented to the contrary.'
Who told you that? It is untrue.
There have been studies that DO SHOW A LINK BETWEEN VACCINES AND AUTISM. Physicians are finally starting to turn away from the pharmaceutical reps and listen to independent researchers and the parents of autistic children.
Do the research. Look it up yourself. Start with the report from the IOM... read the actual data. Read the actual package inserts of the vaccines themselves, and look at what is being injected into babies a few hours old.
Find out how the drug companies determined these were "safe"... what reactions they decided might be "side effects" and which ones were not... how long they watched for side effects (a few weeks at most)... what studies were done to find out the long-term (think year or more) effects of vaccines on babies' health (there are no studies on this).
Look for research done on what effects might arise from babies having multiple vaccines, from the cumulative effect of all these chemicals injected directly into their bloodstreams before their immune system is developed enough to tolerate rice cereal... there are no studies on this. None No one bothered to ask, or answer.
Dr. Sears said there may or may not be a link between autism and vaccines because the FACT is that based on all available solid evidence, the most positive thing the experts (those not affiliated with Big Pharma) can say is that they just do not know. Others, including Dr. Lawliss, do implicate vaccines.
Seriously. Look beyond the doctor's office pamplets and Dr. Offit's vaccine-patent-heavy rhetoric. Do the research.
When you realize what little has been done to protect the lives of our children, how the mental and physical health of 1% of an entire generation was sacrificed for the sake of profit, ideology, and liability, well...
Then you'll really have something to be angry about.
