vax segment update

[Guest guest]

well, it was a brief one, but i thought it was balanced. it began with

home video footage of a little boy around 2 years, and a voice-over with

his name, how he was developing (ie starting to speak in sentences, etc).

then his mother was talking on camera, saying how he'd begun to change

after his shot. he would spin in circles and was grunting more than

talking.

there was also an interview w/a doctor from ohsu (oregon health sciences

university). he has 2 sons, 5 and 8 yrs., who are autistic, and he thinks

that looking into a vaccine-autism connection is something that should be

done.

the report said that some believe that the mercury poisoning (they were

basically saying that kids could have mercury poisoning as opposed to

autism) begins at birth, when a newborn is injected hours after birth.

then it continues with the administration of the mmr vax. they totally

skipped over the shots in-between those two.

of course, they had the spin doctor on, some pedi (forget where from, some

children's hospital i think), saying vaccines are " absolutely safe " and go

through " rigorous testing " before being approved by the fda. (at this point

i screamed an obscenity at the television and asked " what about the

rotovirus vax that KILLED children? " )

soooooo....not a bad report, all things considered. about what i expected.

Nah, " only " a couple died thanks to their monitoring system, the

rest needed surgery, but were recovered " fine " . THe disgusting tragedy is

that the creators/researchers KNEW the intussception (sp?) would occur

because that is exactly what happened in their study of Chinese children, but

didn't think it was relevant to mention to the FDA panel (not that they would

have cared).
