Re: Vaccines

[Guest guest]

I think they need to keep looking. My son had a seizure after his MMR and ended up hospitalized. I had a normal pregnancy and he was developing on schedule. My husband has severe allergies and in my father-in-law's case it has the potential to be life-threatening. My other som did not react to the shot and is not autistic. I am convinced there is something triggering an allergic reaction. Many of the kids in his prior special ed school reacted to that specific shot based on conversations with their parents.

DR. WAKEFIELD NEVER SAID IT WAS THE SOLE CAUSE OF AUTISM...HIS FINDINGS INDICATED THAT THE MEASLES VIRUS WAS FOUND IN THE BOWELS OF THE CHILDREN HE SCOPED WHO HAD AUTISM. HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO DO FURTHER STUDIES BECAUSE HIS CONCERN WAS OVER THE SAFETY OF THE MMR WITH CHILDREN. HE ALSO RECOMMENDED SPLITTING THE THREE COMBINED SHOTS INTO INDIVIDUAL SHOTS. THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY DID INITIALLY SPLIT THE THREE VACCINES INTO INDIVIDUAL SHOTS AND THEN THEY TOOK THEM OFF THE MARKET WHICH LEFT PARENTS THE CHOICE OF ONLY THE COMBINED MMR. MANY PARENTS CHOSE NOT TO RISK HAVING THEIR CHILD SLIP INTO AUTISM (AS HAVE ACCOUNTED HUNDREDS OF PARENTS HAVING SEEN THEIR CHILD SLIP INTO AUTISM AFTER HAVING THE MMR SHOT.) MANY PARENTS HAVE FELT THAT THE THREE LIVE VACCINES IN ONE (MMR) WAS LIKE THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK WITH THEIR CHILDREN.

Has anyone paid attention to the news, the English Dr. that began the vaccine scare 12 years, has lost his job due to his unscientific studies and inconclusive reports regarding the connection between vaccines and Autism. There is NO evidence that it is the sole cause of Autism. Check it out. Its interesting> >> >> You have to love those doctors!!!
