Actor Peet Joins with Every Child By Two and the American

Academy of Pediatrics to Urge Parents to Get the Facts About Immunizations

August 4, 2008 10:00 AM EDT

" Vaccinate Your Baby " Campaign Kicks Off

What: Every Child By Two (ECBT) and the American Academy of

Pediatrics (AAP) are launching a new campaign with actor Peet

to urge parents to immunize their babies from vaccine-preventable

diseases. This new initiative will address misinformation about

vaccines that causes confusion among parents and puts children at

risk. These myths are resulting in real life consequences - the

United States is currently facing the largest measles outbreak since

1997. At this press conference, broadcast Public Service

Announcements featuring Peet will be unveiled as well as a new

comprehensive web site for parents who want to get the facts about

childhood immunization.

Who:

Peet, Actor and mother

lynn , Former First Lady and Cofounder of ECBT

Betty Bumpers, Former First Lady of Arkansas and Cofounder of ECBT

, MD, FAAP, President, American Academy of Pediatrics

Offit, MD, Chief, Division of Infectious Diseases and Director,

Vaccine Education Center, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Ann Hotez, Mother of autistic daughter

Amy Pisani, MS, Executive Director, ECBT

When: Tuesday, August 5, from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. EDT

Where: Gramercy Room, Peninsula Hotel, 3rd Floor

700 5th Avenue at 55th Street

New York, NY

A dial-in number will also be available.

RSVP: Please e-mail Zavolinsky

(<mailto:@...>@...) if you will be

attending or participating by phone. Due to hotel security, RSVPs are required.

Every Child By Two, the lynn /Betty Bumpers Campaign for

Early Childhood Immunization, works to ensure that all children

receive timely immunizations and continues to seek methods to

institutionalize vaccine delivery and ensure access to vaccines for

all children. For more information, visit <http://www.ecbt.org>www.ecbt.org.

Twyla at Aug 5, 2008 02:25 AM RSVP Dear Ms. Zavolinsky, I am sorry to

say that I can't make the press conference to launch the " Vaccinate

Your Baby " campaign, since I live on the other side of the country.

If I could be there, this is what I would like to say: Instead of

just focusing on convincing parents to ignore the rumors of vaccine

problems and get their babies vaccinated consistent with the current

standard schedule, how about addressing the vaccine problems?

Thousands of credible parents are telling similar versions of the

following story: " My child received several vaccines, followed by

screaming inconsolably for hours/very high fever/seizures/going into

a trance, and then lost his/her ability to talk, socialize, play and

learn, and developed severe gastrointestinal and immune system

issues. " Why do you call these credible accounts " myths " ?!?!? Why

aren't the CDC and other agencies studying individual vaccine-injured

children? And why aren't the CDC and other agencies doing a study

comparing health issues of vaccinated and unvaccinated children? What

makes you think that we know what we are doing when we give babies

two dozen vaccines by the age of two, and another dozen before

entering school? Why are more and more vaccines being added to the

schedule, without studies of the long-term cumulative effects of so

many vaccines at such a young age? I grew up at a time when everyone

came down with measles, German measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox,

flu, and whooping cough. I don't know anyone who suffered lasting

effects from these illnesses. Yes, rare complications occur. But how

does the risk of these illnesses compare with the risks of vaccines?

We do not know, because the adverse events from vaccines are simply

being denied, not studied. Today's children have increasingly high

rates of autism, ADD, severe allergies, asthma, and auto-immune

disorders such as diabetes. What are we doing to our babies' immune

systems? Are these serious life-long disabilities really a good

trade-off for what were once routine childhood diseases? Why are all

newborns given the Hepatitis B vaccine at birth? Most of them are not

even at risk of Hepatitis B, which is communicated via bodily fluids.

The assumption is that the vaccine is harmless, so why not give it to

everyone. A newborn baby's body is not even fully functioning yet;

how can it process such a vaccine on the very first day of life? I am

not anti-vaccine. I understand the value of vaccines. But we are

doing too much too soon, without adequate study of adverse events,

the effect of multiple viruses on vulnerable young immune systems,

and the safety of ingredients such as aluminum and thimerosal. These

are real, serious problems affecting a growing number of children.

There is developing science confirming the causal relationship

between these problems and vaccines. These problems cannot be hushed

up forever, and those who are trying to sweep everything under the

rug are going to look awfully foolish when the vaccine-autism link

becomes common knowledge. AoA and DC Rally Group Reader at Aug

5, 2008 02:18 AM Go get 'em says Dr. Jay Excerpted from the

DCRally group. Quote from Dr. Jay Gordon, McCarthy's

pediatrician: " Avrielle, please go after these people. Let me know

what I can do to help you. " Thanks Dr. Jay. Thanks a ton.

AutisticLiving.com at Aug 5, 2008 02:00 AM AOA: Every Child by Two is

a front for Wyeth At least that is what JB Handley claims in this

great article.....

http://www.ageofautism.com/2008/08/every-child-by.html

AutisticLiving.com at Aug 5, 2008 01:54 AM Huge mistake, lol. Fools

This is such a huge mistake on their part, lol. Huge. It's wonderful

for us, but brutally stupid on their part. The absolute perfect thing

is, CBS just recently exposed their financial conflicts of interest.

Is anyone going to show up besides the media? lol. I'm guessing it

will look like a Mike Gravel campaign rally. I'm still laughing at

" Betty Bumpers " . Is that some kind of porn star? I hope they have

video available. This should be funny. at Aug 5, 2008 01:49 AM

30 Million children targeted FluMist Vaccine 30 Million children

targeted for FluMist Vaccine to begin Aug 2008 This is NOW! Google

this phrace with no spaces ( vaccinenews ) This is critical we need

to get the word out ASAP! Nigel at Aug 5, 2008 01:12 AM Look to the

futureIf the current rate of autism continues, by the year 2050,

every child in the USA will be born Autistic. Wonder what the pro

vaccine people will say then? Probably won't matter, no one will

understand anyone anyway. lisa at Aug 5, 2008 01:12 AM shotsi believe

that the hep shot is what hurt my son. it was the first year that the

shot was given on a babies 2nd day of life. this was back in 1992,

ever since the austism started to be seen every where. we have come

across many people that have children my son's age that are autistic.

i truly believe this all isn't a coinsedence do you ? Laurie at Aug

5, 2008 01:11 AM Maybe its too much for the babies bodyCould it be

that all the vaccines are too much for the baby's body to handle? I

mean I have been told by my friends who have kids that their baby was

taken away from them pretty much right after birth and was given

shots. Could it be that the time span we are giving these kids shots

is actually harming the baby's bodies and development. Today's world

is so much different than in the past when kids were given these

vaccines. Children's bodies may not be able to handle all these

vaccines and its causing their development to be harmed and for more

children to have an onset of autism. I work with autistic children

and some of my parents have said that they saw changes after the shot

is given. There is so much controversary over these shots, honestly

as someone who is not a parent yet; I don't think I would give my

child these shots and if I did I would insist that the shots were

done over a span of time. Dr. R BLake at Aug 5, 2008 01:10 AM

Vaccines are a poor subsitute for healthI have watched vaccines

damage my animal patients for 38 years. The same damages are

happening to children. The probability of the vaccine causing damage,

is far greater than the probability of contracting the natural

disease. I have recommended to my clients for over 25 years to not

vaccinate their animals, and my patients have been healthier than

those who are vaccinated. If you review the CDC's records about

epidemics and the role vaccines played, you will find that by the

time the vaccines came out on the market, their were no new cases of

the disease the vaccines were supposed to protect against. Sincerely

yours, Dr. R Blake at Aug 5, 2008 01:07 AM How can

they be " safe " ?The supposedly safe vaccines contain: lye,

formaldehyde, aluminum, hydrochloric acid, ethylene glycol

(antifreeze!), phosphates, MSG (we demand Chinese food without it),

acetone, alum... My first question? WHY?? We would not feed any of

these things to our children (it would be child abuse!), yet somehow

the powers that be deem these things okay to inject into our

children!! There has to be a better way. DIana at Aug 5, 2008 12:54

AM VaccinesIf I had it to do over again, I would do it differently.

My son didn't need a HebB vaccine on his second day, and whether any

of his many vaccines provided him with a net benefit is very much in

question. I believe his mercury poisoning is due to vaccines.

Fortunately, he is getting better via IV chelation, special diets,

supplements, etc. I used to think people who saw a correlation

between vaccines and developmental delays were CRAZY.... but now I

KNOW they are not crazy at all. I wish I would have listened.

Sullivan at Aug 5, 2008 12:17 AM An autism parent speaks outI have a

child with autism. I've looked at the data closely, believe me, and I

just don't see the link. As to Steve--it took guts to bash Ann Hotez,

the mother of an autistic child. Gut, but no class. Guts as in,

thanks for making autism parents look cruel. It's no wonder the

comments here have been over-run like they have. For those who don't

know, McCarthy sent out an email about this. Thanks .

Thanks for projecting this image of autism parents. I hope all the

Steve's of the world don't take 's advice and they stay away

from the press conference. Margaret Romao Toigo at Aug 5, 2008 12:06

AM Great news! I am the mother of two autistic children and I am very

glad to learn about the " Vaccinate Your Baby " Campaign. The

proliferation of anti-vaccination activist literature on the Internet

is a growing threat to public health, as young parents (who may never

have seen the devastation caused by diseases we now prevent with

vaccines -- because of vaccines) foolishly reject vaccines on the

basis of misinformation disseminated by anti-vaccination activist

groups groups like TACA, SafeMinds, and Generation Rescue. Debbie

Gies-Bucks County, Pa, at Aug 4, 2008 11:55 PM How many more

children's future's will be stolen?My son, now age 28 was at the very

beginning and was injured from the DPT Vaccine 1981. Today, he will

never live independent of caregivers. He is now costing taxpapers

millions of dollars for his care. There are many more individuals who

soon will be aging out, no longer entiled to special education after

age 21. How will the government keep up with the influx of adults now

entering the systems already overflowing? We need to begin by

examining the vaccines and the vaccine schedule. Is there such thing

as a 'safer " vaccine? I seriously doubt it! Dana C Sturdivant at Aug

4, 2008 11:33 PM Vaccine's safe what a scam!Yes, I too have a vaccine

injured child who spoke clearly and then lost all words within day's

of his last set of shot's...Enough is enough! They are very desperate

at this point because they know voice's like McCarthy, Boyd

Haley, Kennedy Jr. and many other's have gotten the message

out! They're scared and this is their tactic! Sometime's I speak to

people until I feel I am blue in the face. Telling them of what

happen to our precious son and how he get's better as we get poorer

shelling out every dollar we earn for IV chelation, special foods,

trips out of town for hard chamber hyperbaric's, music therapy, ABA

therapy, hippotherapy, antiviral treatment's, supplement's, full-time

help to help keep him stimulated, so he keep's coming back to us!

This child who was kidnapped from us and awakened by diet

intervention and hyperbaric's. We fly across the country to get help

for him and he improve's, but has a long way's to go! We do IV

chelation with glutathione and vitamin C and his skin color come's

back and he tan's again for the first time since the vaccination. His

comprehension is a 1000 percent better and we have only done 8 IV's

and he want's to get them, because he know's it's helping him! He

open's the door and climb's up on the table himself. Our children are

sick because we vaccinated them! And after all of that people still

go and trust their doctor and give them all of their shot's...why...?

because it hasn't happen to them yet and hopefully will never. God

Bless all of you mother's and father's who have a vaccine injured

child...keep voice heard! God Bless y'all! at Aug 4, 2008

11:19 PM Vaccinations Could Mean DEATH!Check out VAERS. It is NOT a

coinsidence that SIDS coinsides with the 1st 6 months of life where a

baby can get up to 20 shots not including vaccinations that have more

than one virus. Check out the ingredients-how can you inject anyone

with aborted fetuses, aluminium, mercury, formaydehyde, latex, monkey

kidneys etc etc. Autsim is not the only side effect. What about add,

adhd, seizure, fever, DEATH, autism, autoimmune disorders, MS,

learning problems, cancer, leukemia, the disease itself, genectic

mutations like AIDS, epilepsy etc etc etc. Open your eyes people and

follow the money. Vaccines are hurting our children. OPEN YOUR EYES!!

EDUCATE BEFORE YOU VACCINATE! Steve at Aug 4, 2008 11:15 PM Ann Hotez

" Ann Hotez - Mother of autistic daughter " and wife of Hotez,

president of the Sabin Vaccine Institute. What a freaking joke. Rick

at Aug 4, 2008 10:54 PM Evil money? Evil practice! " The LOVE of money

is the root to all evil " ! 6:10 My wife and I agree with

those who take a stand against forced vaccines...but please keep in

mind that any comments placed here are available to the public at

large and therefore can be misconceived when a quote is incomplete or

missing information. Ingri Cassel at Aug 4, 2008 10:51 PM People

believe in vaccinesThat is the real milestone here to cross -

realizing that vaccines do not work in preventing disease but

actually cause the chronic illnesses you end up going to your doctor

for and then he prescribes more medication to cover-up the harm done

by the vaccines. When are people going to understand that vaccines

are their cash cow to keep the population chronically ill and

demanding more and more drugs? We are a drug-free family -- and being

a grandmother, I am a witness to the health of the pharma drug free

and the unvaccinated in my life. Why would any " thinking " person

willingly have known neurotoxins and pathogens cultured in animal

tissue (shedding DNA) into their precious children? If you look for

the real science behind this barbarism, it simply isn't there. Is the

vaccine paradigm so powerful that it has become a religion with

participants willing to sacrifice their children on the altar of

" public healtth " ? Or are people so afraid to be " in error " that they

would rather go along with the experts of the current " trends " and

suffer the consequences rather than admit they made a mistake... At

some point we must realize that we likely live in a society gone mad.

jhowell md at Aug 4, 2008 10:50 PM plausible deniability as a

physician and mother of 8 yr old boy with severe autism i cannot

understand the science of current vaccinations, given the knowledge

that only about 12% of autism is directly attributable to genetics.

yes Yes there is so much we do NOT know (c. 88% unknown causes) but

those of us who have suffered with a suffering child and seen direct

terrible changes after multiple vaccinations have to wonder, why on

earth would the AAP choose capriciousness over safety, caution, do no

harm. ??? We already know that mitochondrial disorders are a huge

unknown but important factor in vaccine injury(Hannah Poling, March

2008). This vaccine/autism connection is just that, a connection. One

no one completely understands but no one can plausibly deny any

longer either. Investigate, study, accept the reality that many of us

live with vaccine injured children and do not lie to us, do not think

that denial will prevail. Thinking that the current vaccine schedule

per AAP is safe for all children is undeniably doing harm.. , denial

is the first state that MUST be overcome if ANY truth, any hopeful

changes can occur.Changes that will help those of us suffering and

prevent additional casualties. FIND ANSWERS, not enemies. This is

what our nation needs. Courage, not dogma. Tocco at Aug 4, 2008

10:35 PM Vaccine Toxicity Offit, who gets paid to promote

vaccines as safe ($350 thousand by Merck and much more) and sits on

CDC advidsdory committe recently stated that " Thoeretically, a child

could get 10,000 vaccines and do alright! " I think you, Dr. ,

should bend over and take the same vaccines... only weight

appropriate! Lets make sure they contain Aluminum, Lead, Mercury,

Phenol, Acetone, Glycerin, MSG and Formaldehyde like the kids shots

and make sure you take 10,000 as well. Dr. , put your body and

your health on the line like you ask all these children to do! If you

are into vaccine education, perhaps you should learn more about the

carcinogenetic ingredients and how they injur children who are under

developed and unable to deal with the toxic load. Parents of this

country are no longer trusting doctors because of docs like you.

There is no stopping the education now about alternatives to toxic

vaccines. Families have been hurt and children have died and suffer

because of this flawed vaccine program. The time has come to face the

parents in truth and justice. NO MORE TOXIC VACCINES! Tocco

at Aug 4, 2008 10:29 PM Vaccines Safe???? Myth- Vaccines are

safe Fact- Peete is not only a bad actress..SHE is an ignorant

" parasite " Measles outbreak? How about Autism Outbreak! GREEN OUR

VACCINES! Marie at Aug 4, 2008 10:21 PM Autism rate in non vaccinated

children?Is it also 1:160? There are now enough children out there

that were not vaccinated to do a full study between the 2

populations. Simple and efficient. It wouldn't cost much. How come no

one from the CDC or AAP order it to definitely close the debate????

We all know why! patriot frmKy at Aug 4, 2008 10:16 PM Smoke and

MirrorsThe FDA, CDC, and the AAP are all towing the company line. The

saddest part is that its no longer an " ignorance is bliss " issue and

the truth is these organizations are now willingly and knowingly

keeping the Autism rates at a controlled rate to prevent the smoking

gun from ever being exposed. Any immediate change to the vaccine

schedule, particularly in the first six months of life, nation-wide,

would cause an immediate decrease in Autism(and Related NBD's)

diagnosis within four to five hordes(children divided by birth

years). Money , they say, is the root of all evil ,and perhaps it is.

After all, money is the only reason why are future generations are

being placed at risk and the children being born today are still

being damaged 1 by 1, out of every 150. Best at Aug 4, 2008

10:14 PM Proof Vaccines are Good Here's an offer for Offit to

help autistic children. I hope he'll accept.

Warrior Mom Recovering Son at Aug 4, 2008 10:13 PM We all need to

file in Vaccine CourtThe giant capitalist corporate machine we call

America will continue on its path of destruction and take away our

children's futures. My son had 18 shots by 14 months and the flu shot

with thimerosal left me with a shell of a child!!! I am tired of

talking with moms who have an 18 month old that won't talk yet - and

guess what; one or both parents have ADD. Well it's all linked and I

WISH the mainstream media would have the BALLS to stand up to the big

drug companies. But they can't because that's where all their

advertising dollars come from these days. And the drug companies,

well they want to keep the recommended CDC schedule not only for the

initial shots, but they know kids will need their DRUGS later in

life. Push the immunizations early so we can have them on drugs the

rest of their lives!!! I feel the only way parents are going to be

able to take a stand is if we ALL file in VACCINE Court. If you

child's injury was less that three years ago - FILE!!! We have to

make them PAY; it's the only way we can make an impact on this

fascisms system!!! Here's the definition of fascism: Various scholars

attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following

elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism,

corporativism, militarism, authoritarianism, statism, dictatorship,

populism, collectivism and economic planning. In addition, Fascism

opposes classic political and economic liberalism, conservatism and

communism.. Furthermore, fascist regimes subordinate free enterprise

to perceived national interests. It sounds all too familiar to me!!!

Kathy at Aug 4, 2008 10:10 PM Stop telling lies and state the true

facts...........My beautiful 13 year old daughter was born in 1994

when the first wave of this madness began. The hepatitis B shot

started her downfall at age one month old in combo with antibiotics.

At that time she developed chronic yeast infections, diarrhea and

projectile vomiting. At 6 months old her body became totally floppy

and she was diagnosed with hypotonia after her 6 month vaccinations

and additional courses of antibiotics. Our children's health is not

one size fits all. If the AAP, Peat, lyn ,

Offit and others lived the hell my daughter and our family have lived

the last 13 years I wonder if they'd think twice before recommending

more and more vaccines. What about all the reported side effects,

death and neurological disorders that are children are suffering at

the hands of vaccine mandates, and pharmaceutical companies?? My

daughter has not had a life. She has lived through 10 years of

therapies, severe gastroentestinal problems and pain, no ability to

communicate other than single words or help using a communication

device, OCD, severe gross and fine motor delays and problems, severe

sensory issues that affect her ability to function in the community,

self injurious behaviors due to frustration and stomach pain, strict

diets to help her function at her best, no friends, no social life,

and on and on............................ We as parents know what

happened to our children. Where is the respect for that?? We believe

in vaccinations, that's not the issue here. It's too many, too soon

!!!! at Aug 4, 2008 10:09 PM real factsGet on

www.autismfacts.com and read the CDC, EPA, WHO, FDA maximum allowable

limits of mercury exposure. Then scroll down and see how vaccines are

putting 12-50 times more than that into BABIES. But hey, stay away

from that tuna right?? Gibson at Aug 4, 2008 09:56 PM Did Anyone

Hear of First Do No Harm?The definition of stupidity is doing the

same thing and expecting a different outcome. I am not a scientist,

but I know what happened to my son two weeks after he received the

MMR shot. Welcome to the world of autism. What happened to first do

no harm? Why doesn't someone answer that question at the press

conference? Adelaide Zindler The E-School Coach at Aug 4, 2008 09:56

PM Animal vaccine controversy resolved...Hello Guys! Thanks so much

for allowing this open forum, even one that opposes your world view.

How refreshing and welcomed! Thank you! Having seen one parents after

the other cry to me about the change in their child, then reading the

front of the phone book where the contact information is listed for

those who have been injured by vaccines, and interviewing the

foremost authority on the effects of vaccines in the U.S. in my

7-week parent audio training series, I then took it upon myself to go

one step further outside the mainstream box to see where else

evidence could be found of an injurious effect of these vaccines. So

I also included in the series an interview with an animal vet who

talks about this exact same controversy in animals and how passionate

pet loving advocates have forced pharmaceutical companies to all but

completely eliminate these shots in familly pets. The result has been

more than just a statistically significant decline in the number of

fatalities and long term injuries: animals are no longer suffering in

droves at the hands of their own doctors. I pray that more parents

will visit the issues from a side of this elephant other than just a

human perspective. Animal advocates have clearly set a precedent for

free our most vulnerable family members as well. It really is a

parent's right to choose who will support our strategic plan after

all! Believe well! Adelaide Zindler, B.S., Fp The E-School Coach

http://www.FearlessParenting.com sgray at Aug 4, 2008 09:54 PM THINK

LOGICALLYIt is very simple. Look up the ingredients in vaccines.

Think about someone injecting these toxic chemicals into your body.

Remember when years ago they acted as if you would die if a

thermometer broke and you swallowed the mercury? How come it is " ok "

to inject it directly into your system? Does that even seem logical?

If you went to your doctor and he said let me give you a shot of

mercury, aluminum, or some other toxin because it will help you,

wouldn't that make you a little nervous? Now that I know what is in

vaccines it makes me cringe at the thought of them doing this to

children as well as anyone else. Come on, this does not make common

sense!! If a " breaking news " report came on about someone lacing baby

food with mercury, aluminum or some other toxin would you say, Oh, it

won't hurt them, it's the same thing that is in vaccines. Maybe it

would even be helpful in preventing disease. I didn't think so.

Please do the research and make your " own " informed decision. Mom of

vaccinated child gone wrong at Aug 4, 2008 09:40 PM When will the

lies stop?Oh my.. so tragic. Vaccine awareness couldn't be more one

sided if you aren't going to acknowledge a nation of children injured

already. And by age 2, why? Their bodies are so immature, can't even

fight off the live viruses injected... this is insane.. I thank God

every moment that when I prayed to help my autistic son, I found the

strength to tell my Pediatrician NO when more vaccines were

considered. And allowing him to RESPECT my decision, and even grow

from the knowledge that my son's countless test results showed put

him at risk. May he find strength amongst other Pediatricians to

spread truth, not wealth, where vaccines are considered!!! Rita at

Aug 4, 2008 09:39 PM Vaccines I'd like to see every jackass promoting

vaccines to drink one. How about it Ms. Peet and Mr. Profit? Joan,

gammy to 5 yr old silent autistic Miles at Aug 4, 2008 09:38 PM Will

someone please listen???!!!!!!No longer can we repeatedly deny that

vaccines play a role in our kids problems. As " Vicki " (above said),

CLEAN THEM UP!!!!!!!! And yes, very obviously not one of those on

this board has an autistic child to try every day to figure out what

would be best for him/her. It is an unending battle, every where you

turn. And I truly resent this because my Miles is the most lovable,

special boy God could have every given this family, and he deserves

so much more than this. renea at Aug 4, 2008 09:33 PM WOWdo your

thing, but its the wrong thing. MY SON was givin 9 shots and i lost

him after that and everyone that new him saw that and they haven't

given there childs shot. i am glad to have THE SMART ones on my side.

HOW much are they payin you to this ONE...? get real I hope it pisses

and pours on all your asses! Vicki - " 's Voice " at Aug 4, 2008

09:30 PM Toxic Burden and AutismThe majority of folks, if not all,

who weigh in on this subject most in defense of current vaccine

formulas and schedules do NOT come home to a child they saw change

after receiving these toxins. I saw the change. I know what happened

to my . His threshold for " toxic burden " was reached as a

result of the mercury, arsenic, aluminum, and formaldahyde poisoning

he incurred...How did he get poisoned? Well, these ingredients are a

1-for-1 match on the ingredient list of the vaccines. It's no irony

he has autism. It is no irony that he cannot speak. It is no irony

that he has such gaastrointestinal problems that he postures

constantly. Anyone know what that means? Anyone who does NOT have a

child with autism know what that means? It means that he lays across

the arm of the couch, or his rocking horse, or the counter in our

kitchen, dangling his feet over the edge to place deep pressure on

the gut...because he is in pain and needs relief and can't even say,

" Mommy, my tummy hurts... " I am ANGRY with the AAP for setting a

schedule that is so agressive. I am ANGRY " with them for being

ignorant to this clear and obvious link. They claim there is no

evidence. I have evidence. His name is " " !!! My 4 year old son

has incurred repeated immune offenses and his toxic burden has been

too heavy for his little body to process and he has been " triggered "

into autism. His immune system has been left vulnerable and he has

had one gut issue after another. Now, he has a bacteria in the gut -

some offshoot of Clostridia, I believe, called probionic acids, the

very thing that Dr. Dennic McFabe of autismcanada.com has been able

to " trigger " autism in his rat study....Amazing. Sad...And my

is off the charts with it now...'s autism is manifestation of

an automimmune breakdown. It is the SYMPTOM this problem. It is a

result of being poisoned with toxins - YES! Those found in the

God-forsaken vaccines that were supposed to help save him. Clean them

up! CLEAN THEM UP!!!!! CLEAN THEM UP!!!! Make them safe! Safety is

more important that profitability! Lives count. counts. Autism

will NOT dictate silence. I AM HIS VOICE! HE IS MY HEART. I will make

certain he is counted and that his hard work each and every day is

not in vein. - 's Voice in OH Sam at Aug 4, 2008 09:21 PM This

is richI cannot believe the AAP is stupid enough to promote

themselves with anything involving Offit. They are truly, truly

clueless. Cecilia at Aug 4, 2008 09:19 PM Its all about the money...

The vaccine's makers are getting richer and richer at the cost of our

kids health, this is so wrong... At 1 year old my son received 5

shots...he was never the same after that. Father of son recovering

from vaccine insult at Aug 4, 2008 09:16 PM Try try again..Offit the

prophet and another gang of story tellers. The facts are not all out

there and published, so how can this not be more fiction to mislead

families astray who are stuck in the middle. Kind of like we were 6

years ago when we decided to go ahead and 'trust' the recommendation

to vaccinate at 18 mts. The same day our son was FOREVER changed. We

have been painstakingly working to treat the INSULT to his body. Not

just toxins, but from a collapsed immune system thanks to these so

called educated folks who think the immune system comes in a one size

fits all. Anyway, this is trash, and someday us parents who have been

unfortunate witness, will calmly be able to stand up and said we were

right. Heidi at Aug 4, 2008 09:14 PM Vaccines by 2This type of ad

campaign wouldn't be needed if the CDC and AAP came clean with the

parents about the true risks and unknowns of vaccines and started

working toward safety. It's a terrible decision a parent has to make

whether to vaccinate or not - either way, you loose sleep at night.

Let's work together to bring out honesty and get those independent

safety trials underway - our gov't needs to build our trust again!!

In the meantime, spread them out, take out the pollutants and test

babies to see if they are allergic to anything in the vaccines BEFORE

vaccinating!! " Common sense, ain't so common " holisticmom at Aug 4,

2008 09:13 PM so incredibly sadIf only people could learn to take

care of their bodies, their children's bodies, put their own health

and the health of their families into their own hands. Expecting the

government to mandate what is right for every child, every person is

ludicrous. Stop this madness! For real! Vaccines do not work. They

make people sick. I thank GOD every day that we have a CHOICE in our

health decisions and I pray, PRAY that we remain free to choose. I

will never inject my child with the poisons these prOFFITeers want to

force on us. Save the world from MERCK, not measles, for crying out

loud - they're what's killing people, not childhood illnesses like

measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox!!! Maggies Mommy at Aug 4,

2008 09:09 PM Shame on all of you ...So then... you are all saying

that a child who screamed and then seized during and right after a

vaccination and NEVER returned to pre-vaccine health is what... a

coincidence? Did you all inject your kiddies with 55 shots? And which

one of you will care for my child? Clearly there has to be a payoff

of some sort to all of you because it ALL comes down to money in the

end not a childs life ! at Aug 4, 2008 09:06 PM WHY?Why, Why,

Why does a child have to have all these vaccines by two???? WHY does

a newborn infant need a hep B vaccine? This is crazy. I am amazed at

the sheer number of vaccines that we are shoving into our kids, and

now we want to make sure we cram them all in by two. AAP should be

ashamed. tamky at Aug 4, 2008 09:05 PM Vaccines They dont prevent you

from getting them, they just reduce the impact it has on your body

Mike at Aug 4, 2008 09:04 PM Prove itCould someone please point me to

all of the published independent testing studies that have been done

to prove the safety of vaccines? For some reason, no one seems to be

able to find them. Not even the CDC can tell me where they are? Its

kinda like trying to find WMDs. at Aug 4, 2008 09:02 PM

Vaccines/AutismUnfortunately I am unable to be there b/c my son has

his 5th psychological Evaluation tomorrow and we live in PA. However,

my son has Autism, he is damaged by a few of the vaccines he has

gotten with Mercury, he spoke until 18 months old, his DTP at 14

months,mmr shot there after, at 3 flu vaccines, in 1 1/2months at 6

ms. old, all with mercury. He has not spoken since. He is now 3. I

think there is a ton of ignorance here from some of these people,

maybe you have not had these issues, maybe you are in denial or maybe

you have no clue. The facts are here, staring in your face. Something

needs to be done and soon before more children are hurt. I would not

" trade " or change my child for a minute since the day he was born,

but i would not wish this on anyone, not another child. Stop the

poison, stop the pain, these children don't deserve it. MR. OFFIT is

a scum and a money seeking pig. nothing more than a child

molester-just getting paid for it. pedsrn at Aug 4, 2008 09:01 PM

ridiculousyou people are ridiculous! there is not proof either way,

and until there is concrete proof one way or another, it's

unprofessional to go around saying every child needs to be vaccinated

with a million vaccines at once and that benefits outweigh the risks.

if parents who are concerned about vaccine ingredients and the amount

our babies and children are given at once weren't treated like crazy

people, and not made to feel like outsiders simply because they want

to space vaccines out, there could be more working together for the

best outcome.
