mRe: Re: Charges Dropped Against Doctor Over Autistic Boy's Death

[Guest guest]

interesting...

this doctor was trying to help this little boy using chelation therapy. it's

controversial for a reason. the boy dies and the doctor should not be held

accountable.

not too long ago, an actor's children were harmed because a nurse screwed up and

didn't read the dosing information correctly and it was somehow the

manufacturer's fault because of standard labeling.

doctors vaccinate children to help prevent illnesses and it's the doctor's and

big pharma's fault that kids are autistic. except of course, if the parents are

also doctors, then it's just big pharma's fault.

not sure where i'm headed with this. i'm just really tired of hearing the

vaccination debate, blaming everyone for this thing called autism, and defending

people who make tons of money using our kids to practice on when there are tried

and true methods available - if you happen to be a millionaire or can write a

book that will make you a millionaire - so you can pay for what your child

needs.
