I could not imagine the road that this simple step would take me down.</p><p>To say that this blog has been an amazing, life changing experience, is a poor descriptor of its power in my life for the last 17 years. It shaped me as much as I shaped it. But it is time for a new chapter in life.<br /></p><p>Chandler is now a young man, and I have long since stopped sharing much about his health and developmental journey, as it is no longer appropriate to share his private life beyond a certain point. </p><p>"Autism" is a word we rarely use anymore, as the meaning has been blurred and stretched by social engineering and the normalization of disability, to be synonymous with "quirky." Or whatever description the user wants in the moment. It is further made meaningless as we have learned that what we were using it to describe (back when we defined it by DSM criteria) was not a stand alone disability/disorder/syndrome, but a behavioral outcome of several different physiological profiles/diseases/injuries/syndromes. <br /><br />"Autism's" most common physical symptoms is brain inflammation. And there are several things that cause brain inflammation.</p><p>"Autism," in my humble opinion, should have been abandoned long ago as a stand alone diagnosis, just as "Fever" has been. It is an outcome of medical conditions that deserve treatment. Those with the diagnosis deserve the offer of medical investigation and treatment. But the medical world does not want to do that. Because the primary cause of the metabolic syndromes that result in "autism," is western medicine. Why would they want to know that they are the primary cause of "autism?" </p><p>It is human nature to deny our wrongs, hide from our sin, work selfishly in our own interests, and this is the state that our medical industry lives in. There is no sign of regret or repentance in their escalating destruction of the health of Americans, much less child health. <br /><br />So the sad truth is that in the 17 years I have been writing this blog, "autism" treatment has barely advanced in the pediatricians office. Healing only begins when families leave mainstream medicine and partner with dissidents doctors. <br /><br />I cannot express enough gratitude to all the dissident healers that we have been blessed by in our journey. To live in a space where we are allowed to think, speak the truth, and act according to reason and conscience is an increasing rarity in the 21st century. I am so happy to be a part of such a community.<br /></p><p>The bottom line is this. Autism is caused by hubris. It is healed with humility and love. Thank you for being a part of a community that leans toward humility and love as we work to serve our beloved children.</p><p>It is time for me to move to a new chapter. To focus not just on medicine and politics, but the human condition that has our world locked into a sick system, and the loving God that has given us a path out of the sickness. </p><p>Thank you for walking with me down the autism road.<br /><br />You can find me at <a href=" https://gingertaylor.substack.com" target="_blank">Ginger Taylor on Substack</a>.<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgyachRlQomSJsJ65UvZGqfg4BRrBlrTncjfNnjeyI2MSbjvcASebZQW3vznhtTGK3HJP9bYIiPQ6JkQGbrbaEUuLmqD7IFkFPZw_wdqf5xJsO7BR_ylDqTd2CoYkvQ3bGJ-gvZ5b9xl6IUd6Ss5XGpiwpfFtxDRJI2ii_dWSoFoIKhWTi5fA=s5581" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3721" data-original-width="5581" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgyachRlQomSJsJ65UvZGqfg4BRrBlrTncjfNnjeyI2MSbjvcASebZQW3vznhtTGK3HJP9bYIiPQ6JkQGbrbaEUuLmqD7IFkFPZw_wdqf5xJsO7BR_ylDqTd2CoYkvQ3bGJ-gvZ5b9xl6IUd6Ss5XGpiwpfFtxDRJI2ii_dWSoFoIKhWTi5fA=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></div><br />Ginger Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-28091310883151930032021-05-06T10:32:00.004-04:002021-05-06T10:39:33.256-04:00Maine Will Throw Thousands of Children Out of School While Refusing to Speak To Their Families<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia4ZLJfCvMbG1wtXmAx6Ax-WQJwNkyvH_IstBc_CNxwFKFGV8pslGSHe1uamTzANckhsp9gPzJ-U1SvOYRzM8gUQA3g6yfPRRW24cvx2FSolwsoNZ2i0-92nSdGTSnf60dJw1J/s1024/mills-flu-shot-cropped-1024x584.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="584" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia4ZLJfCvMbG1wtXmAx6Ax-WQJwNkyvH_IstBc_CNxwFKFGV8pslGSHe1uamTzANckhsp9gPzJ-U1SvOYRzM8gUQA3g6yfPRRW24cvx2FSolwsoNZ2i0-92nSdGTSnf60dJw1J/s320/mills-flu-shot-cropped-1024x584.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-size: small;">With one election in 2018, Maine went from one of the least corrupt legislatures in America, to one of the most. Janet Mills and her army of obedient dems have ended the tradition of bipartisanship and open discussion in Maine. Her first order of business was to remove ALL non-medical exemptions in Maine. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Maine is now entertaining four bills to mitigate or reverse the removal of non-medical exemptions in Maine.

since I began requesting a meeting with the Maine DHHS on behalf of
more than a thousand vaccine hesitant and vaccine injured families,
to discuss their safety concerns and unmet medical needs. The issues
which are at the heart of vaccine hesitancy. Kenneth Albert, then
director of the Maine CDC in 2015, patently refused the meeting,
stating that we were not a priority. <br /><br />Five months later, Mr.
Albert held a public meeting at Maine Law to discuss our families and
what to do about the vaccine hesitant, without an attempt to involve
the population at the heart of the discussion. During the event,
Albert smeared parents with vaccine injured children and their
concerns as "anti-vaccine," and advocated for barring their
children from an education. Then, in an exchange with a pediatrician
who expressed discomfort with the pressure being put on him and his
colleagues to disallow families to make their own medical choices,
Albert praised using "the stick" on doctors so that they
would pressure vaccine hesitant families at doctors appointments,
joking, "That's one way to get 'um."<br /><br />Isn't the first
rule of public health that you must engage the target population of
any given program? How exactly does the State of Maine defend
removing the rights of children to attend school, while stonewalling
those families for six years years?</span></span></span></span></p>

<span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><span>In 2015 I authored the
Maine Consumer Protection Act, a bill to create a program and process
Maine for vaccinating families who experience adverse events. The
bill would have ensured training for health care providers which
would include mechanisms for prompt diagnosis and treatment, and
greater understanding of the federal programs in place to address
adverse events. The the proposed plan should be considered standard
practice for a liability free medical product considered "Unavoidably
Unsafe" by the CDC, which is administered within 24 hours of
birth as routine care. </span></span>

from vaccine makers in 1986, it became clear that almost no one in

<span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><span>Jeffrey Austin,

opposing the bill that would require the health care providers to

inserts wrote, “People don’t receive vaccines like they do other
prescriptions… not sure there is a package here.” <br /><br />Not
even the head of the Maine Chapter of the American Academy of
Pediatrics, Dr. Janice Pelletier, knew the name of the VICP or its
function, testifying that, “The Federal Vaccine Injury Program
provides appropriate venue for reporting and tracking vaccine related
side effects.” <br /><br />Instead, Dr. Pelletier was describing the
Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), an early warning
system to alert CDC if there are multiple problems with specific
vaccines or batches of vaccines, but neither investigates cases nor
offers any support to her vaccine injured patients.<br /><br />And
neither Dr. Belisle of Maine Quality Counts nor Shawn Box, Former
Asst. Dir Maine Immunization Program knew the difference between the
VICP and VAERS, both writing in their identical testimony (one
cutting and pasting from the other,) “Many of the components of
this bill are redundant to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting
System and Efforts already performed by the Maine Immunization
Program in collaboration with providers and physicians state wide.”
The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System was not mentioned in the

<span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><span>Why doesn't Maine have
an education plan for physicians to know how to recognize, diagnose
and treat vaccine adverse reactions, especially since the Maine
Immunization Program has made the stupefying goal of 100% vaccine
uptake for school entry? (Assuring that those who are at risk for
vaccine adverse reactions, will have them.)<br /><br />For a family to
get compensation for a vaccine injury through the VICP, they have to
have a doctor to diagnose it, and testify on behalf of the patient in
the VICP. If we don't have any physicians in Maine who know the VICP
exists, then how can they know what vaccine adverse reactions are
outlined by the US Department of Health and Human Services, and
support families?<br /><br />The questions that parents have are myriad,
and Maine DHHS seems to have no intention of answering them, which
simply adds to the questions asked... like why should any parent in
Maine want to participate in the vaccine program when it abandons
those who may be injured by their program, and ignore those who see
vaccine risks being ignored?<br /><br />I submitted pages of questions to
not only the Maine Immunization Program, but the Maine Medical
Association, MaineHealth and the Maine Chapter of the American
Academy of Pediatrics. None have answered the questions. But I am
reasonably certain all of them will be showing up to again to
advocate that out children be denied the right to an education.<br /><br />In
the last 11 years I have watched, parent after parent testify to
legislative committees in Augusta that their physicians did not
believe them when they reported vaccine adverse reactions, would not
take their reports seriously, and would not medically investigate
their children's adverse events. To my knowledge not one legislator
has ever contacted one of those families directly to try to assist
them in accessing proper assessment, diagnosis, medical treatment, or
compensation from the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.</span></span></p>

since the pharmaceutical industry began its assault on Mainer's

Mainers suffering due to vaccine injury, or even answer their
questions, much less implement basic reforms like educating
physicians on federal vaccine injury guidelines and programs. In
fact rather than addressing the injustice and inequity that vaccine
injury families face, Maine has opted to simply force them back into
the program that harmed them in the first place, and then abandoned
them to struggle alone, or to suffer the penalty of exclusion from
the basic rights of Mainers to fully participate in society."</span></span></p>

<br /><br />ICAN deserves high praise for accomplishing the feat, the
latest in a line of ongoing court victories. Their dogged legal team
is led by Aaron Siri, the man who managed to get Dr. Stanley Plotkin,
considered by the medical establishment to be the greatest living
vaccinologist to admit that there is no research on the Pertussis
vaccine and autism. Nor on any vaccine that is not the MMR. <br /><br />This
is of importance to me as my son regressed into autism after
Pertussis, Hep B, and five other vaccines, none of which contained
mercury, and he never received the MMR. So all the research that it
thrown at me to prove to me that my son does not have vaccine induced
autism, doesn't even apply to his case. Because there is no
vaccine-autism research outside of MMR and Thimerosal that exists,
other than the Hep B studies that find massive links, and health
authorities don't like to talk about those.<br /><br />ICAN's three year,
Herculean accomplishment was met with joy, by the vaccine injury
community, but also a bit of confusion. “But the page still says,
"there is no link between vaccines and autism?” Thus I
thought it was important to put their win into historical context. </span></span>

questioned as a cause of autism dates back to the 1990s. In 1995, a
group of British researchers published a cohort study in the Lancet
showing that individuals who had been vaccinated with the
measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) were more likely to have bowel
disease than individuals who had not received MMR. One of these
researchers was gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield, MD, who went on
to further study a possible link between the vaccine and bowel
disease by speculating that persistent infection with vaccine virus
caused disruption of the intestinal tissue that in turn led to bowel
disease and neuropsychiatric disease (specifically, autism).” </span></span>

Child in 1943, Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins University included the
first report of vaccine induced autistic regression. In Kanner's case
series describing the first 11 children documented to have the
disorder, case number 3, “Richard M.” is reported by his mother
to have begun his developmental regression following a smallpox
vaccination. From the paper:</span></span></p>
<blockquote>“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Case 3.
Richard M. was referred to the Johns Hopkins Hospital on February 5,
1941, at 3 years, 3 months of age, with the complaint of deafness
because he did not talk and did not respond to questions.” </span></span>

<blockquote>“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Following
smallpox vaccination at 12 months, he had an attack of diarrhea and
fever, from which he recovered in somewhat less than a week.”</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote>“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">In
September, 1940, the mother, in commenting on Richard's failure to
talk, remarked in her notes: I can't be sure just when he stopped the
imitation of words sounds. It seems that he has gone backward
mentally gradually for the last two years.”</span></span></blockquote>
<p><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />The time line of
Richard M, according to the paper, is thus:</span></span></p>

<p><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">This inquiry, to my
knowledge, resulted in the first position statement by US health
authorities on vaccine-autism causation. They published:</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.49in;">“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Evidence
from Studies in Humans</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.49in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The
committee identified no case reports or other studies of autism
following pertussis immunization. The sources examined include the
CDC's MSAEFI system, which received no reports of autism (ICD 9 code
299.0) occurring within 28 days of DPT immunization from 1978 to
1990, a period in which approximately 80.1 million doses of DPT
vaccine were administered through public mechanisms in the United
States (J. Mullen, Centers for Disease Control, personal
communication, 1990). The lack of reports of cases within 28 days of
DPT immunization is not surprising, however, given that a diagnosis
of autism is difficult, if not impossible, before age 3 years.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.49in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Summary</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.49in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">No
data were identified that address the question of a relation between
vaccination with DPT or its pertussis component and autism. There are
no experimental data bearing on a possible biologic mechanism.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.49in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Conclusion</b></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.49in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>There
is no evidence to indicate a causal relation between DPT vaccine or
the pertussis component of DPT vaccine and autism.”</b></span></span></p>
<p><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Of course they would
not have any reports of Pertussis vaccine induced autistic
regression, because the CDC's MSAEFI system, as they noted, only
followed children for 28 days, and no child is diagnosed with autism
within 28 days of onset. It is unheard of for a child to to even get
an evaluation scheduled, must less completed in 28 days. So the
system would not pick up any cases of vaccine induced autism.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">This began the age of
government obfuscation in vaccine-autism causation. The NIH funded
project reported “no evidence” before they began any earnest
search for evidence.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><b>1998 –
Clinton Administration</b></span></span></p>
<p><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Andrew Wakefield,
according to the current false narrative and revisionist history
pushed by health authorities, mainstream medicine, and their media
partners, magically erases a half century of history and discovers
the vaccine-autism causation theory for the first time.<br /><br />Wakefield
simply did what Kanner did in 1943. Took patient histories, and
including parental reports in a paper.<br /><br />A great irony of course
in the excoriation of Wakefield for the is that he and his colleagues
never made the claim that vaccines were associated with Autism
Spectrum Disorders in the 1998 retracted paper, reporting that, “We
did not prove an association between measles, mumps, and rubella
vaccine and the syndrome described. Virological studies are underway
that may help to resolve this issue.”<br /><br />The greatest irony is
that in his case series describing his observation of bowel disease
in children with ASD, is that gut dysbiosis and inflammation are the
two chief physical commodities in autism according to the medical
establishment.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Andrew Wakefield was
right.<br /><br /><br /><b>1999</b></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The
1990s saw a dramatic rise in autism, from a rare disorder with only
11 cases diagnosed in the US in 1943, to occurring between 1 and 3
per 10,000 in the 70s and 80s, to approximately 1 in 250 cases by the
end of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. In the UK the focus was on the
MMR vaccine and potential causation. In the US the prime suspect was
mercury exposure. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The
the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the United States Public
Health Service (USPHS) issued a <a href="https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/104/3/568">joint
statement</a> through the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) on mercury and vaccines. They stated that in the U.S. vaccine
program at the time, “some children could be exposed to a
cumulative level of mercury over the first six months of life that
exceeds one of the federal guidelines.”</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The
<a>truth
was</a> that the amount of mercury in the childhood vaccination
schedule grossly exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) maximum daily adult exposure for methylmercury, the form of
mercury most closely related to thimerosal for which the government
had established a guideline. The EPA sets the daily limit at 0.1
micrograms per kilogram of weight. Based on that guideline, a baby
weighing approximately five kilograms (eleven pounds) at two months
of age should not receive more than 0.5 micrograms of mercury on the
day of a doctor’s visit. At the time the AAP and USPHS joint
statement was issued, infants at their two-month visit routinely
received 62.5 micrograms of THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA 207
mercury, or 125 times the EPA’s limit. Studies have suggested that,
for thimerosal (ethylmercury), “the accepted reference dose should
be lowered to between 0.025 and 0.06 micrograms per kilogram per
day,” meaning that the exposure at the two-month visit could be as
high as 500—rather than 125—times the safe level.3 </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">In
November 2002, Dr. Neal Halsey, director at the Institute for Vaccine
Safety at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told the
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/10/magazine/10AUTISM.html?ei=1&en=99d1b535fa33bba3&ex=1037894857&pagewanted=print&position=top.">New

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">My
first reaction was simply disbelief . . . if the labels had had the
mercury content in micrograms, this would have been uncovered years
ago. But the fact is, no one did the calculation. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">At
the time, USPHS claimed in their joint statement that, </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>there
[are] no data or evidence of any harm caused by the level of exposure
that some children may have encountered in following the existing
immunization schedule.”</b></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">However,
the government made this safety claim before it had begun to look for
evidence of harm. In November 1999, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) initiated a study to evaluate whether children
receiving the highest amounts of thimerosal had suffered any ill
effects. Thomas Verstraeten, the study’s lead epidemiologist , did
not begin the study until four months after the government’s “no
evidence of harm” claim. The CDC did not publish the results until
<a href="https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/112/5/1039.short">2003</a>.
The first phase of the Verstraeten study found an association between
higher doses of thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders. In the
second phase of his study, Verstraeten described his findings as
“<a href="http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/reprint/113/4/932.pdf">neutral</a>.”
Verstraeten was an employee of vaccine maker <a href="https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/113/4/932">GlaxoSmithKline</a>
by the time his study was finally published.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">HHS
further asserted in July 1999: </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Given
that the risks of not vaccinating children far outweigh the unknown
and much smaller risk, if any, of exposure to thimerosal-containing
vaccines over the first six months of life, clinicians and parents
are encouraged to immunize all infants even if the choice of
individual vaccine products is limited for any reason.”</b></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">With
this single statement, the government took the position that the risk
posed to children from exposure to thimerosal was both “unknown”
and a “smaller risk” than exposure to childhood diseases. This
suggested that public health officials could perform a risk-benefit
analysis with no risk information for half of the equation. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">HHS
further asserted:</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>[i]nfants
and children who have received thimerosal-containing vaccines do not
need to be tested for mercury exposure.”</b></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">On
what basis could HHS make this statement? It had not done (and still
has not done) the underlying research to show that these children
were not at risk and should not be screened for mercury toxicity.
Without hard evidence, the government nonetheless seemed eager to
reassure parents that “no evidence of harm” meant “no
harm”—even as it failed to look for evidence. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The
mainstream media did not investigate HHS’s claims or
recommendations, nor did it investigate those of vaccine safety
advocates. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">None
of the problems with the joint statement, the investigation, or the
CDC’s handling of the thimerosal question came to light until 2005,
when investigative journalist and author David Kirby released the
book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Evidence-Harm-Vaccines-Epidemic-Controversy/dp/0312326459/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&hvadid=77996659190686&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=evidence+of+harm&qid=1611529897&sr=8-1&tag=mh0b-20">Evidence

questionable behavior and judgments of the CDC and HHS.11 Likely
sensing the potential for public outrage, the CDC quickly took action
and posted a notice on its website explaining that it would review
the book and respond. By the end of 2005, however, the CDC had taken
the notice down without responding. To this day, no US government
agency has offered any response to the book.</span></span></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Vaccine
Injury Compensation Program has a table of known vaccine-induced
injuries for which the government offers compensation. Created in
1991, the table has since listed “encephalopathy” as an outcome
for the combination MMR (or any of the various individual measles,
mumps, or rubella vaccines) and for the DTaP (or any
pertussis-containing vaccines). The symptoms of this encephalopathy
(a medical term meaning brain disorder, brain damage, or a change in
brain functioning) in a child who is eighteen months or older include
a “significantly decreased level of consciousness” which HRSA
describes as follows: </span></span>
</p>
<b><br /></b></div><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">(1) Decreased
or absent response to environment (responds, if at all, only to loud
voice or painful stimuli); </span></span>
<br />
<br /><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">(2)
Decreased or absent eye contact (does not fix gaze upon family
members or other individuals); or </span></span><br /><br /><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">(3) Inconsistent or absent
responses to external stimuli (does not recognize familiar people or
things).16</span></span></b><br /></div><div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Many
parents have reported these symptoms in their previously typically
functioning children after neurological regression following measles,
mumps, rubella (MMR) and pertussis-containing (DPT or DTaP) vaccines.
These parents, however, reported that those symptoms were not used to
diagnose their children with a vaccine-induced encephalopathy but
rather to diagnose them with autism. In addition, one of the signs of
encephalopathy is seizure activity. Estimates suggest that
one-quarter to one-third of those with an autism diagnosis also
suffer from seizures.17 </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Were
“vaccine-induced encephalopathy” and “autism” merely the same
phenomenon, described from the vantage point of two different
disciplines, medicine and mental health? Were many cases of autism
merely misdiagnosed vaccine-induced encephalopathy, due to the lack
of physician training regarding the recognition of vaccine injury?
These questions never surfaced when the media ran stories regarding
parental concerns about vaccine-induced autism—that is, until 2008,
when the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) became national
news. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">In
early 2008, Jon and Terry Poling announced to the press that HHS had
conceded their daughter’s case of vaccine-induced autism.
Ten-year-old Hannah Poling had regressed into autism after receiving
nine vaccines in five shots during one office visit. The Polings
argued that their daughter had a preexisting, asymptomatic, and
undiagnosed mitochondrial dysfunction and sustained a neurological
regression into autism from receiving vaccines at eighteen months of
age. Jon Poling is a well respected neurologist who was at Johns
Hopkins at the time, and his wife Terry is a registered nurse and an
attorney. The Polings’ medical testing following their daughter’s
regression was so thorough and their case so strong that HRSA
conceded the case and elected to pay compensation without a hearing
before the VICP. The government acknowledged, albeit in very evasive
language, that vaccines were the culprit that led to Hannah Poling’s
autism. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">While
the media had yet to rigorously scrutinize the vaccine-autism story,
national and local consumer-safety and autism-awareness groups were
organizing to share information and advocate for change. When CNN
broadcast the Polings’ press conference live, the event poured
gasoline on the already fiery vaccine safety debate. Federal public
health officials were forced to comment on how vaccines cannot cause
autism, even though they seemed to have done just that in little
Hannah Poling. The government’s position on the Polings’ case and
on vaccine induced autism were completely at odds with one another,
and the government’s clumsy and conflicting answers raised even
more questions about vaccine safety: </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">• <span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Did
vaccines cause Hannah’s autism? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">• <span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Is
mitochondrial dysfunction rare? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">• <span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Did
the government deliberately mislead the public about Hannah’s
injury? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">• <span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Did
the media pursue this news story appropriately? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Our
government would not say that Hannah had autism, which she indeed
does have.18 The concession document19 said that Hannah has <b>“a
regressive encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum
disorder.”</b>20 By definition, a person diagnosed with a disorder
will have features of that disorder. Government attorneys had full
access to Hannah Poling’s extensive medical files, which disclose
that she has DSM-diagnosed, full-syndrome autism. Yet, they referred
to her neurological disorder using terms that sounded ambiguous, as
if she has something like autism, but not autism. Hannah’s parents
repeatedly clarified to the media that their daughter has
full-syndrome autism. A scientific journal article21 further
confirmed her diagnosis. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Where
was the mainstream media? It failed in two respects. First, it
continued to repeat the government’s euphemistic words,
“autism-like symptoms,” thereby attempting to dodge the burning
question—is the dramatic increase in the number of childhood
vaccines causing the dramatic increase in autism incidence? Second,
the media gave extensive airtime to vaccine-program defenders who
seemed to turn the case on its head, blaming the victim for her own
injury. In a twist of logic, they inferred that it wasn’t really
the vaccines’ fault that Hannah was permanently injured; on the
contrary, Hannah was merely a poor receptacle for lifesaving
vaccines. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">An
article in the New Scientist declared, “Significantly, the
government’s decision says nothing about whether vaccines cause
autism. Instead, government lawyers concluded only that vaccines
aggravated a preexisting cellular disorder in the child, causing
brain damage that included features of autism.”22 This vague
government pronouncement prompted the tongue-in-cheek response from a
commenter, “Do cigarettes only aggravate preexisting genetic
factors, causing lung damage including features of cancer?”23 </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">In
late 2010, reporter Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News summed up HHS’s
position, “In acknowledging Hannah’s injuries, the government
said vaccines aggravated an unknown mitochondrial disorder Hannah had
which didn’t ‘cause’ her autism, but ‘resulted’ in it.”24
</span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">A
few days after the announcement, CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding
appeared on CNN with Dr. Sanjay Gupta to explain the government’s
position on the Poling case and vaccine-autism causation. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Gupta
began the interview by noting that a child with regressive autism had
been compensated and that the government had conceded that vaccines
had caused her “autism-like symptoms.” He zeroed in on a key
question. Gupta asked whether Hannah had “autism” or “autism-like
symptoms.” </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Gerberding
never answered. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">She
instead claimed that she had not read the Poling case file. Gupta
failed to challenge this extraordinary and implausible statement.
Gerberding was at the helm of the government agency responsible for
the U.S. vaccine program and reported directly to Congress. A
government agency conceded that vaccines caused Hannah Poling’s
autism-like symptoms and Gerberding had not read her case file before
appearing on national television? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">In
another extraordinary statement, Gerberding proceeded to explain a
way in which vaccines can cause autism: </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>My
understanding is that the child has what we think is a rare
mitochondrial disorder and when children have this disease, anything
that stresses them creates a situation where their cells just can’t
make enough energy to keep their brains functioning normally. Now we
all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids, so if
the child is immunized, got a fever or other complications from the
vaccine then, if you are predisposed with a mitochondrial disorder,
it can certainly set off some damage, some of the symptoms can be
symptoms that have characteristics of autism.”24 </b></span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Gerberding
had just said that vaccines can cause autism in children with
mitochondrial disorders.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Gupta
passed right by this statement as well. Seeming not to have heard
her, he instead asked, “As it stands, are we ready to say that
vaccines do not cause autism?” Off the hook of the vaccine-autism
causation question, Gerberding quickly responded, </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>What
we can say absolutely, for sure, is that we don’t really understand
the causes of autism. We’ve got a long way to go before we get to
the bottom of this, but there have been at least 15 very good
scientific studies, and the Institute of Medicine which has searched
this out and they have concluded that there really is no association
between vaccines and autism.”25</b> </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Dr.
Julie Gerberding, director of the CDC, had just explained an
association between vaccines and autism on national news. She then
said there is no association between vaccines and autism. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Two
weeks earlier, the CDC had held a conference call with concerned
physicians and insurance companies to discuss the Poling case.26
During the call, experts presented information that Hannah’s
preexisting mitochondrial dysfunction may not be so rare. An
unpublished study of thirty children with regressive autism revealed
that they all shared Hannah’s same biomarkers.27 On the call, it
was estimated that up to one in fifty children, or two percent of the
general population, may have a genetic mutation that places them at
risk for mitochondrial dysfunction.28 This information had been in
the press for three days when Gerberding gave the CNN interview and
made the claim that Hannah’s condition was “rare,” but Gupta
didn’t challenge her claim. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">In
The Washington Post, Gerberding offered additional, unsubstantiated
words of reassurance to a concerned public: </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>While
we recognize, and have recognized, mitochondrial disorders are
associated with . . . autism-like syndrome, there is nothing about
this situation that should be generalized to the risks of vaccines
for normal children.29”</b> </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Gerberding
failed to explain the seemingly simple phrase “normal children.”
Hannah seemed “normal” before her shots, as did tens of thousands
of children who regressed into autism after their shots. In fact,
Hannah was above average socially and so highly verbal that, at the
age of sixteen months, she had been chosen to be a “typical peer”
to model appropriate social skills to developmentally disabled
children in an early intervention program. Millions of concerned
parents wonder about vaccine safety and which of their “normal”
children might be at risk of developing autism after vaccination. How
could they know? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Gerberding’s
Washington Post statement raised several troubling questions: </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">• <span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">By
definition, regressive autism means that the children were, by all
appearances, neurologically “normal” before their diagnosis. In
the absence of criteria to identify susceptibility, aren’t all
children “normal” before they regress into autism after
vaccination? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">• <span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">How
many other children with regressive autism following vaccination have
asymptomatic, undiagnosed mitochondrial dysfunction like Hannah
Poling? Was Hannah diagnosed only because her father is a
neurologist? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;">• <span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">In
the Hannah Poling scenario, a seemingly healthy child suffered a
vaccine regression that gave her autism. Autism affects one percent
of all U.S. children. Why aren’t we screening children before
vaccination to make sure they are not susceptible, just like Hannah
was? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Dr.
Anne Schuchat, the assistant surgeon general and director of the
National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC
at the time, answered the last question in an interview in The
Atlanta Journal Constitution: </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Some
have suggested that infants and children be screened for
mitochondrial disorders before getting recommended vaccinations.
Unfortunately, mitochondrial diseases are very difficult to diagnose
and it is usually not possible to identify children with such
disorders until there are signs of developmental decline. A
definitive diagnosis often requires multiple blood tests and may also
require a muscle or brain biopsy (removal of a portion for testing,
usually under anesthesia). Therefore, providing routine screening
tests on children who have no symptoms would bring other medical
risks and raise many ethical questions.30 </b></span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Schuchat
failed to mention that a simple blood test to screen for “soft
biomarkers” of mitochondrial dysfunction is available and
reasonably predictive.31 She further failed to mention the medical
risks and ethical questions raised by blindly vaccinating nearly all
children when we know that some will have mitochondrial dysfunction
that puts them at risk for neurological injury. <br /></span></span><br />

following year, Gerberding resigned from the CDC and joined Merck &
Co., Inc., the pharmaceutical giant, as head of its vaccine division.
Merck manufactures several childhood vaccines including the MMR.
Notably, the MMR is the vaccine HRSA has admitted causes an
encephalopathy that progresses into autism, and was among the
vaccines that resulted in Hannah Poling’s regression into autism.
While the autism advocacy community vigorously discussed and debated
the Poling concession, Gerberding’s public statements on vaccine
encephalopathy and autism, and her new employment, mainstream media
once again remained mute. </span></span>

statement: </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The
government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to
compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was
actually caused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which
children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease.
Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an
array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Some
children who have been compensated for vaccine injuries may have
shown signs of autism before the decision to compensate, or may
ultimately end up with autism or autistic symptoms, but we do not
track cases on this basis. </span></span>

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Bowman
asserts that vaccines don’t cause autism, but that they do cause
brain damage that can result in autism. However, HRSA doesn’t track
that. Kirby and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., published this email, but the
mainstream media again failed to report it to the public. </span></span>

science . While some studies do not find evidence of an association
between vaccines, heavy metal components such as thimerosal, and
autism, many do. The peer-reviewed meta-analysis released by <a href="https://vaccinesafetycommission.org/pdfs/29-2010-Acta-Neuro-DeSoto.pdf">DeSoto

March 2010, while discussing the H1N1 flu, Readers Digest asked HHS
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, “What can be done about public
mistrust of vaccines?” Sebelius replied, </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">There
are groups out there that insist that vaccines are responsible for a
variety of problems despite all scientific evidence to the contrary.
We have reached out to media outlets to try to get them to not give
the views of these people equal weight in their reporting to what
science has shown and continues to show about the safety of
vaccines.”44 </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Neither
the Obama Administration nor Readers Digest clarified this remarkable
disclosure, thus it remains unclear which press outlets HHS
contacted, what HHS asked the press not to report, or who complied

<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Now that ICAN had
gathered the proof in the form of evidence and admissions it needed to
hold the CDC’s feet to the fire, on June 19, 2019, ICAN demanded that
the CDC produce copies of the studies it relies upon to claim that all
the vaccines given during the first six months of</span></span></p>

demanded that the CDC produce studies to support that the

<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">ICAN, of course, already
had the CDC’s admissions on these points from its prior FOIA request in
November 2017, the HHS letter exchange, and the CDC’s internal
emails. The CDC had nowhere to hide and no way to dissemble. As expected,
it responded to ICAN’s request with the same list of studies involving
MMR or thimerosal. Not a single study supported that DTaP,
HepB, Hib, PCV13, and IPV do not cause autism.</span></span></p>

<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The suit focused on the
CDC’s claim that “Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism” on the basis that the CDC
had not specifically listed the precise studies that it asserts
support that claim. This lawsuit also quoted from the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFTsd042M3o">deposition
of Dr. Stanley Plotkin</a>, the godfather of vaccinology, who
admitted under oath that he was “okay with telling the parent that
DTaP/Tdap does not cause autism even though the science isn’t there yet to
support that claim.”</span></span></p>

a stipulation</a> that entered as an order of the court on March 2,

<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Incredibly, the one study
relating to DTaP on the CDC’s list was a recent review by the
<a>Institute
of Medicine</a> (IOM), paid for by the CDC, which conducted a
comprehensive review looking specifically for studies relating to
whether DTaP does or does not cause autism. The IOM concluded that
*it could not identify a single study to support that DTaP does not cause
autism*. Instead, the only relevant study the IOM could identify
found an association between DTaP and autism.</span></span></p>

<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in; margin-top: 0.01in;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">In other words, the only
study the CDC listed that actually looked at any of the vaccines
given to babies during the first six months of life concluded that
there are no studies to support that DTaP does not cause autism. Yet,
the CDC chose that study as one of the few that supports its claim
that “Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism”!</span></span></p>

<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">This reality is truly
incredible because, when it comes to autism, vaccines are the one
suspected culprit that the CDC claims to have exhaustively
investigated but, yet, the CDC could not provide a single study to
support its conclusion that the vaccines given during the first six
months of life do not cause autism.</span></span></p>

<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in; margin-top: 0.01in;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The CDC regularly
complains that those raising concerns about vaccine safety are
unscientific and misinformed. It is therefore truly stunning that
when we asked the CDC for studies to support its claim that “Vaccines
Do Not Cause Autism,” the March 2, 2020 stipulation and order made
it abundantly clear that it was the CDC’s own claim that “Vaccines
Do Not Cause Autism” that was unscientific.</span></span></p>

<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">And now for the coup de
grâce. ICAN’s demands at the end of 2019 and over which it took
the CDC to court in early 2020 were for the studies he CDC “relied
upon” to claim that Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism. ICAN now had a
court ordered stipulation that specifically listed the twenty studies
the CDC “relied upon” to support this claim– none of which
supported that the vaccines given during the first six months of life
do not cause autism.</span></span></p>

<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">To assure that the CDC
understood ICAN was never, ever, ever, letting this issue go, on
March 6, 2020 (days after concluding the federal lawsuit) ICAN
submitted the following FOIA demand to the CDC: “All studies
supporting the claim that DTaP does not cause autism” and days
later requested “Studies created or retained by CDC to support the
claim that DTaP does not cause autism.” The difference between this
and ICAN’s prior requests
is subtle but powerful. Instead of asking for the studies the CDC
“relied upon” to support that DTaP does not cause autism (as it
did previously), ICAN was now seeking the studies that in fact
support that DTaP does not cause autism.</span></span></p>

request, the CDC could not list its MMR or thimerosal studies – its
hands were tied. It understood there was nowhere left to hide its
unsupported claim that “Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism.” And it
knew that ICAN would again take it to court, and this time the
outcome could be even harsher.</span></span></p>

<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in; margin-top: 0.01in;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The CDC’s website does
continue to claim that “Vaccine ingredients do not cause autism”
and so ICAN’s fight continues! Our next step will be to force the
CDC to admit whether or not they are also making this claim for
aluminum adjuvants used in vaccines. And if so, to produce the
studies to support this claim. (See ICAN’s <a href="https://www.icandecide.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ICAN-AluminumAdjuvant-Autism-2.pdf">white
paper on aluminum adjuvants and autism here</a>.)</span></span></p>

<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.49in; margin-top: 0.01in;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Of course, whether one or
more ingredients, like water used in vaccines, does not cause autism
is not really the issue. The question is whether the vaccine, the
product itself as formulated, causes autism. And we now know that the
CDC finally understands that it can no longer claim that “Vaccines
Do Not Cause Autism.”</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />This
is the greatest defeat that <b>The Hungry Lie</b> has suffered yet,
and the global community owes ICAN a debt of gratitude for their work
greater than they will ever receive.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Remaining
on the CDC's web site are other numerous false claims, that are yet
to be addressed. The next one that must go is the lie that, “</span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">There
is no link between vaccines and autism.”</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">This is
not just untrue merely at this point in time, or a any time in the
21<sup>st</sup> century, it has never been true.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The
scientific record linking vaccine and autism began with the
scientific record on autism itself, and extends through a growing
body of research today. It began when Kanner took notes interviewing
Richard M's mother, and she reported his vaccine reaction and
subsequent regression into the disorder that would come to be called
“Autism” by Kanner when he published the first paper on the
disorder.<br /><br />Vaccine induced autism was reported before the word
“autism” even existed.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">In
2007 I grew tired of hearing that “there is no link between
vaccines and autism,” and began keeping a list of research that
linked vaccines and autism online. The list has now grown to more
than 150 papers supporting the link, and is unfortunately woefully
behind, as the project has no funding, and little time has been
devoted it to it's development. Kanners report of Richard M's
post-vaccine regression in 1943 is the last study on the list.</span></span></p>

research has found that vaccines and their ingredients can cause the
underlying medical conditions that committed physicians and
researchers are commonly finding in children who have been given an
autism diagnosis. These conditions include gastrointestinal damage,
immune system impairment, chronic infections, mitochondrial

activation, interleukin-6 secretion dysregulation, brain
inflammation, damage to the blood–brain barrier, seizures, synaptic

list, in whole or in part, has been called to the attention to
countless numbers of state and federal health officials, but to my
knowledge, no agency has ever undertaken a review of the research, in
whole or in part, and applied the research to the assertion that
“there is no link between vaccines and autism.” This despite the
fact that the first paper on the list was conducted by CDC itself,
run by the head of the CDC's Vaccine Safety Branch, Frank DeStefano,
and found a 600% increase in autism in children who received the
highest levels of mercury in their vaccines.</span></span></p>

I have never fully understood how stupid and absurd the vaccine industry's arguments defending the current vaccine program actually were until Brett Wilcox put them all together on one page. I can't believe how badly this country is being scammed. It is not just horrifically criminal that they are getting away with this, it is monumentally embarrassing that anyone in the US believes them. What suckers we have been.<br />

I’ve been studying vaccines for a few years now. During that time several pro-vaxxers have done their best to convince me of the error of my ways. Many grow frustrated with me and inform me that I’m simple minded and stupid. It’s true that I wasn’t the quickest kid in the class. It’s taken me a long time to grasp what they’re saying, but I think I’ve finally got it. If you’re a pro-vaxxer, please let me know if I accurately represented your position.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your patience!<br />

<br />
Pro Vax Manifesto<br />
<br />
* All disease is bad.<br />
* All vaccines are good.<br />
* The science is settled, all vaccines work.<br />
* All vaccines are equally effective.<br />
* All vaccines are equally safe.<br />
<br />
* Vaccines are tested for safety more than any other pharmaceutical product.<br />
* Vaccine safety studies are long term studies, meaning they last for more than four days.<br />
* Experimental vaccines intended for babies are first tested on babies.<br />
* Experimental vaccines that will eventually be given to unhealthy children are first tested on unhealthy children.<br />
* Vaccine safety studies always include inert placebos.<br />
* The entire vaccine schedule has been studied for safety.<br />
<br />
* The theory and the practice of vaccination are identical.<br />
* Vaccine Information Sheets contain the same information as Vaccine Package Inserts.<br />
* Vaccination equals immunization, yet the public should still fear and ostracize the unvaccinated.<br />
* Vaccines work, but only if everyone else is vaccinated because, of course, my medicine makes your medicine more effective.<br />
* Everyone should be forced to vaccinate to protect the vaccinated from getting the diseases for which they were vaccinated.<br />
<br />
* Vaccines have never caused ADHD, tics, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, learning disabilities, cancer, diabetes, eczema, paralysis, autism, or any other injury.<br />
* It’s just a coincidence when babies get sick, diseased, regress, or die following vaccination.<br />
* Vaccination is the leading cause of coincidences.<br />
<br />
* There is nothing in vaccines that could hurt a baby or anyone else. That’s why vaccine manufacturers and doctors can’t be sued for vaccine injury or death.<br />
* If vaccines injure a baby, it’s the baby’s fault for having bad genes. Vaccines just identify the defect.<br />
* Vaccines are composed of neurotoxins, human fetal DNA, animal tissue, adjuvants, allergens, antigens, and contaminants. Buildings are evacuated and hazmat teams are called when the contents of a vaccine spill on the floor. That’s why the same ingredients are safe when repeatedly injected into pregnant women, infants, toddlers, teens, the aged, and virtually everyone in between.<br />
* The toxic ingredients in vaccines make sick people healthy and healthy people healthier.<br />
<br />
* Injecting toxins is no different than ingesting toxins.<br />
* Because one vaccine is safe, two, four, eight vaccines etc. are equally safe.<br />
* Vaccines are better than vitamins, the more you get, the healthier you are.<br />
* Studies show that vaccine injuries and deaths increase as the number of vaccines increase. That’s why babies can safely receive thousands of vaccines at once.<br />
<br />
* High-pitched screams, fevers, lethargy, being zoned out, sleeping for days, diarrhea, and seizures are normal vaccine reactions.<br />
* Normal reactions are not vaccine injury.<br />
<br />
* The US vaccine schedule is the only schedule in the world.<br />
* There are no alternative schedules.<br />
* Alternative schedules are untested and dangerous.<br />
<br />
* Until recently, 100% of people failed to notice behaviors and traits associated with autism that have always existed in 2% of the population. Some of these behaviors and traits include head banging, spinning, hand flapping, poop smearing, delayed speech, speech regression, inability to speak, speaking in an abnormal tone of voice, repeating words and phrases over and over again, yelling, crying, or laughing for no apparent reason, obsessive attachment to unusual objects, gastrointestinal problems, explosive diarrhea, extreme sensitivity to light, sound and touch, indifference to temperature or pain, difficulty understanding other people’s feelings, reactions, or facial expressions, resistance to being touched, failure to bond or emotionally connect with parents, siblings, and others, wandering, and lack of fear of water sometimes resulting in drowning.<br />
* Autism is normal.<br />
* Autism is a gift.<br />
* Autism should be celebrated.<br />
* Parents who don’t celebrate their kids’ autism are selfish crybabies.<br />
* Autism is an evolutionary response to the computer age.<br />
* No vaccine has ever caused autism.<br />
* Only one now debunked paper written solely by one now disgraced doctor has ever linked vaccines to autism.<br />
* That man is a fraud and he’s personally responsible for killing millions of babies just like Hitler.<br />
<br />
* Media outlets can be trusted because they always report the truth about vaccines.<br />
* Media outlets are not influenced by corporate sponsors or government censorship.<br />
* Media should shame and mock parents of vaccine-injured children, especially the moms.<br />
* Media should libel and misquote doctors and scientists who address vaccine safety issues.<br />
* Media should not give fair and equal airtime to parents of vaccine-injured children.<br />
* Media sponsored hate speech is bad … unless it’s targeting parents of vaccine-injured children.<br />
* Media should slam movies such as Vaxxed without ever watching them.<br />
<br />
* The pharmaceutical industry does not influence medical school curriculum.<br />
* Doctors are taught everything there is to know about vaccination:<br />
<br />
1. disease is bad<br />
2. vaccines are good<br />
3. the vaccine schedule<br />
4. vaccine administration and<br />
5. strategies to coerce vaccine hesitant parents and others to vaccinate.<br />
* Listen to your doctor … unless your doctor warns you about the dangers of vaccination.<br />
* The ethical principle of informed consent which was established after World War II to prevent further medical experimentation on uninformed and unwilling subjects does not apply to vaccination.<br />
* When doctors coerce and threaten parents to vaccinate their kids, they are not violating medical ethics.<br />
* Medical providers should chart adverse events from medications, but they should deny vaccine-induced adverse events because vaccines are safe and effective.<br />
* Doctors who address vaccine safety concerns should lose their medical licenses.<br />
<br />
* The HPV vaccine has been proven to prevent cancer.<br />
* Teen aged girls who fake injury—including paralysis, full body tics, and debilitating pain resulting in being confined to their homes and beds—after getting the HPV vaccine should see a shrink for psychological problems.<br />
* Exposure to chickenpox and measles in childhood provides no health benefits later in life.<br />
* Getting chickenpox is very bad and very scary.<br />
* Getting measles is very, very bad and very, very scary because measles is one of the most lethal diseases on Earth and probably in the whole universe. That’s why parents used to take their kids to measles and chickenpox parties.<br />
<br />
* Vaccines don’t contain human fetal DNA.<br />
* Only two babies have been aborted for vaccine research.<br />
<br />
* Vaccines used to contain mercury, but that doesn’t matter because it was the good kind.<br />
* Vaccines don’t contain mercury anymore, but that doesn’t matter because it was the good kind.<br />
* Vaccines now banned in developed countries because they contained mercury are still being used in developing countries, but that doesn’t matter because it’s the good kind.<br />
* The amount of mercury in some “preservative- or thimerosal-free” vaccines exceeds the EPA safety limit and must be disposed of as hazardous waste. But that doesn’t matter, because it’s the good kind of hazardous waste.<br />
<br />
* Aluminum is a known neurotoxin and is proven to play a significant role in promoting neurological diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism. That’s why it’s safe to inject newborns with aluminum in excess of EPA safety limits.<br />
* Aluminum is essential for optimal brain functioning and development.<br />
<br />
* There is no valid reason for religious people to object to vaccination because God has no problem with injecting healthy babies time and time again with a variety of cell-killing and brain-damaging concoctions.<br />
<br />
* People get Hepatitis B from dirty needles and sexual activity. That’s why Hep B negative mothers should consent to have their 1 day old infants injected with the Hep B vaccine.<br />
<br />
* Pus from cowpox eradicated smallpox.<br />
* 10% of the Earth’s population received smallpox vaccines. That’s why nearly everyone needs to be vaccinated to eradicate a disease.<br />
* Not getting the chickenpox vaccine will kill millions of people from smallpox.<br />
* Not getting the measles vaccine will put millions of kids in iron lungs.<br />
* Environmental toxins and tonsillectomies had nothing to do with America’s polio epidemic and polio disease reclassification had nothing to do with reversing the epidemic.<br />
* The polio vaccine used in India is not causing paralysis in 30,000 children per year.<br />
<br />
* Sanitation, clean drinking water, and good food are responsible for the reduction of diseases for which there are currently no vaccines. However, once a vaccine is developed for any of those diseases, the previous statement will no longer be valid.<br />
<br />
* Immunocompromised people should not be vaccinated with live virus vaccines … unless they live in developing countries.<br />
* The oral polio vaccine should never be given to HIV positive people … unless they live in Africa.<br />
* Being sick is no reason not to get vaccinated.<br />
<br />
* It would be unethical to conduct a prospective vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study because withholding vaccines from children would kill them.<br />
* It would be impossible to conduct a retroprospective vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study because all the unvaxxed kids have already died from vaccine preventable diseases.<br />
<br />
* Vaccines have never been tested for safety with pregnant women and their fetuses. That’s why it’s safe to inject them in pregnant women.<br />
* Pregnant women should avoid alcohol, antibiotics, Thalidomide, and other pharmaceutical products, but should receive all vaccines offered them at any stage of their pregnancies.<br />
* Babies are born vaccine deficient.<br />
* Premature infants need the protection from vaccines even more than full term infants.<br />
* Even though the pertussis vaccine does not prevent the transmission of pertussis and is known to result in asymptomatic carriers of the disease, vaccinating family members is the best way to protect newborns from whooping cough.<br />
<br />
*Drug companies make drugs for profit, but they make vaccines out of the goodness of their hearts.<br />
* Anti-vaxxers enrich themselves writing and selling anti-vaccine propaganda.<br />
<br />
* The industry has never lied about vaccine safety, efficacy, or necessity.<br />
* The industry has never faked vaccine research.<br />
* The industry would never divide vaccine lots to spread out and hide vaccine injury and death.<br />
* The industry would never test vaccines on orphans, disabled people, or people of color.<br />
* Merck lied about Vioxx, but it would never lie about its vaccines.<br />
* Merck supervisors did not order its scientists to fake the efficacy of the mumps vaccine.<br />
<br />
* The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation didn’t get booted out of India for conducting cloaked vaccine trials on Indian girls resulting in thousands of injuries and hundreds of deaths.<br />
* The Gates Foundation isn’t preparing to vaccinate hundreds of thousands of African babies with an experimental malaria vaccine known to have negative efficacy, meaning that vaccinated babies get malaria at a higher rate than vaccine free babies.<br />
<br />
* The CDC’s primary interest is the health and safety of American children.<br />
* The CDC can be trusted to regulate vaccine safety issues because it owns over 50 vaccine patents and profits from vaccine sales.<br />
* CDC employees have no conflicts of interest.<br />
* When the CDC reports that the flu vaccine is 40% effective, that means that the vaccine prevents the flu in four out of ten people.<br />
* CDC employees have never consorted with industry or the medical establishment to hide the relationship between mercury-containing Thimerosal and autism.<br />
* CDC employees have never consorted with industry or the medical establishment to hide the relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism.<br />
* CDC employees have never trashed data linking the MMR vaccine to autism.<br />
* There is no CDC whistleblower.<br />
<br />
* There is no such thing as a Vaccine Court because there’s no such thing as vaccine injury.<br />
* The Vaccine Court has not paid out more than $3.5 billion for vaccine injury and death.<br />
<br />
* Congress is not influenced by donations from Big Pharma.<br />
* Congress has never ignored vaccine safety issues.<br />
* Congress has never been complicit in hiding vaccine safety issues from the public.<br />
<br />
* Scientific journals can be trusted.<br />
* The papers in scientific journals can be trusted.<br />
* The drug industry does not ghostwrite pro-vax papers for scientists to sign.<br />
* Scientists who address vaccine safety issues should be censured or fired.<br />
<br />
* The anti-vax movement is a recent phenomenon.<br />
* Anti-vaxxers get their information from a Playboy bunny.<br />
* Anti-vaxxers get their information from the Internet and everybody knows you can’t trust anything on the Internet, except for the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the pharmaceutical industry.<br />
* The AAP has no conflicts of interest with the pharmaceutical industry.<br />
<br />
* All unvaccinated people are dangerous vectors of disease.<br />
* All vaccinated kids with HIV, Hep B, chicken pox, measles, influenza, whooping cough, etc., should be allowed in school.<br />
* All children recently vaccinated with live virus vaccines should be allowed in school.<br />
* All unvaxxed kids are by definition sick and dangerous disease vectors.<br />
* All unvaxxed kids should be banned from school, because they’re especially dangerous on weekdays from 8 am to 3 pm.<br />
* All anti-vaxxers are anti-science.<br />
* All anti-vaxxers are baby killers.<br />
* All anti-vaxxers should lose custody of their children.<br />
* All anti-vaxxers should be quarantined, jailed, or hung.<br />
* When someone dies of a disease, unvaccinated people should be charged, tried, and convicted of murder.<br />
<br />
* Pro-vaxxers are logical, pro-science, and open-minded.<br />
* Pro-vaxxers tolerate differing points of view and are all around caring, compassionate people.<br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This morning I started thinking about the loss of even the discussion of “honor.” It seems to have been removed from the American lexicon. Being raised in the military, the ideal of being honorable was always there, and the specter of falling into dishonor was a looming presence.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I talk a great deal about repentance, that everyone is broken, everyone makes mistakes, everyone is self-interested and everyone does intentional wrong. But that God has called us all to repentance, as is described in Numbers 5:5-7:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel, When a man or woman commits any of the sins that people commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person realizes his guilt, he shall confess his sin that he has committed. And he shall make full restitution for his wrong, adding a fifth to it and giving it to him to whom he did the wrong.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The way we taught it to our boys from their early days, is that when we do wrong, and it is brought to our attention either by our on conscience, by someone who holds us accountable, or by someone we have wronged, we are to:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">1. Stop the wrong that we are doing.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">2. Admit to what we did wrong (to the person we wronged and to God – Confession)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">3. Clean up our mess, and make it a little bit better than it was before your breach.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This is the standard of behavior that we have set for our sons, and it has born great fruit in their lives. For all their flaws, low character is not one of them. Not even for Chandler with full syndrome “autism.” When they are confronted on any breach, they cop to it, apologize, and go back to fix it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Chandler so much so that when you give him the smallest correction his knee jerk reaction is yell, “Sorry!” like a started rabbit before he even is completely confronted. Then he will go back and process. You could accuse him of taking the Lindbergh baby and fifty percent chance he would yell, “Sorry!” having no idea what you are talking about. We are teaching him to not apologize before learning the substance of the complaint. It is a good problem to have with a son.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">But other than making them memorize Philippians 4:8 we have not really even used the phrase or concept of “honor” with our own boys. We have challenged them to become men of character, but have even failed to tell them that being “Men of Honor” is a thing. I began correcting that today.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">And it made me realize that while being a woman of honor has been instilled in me since birth (and my failures to do so at times can still be a source of great guilt for me despite the fact that I have repented before God and man, and been forgiven), I have allowed the word to fall out of my own vocabulary.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Outside of the military, I think that the discussion in the secular world of being a person of honor has all but vanished from the American conversation. Even in the internet age, where everything is discussed everywhere.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Some of us were never raised with any kind of call to honor.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">And when I think about those that we want and need most to be honorable, our leaders, it is work to find one that I could honestly describe as honorable.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Ron Paul. Hands down. No question. Ron Paul is an honorable man.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Jimmy Carter is the last president that I can call an honorable man. He was not a good president, but he was an honorable man.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Calvin Coolidge. Ike. Adams?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I love Jefferson, but he was not honorable.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">George Washington.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Point being, it is rare even in our presidents.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Today we prize winning, not honor. Money, not self-sacrifice. The spotlight, not humility.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We have not only been convinced that shame is wrong (I am a bad person), but that guilt is wrong (I have done a bad thing.) It is perfectly acceptable to believe that no matter how badly one behaves, that they are a “good person” and that they should never feel shame OR even guilt. To claim that any selfish, wrong or criminal thing that one has done is acceptable using any “greater good” excuse that one can conjure up in their mind.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We cultivate sociopathy.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Offit, Hotez, Pan... Dorit can greater good herself all the way to the legal justification of vaccination at gunpoint. They are not made to fell guilt for telling a lie, nor shame being inveterate liars, but instead they are held out by the medical field as its thinkers and teachers that others should look to for guidance. They should not be esteemed by anyone. But they are held out as those who should teach medical and legal ethics.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Modern American mainstream medicine does not honor the healers, it honors the liars. It honors the dishonorable.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Their entire medical conversation is bereft of even the concept of honor. Doctors are actively taught to behave dishonorably, and justify it by claiming a greater good.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” - Isaiah 5:20</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Let us never be like them. Let us prize honor, and work to reclaim it when it is lost in our lives.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Today I challenged my sons to always strive to be men of honor, I am challenging myself to ask myself more regularly if my actions are honorable, and I want to challenge us all in 2020 bring the concept of honor back into our lives, and become more honorable people.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Even when dealing with the dishonorable, and we have been subject to the crimes of the dishonorable in our community, their ongoing corruption that springs from having no conscience in medical and legal matters, for a very long time. They do what they want, and there is not anything that they cannot justify by simply deciding that, “it's for the greater good.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Greater good justifications are merely excuses to do things that are wrong, and they are incompatible with any standard of honor.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Even if we were not taught that honor was of value, we can change our standards and expectations of ourselves to become those of honor, and those of repentance when we fail to be honorable.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">So I challenge us all to consider our standards and see if they are ones that can be called honorable. To strive to be men and women of honor.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Even when it costs us.</span></span><br />

What do you call a woman who delivered a combined 77 doses of vaccine to her two sons? <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-anti-vaxxer-movement-is-getting-more-organized-and-powerful-than-ever-before" target="_blank">An "anti-vaxxer."</a>
<br />
What do you call a pediatrician who deliverers vaccines in his office every day? <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-09-02/bob-sears-controversial-views-on-vaccines-inspire-critics-and-fans" target="_blank">An "anti-vaxxer."</a><br />
<br />
What do you call the Princeton/Harvard educated <a href="https://healthchoice.org/leader/mark-blaxill/" target="_blank">father</a> of a disabled daughter who works to improve vaccine safety science and policy? <a href="https://www.bostonherald.com/2017/05/08/editorial-preying-on-parents-fear/" target="_blank">An "anti-vaxxer" who deserves to be hung</a>.<br />
<br />
I have written several vaccine safety reform bills, one of which that resulted in adding this page (<a href="https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/immunization/vaccine-safety.shtml">https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/immunization/vaccine-safety.shtml</a>) to the Maine.gov web site, to make sure that the state officially recognized and informed the public that the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Exists.<br />
<br />
So naturally by working to assure that the state, and its medical providers, know about federal vaccine safety and injury programs, I am opposed to vaccination in any and all forms, and should be tagged as an enemy of the people.<br />
<br />
Someone last year said on Twitter that the bigoted moniker, "anti-vaxxer" was akin to calling someone the "N" word. He was roundly attacked for the comparison, and with some good reason, as his idea was not yet thought through. He was not quite right, but he was in the ballpark. The hatred of anyone critical of any part of the vaccine program is not based on who they were at conception, as the "N" word is.<br />
<br />
The term "anti-vaxxer" is a bigoted epithet. Some bigoted smears are based on racism, hatred of someone for who they were born to be, and some are based on choices that people have made. The "anti-vaxxer" term falls into the latter category.<br />
<br />
There is a term that border patrol officers made up in the 1950s for those coming into the US illegally from Mexico, that described their appearance after swimming across the Rio Grande. I don't need to write it, we know what it is, and it is cruel and devaluing.<br />
<br />
There is a term that soldiers use when fighting in the middle east for those who choose to specific headwear. I don't need to write it, we know what it is, and it is cruel and devaluing.<br />
<br />
There are many terms that individuals use to describe those of other religions to extend cruelty to them, and to devalue them. Often to justify their wholesale murder and genocide. They are too myriad for me to write here. (And frankly I don't want to write any of these dark designations.)<br />
<br />
These are terms that serve the purpose of turning those they find undesirable into "other." To dehumanize them so that treating them poorly is made more palatable.<br />
<br />
To belittle them, to minimize them, to marginalize them, to tag them as "less than."<br />
<br />
And it is done every day in the press in the US to those who simply say, "I vaccinated my child and they had a reaction."<br />
<br />
Here is the current search for the use of the term in mainstream media headlines:<br />

It is used without compunction by most mainstream outlets, and the message is clear... those they are talking about are stupid enough to think that vaccines are akin to vampire bites, have no qualifications to speak on vaccines, are Nazis, and it is ok to harass them, remove their rights and eject them and their children from school, camp, college, the medical profession, religious observances and public gatherings.<br />
<br />
They are undesirables, they are dangerous, they are stupid, they are worthy of devaluation, they are undeserving of understanding, they are less than. It is OK to call for their public execution. They are worthy of brutalization. Don't be one of them or we will say the same of you.<br />
<br />
Do Newsweek, MSN or Vice us these kinds of terms when discussing South American immigration, or middle eastern enemies, or Jews, or Catholics, or Muslims or... anyone?<br />
<br />
Why in the age of "self-identification" is anyone in any press outlet able to do this to anyone?<br />
<br />
Even for those who are just picking up the term from other articles, it is lazy writing at best.<br />
<br />
Why in the WORLD do they get away with doing it to parents of vaccine injured children, or those whose children died at the hands of the liability-free vaccine program that they trusted?<br />
<br />
So next time you are reading an article on "anti-vaxxers" slide in one of those old, hateful appellations that would be anathema to anyone that cares about human beings and see how that sounds in your mind. Or when you are reading an article on immigration, pick a bigoted phrase to replace the words "migrant" that no actual bigot in polite society could get away with using any longer, and see how hard and ugly that sounds in your head.<br />
<br />
That is how hard the term "anti-vaxxer" sounds in my head when I read it as it is used on people like <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/scientist-stop-measles-texas/" target="_blank">Sheila Ealey</a> for showing the world her beautiful boy who crashed after his MMR and his struggles in his daily life.<br />
<br />
Why do some of us use that horrid, demeaning term? If that is your preferred term, that is certainly your choice, but it is not my choice to spend 15 years trying to make the vaccine program safer to be diminished as, "anti-vaxx."<br />

Well it turns out the FB attack on Christianity is real, as it has declared the foundational biblical doctrine of Original Sin is "hate speech."<br />
<br />
When <a href="https://pjmedia.com/faith/facebook-bans-st-augustine-quote-as-hate-speech/">PJ media</a> wrote that Facebook was blocking St. Augustine's discussion of the fallen nature of Man, which necessitated the self-sacrifice and resurrection of Christ for the spiritual salvation of humans, I didn't take it seriously. I thought that they had done something silly in just one case, but it turns out the bloggers in their jammies knew what they were talking about.<br />
<br />
Today, for posting the article and the quote, I have been blocked from posting on Facebook, or using messenger for 7 days.<br />
<br />
Let's review the 2k year old gospel of Jesus Christ.<br />
<br />
1. The nature of humans is fallen. All men have fallen short of the glory of God. There is no one who is good, no not one, but Christ Himself.<br />
<br />
2. God so loved us anyway, that he became flesh, walked among us as The Christ, lived a perfect life, and gave his life to substitute His undeserved death for our deserved deaths.<br />
<br />
3. When we accept His offer of loving grace, and confess our fallen nature, and turn from it to follow Christ, we are forgiven for our fallen nature, and our repentance of sin and good works are proof of our new life in Christ.<br />
<br />
Facebook has decided Step 1 of the Gospel is "Hate Speech." It has therefore invalidated the entire Gospel.<br />
<br />
No original sin, no sin nature, no need for forgiveness, no need for Christ's death or resurrection, no need for any kind of God.<br />
<br />
Jeremiah 17:9 is brutal in its clarity and description of the human heart:<br />
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"<br />
<br />
And all the way back in the book of Numbers 5:5-7, we were taught to repent of our sin:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel, ‘When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against the Lord, and that person is guilty, then he shall confess his sins which he has committed, and he shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it one-fifth of it, and give it to him whom he has wronged. "</blockquote>
This is the way we taught it to our children. Hey kids, when you do something wrong, either intentional wrong that you knew was wrong when you were doing it, or absent minded wrong that you realized was wrong after you did it, or wrong that someone has confronted you on that you know you are guilty of...<br />
<ol>
<li> Stop doing it.</li>
<li> Admit to what you did wrong.</li>
<li> Clean up your mess and leave it a little better than before you messed it up.</li>
</ol>
<br />
But all of that is predicated on, "WHEN you do something wrong..."<br />
<br />
Because ALL MORTALS DO WRONG THINGS.<br />
<br />
Search my comments over the years and you will find that I often say that there are two kinds of people in the world, Sinners and repentant sinners. Everyone is broken, and some of those broken people who do broken things try to clean up what they broke and not break things any more.<br />
<br />
But no one can completely, because people are broken, and will continue to break things.<br />
<br />
Augustine correctly observed:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Let us never assume that if we live good lives we will be without sin; our lives should be praised only when we continue to beg for pardon. But men are hopeless creatures, and the less they concentrate on their own sins, the more interested they become in the sins of others. They seek to criticize, not to correct. Unable to excuse themselves, they are ready to accuse others."</blockquote>
"But Ginger... I know you and you are a good person!"<br />
<br />
No. No I am not. I have met me. I know me way better than you know me. I am shocked at the terribleness that I have been capable of. But because I love God, live in gratitude for his grace, and want to obey and become more like him, I have decided to live a life of repentance. There are two kinds of people in this world, sinners and repentant sinners.<br />
<br />
I am either the former or the latter, but again... the entire gospel is predicated on the fact that we are all sinners.<br />
<br />
Everyone is broken.<br />
<br />
As Paul reminds us in Romans 3:<br />
<br />
"9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“<b>There is no one righteous, not even one</b>;</div>
<div>
11 there is no one who understands;</div>
<div>
there is no one who seeks God.</div>
<div>
12 All have turned away,</div>
<div>
they have together become worthless;</div>
<div>
there is no one who does good,</div>
<div>
not even one.”</div>
<div>
13 “Their throats are open graves;</div>
<div>
their tongues practice deceit.”</div>
<div>
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”</div>
<div>
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”</div>
<div>
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;</div>
<div>
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,</div>
<div>
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”</div>
<div>
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have I made the case yet that Christianity is predicated on the fact that the nature of humans is "human nature?"<br />
<br />
Paul spends Romans 7 contemplating his own sin spiral that he cannot escape, and then Romans 8 REJOICING that God loves him and saved him anyway! If you know anything about me, and my relationship with God, you know how important these two chapters are to me.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
7:24 "Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.<br />
8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit."</blockquote>
<div>
And then he calls me a co-heir with Christ!<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"12 So then, brothers,[e] we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him."</blockquote>
</div>
</div>
<div>
Which is a big deal given the fact that I am broken and can't stop breaking things. Which I am and I do, because that is the nature of a human. Which I am.<br />
<br />
All I can do is continue to try to clean up after myself and do better next time, and depend on the free gift of salvation that God gave me.<br />
<br />
So FB has declared the Christian view of human nature verboten on their platform. Will they block people for posting any of the scripture that I have posted here? ANY scripture on our fallen nature, or need for forgiveness, or any scripture at all?<br />
<br />
Where does the attack on Christian theology end if it starts with doctrine of the sinful nature of man?<br />
<br />
This week I will spend my time exploring and developing my other social media profiles.<br />
<br />
THIS JUST IN: FB repents of sin, commutes sentence to time served after I posted this blog.<br />

UPDATE 7/18: And the Facebook persecution of those who quote St. Augustine continues! Yesterday my friend Yvette shared my post, and the Augustine quote, adding, "Being accountable for your own faults is now hate speech!!!!"<br />

</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’m putting together a story about the vaccine choice movement specifically how it seems to be more organized and well-funded than ever.

First off, why is she contacting me about CHD?
Second, that exchange turned into the following in her article:
"Not every group in the anti-vaccine movement says it is seeing growth. Ginger Taylor, director of the Maine Coalition for Vaccine Choice, said her organization was struggling for funding, especially when they were battling “a $30 billion a year liability-free pharmaceutical sector.”
Meanwhile the Maine Coalition for Vaccine Choice had DOUBLED in size in 4 months.
And note that she called me "vaccine choice" to my face and "anti-vaccine" in the article.
Also note that she filed her story under the heading "Ruh Roh."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">She says this too: "Experts say the anti-vaccine or vaccine choice groups, as they commonly refer to themselves,..."
So what we identify as doesn't matter? Wow. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">At least she quoted, </span></span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">“a $30 billion a year liability-free pharmaceutical sector.”</span><br />

</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the 1990s, as the vaccine injury epidemic began to bloom, parents asked Public Health for treatment for their injured children, but they refused to provide it.</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the 2000s, as the vaccine injury epidemic came into full swing, parents asked Public Health for vaccine safety reform, but instead they made the vaccine program more aggressive.</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the 2010s, as the vaccine injury epidemic began to decimate child health and public systems, parents gave up on previous requests, instead demanding vaccine choice in order to get away from the abusive vaccine program, and now public health is telling them they cannot leave their abuser.</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I believe that in the coming decade, because the Public Health will not admit to its failure that is crippling the country, the vaccine program will collapse under the weight of its own corruption.</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">And it will be the vaccine program's own fault, because it simply will not admit to being exactly what the 1986 Act called it when the law was passed 33 ago.

We ask a lot of our citizens. To get as many as 26 inoculations in the first few years of life, and five shots at one time. It's hard to do that, especially given that vaccination is a violent act, you pin the child down, you give them this biological agent against their will. The biological agent generally isn’t understood well by the parent, and to some extent not understood all that well by the physician." –Paul Offit</span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
The history of Paul Offit's comments and pronouncements are as bizarre as they are varied. The defacto salesman for the global vaccine industry regularly issues mistruths about vaccine safety and efficacy, attacks both vaccine injured families and those who have learned from them how to protect their families from such a fate, and occasionally says something reasonable. It is the latter moments, when Offit tells the truth, that highlight how unreasonable he is in his usual missives.
Today, such a message was brought to my attention.
In March of 2011, the Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia interviewed Paul Offit and Seth Mnookin about their books attacking vaccine injured families and those who have stopped vaccinating because of the corruption and risk in the vaccine program.
Offit actually validates vaccine risk aware parents by admitting to the inherent violence in vaccination:

As always, Offit's faux compassion for vaccine injury families is not born out in his behavior. His true disdain for those who are opting out of the products he makes a living promoting are reflected both in the title of his book that he was selling at the time, "Deadly Choices: How the Anti-Vaccine Movement Threatens Us All," and in his on camera treatment of the father of a child paralyzed by vaccines who approached him for an interview.

So in summation, Paul Offit's message to you is that if you choose not to vaccinate, it is reasonable, given that vaccination is violent and we are asking a lot of you to participate in such an aggressive schedule, even though it is safe for an infant to recieve 100,000 vaccines at one time, however, you are a threat to us all, and if you want to talk about it, get the fuck out of here. He doesn't want to talk to you.

Law360, Los Angeles (April 11, 2016, 4:00 PM ET) -- <b>Benjamin J. Horwich’s career achievements include helping convince the U.S. Supreme Court to effectively prevent drug companies from exiting the vaccine market, a critical matter of public policy, earning the Munger Tolles & Olson LLP partner a spot on Law360’s list of the top six appellate attorneys under age 40.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Horwich, who recently turned 39, was named a partner in January, just 17 months after he joined the firm. He attributes part of his success as a Rising Star to being exposed to an enormous number of different legal issues through his time as Assistant to the Solicitor General in the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as clerkships in the U.S. Supreme Court, the Third Circuit and the Northern District of California.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“As an appellate lawyer, there is really no substitute for having a broad base of areas of the law where you have some familiarity,” Horwich said. “Our stock in trade is talking to generalist judges who tend not to have extremely deep knowledge of any single subject matter but rather a desire to fit the pieces of the law together in a harmonious way. Coming to an appellate court with that common ground is really valuable.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>During his more than five years with the U.S. Solicitor General, Horwich was able to argue 10 cases before the nation’s highest court. One of the most memorable and rewarding cases, he said, was Bruesewitz v. Wyeth LLC, a 2011 ruling that held the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 preempts design-defect tort claims against vaccine manufacturers.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Horwich, who argued on behalf of the federal government as a friend of the court siding with the drugmakers, said it was important because it helped prevent pharmaceutical companies from exiting the less than lucrative vaccine market due to tort liability.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>“The law stands as one of the most ingenious and successful pieces of tort reform ever,” Horwich said. “I’m certainly proud of being a part of delivering on the promise that Congress sought out to make in the 1980s and certainly take only the smallest amount of credit.”</b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Horwich said he uses that experience and many others, as well as his time clerking for Justices Samuel A. Alito and Sandra Day O’Connor, to help him in his practice. His ability to “marry the understanding of the local courts with the long view of what a case looks like if it’s impacted by the Supreme Court” brings value to his firm’s clients, he said.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In advising Swedish telecom equipment maker Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson Inc. in its patent licensing dispute with tech giant Apple Inc., one of the biggest mobile tech cases of the past year, Horwich said they were preparing to address the unresolved issue of how courts will assess damages for standard essential patents on fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory, or FRAND, terms.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“That’s an issue at the forefront of the intersection of IP and antitrust law,” Horwich said. While the issue wasn’t decided due to a global settlement reached between the parties in December, Horwich said his appellate experience provides him with a key long-term outlook at the trial level.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Understanding how precedent develops in appellate court gives you an advantage at trial court, where you’re building that record,” he said. “Bringing that long-term perspective is valuable to a client who is interested in the sound development of the law that governs its business activity.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
One piece of advice that he offers young lawyers looking to advance their careers is to distinguish yourself from other attorneys.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“The background I have developed is something distinctive,” Horwich said. “Being able to explain what you as an attorney can offer that is distinctive is the path to success, because it puts yourself in the best position to tell clients, ‘I’m the right person for this job.’”</blockquote>

<br />
Super, super gross.<br />
<br />
He is "<b>PROUD</b>" to have left hundreds of thousands of people without the right to walk into a courtroom and tell their story to a jury, or compel anyone in the entire $30B per year industry to testify under oath on product safety... or even hand over one single document.<br />
<br />
Totally disgusting.<br />
<br />
He believes that gutting the 7th amendment to protect a business that kills babies by chemical poisoning, even when they are still in the safety of their mother's womb is "<b>ingenious.</b>" And of course that the massive violation of the Bill of Rights to make open fraud that has resulted tricking parents into destroying the health of their own precious children, decimating more than one generation of children, is a "<b>success</b>."<br />
<br />
Well, to be fair, he is not wrong on that last point. NCVIA and VICP are the most successful frauds in US history. No one has ever managed the consiquence free murder and maiming of children for profit like the post 1986 US National Immunization Program.<br />
<br />
"But, Ginger," you may say, "Why attack him personally... he is just a lawyer doing his job, right?"<br />
<br />
Nope. He "<b>takes only the smallest amount of credit</b>" for my lack of ability to hold Sanofi responsible for lying about the safety of the vaccine that gave my son brain damage, and prevent any other children from suffering what my son did, but he has taken credit none the less. So...<br />
<br />
Meet Ben Horwich. The smiling face of evil. At your service for the right price. Not even the slaughter of innnocent babies will stop him from getting you the money and power you want.<br />
<br />
HIRE HIM TODAY!<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
So today I heard the one millionth politician say another version of, "The benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks," and got my panties in a <b>huge </b>bunch, repeatedly hammering "DATA PLEASE!!!" into my poor keyboard. And then the politician sitting next to her became the one quintillionth to say a version of, "I just refuse to believe that all the public health professionals and scientists and doctors and nurses in all the land everywhere in perpetuity would be in a conspiracy to....,"and it is just driving me crazy.<br />
<br />
So I took a deep breath and I am writing this to respond to those who repeat what they have been told with out critical thought. I will not name them, as they have agreed to meet with and listen to some of our moms (pray that normal reason guides the conversation), but I am writing this response to them as a primer to people who are stuck in the "that conspiracy is not possible" paradigm.<br />
<br />
OK... great point. Conspiracies fall apart faster the larger they get, and if all people involved in vaccination were part of a conspiracy, it would have burned itself out by now.<br />
<br />
But can you believe a group of people I can count on my fingers might decide to tell big giant lies to keep themselves from getting in trouble? How about just ONE GUY? Would one guy try to get away with it, if for example, he had allowed bad policy, corporate influence, arrogance and flat out laziness to create THE most rampant epidemic of neurological damage in American history? Would that one guy try to lie and cover it up?<br />
<br />
And do you believe that a top down profession like medicine, would simply believe that ONE GUY, if he was supposed to be the NATIONAL EXPERT entrusted with issuing stances on such matters that all those in medicine had to carry out, or be shoved out of the profession?<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
"He acknowledged the prospect that vaccines might rarely trigger autism."</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
“I guess, that, that is a possibility,” said DeStefano. “It’s hard to predict who those children might be, but certainly, individual cases can be studied to look at those possibilities.”</blockquote>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
That is NOT AT ALL even remotely like what he said in is official position that ALL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS IN THE COUNTRY HAVE TO RELY ON.<br />
<br />
So why would <b>Frank </b>say that it is a possibility that vaccines can cause autism?<br />
<br />
Because <b>Frank </b>already KNOWS that vaccines can cause autism. He found out in 1999 the first time he looked into it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj629W_ONUWoWge67u0iGOMfAP8bY6nrlmMYdEPxCKlS5wmTk2s-qUJSj1sCqCzeUHIyFIDI-bqqy1lKQphRa-9KPQHnYccfVjbthBcHlx0R1hKI5p1OahQcVd6Z_M1AlN_dj8BSQ/s1600/Verstraeten.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="690" height="584" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj629W_ONUWoWge67u0iGOMfAP8bY6nrlmMYdEPxCKlS5wmTk2s-qUJSj1sCqCzeUHIyFIDI-bqqy1lKQphRa-9KPQHnYccfVjbthBcHlx0R1hKI5p1OahQcVd6Z_M1AlN_dj8BSQ/s640/Verstraeten.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<b>You see, Frank screwed up.</b><br />
<br />
In 1988, when CDC began to jack up the number of vaccines from 23 given in the 70s and 80s, to the 70ish doses given now, they created the largest epidemic of life long neurological damage in US history. The autism rate went from 1 in 10,000ish to now 1 in 68ish (but probably really 1 in 36ish. we can't get CDC to give us a straight answer.)<br />
<br />
This started becoming apparent at the end of the 1990s, when one woman at the CDC issued a memo that said, "Hey guys... do you realize we have delivered truck loads of mercury into babies by giving them 8 vaccines at a time now?" Well clearly it was not a problem, because vaccines are the best thing ever and can't hurt anyone, but <b>Frank's </b>job was to look at that stuff, so he kinda had to look into it.<br />
<br />
And that is when The <b>Frank </b>Squad found out that Team CDC was delivering 250 times the daily limit of mercury to babies, and babies getting the most mercury in their vaccines had a 600% higher chance of getting autism than babies getting no mercury.<br />
<br />
<b>Frank </b>had a choice. Admit to what he had done, or lie.<br />
<br />
<b>Frank decided to lie.</b><br />
<br />
He decided NOT to publish what he found, instead having his squad spend four years trying to unfind what they found. They couldn't. So they added on some garbage, published it, called it a "neutral study" and then a dude wrote a New York Times best selling book on the fraud. Which <b>Frank</b>, and everyone else at CDC, ignored.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Evidence-Harm-Vaccines-Epidemic-Controversy/dp/0312326459" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="880" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge46qJp1SQcij_570mW5clsB1NA43vSsXK7zW2uZksKQnoRNSie_Ly14QxsLBms32w4U2Uyi6yWpMmSSLxP0Zbjw2ncEO-hCUUd5aqCZL6B-_b8wskcAs9nyNrf05kkyYyfh8wbA/s320/EOH.jpg" width="207" /></a><span id="goog_744756656"></span><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_744756657"></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
But they had to ignore it, because they had charted their course and could not turn back now! Once you commit the first fraud, you have to keep on frauding or you are super busted.<br />
<br />
Plus they had already published their second fraud. Because they had also looked into the idea that MMR was linked to autism, and found that IT WAS. In two different groups. One of the black males given the MMR under age 3. Of course they didn't publish that either, but literally held meetings with a garbage can in the room to throw out cases that they had to get rid of to make the research to fit the narrative.<br />
<br />
Of course parents of MMR injured kids knew the paper was BS, but no one could prove it for 10 years, when one of <b>Frank's </b>boys admitted to Congress that they found the links and covered them up.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Which is why <b>Frank </b>FINALLY had to admit to Attkisson that it was in the realm possibility that vaccines can cause autism.<br />
<br />
But he never bothered changing the CDC page emphatically claiming that vaccines don't cause autism.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now for above referenced politicians, there is a LOT MORE ON ALL THIS. But I am going to stop here because it only gets more complicated. But I have laid out so basics. Do you see how, even from a 30,000 foot level, there is an obvious problem??<br />
<br />
I ask you to consider this....<br />
<br />
Yeah... of course.... you can't keep a conspiracy quiet when millions are involved.<br />
<br />
But when the leader of an organization, given total power over what US vaccine safety policy is, decides to lie and commit fraud, and everyone inside his organization has to live by his pronouncements, and in the medical profession has to work according to CDC pronouncements, you see how a very small conspiracy can come to rule the medical profession?<br />
<br />
They become participants in the fraud, either knowing or unknowing... either willing or unwilling... but they HAVE to participate in the fraud in order to keep their jobs. They have to tow the line, (so it is best no to look to closely at the issue, because what if parents are right?)<br />
<br />
Now factor in the legal liability protection that the 30 Billion dollar vaccine industry has for vaccine induced autism, and every other adverse vaccine reaction, and the number of very smooth lobbyists that the 30 Billion dollar per year vaccine industry has to lie to politicians on a daily basis, and you see how the medical professionals might be believing a lie...<br />
<br />
...without being involved in any conspiracy what so ever?<br />
<br />
I appreciate you agreeing to meet with moms. If you could also invite <b>Frank </b>DeStefano to attend, so we can ask him direct questions on his work and conflicting public stances, it may clarify what is really happening in this very controversial issue very quickly.<br />
<br />
Also, if you could invite a judge to swear him in, under oath, I think you will come to understand our complaints about the veracity and trustworthiness of vaccine safety claims with crystal clarity.<br />
<br />
Bring a stenographer and a video camera.<br />
<br />
This is not a vast conspiracy. It is a small one, reinforced by those who need to believe it to keep their jobs, and those who refuse to listen to parents and investigate the charges that they make.<br />
<br />
<b>And every time you parrot "I can't believe that all doctors would participate in a conspiracy to cover up vaccine damage." Pretend you just said, "I can't believe that all catholics would participate in a conspiracy to cover up child molestation."</b><br />
<br />
Because the reason that both have persisted decade after decade, is because you and people like you "refused" to take reports of injured children seriously.<br />
<br />
Usually because it is such a monstrous thought that no one wants to entertain the possibility that it could be true.<br />
<br />
So see, I don't really have a problem with you. I have a problem with <b>Frank</b>. And with those who helped and protected <b>Frank</b> knowing full well <b>Frank </b>was committing one of the most massive frauds in medical history.<br />
<br />
But I can't get to <b>Frank</b>. <b>Frank </b>does not talk to people like me. <b>Frank </b>has security guards and laws that prevent me from forcing <b>Frank </b>to answer questions under oath.<br />
<br />
And because you, <i>unknowingly </i>are running interference for <b>Frank </b>by dismissing <b>Frank's </b>massive fraud when parents like me report it to you, WE (you and I) end up having a problem.<br />
<br />
But there is a line for everyone in this discussion, when dealing with super loud moms like me, that when crossed turns sincere ignorance on the fraud into willful ignorance. Have you crossed that line yet? If you are still willing to listen to moms, then probably not. Be careful of crossing it.<br />
<br />
Finally.... seriously... why are you letting <b>Frank </b>use you as a human shield? Respectfully... you guys don't actually know what you are talking about on vaccine safety, and you are not actually responsible for the false claims Frank DeStefano Inc. are spitting out. You didn't do the research. You have not even read the research, much less understood the criticisms of it. Why don't you just step out of the way and make <b>FRANK </b>answer for the fraud that he has perpetrated on the American public, and the world.<br />
<br />
Stop protecting <b>Frank DeStefano</b>. It is not your job.</div>

I have done something very wrong for a very long time.<br />
<br />
When I learned that some vaccines were made from aborted fetal cells, and still contained those children's biological material, I was so upset that I shut it out of my mind and work and life.<br />
<br />
I pretended in my heart to unknow what I knew, and not say it out loud so I would not have to know it is true.<br />
<br />
And I didn't include it in many of the warnings to parents when I was offering them information to give them greater informed consent on vaccination. People whose religion or world view may have precluded them from getting such shots. Even while purporting to do my best to offer them informed consent on vaccination. <br />
<br />
I didn't even tell all my fellow Christians.<br />
<br />
That was wrong. And it was done out of fear. Because I didn't want to deal with the horrid truth that I had administered these things to my children, and had administered to me.<br />
<br />
So here I repent. I am sorry. Everyone is due that information and I didn't give it to everyone.<br />
<br />
So I won't leave that out any more just because it is upsetting. Because it is so upsetting.<br />
<br />
If you were one of the parents I should have warned, I am sorry.<br />

<br />
On July 14th of this year, I was
scrolling through twitter and saw a graphic of graphic of a bunny
holding a sign, and thought, <a href="https://twitter.com/GingerTaylor/status/1018344068810788865" target="_blank">“cute, Imma try that. cut/paste/fill in sign text/ what could it say... umm... "Vaccines Cause Autism.”</a> Tossed up the little throw away tweet and didn't think of it again.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
I have been investigating and
writing about the relationship between vaccines and autism since
2004, and put out a few thousand tweets on the subject, that get a
bit of discussion, but none prepared me for The Great Vaccine Autism
Bunny Ratio of 2018.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A few days ago someone RT'd it
somewhere, and twitter noticed and it made many of them very unhappy.
Hundreds of comments flowed in. I was all, “Wait... THIS is what
gets people to pay attention to this subject and engage with us on
vaccine risk?!” A decade of documenting fraud, discussing research,
sharing government vaccine safety guidelines, sharing videos of
official government meetings on vaccine safety, and apparently I
should have just tweeted three word bunny memes.<br />
<br />
But no
worries. Ultimately I am grateful for the bunny as he has brought us
together, and you have asked a question that I want to answer. And
because I have been unable to keep up with answering the questions,
and so many are repeat questions (that I have started cutting and
pasting answers to) I decided to give you a one stop destination for
answers. Some have not been phrased in the kindest way possible, or
given me much of the benefit of the doubt, but they are important
questions none the less, so...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<br />
<b>1. “Wrong... lies. Where's
your proof?”</b><br />
<br />
While it is not in the initial tweet, so many
didn't see it, the second tweet in that thread is a link to a list of
papers that I have been compiling over the last 11 years to rebut the
false claim that, “There is no evidence of any link between
vaccines and autism.” Because the vaccine industry has spent a
great deal of time and money cultivating that falsehood, few know
that research show multiple links between vaccines and autism. You
can read the list here:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.scribd.com/doc/220807175/151-Research-Papers-Supporting-the-Vaccine-Autism-Link" target="_blank">151 Research Papers Supporting the Vaccine/Autism Link</a><br />
<br />
Despite decades of parental requests to
have these and other lines of inquiry followed up, CDC and NIH have
refused to conduct any large scale follow up research on these
findings.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>2. “Well 150,000 prove they
don't.”</b><br />
<br />
There are no studies proving that vaccines don't
cause autism. The American Academy of Pediatrics offers 48 papers
that fail to find an association between vaccines and autism.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<a href="https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/immunizations/Pages/Vaccine-Studies-Examine-the-Evidence.aspx" target="_blank">Vaccine Safety: Examine the Evidence</a><br />
<br />
Note that unlike my list which makes clears that it
is ONLY offering the evidence that supports the vaccine/autism link,
AAP's article title suggests that you are getting ALL the evidence.
It then proceeds to give you ONLY the research that fails to find an
association between vaccines and autism, while presenting not one of
the papers I have offered.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Further note that the AAP's position
statement no longer claims that vaccines don't cause autism. They
don't claim anything at all, one way or the other. It is a carefully
worded statement that talks about research that fails to find an
association, but notes that there is other research on vaccine-autism
causation that they do not include. I have written a piece on their
position here:<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>3. “So you would rather your child have
polio than have autism?”</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
My initial response is, “What? How
did you get from “Vaccines cause autism” to there? I haven't made
ANY vaccine recommendations here! Then I remembered that there is a
30 billion dollar per year vaccine industry committed to you making
these kinds of leaps.<br />
<br />
You seem to have assumed that I am
advocating for an end to vaccination. I am not anti-vaccine, and my
children are vaccinated. I have written a lengthy discussion of my
vaccine position and experience for the Johns Hopkins Journal,
<a href="http://mainevaxchoice.org/2017/01/21/narrative-inquiry-in-bioethics-families-are-under-no-obligation-to-put-their-children-at-risk-by-participating-in-the-corrupt-current-us-national-immunization-program/" target="_blank">Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics</a>. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
This is not an either/or proposition. There is risk from both
complications from any vaccine, and the diseases that the vaccine is
targeting. We must have an honest evaluation of both, and use that
information to prevent harm in either case to individual children
with DIFFERENT biological risk factors for each.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I do not give advice to others on
whether or not to vaccinate, or how to vaccinate, I merely offer
resources to families so that they can make their own decisions.<br />
<br />
But did you know that the vaccine schedule when I was growing up was 24 doses, birth to 18, and the current schedule is 70 doses? And that the tripling of the vaccine schedule began in 1988, two years after Congress gave the vaccine industry complete immunity from lawsuits against vaccine injury or death?<br />
<br />
You know that there was no autism epidemic in the 70s and 80s OR epidemics of vaccine targeted diseases, right? Even for the diseases that we now vaccinate for, but didn't then.<br />
<br />
So how is this a choice between fully vaccinating now, or death? If I survived with a third of the vaccines kids get now, then why must I have to vaccinate my children the way I was vaccinated or watch them die?<br />
<br />
And why arn't children dying left and right in Denmark?<br />
<br />
Could it be that you have been lied to by the vaccine industry about exactly how badly their products are needed?<br />

“Article 6 – Consent<br />
1. <b>Any preventive, diagnostic and

The vaccine industry, which
includes<a href="http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/examining-rfk-jrs-claim-cdc-owns-over-20-vaccine-patents" target="_blank"> the vaccine patent holding CDC</a>, has committed fraud in
asserting that vaccines are not linked to autism. As demonstrated
above, there are many links between vaccines and autism. HHS has
admitted this in their response to reporters in the Hannah Poling
case, where a girl with autism was paid for her vaccine induced
encephalopathy by the government's Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program, that:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Encephalopathy may be accompanied by
a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic
behavior, autism, or seizures.”</blockquote>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I work toward vaccine safety reform and
informed consent. We need a dramatic overhaul of the National Vaccine
Plan, including prescreening for genetic and autoimmune risk factors
before vaccines are administered, immediate treatment of symptoms
arising post vaccination, mandatory education for doctors and health
care providers on government and manufacturer vaccine safety
guidelines, alternate schedules for high risk cases for reactions,
low cost readily available titers testing, and most importantly, the
repeal of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.<br />
<br />
There
is a rapidly growing research base on autism causation and treatment
that health officials are ignoring, that can make vaccination safer,
and improve the quality of life for those with autism. Health
officials must implement this established science and end the false
dichotomy of “fully vaccinate or die” arguments.<br />
<br />
<b>5. “...better education for doctors” lmao how about better education for ginger taylor instead?"</b><br />

<b>6. Yes you ARE anti-vaccine!</b><br />

No.
Talking about vaccine risk and vaccine injury does not make one
anti-vaccine, and more than talking about the serious side effects
that some people have from antibiotics makes one
anti-antibiotic.<br />

Services discusses many of the serious adverse reactions some have to
vaccines, including death. This does not make HHS anti-vaccine.</div>

No, The Theory of Vaccine Induced

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The first paper to link the two was the
first paper on autism, by Leo Kanner in 1943. The idea was discussed
for decades, to the point that in 1991 the Institute of Medicine was
including it in their reports on vaccine safety funded by the
National Institutes of Health, published by the National Academy of
Sciences and edited by none other than Harvard's Harvey Fineberg...
seven years before the Wakefield paper.<br />
<br />
And again, as shown
above, there are now more than a hundred papers discussing the link.
Yet the public has been sold the lie that there is just ONE retracted
paper by this ONE guy who came up with the whole thing that has been
“debunked.” Details on the 75 year continuous history of
vaccine-autism discussion in the medical literature here:</div>

<b>8. "But I know someone who has
autism and was never vaccinated, so you fail!"</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
There are several genetic and
environmental causes of autism. Vaccination is merely ONE of the
environmental causes. They also include medications taken during
pregnancy, medications administered in childhood, and contaminants in
the food, air and water. There are unvaccinated children with autism.<br />
<br />
<b>9. "But I got all the vaccines and am not autistic."</b><br />
<br />
Not everyone who eats a peanut goes into anaphylaxis. Nor does everyone who gets a bee sting or takes penicillin. But some do.<br />
<br />
It is the same with vaccines. Not everyone will have a vaccine adverse reaction, but some do.<br />
<br />
Spend some time reading the adverse reactions of each vaccine, and what contraindications each shot has, that can help predict who will have a bad reaction ahead of time.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
This is a very, very good question. Kudos. I wish I had asked it before my kids were vaccinated. <br />
<br />
In 1986, Congress
passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act that was eventually
interpreted by the Supreme Court, which barred those injured by
vaccines, or families of loved ones killed by vaccines, to file
lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies that made the dangerous
vaccines.<br />
<br />
At the same time, Congress declared all FDA approved
vaccines, "Unavoidably Unsafe" which means it cannot be
made safe for it's intended use.<br />
<br />
Then Pharma started a
campaign to declare that "Vaccines Are Safe," and to
mandate them for first school children, then medical professionals,
then those dependant on social services, and soon for everyone.
Based on the claim that "vaccines are safe" even though
they are "unavoidably unsafe."<br />
<br />
You think that this
would be an easy law suit to win, but again, no family has be able to
get into a civil court and have a jury hear any vaccine injury case
in more than 30 years. It is a mess.<br />
<br />
So to those who are
vaccinating. Buyer Beware. Do your homework first. Thousands of
families like ours have learned the hard way. Once you have a
vaccine injury, you are on your own.</div>

“The story of how vaccines came to be questioned as a cause of autism dates back to the 1990s. In 1995, a group of British researchers published a cohort study in the Lancet showing that individuals who had been vaccinated with the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) were more likely to have bowel disease than individuals who had not received MMR. One of these researchers was gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield, MD, who went on to further study a possible link between the vaccine and bowel disease by speculating that persistent infection with vaccine virus caused disruption of the intestinal tissue that in turn led to bowel disease and neuropsychiatric disease (specifically, autism). ” - <a href="https://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/do-vaccines-cause-autism" target="_blank">The History of Vaccines</a>, The College of Physicians of Philadelphia. </blockquote>

The story of how vaccines came to be questioned as a cause of autism dates back to the first paper describing autism in 1943.<br />
<br />
<b>1943</b><br />
<br />
In his disorder defining paper "<a href="https://simonsfoundation.s3.amazonaws.com/share/071207-leo-kanner-autistic-affective-contact.pdf" target="_blank">Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact</a>," published in Nervous Child in 1943, Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins University included the first report of vaccine induced autistic regression. In Kanner's case series describing the first 11 children documented to have the disorder, case number 3, “Richard M.” is reported by his mother to have begun his developmental regression following a smallpox vaccination. From the paper:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Case 3. Richard M. was referred to the Johns Hopkins Hospital on February 5, 1941, at 3 years, 3 months of age, with the complaint of deafness because he did not talk and did not respond to questions.” </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Following smallpox vaccination at 12 months, he had an attack of diarrhea and fever, from which he recovered in somewhat less than a week.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“In September, 1940, the mother, in commenting on Richard's failure to talk, remarked in her notes: I can't be sure just when he stopped the imitation of words sounds. It seems that he has gone backward mentally gradually for the last two years.”</blockquote>
<br />
The time line of Richard M, according to the paper, is thus:<br />
<br />
November 1937 – Born<br />
<br />
November 1938 – Vaccinated with Smallpox vaccine<br />
<br />
September 1940 – Mother reports developmental regression beginning approximately two years previously, the autumn of 1938.<br />
<br />
February 1941 – Referred to Hopkins for evaluation, and in 1943, becomes the third child to be described as autistic by Leo Kanner in his disorder defining paper, the first paper published on autism, 55 years before Wakefield.<br />
<br />
Yet Wakefield et. al. Included parental reports of vaccine induced regression in their 1998 paper, “Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children” in the Lancet in 1998, and are credited (or blamed) with originating the discussion on vaccine induced autism.<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that the 55 year old discussion had been developed, published on, and the subject of official HHS inquiries before anyone ever knew the name Wakefield.<br />
<br />
In the 40s and 50s, the Freudians were in command of the narrative on childhood mental health, and maternal rejection of the child was asserted as the source of the rare disorder. This until Bernard Rimland, Ph. D. ended the supremacy of the unfounded and misogynistic theory, and began the era of medical investigation into the origins of autism in the 1960s.<br />
<br />
<b>1976</b><br />
<br />
In March of 1976, in Germany, Eggers published, “<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/944354" target="_blank">Autistic Syndrome (Kanner) and Vaccination Against Smallpox</a>” wherein he described that:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“3-4 weeks following an otherwise uncomplicated first vaccination against smallpox a boy, then aged 15 months and last seen at the age of 5 1/2 years, gradually developed a complete Kanner syndrome. The question whether vaccination and early infantile autism might be connected is being discussed. A causal relationship is considered extremely unlikely. But vaccination is recognized as having a starter function for the onset of autism.”</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<b>1988</b><br />
<br />
From the first time I heard the name “Wakefield” in the media in the early 2000s, I had always known that the story that Wakefield kicked off the suspicion that vaccines may cause autism in 1998 was bogus, because the first time I heard the theory was in an undergraduate psychology class during my 88-89 year at George Mason University. During a very short discussion on the rare childhood developmental disorder called “Autism” that Dustin Hoffman had in that movie Rainman, our professor noted that it might be cause by vaccines. I made a mental note of that and decided to look into it when I had kids someday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1991</b><br />
<br />
By the opening of the 1990s the vaccine-autism causation discussion was so widespread that the Institute of Medicine was including it in their reports on vaccine safety funded by the National Institutes of Health, published by the National Academy of Sciences and edited by none other than <a href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/harvey-fineberg/publications/" target="_blank">Harvard's Harvey Fineberg</a>:<br />

Excerpt<br />
Parents have come to depend on vaccines to protect their children from a variety of diseases. Some evidence suggests, however, that vaccination against pertussis (whooping cough) and rubella (German measles) is, in a small number of cases, associated with increased risk of serious illness. This book examines the controversy over the evidence and offers a comprehensively documented assessment of the risk of illness following immunization with vaccines against pertussis and rubella. Based on extensive review of the evidence from epidemiologic studies, case histories, studies in animals, and other sources of information, the book examines: <b>The relation of pertussis vaccines to a number of serious adverse events, including encephalopathy and other central nervous system disorders, sudden infant death syndrome, autism, Guillain-Barre syndrome, learning disabilities, and Reye syndrome.</b> The relation of rubella vaccines to arthritis, various neuropathies, and thrombocytopenic purpura. The volume, which includes a description of the committee's methods for evaluating evidence and directions for future research, will be important reading for public health officials, pediatricians, researchers, and concerned parents.<br />

<br />
<b>1998</b><br />
<br />
Andrew Wakefield, according to the current false narrative and revisionist history pushed by mainstream medicine and their media partners, magically erases 55 years of history and discovers the vaccine-autism causation theory for the first time, in much the same way that Christopher Columbus “discovered” the Americas, half a millennium or so after the Vikings had made my home state of Maine a vacation spot.<br />
<br />
He did what Kanner did in 1943. Took patient histories, and including parental reports in a paper.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>CURRENT YEAR</b><br />
<br />
The scientific record on vaccine autism causation began with the scientific record on autism, and extends to today. The vaccine industry narriative that Wakefield was the beginning and end of the plausabilty of vaccine induced autism theory is an absurd lie. Read the record for yourself:<br />

Update: Well that didn't take long. The LAT has put doctors on notice that writing medical exemptions will get them in trouble with the medical board. The article actually admits that the ruling will have a chilling effect on doctors, and quotes a woman celebrating that fact.<br />

and Dr. Soon-Shiong's commitment to leaving behind the era of

integrity and independence." I am writing to offer you a

My faith in mainstream media "science journalism" ended in
2009 because of the LA Times, the abysmal and juvenile
reporting they were publishing on very serious vaccine safety
issues, and the appalling exchange I had with their science
writers and editors on their "fake news." It resulted in a,
widely circulated, in-depth piece on the bad faith of the
paper, and in science reporting in general. At the time I
cautioned that the course the paper was on would only lead to

have seen that come to fruition in this era.<br /> </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">
It is my understanding that Dr. Soon-Shiong is in the vaccine
industry himself, and unfortunately we have seen how that kind
of conflict of interest in media ownership results in bias, so
I am dubious that the LAT will make the changes needed to
conduct earnest, objective reporting on these issues.

And I didn't include it in many of the warnings to parents when I was offering them information to give them greater informed consent on vaccination. People whose religion or world view may have precluded them from getting such shots.<br />
<br />
I didn't even tell all my fellow Christians.<br />
<br />
That was wrong. And it was done out of fear. Because I didn't want to deal with the horrid truth that I had administered these things to my children, and had administered them given to me. <br />
<br />
So here I repent. I am sorry. Everyone is due that information and I didn't give it to everyone. <br />
<br />
So I won't leave that out any more just because it is upsetting. Because it is so upsetting.<br />
<br />
If you were one of the parents I should have warned, I am sorry.Ginger Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-47952246482946121812017-11-24T21:23:00.000-05:002017-11-26T21:33:30.847-05:00The Maine Vaccine Consumer Protection Act<div style="text-align: center;">

Who is AAP? A doctors union. Just like BMJ:</span><br />
<span class="s1">
New AAP President Shows Us His Priorities, And It Is Not The Health of American Children</span><br />
<span class="s6">American Academy of Pediatrics, was asked the following question:</span><br />
<span class="s1">
The unofficial vaccine educators: are CDC funded non-profits sufficiently independent?</span><span class="s1"><br /></span><span class="s1">
Key messages</span><br />
<span class="s1">
• Industry funded non-profit organizations are an important provider of vaccine related information for the public and health professionals</span><br />
<span class="s1">
• CDC also funds advocacy groups that campaign for influenza vaccination mandates for healthcare workers and for the removal of non-medical philosophical and religious exemptions for families of schoolchildren</span><br />
<span class="s1">
• The complex public-private funding of vaccine advocacy groups lacks sufficient transparency and raises questions about whether such sources can independently assess official vaccination policy</span><span class="s1"><br /></span><span class="s1">
The gist:</span><br />
<span class="s1">
- Vaccine compulsion have always been controversial.</span><br />
<span class="s1">
- They promote themselves as sources of reliable information on vaccines, but hey also receive funding from both vaccine manufacturers and the CDC.</span><br />
<span class="s1">
- Education or lobbying? Officially, the CDC is neutral on vaccine mandates, 14 and the agency steers clear of directly influencing state law, telling The BMJ: “CDC’s policy is to not take positions on state-specific legislation.”</span><br />
<span class="s1">
BMJ asked IAC, AAP, ECBT and CDC to disclose the money going from CDC and Pharma to these "independent" orgs!</span><br />
<span class="s1">
- Mintzes told The BMJ that “these groups are so strongly pro-vaccination that the public is getting a one sided message that all vaccines are created equal and vaccination is an important public health strategy, regardless of the circumstances.</span><br />
<span class="s1">
- Ended with:</span><br />
<span class="s1">
“My head is spinning listening to this description of the tangled relationships—should we call them co-dependencies?—of these entities,” Schwitzer said. Independence is about being free “from outside control or support.” “An antonym for independence is reliance,” he said. IAC, ECBT, and AAP are “certainly not financially independent. And it would appear they are also not philosophically and intellectually independent, which is just as important—if not more so—in this discussion.” Ensuring such independence seems an essential first step for any organization that wants to seriously respond to public concerns about the safety of childhood vaccines."</span><span class="s1"><br /></span><span class="s1">
P.S.</span><span class="s1"><br /></span><span class="s1">
"Box 2: Mommy blogging for the CDC Like many commercial companies, the CDC sees marketing potential in “mommy blogging.” In 2015, it recognized the power of “online influencers, including mommy bloggers, [for] get[ting] the word out about the benefits of flu vaccination for families.” And last year, it came close to purchasing the services of a marketing company that specializes in mommy blogging made to order. The company, Megan Media, posted a sign-up sheet for “CDC Vaccination Awareness Paid Blogging Opportunity” on the internet: “We are looking for Moms with kids under the age of 2 years old (or who can reach that audience) who want to raise awareness around childhood vaccinations,” the ad read. “Please fill in the form below if you are interested and feel free to forward this on to any other influencers you may know who would be interested in spreading the word!” Megan Media trades in what the advertising world is calling “influencer marketing,” predicated on the idea that consumers themselves can be powerful marketers, sometimes in excess of traditional advertising. According to a McKinsey report, “marketing-induced consumer-to-consumer word of mouth generates more than twice the sales of paid advertising.” 27 Ultimately however, CDC decided against it. “In the end, we did not use nor did we pay Megan Media, instead choosing to use internal resources to get the information to parents and others.”</span></div>

We need ACIP watchers.<br />
<br />
How do we <b>not </b>become like those causing damage? How do we become more wise?<br />
Repentance.<br />
<br />
<b>Numbers 5:5-7</b><br />
<b>"The Lord said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way and so is unfaithful to the Lord is guilty and must confess the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged." </b><br />
<br />
1. Stop what you are doing<br />
2. Say what you did wrong<br />
3. Clean up your mess, plus 20%.<br />
<br />
What would it be like for you if you were approach by the people who had wronged you, and they carried out true acts of repentance for what they did? How healing might that be?<br />
When we are constantly course correcting we avoid causing others major harm<br />
<br />
Here's what a repentant doctor looks like:<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course each family must make up their own minds, and the well being of their own child is their primary responsibility in this decision, but I believe that as a Christian, I do have a moral duty to warn others about vaccine injury, as likely does any individual who subscribes to the Judeo/Christian ethic.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Ezekiel 33:1-6:<br />
<br />
The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’<br /><br />I have made a graphic with a simple letter for anyone to use, when they feel that they have a duty to warn, so that they can quickly share, with out having to get into an argument.<br /><br />
