Vaccines and Autism: The Unending Story (Newsweek)

link

The director of the CDC hasn't been able to review the relevant case files (ie. Hannah Poling)... she must be busy with more important stuff... but still admits that vaccines can cause 'autism-like symptoms'

Yes, but only insofar as the vaccine gave them an illness, and they were genetically predisposed to develop this life-altering condition in response to an illness somewhere along the line.

My friend's daughter has Type 1 diabetes. Genetically, she was a ticking time bomb. It was pretty much a guarantee that she was going to get it at some point. It happened that when she was four, she got hand-foot-and-mouth disease, a pretty typical disease as far as kids go, and it triggered the shutdown of her pancreas. But it's entirely possible that a vaccine when she was younger could have triggered it too. Would the vaccine have "caused" her diabetes in that case?

I don't know Clod.
I would think it ethical for the CDC/FDA to know the answer to that before mandating vaccines though...

Mandating vaccines stopped epidemics that caused far more serious loss of life, disabilities, etc.

You want to stack up these alleged "vaccine victims" with, say, the number of people paralyzed with Polio since we started recording cases?

Or the number of people that died of smallpox vs the number of people who died from the vaccine (nobody denies the occasional fatality from the vaccine in that case)?

Wow, we went right from screaming MURDERER!! about a researcher who wanted some safety studies done on shit they want to inject into healthy children - to well yeah, they can fuck people up but still....

You don't think no longer shitting where we drink, throwing sewage and garbage into the streets, drinking from the same cup hanging off the water bucket, not bathing ever much less washing the hands, doctors not washing their hands... none of these things made a difference? It was all the vaccines? Antibiotics knocking out secondary infections... nothing?

The polio vaccine being successful means it's all good eh? Whatever comes down the pike is just awesome because no one ends up in an iron lung anymore. 36 injections before age 2 and more in the works because if a little is good, more is better right? Besides, the government would never let anything hurt us.

It amazes me though, the different reactions to "vaccines might cause harm to some people" vs. "you might get the flu".

Because only sick kids get polio or measles.

Or words to that effect.

Do you understand the differences in prevention and treatment between bacterial and viral infections?

But there's a difference between doing safety studies even if they're unpopular, and faking the results of those studies.

A journalist said he faked the results of his study (not a safety study) - none of the other co-authors have said he did or it wouldn't have taken a journalist and 11 years to raise the alarm.... I'll wait for more info before jumping on the MURDER!! bandwagon myself.

Thx for representin' teh cuckoo bandwagon, tho. We can't have our fist-shaking threads too insular.

jinx . . . I just called you a cuckoo

I know and I'm planning to kill myself in a few minutes because I am so hurt by your callousness. I hope you're happy now.

Right after you kill yourself, do you mind if I have sex with your body while it's still warm?
