Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I haven't seen Oprah yet (doesn't come on till 3:00 p.m. here), but based on the fact that has joined NAA and Safe Minds shows me how brave she is. It must be hard to step out against your parents...or have a differing viewpoint since most of us really aren't raised that way. By putting herself out there, speaking out, joining these boards goes to show how she's just like us. She has power and influence because of who she is, I'm proud that she's chosen to use that power towards good.

It's probably my fault as I said I would hate to be at their Easter dinner table this year. Yes, it's an assumption, I didn't mean any harm by it. It's just an impression that I have since her speaking out seems to be against what her mom says on TV and what the whole Autism Speaks agenda represents. How could you NOT have tension in a family? It would be natural? But again, I'm assuming and you know what that can do!!

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I think depending where you live it might be on earlier. When I lived near Chicago- The show aired earlier.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm in Chicago and the Oprah show just finished. The doctor they had on the show said the usual that all the studies show there is no link between vaccines and autism. Oprah was actually the one who asked her about the link, the doctor was just going with the genetic predisposition and no one knows the trigger. Later in the show, speaks up and says she needs to refute what the doctor says and she believes the vaccines played a role in her son's autism. The great thing is they showed video of Christian at the age of two with his baby brother as typical as could be, talking and engaging with his parents and brother. If I was a parent without a child on the spectrum I surely would be wondering what happened to make that child develop autism. Oprah later had to give the standard CDC line on the cause of autism, I'm sure to appease her sponsors and you could tell the doctor and Singer were not happy with 's comments.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Good for ! Explains NAA's timely announcement that she is now on their board. I am thrilled she said that, and I can't wait to see the show. However, we still have to deal with the monster that is Autism Speaks. > > > > > > Thank you for " opening the can " .

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 No, this was strictly an awareness show. Some of the parents did mention some traditional therapies they used, ABA, VB, OT, speech, but they did not talk about any treatments. did try a couple of times to get in there that her son was constantly sick and another mother mentioned that her son was fine until he came down with some respiratory virus. > > > > > > Thank you for " opening the can " .

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 did an extremely brave thing, something her parents were unable to do (because of relationships, history, industry connections, etc.). Oprah cracked the door, put a crowbar in. This was an extremely significant event, with an overlay of real-world politics done in a sophisticated manner to provide cover. Very, very impressive.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I got this off my DVR In a previous segment the autism expert doctor said that there is no link to autism and vaccines….blah.blah,blah. Then after the segment Oprah turned to who said… “I have to refute what the doctor said vehemently…the vaccine connection has not been refuted at all…if fact we give 37 vaccines to babies under the age of eighteen months…..no body has shown that is safe….a wise idea...multiple vaccines at once….my son is sick all the time…he has constant immune reactions to everything…his allergies are exploding….you look at food allergies… asthma…autism…it is all connected…” Oprah let her say it!!! Then Oprah came back and gave the CDC line….. Then she turned to and said “You wanted to open the can…it’s open.” Thank you Oprah and !

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I have a feeling Oprah had this show put together so quickly and it was LIVE on purpose. So there could be no editing, no pressure, etc. Thank you and Oprah! Next, How do we capitalize on this???? And why does everyone assume ’s family is dysfunctional? The higher ups that run AS are not and Bob, they are the celebrity faces. Maybe did not want to say anything until her father was no longer at NBC. Maybe he just told her to do what she had to do and she ran with it. On Larry King it was yelling about environmental causes pretty strongly.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Who said 's family is dysfunctional? Please STOP saying Bob and Suzanne have no say so in the organziation they co-founded. If I put my name and reputation behind something I would sure as hell ensure that it represented me well. They would be really stupid and incompetent fools if that was the case- which I doubt. And yelling about " environmental causes " is not the same thing as yelling about vaccines. > > I have a feeling Oprah had this show put together so quickly and it was LIVE > on purpose.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I don't think Oprah is going to go out of her way to fly our flag. Unless, like today, one of her guests is respected enough to be given a voice to talk about our side on this issue... it's not likely anytime soon. I don't think she'll host a show specifically on causation. Not without something BIG happening in the media FIRST... something to make it " okay " to talk about. And it wouldn't hurt if the network wasn't airing any pharmaceutical ads that day... >Maybe Oprah will do another show now specifically on this > topic. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 They created the organization, they should be able to get rid of those who are unwilling to embraces their ideas... fire your board and start over. > And why does everyone assume 's family is dysfunctional?
