Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Certainly something I have pondered.........

More than two-thirds of youngsters with the condition received four or more antibiotics in their first year, a survey revealed. It is thought the drugs weakened their immune systems, leaving them unable to withstand the impact of the triple jab. Look here too... Jon Tommey, publisher of Autism File magazine, attacked a 'cavalier attitude' to the measles, mumps and rubella jab and similar inoculations. 'Doctors need to pay more care to whether a child is well enough to be vaccinated,' he said. Mr Tommey said youngsters received four sets of multiple vaccines in their first year. 'There is evidence that giving children with weakened immune systems vaccinations such as MMR could damage sensitive areas, such as chemical pathways in the brain,' he added. Mr Tommey said his seven-year-old autistic son was perfectly normal but received five courses of antibiotics in his first year. Shortly afterwards, he had the MMR jab - not long after a course of antibiotics and while he was ill. The Autism Research Centre said: 'There seems less care these days about checking to see if a child is fit for immunisation.' Anti-MMR campaign group JABS said: 'There must be an urgent investigation into why our children are ill.' The Department of Health insists the MMR vaccine is safe. A senior government adviser has said that Tony Blair's refusal to say whether his son Leo was given an MMR injection had helped generate a lack of public confidence in the jab, writes Andy Dolan. Professor Brent challenged the Prime Minister to reveal whether Leo, now aged three, had been immunised. Latest figures show that one in five two-year-olds are not being given the measles, mumps and rubella jab - the highest proportion since the triple vaccine was launched in the late 1980s. If Leo had the jab at the age of two - as is standard practice - he would now be due for a booster. But Mr Blair and his wife Cherie have refused to comment on the matter, citing their son's right to privacy. Professor said: 'There's no doubt if Tony Blair was able to come out publicly and say, ''Yes, of course Leo had the MMR vaccination, of course he is going to get the booster'', then that would be a useful additional support to public confidence.' -------------------------------------------------------- Sheri Nakken, R.N., MA, Classical Homeopath Vaccination Information & Choice Network, Nevada City CA & Wales UK $$ Donations to help in the work - accepted by Paypal account vaccineinfo@... voicemail US 530-740-0561 (go to http://www.paypal.com) or by mail Vaccines - http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm Homeopathy On-Line course - http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/homeo.htm ANY INFO OBTAINED HERE NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS MEDICAL OR LEGAL ADVICE.
