[Guest guest]

It helps to go back and pull the vaccine schedule for the years these

children were born, and immunized versus say a group of children born

in 1985. You can clearly see a difference. Count up the shots a child

born in 1995 would have had by the time they were 5 years old. And

count up what a child born in 1985 would have had by that same age.

I worked in early childhood ed in the early 1990's. I came across ONE

child who would classify and definitely had " something " wrong. I did

not know what then, but do now. In fact, he was removed from the

center due to constant biting, aggression, head banging...a very angry

little child that could not be managed. I always felt bad, knew there

was something wrong but in 1991...but not what.

Now look at a room of kids that age, and at least three are

autistic..and others have other labels. I have a 13 year old and a 5

year old...I can clearly see the increase in schools between when the

the 13 year old was in preschool and when the 5 year old was. There

were no special ed children in my 13 year olds pre-k. My 5 year

old...had four other children in addition to himself. In kindergarten

last year, there were three other boys and one girl beside himself

that are special ed. And two more that looked like they should

be...judging by the trouble they had in class.

I work in our local school district and we can barely keep up with the

growing need for services. We now have so many 12 to 1 and 8 to 1 and

6 to 1 classes. In fact, at the sixth grade level, we had to move them

all to one school and set up their own set up with their own principal

support staff etc. We could not keep having staff driving all over the

district to provide services. It's so obvious to me, but to the

schools, they know there is a huge problem, but not why.

eight years why our school's kindergarten classes (year 2000) suddenly

had several children with autism. There were four K classes, and each

class had a mainstreamed autistic child. It just didn't seem right,

and I'd never seen such a sudden increase in children mainstreamed

with this diagnosis. With a little bit of inquiry last winter, I

found that the varicella vaccine had been added to the schedule in

1995. The dots were suddenly connected!

may know. In our state there is a DRAMATIC difference in test scores

for 4th graders from last year to the prior year. The trend has been

fairly consistent. 2007-2008 4th graders were born in 1997-1998.

Anecdotally, you can see a difference -- the teachers after this group

is done for the year always look like they've been hit by a truck.

There are more boys with ADHD and behavior issues -- but the test

scores don't lie. I'm not talking a classroom or school - the state

scores show a difference. So -- didn't the vaccination schedule nearly

double for 1998 births?
