Got to thinking...  

I am not sure about the shots, but I think it is very strange how so many children are autistic (one of my step-sons is autistic). I don't know what is causing this, but I do know that it isn't good. I agree that the FDA is corrupt, they have been in the pockets of corporations for decades.

Who are the private entities that question the FDA? I sure isn't the drug companies that buy the FDA, they are the ones that need to in jail, but that never happens. I don't think that Universal Health care will do anything to change the way the FDA is. There is alot of money involved in the FDA, and corporations have no problem throwing around money when Billions are at stake. Do you really think this is going to stop if there is Universal Health care?

Why would they want to? Vaccinations are there to prevent the contraction and spread are far more deadly illnesses besides autism.

I do think that it is necessary to public health to get children vaccinated, and I truly doubt the claim that these vaccinations have any part in autism. Would you want to risk your child's health over an unproved claim?

This has never been proven, has no scientific basis and means the same as when they called the mothers of autistic children "refrigerator moms". Junk science.

I believe that all you people who believe this are paranoid. It is only ONE vaccine that is worried about - The MMR Vaccine. Here is what I have found on it.
The benefits of this vaccine are - Measles, Mumps, Rubella (German Measles, which means that it Originated in Germany but can be caught by children)

Measles ran Rampant through 1990 and 1991 - 20 percent of children that caught it were hospitalized and 1 out of 400 died. (Man, do you want your kid to be that one?)

The link to Autism -
In 1997, a paper was published by an investigator (Andrew Wakefeild - who, please note isn't a doctor) of wich said that he found several outbreaks of autism following the vaccine.

Children are given the vaccine at 12/15 months old and Autsim is diagnosed when the child is at least two years of age. So with that period of time, it is merely a coincidence that these children have autism.

I believe the vaccine is safe. Autism is something that a child is born with. And parents should love and accept their children for who they are, no matter what sort of challenge the child is born with.

Irish already stated that the thought that shots contribute to Autism has not been proven yet, and I also think that it is important to bear in mind that it is only recently in history that there has been any focus on what causes Autism, I mean heck it was only like 50 years ago, maybe less, that doctors were still performing lobatomies on mental patients because they really thought it was a cure....it may turn out to be true that vaccines can cause Autism, but it is going to take YEARS of research and so as of yet, nothing is proven.

When I first was pregnant, over 7 years ago I got into this topic to be an overprotective parent... I went right out and joined the webbers against government control of hurting kids with poisoned shots.. and the unknown stayed in my head. Years later, living on welfare, I realized that is the standpoint to protect the wealth of an independant wealthy person who can choose each morsel of substainsance their child obsorbes..I got stuck with store bought formulas and manufactured bedroom sets... So that tells me, I can't choose if there is a real danger in prevention regulated shots. And if any parent like me tries to think different, then you they are neglecting their kids health, and the kid can't even be admitted to nursery school, let alone the entire public school system...

So, if you or people of your interests have a real intention to go into a court of law and demonstrate some actual case, than it is your right to. It is not just the FDA, it is the entire government and the system of wealth from the poorest to the richest who are responsible parents to make available an option for a different system.

While other governments can say they have dangerous risks, we can say we don't have an informercial to beg for rice portions to feed our kids: we have a welfare office to stand in line for..

The Kenyan in Chief, LOL!

I do not want the same government that employees three buttock scratches for every none scratched when it comes time to repave a road. When ever you drive by a section of road being worked on and you see that little sign road work ahead, why is it that I rarely see any body doing anything? Is that how my doctor is going to turn in to once he become a government employee?

Obama speaks about this public option, my question is if this public option is going to be so good why are Congressmen and Senators refusing to give up their own health care plans which are provided through private insurance companies? I think every Congressman and Senator that votes for this public option should be striped of their private health insurance, since we the taxpayers pay for it, and put on Medicaid.

Obama needs to get his head checked.
And Governor Palin has an autistic kid and she got knocked for it, but you know what, I think that just makes her a cooler choice for presidency if she goes out for it. She understands what other parents are going through when it comes to autism. Itsn't it better that we have someone who understands than some nimrod who just 'thinks' he knows whats best?

I think all the shot have something to do with it. my daughter an aleric reaction to one of the drugs in a shot...she now had sevre adhd and learing disaiblties. She also is blind in one and has partial vision in her other eye...my boys are fine...they never had any reaction, so yeah, I believe.

Many of the vaccinations are pushed through to be approved by the FDA very quickly because of the obscene amounts of money drug companies will make. We can debate all day about whether vaccines cause autism, but the fact of the matter is that there is corruption in the system. The quick rate of approval also happens with drugs, anyone remember Vioxx? People taking the drug suffered a higher rate of heart attack and stroke. Many of the studies are fabricated during the initial testing or results are "bought". Another vaccine to be weary of especially now is the Gardisil vaccine. Spain has recalled this vaccine due to the adverse effects on the young women receiving it. A phrase I have heard that has stuck with me is "health is an inside-out phenomenon" the body is an amazing thing, who knows what could result if everyone started eating better (and by that I mean non-genetically modified food).

Another interesting point to bring up is the new H1N1 flu. No matter where it came from I think the media ran an efficient campaign to create fear among the people. And who is going to profit from it in the fall? The drug companies.
