Watching today's show (4/8/08), I witnessed something quite

disturbing. While featuring the viewer who had a baby last year, the

segment included a video message from a doctor reminding her (and the

audience watching) to keep up with their child's vaccine schedule and

especially requested to get the flu vaccine. Blind adherence to the

vaccine schedule without consideration for an individual child's

health issues/sensitivities or vigilance regarding the ingredients of

said vaccines is putting children's lives at risk. The Ray

Show has thus put more children at risk for brain disorders, like

Autism, or even death. Before espousing vaccinations, the staff of

the show should have done some research. My daughter, who is deathly

allergic to eggs, received vaccines using chick embryo before we even

knew of her allergy. She now has Autism. Don't get me wrong, I'm not

saying to pity her...she is an amazing kid! However, had we known

about her allergy and the vaccines themselves, we would have done

things very differently, which is our parental prerogative, in order

to protect our child's health. For more on this issue, I implore you

to look at these to websites:

http://www.ageofautism.com/2008/04/why-the-autism.html

The Age of Autism link is a piece written by (who has a

son with Autism and is the daughter of the founders of Autism Speaks).

It is only fair that in a future Ray Show that the other point

of view get to speak, so that parents are well informed. To quote

McCarthy, " we not anti-vaccine; we are pro safe vaccine and

vaccine schedule " . ...if your show is truly concerned about

children's health, you should be " pro safe vaccine and vaccine

schedule " too.

speaking about Sen. said " ...he was the

single most optimistic person I'd ever known. He honestly believed that

if people of good will put their effort in something; if they worked

hard enough, anything was possible... "

In my heart, I believe that too!
