Yeah, there is that gorilla which most people avoid talking about. And then just making something up is something too.

Thanks for the jinks Shea. Obama just called me. I asked for my change back! :lol:

Well, I did not attend the event in Boulder. It appears nobody here did ether.

We are all going to die. How and when is the unknown. Having a time-line with Britain's first kiddo dying from measles since 1992 doesn't mean much, link (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/4871728.stm). Its easy to give part of the story for the spin factor. ;)

CSU student, Christina Adame died from meningococcal sepsis, link (http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=159034&catid=339).
"Nancy Adame says it was Christina who took it upon herself to go get the meningococcal disease vaccination in 2006."

Just because someone gets a vaccination, doesn't mean they're better off.

Hannah Poling (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20015982-10391695.html) received multiple vaccinations at once. The one-size-fits-all approach of herd vaccination has casualties. However, most people are not properly informed.

More than 60 children had a direct affect from the seasonal flu vaccinations across Australia in April 2010, link (http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/flu-vaccination-ban-goes-national-after-fever-convulsions-in-children-20100423-tglp.html?from=age_ft). A flue vaccine ban for children under 5? Eventually the ban was lifted, link (http://www.ibtimes.com/contents/20100730/flu-vaccination-ban-fluvax.htm).
Did the US govt temporary consider Australian children under 5 visiting the states as potential terrorists, because of the infectious virus they were not vaccinated against? :lol:

Last year I had a discussion with a med student regarding immunosuppression with vaccines, link (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19903779).

. Its easy to give part of the story for the spin factor. ......sort of like the Wakefield quack.


CSU student, Christina Adame died from meningococcal sepsis, link.
"Nancy Adame says it was Christina who took it upon herself to go get the meningococcal disease vaccination in 2006." ....."Its easy to give part of the story for the spin factor" again, that vaccine does not cover all subtypes of Niesseria meningiditis.



Hannah Poling received multiple vaccinations at once. The one-size-fits-all approach of herd vaccination has casualties. However, most people are not properly informed.
This is kinda scary, need to read more about it. I wonder who made the decision (jury or judge) and how they came to it. Does not seem like they were following what the research says.



More than 60 children had a direct affect from the seasonal flu vaccinations across Australia in April 2010, link. A flue vaccine ban for children under 5? Eventually the ban was lifted, link.

......ok. Even in the article they state that it was probably due it impure lot of vaccine.



Last year I had a discussion with a med student regarding immunosuppression with vaccines, link.

Can't read any article, just the abstract.

The truly sad part is that this fraud has convinced a great many people based on shoddy "science" and the children are worse off for it. Herd immunity is lost and diseases that were once controlled are reignited. The guy had a vested interest (that he admits to in interviews) in a new treatment, was financed by a consortium of lawyers seeking to sue the makers of the vaccine (proven) and used a horrifically small sample with no control groups (once again, proven). Not much "spin" when it comes to his bs. He gets a lot of play out of the "big pharma" is out to get me...

His data has been refuted, large studies done to contradict his "theories" and thiomersal (methylmercury) which he and others claim was the cause of autism was removed from the MMR vaccine. The result: rates of autism went up. Great theory.
