Chemar Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Recently, I was amazed to hear a commentary by CNN's Campbell Brown on the controversial vaccine issue. After a ruling by the 'special vaccine court' saying the Measles, Mumps, Rubella shot wasn't found to be responsible for the plaintiffs' autism, she and others in the media began making assertions that the judgment was in, and vaccines had been proven safe. No one would be more relieved than Jenny and I if that were true. But with all due respect to Ms. Brown, a ruling against causation in three cases out of more than 5000 hardly proves that other children won't be adversely affected by the MMR, let alone that all vaccines are safe. This is a huge leap of logic by anyone's standards. Not everyone gets cancer from smoking, but cigarettes do cause cancer. After 100 years and many rulings in favor of the tobacco companies, we finally figured that out. The truth is that no one without a vested interest in the profitability of vaccines has studied all 36 of them in depth. There are more than 100 vaccines in development, and no tests for cumulative effect or vaccine interaction of all 36 vaccines in the current schedule have ever been done. If I'm mistaken, I challenge those who are making such grand pronouncements about vaccine safety to produce those studies. If we are to believe that the ruling of the 'vaccine court' in these cases mean that all vaccines are safe, then we must also consider the rulings of that same court in the Hannah Polling and Bailey Banks cases, which ruled vaccines were the cause of autism and therefore assume that all vaccines are unsafe. Clearly both are irresponsible assumptions, and neither option is prudent. In this growing crisis, we cannot afford to blindly trumpet the agenda of the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) or vaccine makers. Now more than ever, we must resist the urge to close this book before it's been written. The anecdotal evidence of millions of parents who've seen their totally normal kids regress into sickness and mental isolation after a trip to the pediatrician's office must be seriously considered. The legitimate concern they and many in the scientific community have that environmental toxins, including those found in vaccines, may be causing autism and other disorders (Aspergers, ADD, ADHD), cannot be dissuaded by a show of sympathy and a friendly invitation to look for the 'real' cause of autism anywhere but within the lucrative vaccine program. With vaccines being the fastest growing division of the pharmaceutical industry, isn't it possible that profits may play a part in the decision-making? That the vaccine program is becoming more of a profit engine than a means of prevention? In a world left reeling from the catastrophic effects of greed, mismanagement and corporate insensitivity, is it so absurd for us to wonder why American children are being given twice as many vaccines on average, compared to the top 30 first world countries? ....................... to read the rest of this commentary by Jim Carrey on today's Huffington Post please go to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-carrey/t...s_b_189777.html
myrose Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 On all these people who push the vacinations into schedule and who make them etc.... I would REALLY like to see a shot record from one of their children (if the COLD HEARTED Jerks even have any!) This whole thing makes me so very mad. I was just looking at pictures yesterday of my daughter and remembered how she used to be before her 9 shots. No matter how well she seems to do now, it still breaks my heart that I was not informed of a possible predispostion she might of had before the shots were given. Sometimes I feel as though I was not a good Mom in the sense that "I should have known" these things. We no longer vaccinate ANYTHING in this house...not even the two minature pinshers we have running around. Its real sad that apparently the veterinarians figured it out long ago and actually tried to fix something whereas the rest of them stayed stupid or maybe (rich) is the word I should use..... Sorry no spell check......running so far behind!!!
