Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Tonight's episode of Law & Order SVU involved vaccines, specifically the MMR. The plot was that a young, irresponsible mother lost her 8 month old daughter. Turned out later that the child was dead and died of measles. She got the measles from a boy who's mother had not vaccinated him. During the trial, the Medical examiner was asked about side effects of the MMR vaccine. She went through a list of them, but did NOT include Autism. I was rather surprised by that. Several times autism could have been mentioned as a reason to not take the vaccine, but it never was. Looks like science is beginning to gain some ground. On the other hand, I did see an Autism Speaks commercial the other day, at 2 AM. Used to see them all the time, but not so much anymore.

" If you take a look at their tax forms (IRS Form 990) for earlier years, you will discover that they spend more in fundrasing than they take in, and most of their grant money they spend on study. They cannot afford to buy prime time commercial space in mass quantities. Administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
