OT: PBS Sid the Science Kid Vax Episode

September 4, 2010

Ok - so my five year old son was watching his favorite PBS show this morning,

" Sid, the Science Kid " . He learns a lot from it.

As I am giving him his morning chelator dose: they start the show with a lesson

about " shots " - and how shots are good for you, no big deal, they help to

protect you from illness. Then they talk about how the flu shot is great, and

break into song about " get your flu shot it is good for you, makes you healthy

and protects you " from illness and how they give you a shot of " virus " and

antibodies are produced, and the kids put on a play, where one is the virus and

the other the antibodies. And that people who get their flu shot are good,

because they won't spread disease to others, unlike those who don't get the

shot.

Then they show you kids getting their shots and older kids getting the Flu mist

(and how simple it is to just takes this in your nose) - and how they are all

" protected and healthy " . Then the parents go on to say at the dinner table to

the kids that they got their flu shots too to protect themselves and their

family, and that even the family pets get their shots to be " healthy " . I wanted

to throw up. Then my son is watching this and wonders to me why he does not get

them. Ugh. What do you say? Gee honey, you got your full dose of mercury

already, and for 4 - 6 years I have to give you meds every 3 hours to reverse

the damage to your brain and body...

I was disgusted with this Big Pharma propoganda aimed at my child under the

guise of entertainment. My son loves PBS and I thought this was an improvement

over his prior obsession with the Disney channel and all things Disney. Guess I

was wrong. Even my dh who has trouble believing the Big Pharma/ government

conspiracy with regard to vaccines, was horrified, and felt the blatant

propoganda aimed at little children was out of bounds, and totally disgusting.

I know this is OT, but I had to vent. Also, what do you think I should tell my

son about this episode and its message? He is only 5, but his cognition and

language are just starting to take off as we approach 100 rounds, so now he is

more aware.
