Abbey, RN, CNS 09/09/2010 Vactruth.com Three minute summary presentation to: The Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines – 09/02/2010 Vaccine critics are saying we are trading vaccine preventable infectious diseases for chronic health disorders. How can we reasonably say, “Vaccines don’t cause or contribute to autism” when we don’t know what does cause autism!  And vaccine concerns are no longer just about Autism—they’re about children’s total health. Armies of parents are reporting that they took a normally developing child to the pediatrician for routine shots and their child’s health or behavior changed–never to be the same as before that visit.  Thousands upon thousands of parents report similar “coincidental” symptoms related in time t... vactruth.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3954264 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:44:17 +0100 3954264 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3499251&cid=t_217177_131_f&fid=34989&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FGeneticsHealth%2F%7E3%2FO2yp61K5EXE%2F Shortly after your baby is born, the vaccinations begin. In the first 18 months of a child’s life, most pediatricians recommend 20 different vaccinations that protect against 11 diseases. And each state has immunization requirements when children enter public schools. But should you blindly accept what is being injected into your kids? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and American Medical Association will all tell you that the slight risks of vaccinations are outweighed by the benefits. However, many parents are still questioning whether their kids need all these vaccines. Approximately one percent of children in the U.S. are not immunized. Parents worry about the mercury in Thimerosal, a preservative used in vaccines, though it was removed fr...

It’s hard to take on a powerhouse media deity like Oprah, because of her positive influence in so many people’s lives. It’s harder to stand fast with your criticism, and yet Newsweek appears to be doing just that. From actress Suzanne Somers’ use of “bioidentical” hormones to combat aging to Jenny McCarthy, the Playboy model and actress, who promotes the completely discredited theory that childhood vaccines may cause autism, Oprah’s been there making sure these poor stars get a spotlight on their causes. Would Oprah give the same airtime to a random doctor pr...

How come autism is still prevalent and, in fact, apparently on the rise?” “Urm, vaccines have toxins!!” “What?” “Toxins. ToxinsToxinsToxins!!!” Sigh.
