I started on antiviral medications which<br />reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus<br />became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from<br />ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their<br />treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after<br />the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing<br />treatment!

If you can’t answer that, then you should quit your job. THAT is your due diligence. You have to answer this question.<br /><br />Here is the statement that HSRA resealed on this topic:<br /><br />“From: Bowman, David (HRSA) [mailto:DBowman@hrsa.gov]<br />Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 5:22 PM<br />To: 'dkirby@nyc.rr.com'<br />Subject: HRSA Statement<br /><br />David,<br /><br />In response to your most recent inquiry, HRSA has the following<br />statement:<br /><br />The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to<br />compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually<br />caused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which children<br />exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy<br />may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms<br />including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.<br /><br />Some children who have been compensated for vaccine injuries may have<br />shown signs of autism before the decision to compensate, or may<br />ultimately end up with autism or autistic symptoms, but we do not track<br />cases on this basis.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />David Bowman<br />Office of Communications<br />Health Resources and Services Administration<br />301-443-3376”<br /><br />The answer is YES! For many (most?) kids it is the same damn thing!!! HRSA releases a statement outright telling you that vaccines cause autism! <br /><br />And adds that they care so little about it that they don’t even check to see how often it happens!<br /><br />Why don’t you believe them?<br /><br />I am going to say, as a trained therapist, that it is denial.<br /><br />It is the Semmelweis reflex.<br /><br /><br />/end lectureGinger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-7555125421271348792011-02-13T16:07:22.409-05:002011-02-13T16:07:22.409-05:00...

Or at least look up the Semmelweiss reflex.<br /><br />You are using the psychological denial of pediatricians, fighting the horrible idea that they are causing damage to a generation of children, as proof that autism is not an iatrogenic illness.<br /><br />“Having given thousands of vaccines, and treated many children with autism, I (nor any doctor I have ever met) has seen a temporal correlation that would make causality likely. Of course that does not mean that sometimes one thing follows another, but if it is just as likely to come before or after the exposure then it isn't the cause.”<br /><br />Because you don’t want to see it. The doctors who do come to face this horrible reality… well it is a painful experience for them. Many of them had to leave their practices. I know one who is quitting mainstream medicine this spring to go outside the system and try to fix the damage that has been done. <br /><br />When docs start to get serious about this topic, and begin to quietly talk to us and to their colleagues who have woken up to the truth about the vaccine program, they always say two things… the two big psychological blocks that are the ones that would prevent them from coming over to our side:<br /><br />“If I believe as you do, then I can’t trust my professional association/public health any more. Not just on vaccine information, but for everything, because they are lying to me. How do I practice medicine then?<br /><br />And<br /><br />“If I believed as you do, I can’t do what I do any more.”<br /><br />“I am sorry this is so long winded but I want you to realize that those of us in medicine who treat these children are listening. We just can't find what you say you see, no matter how hard we look.”<br /><br />I don’t have any problem with long winded, as you can see. <br /><br />But you need to really ask yourself… are you actually looking hard? Is just reading the party line and not, for a moment, challenging the myriad of problems in their arguments really looking? I can tell you that you have not hardly looked into this at all if Paul Offit is who you are taking your cues from. He is Merck. Might as well take medial advice from the former cheerleader Merck rep walking into your office to sell you the newest drug.<br /><br />Tim Keller is a pastor in NY that I love. In talking to people on the question on whether or not God exists, he makes the challenge that there are some things that you can believe are not true, and there is little consequences if you are wrong. But that there are some things that you can’t just THINK that they aren’t true, you have to KNOW that they are not true. <br /><br />For you, in order to continue in your profession, you have to KNOW what I am telling you is NOT true. You don’t know that and you can’t know that. The science to demonstrate such has not been done.<br /><br />contGinger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-46732064638432719682011-02-13T16:04:30.303-05:002011-02-13T16:04:30.303-05:00...

If it is what the customer needs, then you have to give it to the customer before he will buy. So if you are not going to do it, then don’t be surprised that they don’t buy your product.<br /><br />“They were looking for specifics. What we needed to do was look at what side effects people (like yourself) came after which shots. “<br /><br />I promise you… no one is earnest looking for this. We report vaccine injury and we are dismissed and mocked. If it is adult, they are told they are faking an injury. I am sure you believe this… but it is just a lie. We are very sensitive to this because our docs treat us like crap for reporting. Mine, whom I went to church with, yelled at me and hung up the phone on me.<br /><br />“When you examine the stories of vaccines followed by autism there is no consistent pattern. In time many of the AoA people have even changed their stories to fit their most recent theory.<br /><br />If you are going to charge that, you have to prove that accusation. It is slander until you do. There absolutely IS a consistant pattern. Neurologically typical child, vaccinated, immune and neuro crash over the next days and weeks, never goes back to normal, starts doing strange things, autism diagnosis. Exams show GI problems, autoimmunity, metal tx, chronic viral infections, and on and on. It is the same story tens of thousands of times over. If you don’t believe us, then frankly … I don’t care. We have our own docs now who do and who treat our kids and our kids get better. <br /><br />“Because each vaccine is composed of different ingredients there would be a specific exposure followed by specific symptoms or disease. Your child's symptoms were noticed after the DTaP, Polio, HIB, Pnumo and Hep B. J.B. Handley's son developed his after a flu shot. Some claim it was the DTaP and HIB combination. Many claim it was the MMR. Jenny originally said her son declined over months but others say days or hours. Can you understand that for there to be a cause and effect you would need to see a pattern somewhere?”<br /><br />And you don’t see that children are being given a variety of immune stimulants and neurotoxins, then suffer neurological decline? That is the pattern dude! And we do have subsets of patterns. Kids with the full dose Hg schedule in the 1990s are the severe-nonverbal ones with seizures. My son and Jenny’s born during the HG transition, are higher functioning and easier to recover, but still have speech problems. Kids born after 2003 usually have great verbal skills. MMR regression kids seem to have more hypotonia. My son who never got MMR is very coordinated for a kid with autism. For the kids coming up now… there are not as many and they are milder cases. <br /><br />There are none so blind that will not see.<br /><br />contGinger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-54586884655356137292011-02-13T16:04:10.952-05:002011-02-13T16:04:10.952-05:00...
Last year they shut down the autism program ......<br /><br /><br />Last year they shut down the autism program at my son’s elementary school. They said it was not justified any more. When Chandler came in to Kindergarden, he was one of 11 kids. This year they only had 1 little girl with special needs.<br /><br />“but subsequent research again found no association between dose of mercury and autism”.<br /><br />Dude… this is just laughable. Here are around 45 studies that support an association between vaccines and autism, most of them implicate mercury.<br /><br />http://adventuresinautism.blogspot.com/2007/06/no-evidence-of-any-link.html<br /><br />But the thing that is really egregious about this claim is that the basic study, the straight forward dose-response research design that Verstraeten began 12 years ago, has not and cannot be produced to show that increasing Hg does not increase autism. What gets published is so twisted and backward that no one buys them. Why do you? None of the studies actually even answer the question being asked. They are a joke to us. If you want to understand why, then actually sit down with us and we can point out to you why they are not convincing to us. You know… real scientific debate. The kind that skeptics are expressly forbidden to do by secret law or whatever. <br /><br />“Then the theories shifted again”.<br /><br />I see you have been reading Paul Offit’s talking points.<br /><br />First off… no they haven’t. We still think that MMR causes vaccine encephalopathy, which is just another name for autism, if only because HHS believes that MMR causes vaccine encephalopathy/autism. We still think mercury is a causal factor. We also think that aluminum, adjuvants and several other mechanisms are in play. Because all of these things assault the immune and central nervous systems, and whatever the hell “autism” is, is a result of broken immune and CNS! We also think that pesticides, environmental mercury, maternal use of Rx drugs and other things are causing the same phenomena. Sustained attack on the body by toxins causes immune response, causes brain inflammation causes brain damage causes behavioral changes.<br /><br />“First they thought it was Pal Mal brand cigarettes that caused lung cancer, then they thought it was Lucky Strike, now they have shifted to Malboro! These people are just desperate and looking for someone to blame for this clearly genetic lung cancer”.<br /><br />“As you state in your comments they did not continue checking every vaccine combination.”<br /><br />Right. If each vaccine contains enough immune stimulating adjuvant to create a sufficient immune reaction to go on a search and destroy mission for the introduced antigen in a child with typically functioning immune, detox and metabolic energy processes, then what will giving a child with already impaired immune, detox or mitochondrial functioning FIVE adjuvant containing vaccines at once do to them? WE HAVE NO IDEA! We are not even screening kids to look for mito problems, when HHS freely admits that when these kids are vaccinated they are subject to neurological injury, seizures and death!<br /><br />You want to give my neurologicall impaired, autoimmune, mito biomarked child how many immune stimulants at once? With out any safety research. Pardon my French.. but screw you. I will take my chance with measles and Pertussis.<br /><br />And that is only ONE of the hundreds of questions that there are no answers to.<br /><br />contGinger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-6589669167708231142011-02-13T16:03:38.933-05:002011-02-13T16:03:38.933-05:00..
“13 years ago the theory was put forward tha.....<br /><br /><br /><br />“13 years ago the theory was put forward that MMR caused autism.”<br /><br />68 years ago the theory was put forth that smallpox vaccine caused autism. Parents have been suing vaccine makers for autism claims since at least the 1970’s. Those cases were folded into the VICP in 1986. I heard in my undergrad psych program at George Mason University that vaccines might cause autism in 1989. But Andrew Wakefield gets credit for it in 1998? Why? Because he was the first one to hold a press conference?<br /><br />Can you see that you are being fed some very convenient facts with serious omissions?<br /><br />“Research was done looking for a link between the two, but many epidemiological studies from around the world did not find any link.” <br /><br />Do you understand that we hotly debate those studies? That we have accused some of those conducting the studies with fraud?<br /><br />“Much of the focus then shifted to mercury.”<br /><br />…Because our federal govt announced that children were getting up to 125x the EPA limit for Hg for their weight. So the vaccine injury/autism community became hopeful that the decades of vaccine regressions were the fault of ONE component of the vaccine, which made complete biological sense as mercury is a neurotoxin, and that the autism problem could be completely solved by removing that ONE component. <br /><br />“That led to the removal from all routine vaccines for children under 3”<br /><br />No it didn’t. Manufacture of lower dose mercury and mercury free vaccines began in 2001, but no recall was issued so those full dose mercury vaccines stayed on the shelves. We were checking docs offices and were finding full dose Hg vaccines on the shelves with expiration dates as late as 2007. This would mean that if thimerosal was implicated in autism, autism rates would have shot up from 88-91 when the schedule increased and when Heb B was admnisted at birth, would have been high through the 1990s until the announcement was made in 1999, and would have steadily dropped since then as those vaccine cycled out of the market and parents began to vaccinate more cautiously. Which means we would see autism rate by birth cohort charts that look like this:<br /><br />http://www.thoughtfulhouse.org/tech-labs/disabilities/rates.php?s=IA&d=A<br /><br />Which is exactly what we do see. <br /><br />contGinger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-45018078998336773012011-02-13T14:52:45.176-05:002011-02-13T14:52:45.176-05:00...
4. Temporal association? I feel like this i......<br /><br /><br />4. Temporal association? I feel like this is a joke. I have friends who have run into emergency rooms with seizing children in their arms, hours after a vaccine and say, “he had his vaccines this morning and they are giving him seizures!” and it is never recorded, the staff will not acknowledge the parents ever said it, and when parents press it, docs will say, “vaccines can’t do that” regardless of the fact that the VICP says they can do it and pays people when it happens. Then the child never “comes back” and is eventually diagnosed with “autism”. One such family are our friends, Harry and Gina Tembenis. Harry is on the board of the National Autism Association. Their son Elias – vaccinated, seized, regressed into autism, died from his seizures years later, and last DEC VICP ruled the death a direct cause of the DTaP vaccine. Are you gonna tell me Elias’s autism had nothing to do with the DTaP? Even though DTaP encephalopathy lists the symptoms of autism? How dumb do you think parents are? Or are you just not looking at this stuff?<br /><br />Temporal association is happening dozens of times a day. It is almost never recorded. I entered my son’s own vaccine reactions into VAERS five years after they took place. Our ped blew two serious reactions off. <br /><br />5. Dose response. Just checking your understanding of the theory here. It is that there is a subset of the population (like the mito kids that Julie Gerberding admitted could regress into autism via vaccination) that will “respond” to lower “doses” than the rest of us in the general population. Just as not all people who smoke get lung cancer, not all who are vaccinated will react, and not all who eat peanuts will go into shock. The FIRST dose response research done on mercury found that the kids with the higest mercury from vaccines had a 600% increase in autism. They spent four years trying to unfind those findings. They couldn’t. So they bastardized the study and called it something it wasn’t, and published it. Then had to quietly admit to congress that it was “useless” in determining whether or not thimerosal can cause or contribute to autism. http://adventuresinautism.blogspot.com/2005/08/heres-why-disdain.html<br /> http://adventuresinautism.blogspot.com/2008/06/julie-gerberding-tells-congress-that.html<br /><br />cont...Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-87538464351064293502011-02-13T14:52:24.861-05:002011-02-13T14:52:24.861-05:00...

I recommend you read Austin Bradford Hill's classic essay on thinking about causal evidence (see http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/hill). <br />He was one of the people that helped the world see that smoking led to cancer. In looking for a cause and effect relationship you should start by looking at the strength of the association between the exposure and the condition you think is being caused. Then examine the consistency of the observed association. Specificity of the association, the third characteristic which invariably we must consider. The fourth characteristic is the temporal relationship of the association – which is the cart and which is the horse? This is a question which might be particularly relevant with diseases of slow development. Fifthly, if the association is one which can reveal a biological gradient, or dose-response curve, then we should look most carefully for such evidence. It will be helpful if the causation we suspect is biologically plausible. But this is a feature I am convinced we cannot demand. “<br /><br />I read this and all I can think is… ‘does this guy realize that he is making our case for us?’<br /><br />1. Strength of association? Yes. (Exposure to carcinogenic smoke in the lungs causes cancer in the lungs, first in vulnerable subsets.) Exposure to immune stimulants causes autoimmunity and brain inflammation, first in vulnerable subsets. Exposure to neurotoxins causes neurological damage, first in vulnerable subsets. Exposure to live viruses causes viral infections, first in vulnerable subsets.<br /><br />2. Consistency of association? Yes. Seventy years of recorded observation beginning with the firs paper written on what would become “autism” by Leo Kanner himself, when he recorded that one of the first cases was a smallpox vaccine regression.<br /><br />3. Specificity of the association? See number 1. CDC tells us that mercury causes GI problems. Our kids have horrible GI problems and test positive for mercury toxicity. Read a vaccine package insert and the HHS vaccine injury table… see that vaccines cause autoimmunity and neurological disease. Our kids have autoimmunity and neurological disease. Can vaccines cause brain swelling? See vaccine encephalopathy on HHS VICP table… Yes they can. Symptoms of vaccine encephalopathy? Loss of eye contact (autism), not responding to anything but loud shouts (autism), doesn’t seem to recognize family members (autism), frequently associated with seizures (autism). Live virus vaccines cause viral infections (read the package inserts and the VICP table), our kids have chronic viral infections with vaccine strain viruses… I could go on for days… does any of this seem specific enough?<br /><br /><br />cont...Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-34607614050052727052011-02-13T14:23:19.334-05:002011-02-13T14:23:19.334-05:00Evvy,
Now to address your comments:
“So... You ...Evvy,<br /><br /><br />Now to address your comments:<br /><br />“So... You are correct that not every combination of vaccines has been exhaustively researched”.<br /><br />Yes I am.<br /><br />But you are far too generous in your characterization that “not every combination of vaccines has been exhaustively researched”. The combination of shots given to two month old per CDC schedule has never been researched at all. Neither has 6 months of 6 months or 12 months or ANY combination which the CDC schedule directs pediatricians to administer. NONE.<br /><br />Actually… I was not completely honest about the lack of research into my son’s case. There is one study that applies to him. Mostly.<br /><br />It is this one that shows that boys given the thimerosal containing Hep B series begging the month after birth have a 3x higher chance of developing autism. (Chandler’s first dose at 3 weeks, which he reacted badly to, three months of fevers and “colic” –we now know colic is a GI problem that is treated with probiotics- and constipation that lasted two years until after we put him on the GFCF died following his neurological regression, was a Hg containing vaccine. The second two doses were not according to the lot numbers I looked up).<br /><br />Hepatitis B Vaccination of Male Neonates and Autism<br /><br />Annals of Epidemiology , Vol. 19, No. 9 ABSTRACTS (ACE), September 2009: 651-680, <br />p. 659 <br /><br />CM Gallagher, MS Goodman, Graduate Program in Public <br />Health, Stony Brook University Medical Center, Stony Brook, NY <br /><br />PURPOSE: Universal newborn immunization with hepatitis B vaccine was recommended in 1991; however, safety findings are mixed. The Vaccine Safety Datalink Workgroup reported no association between hepatitis B vaccination at birth and febrile episodes or neurological adverse events. Other studies found positive associations between <br />hepatitis B vaccination and ear infection, pharyngitis, and chronic arthritis; as well as receipt of early intervention/special education services (EIS); in probability samples of U.S. children. Children with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) comprise a growing caseload for EIS. We evaluated the association between hepatitis B vaccination of male neonates and parental report of ASD. <br /><br />METHODS: This cross-sectional study used U.S. probability samples obtained from National Health Interview Survey 1997-2002 datasets. Logistic regression modeling was used to estimate the effect of neonatal hepatitis B vaccination on ASD risk amongboys age 3-17 years with shot records, adjusted for race, maternal education, and two-parent household. <br /><br />RESULTS:Boyswho received the hepatitis B vaccine during the first month of life had 2.94 greater odds for ASD (nZ31 of 7,486; OR Z 2.94; p Z 0.03; 95% CI Z 1.10, 7.90) <br />compared to later- or unvaccinated boys.Non-Hispanicwhite boys were 61%less likely to haveASD(ORZ0.39; pZ0.04; 95% CIZ0.16, 0.94) relative to non-white boys. <br /><br />CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that U.S. male neonates vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine had a 3-fold greater risk of ASD; risk was greatest for non-white boys.<br /><br />cont...Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-56057481160133121562011-02-13T14:09:02.561-05:002011-02-13T14:09:02.561-05:00THAT statement would have said to me,... "ok....THAT statement would have said to me,... "ok... earnest guy who is not in denial about lack of evidence in vaccine safety... this is a guy I can deal with".<br /><br />But you didn't, you BLEW OFF MY CONCERNS. You said, "However, you are stating an overly simplified view of what research is needed."<br /><br />FAIL!<br /><br />The research that I believe is needed to sell me a vaccine IS the research that is needed to sell me a vaccine! You, the salesman, actually presume to tell me, the customer, that I am an idiot and I don't know how to ask the basic questions on how to keep my son safe! (Only a bit more insulting to me and I have an MS in Clinicial Counseling from Johns Hopkins, so you can assume I know at least the very basics about scientific inquiry and passed a few stats classes.)<br /><br />Do you not see that? <br />THEN you launch into an argument that tells me, a woman who has been reading and writing about autism/vaccine injury pretty much every day for six years, that you have not done your reading and don't know the basics of OUR problems with the program. You have bought into the strawman arguments sold by Novella and Orac (with all their vaccine industry ties and $$).<br /><br />You tell me back the story of MY COMMUNITY, tell it wrong, and expect me to be convinced by it? All I can liken it to is you taking a train from the Hamptons to Harlem, and walking up to a group of unemployed guys on the corner and proceeding to tell them about how blacks have an equal shot in this country and they don't know anything about black history in America. Launching into this kind diatribe to them at BEST will get run off their corner. But you are so arrogant (sorry to be harsh) that you actually think you can come to our neighborhood and tell us our life and our history... and the research that we pour through to help us figure out what happened to our kids and to try to heal them? <br /><br />Again... I know this is harsh, and I don't want to be hurtful, but I feel I need to be frank... can you see how that just makes you look like an ass? <br /><br />Can you understand why you are loosing this war? You have lost the debate and you don't even know it.<br /><br />Paul Offit's book lives between 2,000 and 5,000 on Amazon and never broke 1,000 (and I have been checking). And Offit was on the Colbert Report! Mnookins book is doing the same, even though it has been hyped on Salon and has gotten main stream press everywhere. <br /><br />Our book, Vaccine Epidemic, shot to 117 its second day out and has been living around 200-300 since then, and on day three, went into is second printing. With NO mainstream press at all.<br /><br />You might want to tell yourself it is because "contraversy sells" and no one wants to read that everything is fine, but you have to stop kidding yourself. It is because you are on the wrong side of history, no one wants to read the industry line, and because on its face, you arguement does not holdup with people who don't have to believe it to prevent from being kicked out of the 'science club'.<br /><br />So I am begging you... take a month and stop listening to the skeptic echo chamber, start reading our blogs... just for a month. Read Vaccine Epidemic, start with Chapter 18, my chapter, really find out what our ACTUAL arguments and questions are, then go back to skeptic town and see if they can address the real questions, not the straw men they are making.<br /><br />Do you want to get to the bottom of this, or do you want do stay with science club?Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-74678465533011179592011-02-13T14:08:45.396-05:002011-02-13T14:08:45.396-05:00Evvy,
Sorry for forgetting about this thread... ...Evvy,<br /><br />Sorry for forgetting about this thread... been launching a new book, (Vaccine Epidemic, get your copy in book stores today, already in its second printing!)<br /><br />I want to answer you in two parts... because you seemed to have missed the point that I have been trying to drive home, but that no one in your community seems to be getting. (I will address your other points a bit later).<br /><br />I am answering you this way because I really want you to understand where you and people like you are going wrong. I get the sense you are listening... and I really hope you are. So please read this reply carefully and with some self-reflection, as it is earnestly meant to be a teaching moment for you and not written out of anger on my part. Please, please pay attention to this.<br /><br />Your last comment is WHY you are loosing the vaccine wars... I am offering you an analysis... I hope you will consider it carefully as it is yet another microcausm example of what happens over and over and over and over.<br /><br />The initial post I wrote more than a year ago made the point to your community that the burden of proof was on YOU to sell US on your products and point of view. Rather than doing that, you community has not only insulted us, you ACTIVELY prevent us from healing our sick children.<br /><br />Those I was writing to, in the hopes they would understand where they were going wrong, didn't get it. <br /><br />This blog piece is to reinforce that point. And to explain that attacking us does not and will not work, because you are not solving the actual problem. That you have not met your burden of proof that your products and point of view are good for the customer. That you have actually LOST the debate, and don't know it because you are not listening. That going into your ivory tower, locking us outside and performing yet another symposium entitled, "We Are Smart, Jenny McCarthy is Stupid and Andy Wakefield Eats Babies for Breakfast" only serves to reinforce the WRONG ideas you are circulating in your cloistered group AND you fail to note that we are out here, with access to the rest of the world, taking your arguments apart at kitchen tables, in coffee shops and over back fences accross the world. I am trying to point out that attacking your customer base... parents like me making vaccine decisions... will only loose you the war FASTER.<br /><br />And AGAIN... I made the point to you, Evvy, that YOU the 'scientist' has to sell me the 'just a mom' on the idea that the vaccine program is safe, and does not cause autism.<br /><br />So I presented you with the questions I need answered before I can be convince of that... research on specific vaccines my son received, after which he regressed into "autism".<br /><br />Your response was this: "So... You are correct that not every combination of vaccines has been exhaustively researched".<br /><br />Ok... you made an admission that more should have been done. Great. That is the right start. The next sentence should have been, "You are right, we don't really have evidence to make the blanket statement that 'vaccines don't cause autism', and we need to get that answered properly so that parents can vaccinate their kids with confidence." <br /><br />cont...Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-55307688415041801612011-01-28T20:01:58.219-05:002011-01-28T20:01:58.219-05:00I have really enjoyed this intelligent and civil d...I have really enjoyed this intelligent and civil discussion between Ginger and Evvy. My son was a perfectly normal infant until six months of age, mid-Oct 2002. I just watched his baby videos for the first time, which confirmed memory. <br /><br />He had been sick, so sick that oral antibiotics weren't working so he was adminstered two antibiotics shots a couple days apart. Within a few days of that he was given a prevnar and a Dpt. Within a week of all this happening he began to change. I wouldn't say he was suddenly autistic because that is not quite how it happened. It was more like he began cutting in and out-he would be the same social, attached baby he'd always been and then suddenly it would be as if someone had hit a light switch and he'd go into his own world....he'd go back and forth like that all day. Over time he spent more and more time in his own world. When I described this to my son's neuro years later he said, "that sounds like infant petite mal seizures." (My son has full brain multi-focals) I don't want to blame the vaccines, I truly don't as I am a meningitis survivor and a strong believer I'm the need for a vaccine program. Yet, I cannot rule vaccine injury out either because of timing and the fact that the Dpt insert says it can trigger seizures. I wonder though if the vaccine wasn't the problem but being sick + powerful antibiotics + vaccine may have been a tipping point. I don't speak out on the subject because I'm not entirely sure I understand what happened. I will say that I wish peds would quit vaccinating kids when they are sick. I also think the regressive form of autism may actually be petite mal seizures that get missed by doctors. My son went from high functioning autism at age 3 to severe and in a diaper at 7. The ped kept dismissing the regressions as "just the autism". It wasn't until a behavior therapist told me she'd seen another kid like this and it ended up being seizures that we figured it out.Autism Mom Risinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233102657448877126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-55765320929220342462011-01-28T00:22:42.075-05:002011-01-28T00:22:42.075-05:00Thank you.

I had a nice discussion ...Ginger - LOVE your post. I had a nice discussion with our ped about vaccinations several months ago and what I thought he could do with them - other than put them in my kids. I also emailed him the 25 measly pages of research I've gathered on my own, but never heard back.<br /><br />Even taking a vaccine/autism link out of the equation, how can I trust an industry that lies, cheats, and steals all in the name of having my kids' health at heart? The impropriety at the FDA, USDA, WHO, NIH, and Big Pharma is astonishing, and yet NO ONE talks about it. <br /><br />So glad to be off the hamster wheel. 20 years from now, when "science the moving target" says, "Oops, we made some mistakes back there," my kids will thank me for being a bit of a nut about it all now. :-)<br /><br />God bless you!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042776121562792057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-75587708650863013982011-01-27T22:34:06.891-05:002011-01-27T22:34:06.891-05:00So... You are correct that not every combination o...So... You are correct that not every combination of vaccines has been exhaustively researched. However, you are stating an overly simplified view of what research is needed. I recommend you read Austin Bradford Hill's classic essay on thinking about causal evidence (see http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/hill). <br />He was one of the people that helped the world see that smoking led to cancer. In looking for a cause and effect relationship you should start by looking at the strength of the association between the exposure and the condition you think is being caused. Then examine the consistency of the observed association. Specificity of the association, the third characteristic which invariably we must consider. The fourth characteristic is the temporal relationship of the association – which is the cart and which is the horse? This is a question which might be particularly relevant with diseases of slow development. Fifthly, if the association is one which can reveal a biological gradient, or dose-response curve, then we should look most carefully for such evidence. It will be helpful if the causation we suspect is biologically plausible. But this is a feature I am convinced we cannot demand. <br /> <br />If you really want to learn more you can read this article and then follow up with more recent takes on the subject.<br /><br />13 years ago the theory was put forward that MMR caused autism. Research was done looking for a link between the two, but many epidemiological studies from around the world did not find any link. Much of the focus then shifted to mercury. That led to the removal from all routine vaccines for children under 3, but subsequent research again found no association between dose of mercury and autism. Then the theories shifted again. As you state in your comments they did not continue checking every vaccine combination. However, I would argue that much of the research was focused on the wrong question. They were looking for specifics. What we needed to do was look at what side effects people (like yourself) came after which shots. When you examine the stories of vaccines followed by autism there is no consistent pattern. In time many of the AoA people have even changed their stories to fit their most recent theory. Because each vaccine is composed of different ingredients there would be a specific exposure followed by specific symptoms or disease. Your child's symptoms were noticed after the DTaP, Polio, HIB, Pnumo and Hep B. J.B. Handley's son developed his after a flu shot. Some claim it was the DTaP and HIB combination. Many claim it was the MMR. Jenny originally said her son declined over months but others say days or hours. Can you understand that for there to be a cause and effect you would need to see a pattern somewhere? <br /><br />The other problem I have is that many of the stories from parents who believe the vaccines caused their children's autism are not substantiated by the doctors who have seen and treated them. Having given thousands of vaccines, and treated many children with autism, I (nor any doctor I have ever met) has seen a temporal correlation that would make causality likely. Of course that does not mean that sometimes one thing follows another, but if it is just as likely to come before or after the exposure then it isn't the cause.<br /><br />I am sorry this is so long winded but I want you to realize that those of us in medicine who treat these children are listening. We just can't find what you say you see, no matter how hard we look.Evvy Densehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13831376247033512371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-36130205052317729632011-01-27T01:04:19.876-05:002011-01-27T01:04:19.876-05:00Ev,

Science is about testing theories. One study making a claim is only useful for directing future studies. It must be reproducible.<br />I know that you and your friends at AoA are 100% sincere in your desire to help children. However, you have been blinded by you passion and see conspiracies anywhere people don't think like you. To me that is religion, not science.<br />The saddest part for me is looking at the decade we have spent so much time and money looking for a link between vaccines and autism instead of using those resources to find the real cause. It is the autistic children who are suffering as a result of your zealous pursuit of the vaccine monster and your inability to actually learn from the science that has been done to answer your questions.Evvy Densehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13831376247033512371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-15275499166426336372011-01-26T20:37:17.483-05:002011-01-26T20:37:17.483-05:00Dr. Gorski,

I would say that this movement and mindset that you are somehow winning is a little misplaced if we were going to compare books. (Which was obviously a focus for you since you mentioned their amazon rank.)<br /><br />Not to mention that the statistic of 92% still vaccinating their children is proof that you aren't "winning" anything. The public clearly still very much believes in vaccines, 92% isn't failing by any standard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
