OK, the government, in your opinion, want nothing more than to muddy the waters? <BR/>You claim that your daughter had a bad reaction to her vaccines. Then why don't you take a case to the DVIC? <BR/>You think that "vaccines are part of the puzzle." Are you referring to autism here? If so, there is absolutely no evidence backing such an assertion.<BR/><BR/>As for the website you linked to, it is distinctly odd. It's got the Defeat Autism Now stuff, and links to TACA and words and pictures from Google Uni's alumnus Jenny McCartney, but it's also linking to loads of Autism Hub blogs, written by people who clearly do not agree with the message of the vast majority of the site's content! Are you hoping to confuse people, or are you trying for a bit of balance, you know, truth and lies, good and evil?<BR/><BR/>Too true Ed. Every time these lies get propagated, it puts many people in real danger. It also keeps the disgusting myth of autistic people as "poisoned" going.<BR/><BR/>Kristina, I think they must have known the headline would make a splash. That's it a lie, seems unimportant to them.<BR/><BR/>SL I hope many more people will complain to that newspaper. <BR/>I'm glad you're taking the time to write about this topic because you're making a lot of sense and educating many people about these issues. Unfortunately, the anti-vaccine lobby have decided to spin this story as much as they can so others have to try to limit the damage they hope to inflict.Sharon McDaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550156204691696968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040139.post-35818917260857579712008-03-11T00:21:00.000+00:002008-03-11T00:21:00.000+00:00I third the "WTF!"

Spreading false statements like these is not only aggravating to those who know the facts, but is also very dangerous.<BR/><BR/>Btw...thanks for linking me.

OK, maybe we are off base on exactly what the problem is, but that does not mean vaccines are not related. My daughter's seizures started the day of the 4 month vaccines. At the 6 month cocktail, all hell broke loose and we had seizures like crazy. Maybe it's the sheer volume of vaccines given now, often at the same time. Maybe it is a combo of things like the vaccine + antibiotics surge. I don't know. I do think vaccines are part of the puzzle and the government is using the vaccines angle to confuse the issue and keep us from talking about the big picture. <BR/><BR/>Fielding<BR/>http://autismretort.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040139.post-71456576357637189802008-03-10T15:17:00.000+00:002008-03-10T15:17:00.000+00:00Thanx Sharon, I'll be writing...Colin Patterson, t...Thanx Sharon, I'll be writing...<BR/>Colin Patterson, the Editor can be reached at:<BR/>Colin.Patterson@ncjmedia.co.ukjypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105669108222678038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040139.post-84393926539499111382008-03-10T14:50:00.000+00:002008-03-10T14:50:00.000+00:00I still love my American friends!I have now summar...I still love my American friends!<BR/><BR/>I have now summarised this post (and taken out the childishly sarcastic bits) and written to the editor.

It is absolutely critical that we force journalists to have some sense, because otherwise people will believe what they read when they see a stinking pile such as this article. <BR/><BR/>Journalists are supposed to check their sources and research to make certain that their facts are correct. We need to hold them to that, and point out that pieces like this are violently skewed towards an anti-scientific agenda.<BR/><BR/>We must force the idiots who publish this kind of thing to publish a retraction, correction, or opposing view if we are ever to impact this cult religion vilifying the MMR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040139.post-47617161226280532442008-03-10T13:30:00.000+00:002008-03-10T13:30:00.000+00:00Great analysis of the vaccine "controversy" situat...Great analysis of the vaccine "controversy" situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
