Re: Hepatitis B Vaccine Triples the Risk of Autism in Infant Boys

[Guest guest]

I find it amazing that there was no media coverage of this

study. At least none that I had seen. The Hep B vaccine given to newborn babies

is really an atrocity. Unless the mother or immediate care giver has hep B

there is no way for the new born to contract the illness. Why is it given so

early is beyond me and I am yet to find an answer to this question. As a medical

professional I refused the vaccine for myself and certainly my children did not

get it.

Dr Mercola has been great with

articles on vaccines and autism. Here's the latest. I'm copying it in part. His

comments and the readers' comments are always most informative. Instead of the

sine flu vaccine, etc, he advocates Vitamin D3. You can search other articles

Hepatitis B Vaccine Triples the Risk of Autism in Infant

Boys

Posted by: Dr. Mercola

A

new study has shown that giving Hepatitis B vaccine to newborn baby boys more

than triples their risk of developing an autism spectrum disorder.

The study’s authors used U.S. probability samples obtained from National

Health Interview Survey (NHIS) 1997–2002 datasets.

The conclusion states that: “Findings suggest that U.S. male neonates

vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine had a 3-fold greater risk of ASD.”

The authors also noted that an earlier study by them found

that hepatitis B vaccination was associated with receipt of early intervention

and special education services.

The new study used a different database than their earlier study, and they

found same results, suggesting a validation of their findings.

Hi Shirley,

You knew more than we did. My Grandson was vaccinated at two weeks of age in 1994 and was never the same...stopped nursing, screamed for months and as he was verbal, wasn't diagnosed until age 3 3/4 with PPD,NOS. They were a military family and did what the medical staff recommended. My daughter is very distraught that she might have prevented this, had she known. We must get the message out that this vaccine is dangerous and unnecessary for infants.

I never understood why infants get this vaccine. Correct me if I'm wrong but the only way to get Hepatitis B is from sexual relations or sharing dirty needles? Or in the case of an infant if the mother has Hepatitis. So unless the mother has this, or if an infant needs a blood tranfusion why does a newborn even need this vaccine? Am I missing something here?I wish I had asked this question at the time of my daughther's birth...Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®From: Jra63666@...Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2009 15:29:09 EDTTo: <sList >Subject: Re: Hepatitis B Vaccine Triples the Risk of Autism in Infant Boys Hi Shirley, You knew more than we did.

I am so sorry to hear your story. I agree that the information

should be widespread. I hope he is doing well today.

Me too. The Hepatitis B vaccine was not given to my three older children, who are neurotypical. My two youngest ASD boys did receive it. It makes you wonder.

You are correct about how it is transmitted although you could

also get it from a contaminated surface if you have a break in your skin and

you come in contact with it (at least that was what we were taught in nursing

school). I think the Hep B virus can survive relatively long on a surface

compared to AIDS but I do not remember all the details. Regardless, a newborn should

not be a candidate for this vaccination unless the mother or the caretaker is

ill.

Me too, however, we did not give it to the two younger ones it even

though they were receiving some of the other vaccines. We chose not to include

this one for the exact reasons you stated.

The decision to give it so early was based off of the idea that parents would

not be worried enough to bring there child in for a HepB vac. So they slip in

the shot right when your less likely not to fight. Labor does leave you with

less energy for fighting authority figures.

I am surprised that they have not tried to do the new Vac for the cervical

cancer virus at an early age too?

Hep B can live about 3 days on a surface, AIDS virus, just hours

The " rationale " is that we cannot expect moms to tell the truth about

their risk factors, and the mom may not even know--what if her partner

has been cheating on her or using drugs and not telling her?

There is a window of time after infection where the mom will not test

positive on a blood test--what if she is in that window?

A weak rationale to justifies the universal distribution of the

vaccine--it is not profitable unless everyone gets it.
