Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 So easy to blame Dr. Wakefield for their own obvious mistakes. > >Sue, I really agree with this, Wakefield has been made too much of a scapegoat for all pro MMR people. He will go down in history, like many others who dared to speak the truth. I had Measles when I was only 18 months old and ended up with pneumonia too, I was not vaccinated, but my wee sister, who was born aroungd that time, did get the Measles vaccine not long before I became ill. I could well have caught it off her. Also, I had had lot of vaccines myself, at birth, and not long before I came down with measles, so my immune system was already weak. Adding to this, my mum only breastfed me for 2 weeks after birth so all this put together was a recipe for disaster.I don't fault my mum for it, she did not get any support or information. I cannot even talk to my mum about all this, she would not understand. But I have got all my cyberfriends and my sister and best friend, who are all on my wavelength.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hi Ingrid, I made that remark about Dr. Wakefield, but I'm pretty sure Sue would agree. I didn't like him at first because through his bravery and willingness to expose his unconventional findings, he was and remains a conventional doctor who still recommends individualized vaccines and prescribes immunosuppressants to little ones with already damaged immune systems. I still have a huge problem with that, but I get the feeling his feelings about vaccinations are changing; he's just not sharing yet. Who could blame for not going public if he has changed his thoughts on vaccinations; he's been through so much controversy already.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Sorry, Anita, Yes, I think I Wakefield had to do a lot of learning since he made the discovery of the MMR - Autism link. It won't be easy for him to completely let go of his allopathic thinking. I agree with you, I too have a problem with immunosuppressive drugs and individual vaccines. But at least he got the ball roling. Ingrid Anita Durney <mydurney@...> wrote: Hi Ingrid, I made that remark about Dr. Wakefield, but I'm pretty sure Sue would agree.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yes, Ingrid, he was being true to his findings, and for that, I respect him. It will be interesting to see what other findings he will be sharing with us in the future. He belongs to us now and working as hard as ever at " Thoughtful House " in Texas with vaccine damaged autistic children. I believe he is a good man with good intentions. I stood on line to speak with him a few weeks ago, but didn't have time to ask him what he thought the quality of life for those children on steroids was going to be. We know it is not good and the immune systems of these afflicted children need to be strengthened so they can deal with the severe inflamation and pain they are experiencing.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I changed my sentence below from my previous post to better express my thoughts. To heal is far better than to deal. We know it is not good and the immune systems of these afflicted children need to be strengthened so they can heal from the severe inflamation and pain they are experiencing for the long term without the harm done by the use of powerful and ultimately destructive drugs.
