I often wonder when physicians tell me 'It your genes' how enough people suddenly had bad enough genes to cause an epidemic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-8651277876408029532010-11-06T12:40:24.810-03:002010-11-06T12:40:24.810-03:00We need to be clear that far from being removed we...We need to be clear that far from being removed we now ( in 2010) have for a few years lots of unborn babies injected with full amounts of brain destroying mercury.<br /><br />Absolutely INSANEquicksilverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119450121214867658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-1557476862613214222010-11-05T10:26:21.422-03:002010-11-05T10:26:21.422-03:00I got a little curious about these accusations tha...I got a little curious about these accusations that deadly diseases started to increase because Jenny McCarthy started talking so I did a little poking around on the CDC site.<br />http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/hus09.pdf#047<br /><br /> When did Jenny start talking, around 2005. Look at the measles...measles rates have actually gone down from 2005 to 2007 (they have no data listed for after 2008 yet). So just how Jenny McCarthy is responsible for an increase in measles that didn't happen, I'm not sure. Now Whopping Cough has increased, because it requires the highest rate of compliance of any vaccine to keep disease rates down - 95%. Most disease require 90% or under and we are still well within vaccination compliance ranges for that.<br /><br />Or take the whole Autism rates went up after Thimerosal was removed argument. We can't possible know that yet and I draw this conclusion, again, from the CDC's own website.<br /><br />This link says Thimerosal was removed in 2001:<br /><br />http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/thimerosal/thimerosal_timeline.html<br /><br />This link says the latest Autism 1 in 110 numbers are based on eight year olds born in 1998, before thimerosal was removed. Until they use children born after 2001 we will not know whether or not the rate has gone up. Yet doctors going around saying it has every day without bothering to look at the actual data. <br /><br />I don't blog about this stuff because my blog has a different focus. But I'm sure glad you do.Autism Mom Risinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233102657448877126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-36395977591671002092010-11-05T09:58:45.465-03:002010-11-05T09:58:45.465-03:00Thank you Harold...particularly for that last para...Thank you Harold...particularly for that last paragraph. I find this way of thinking to be offensive. I did a GREAT deal of research about vaccinations...no celebrity was ever an influencing factor. I am NOT gullible and stupid. My personal research on the issue has shown me one thing over and over again: the jury is still out on the effects of vaccines on kids. As you say..."Insulting parents of autistic children (and celebrities) has not worked to restore confidence in parents that vaccines are safe generally or that they are NEVER involved in causing autism in ANY cases even amongst children of women injected with mercury containing vaccines while they were pregnant." I might add, not just autism, but other neuro-developmental conditions.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13070297384173508509noreply@blogger.com
