CDC Senior Scientist William Thompson has alleged that a 2004 study he co-authored omitted key data that would have revealed a link between autism and a commonly-required childhood vaccine, MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella).
I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism, said Thompson in a statement issued through his attorney Wednesday.

Death from various, and in some cases unknown, causes has been reported rarely following
vaccination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines; however, a causal relationship has not been
established in healthy individuals (see CONTRAINDICATIONS). No deaths or permanent sequelae were
reported in a published post-marketing surveillance study in Finland involving 1.5 million children and
adults who were vaccinated with M-M-R II during 1982 to 1993.{60}
Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, health-care providers and manufacturers
are required to record and report certain suspected adverse events occurring within specific time periods
after vaccination. However, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has established
a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) which will accept all reports of suspected
events.{49} A VAERS report form as well as information regarding reporting requirements can be
obtained by calling VAERS 1-800-822-7967.
“These parents would disagree with you.”
The parents of 300 million people, who if uninnoculated by the measles vaccine alone would have represented 660,000 souls lost through measles alone are thankful for the vaccine.
So you have 57 deaths versus 660,000
Which number is higher?
Vaccinate your kids. Don’t be stupid.
“The vaccine is much worse than the disease.”
The numbers say otherwise. You are simply wrong.
No.
Thanks for your concern about my kid.
Back to the topic of the gov not being honest in their reporting.
What numbers, the ones you make up in your head? Care to cite them?
ASD is 1-in-68. Do you really think measles, mumps and rubella were ever this prevalent? Their rates were measured by the 10s per 100,000 -far lower than the 1500 per 100,000 rate of ASD. And did these diseases leave their victims brain damaged?

As for the effects of vaccines, excluding small pox and diphtheria, disease infection rates were reduced through improvements in public sanitation and hygiene rather than introduction of a vaccine.

2.2 per 1000:
http://www.medicinenet.com/measles_rubeola/page9.htm#what_is_the_prognosis_for_measles
Your charts mask important statistics like this:
“a resurgence of measles occurred during 19891991, again demonstrating the serious medical burden of the disease. More than 55,000 cases, 123 deaths, and 11,000 hospitalizations were reported [7]. Two major causes of this epidemic were vaccine failure among a small percentage of school-aged children who had received 1 dose of measles vaccine and low measles vaccine coverage among preschool-aged children.”
(from here: http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/189/Supplement_1/S1.long
)
This represents 2.2 deaths per 1000 cases
20% of measles cases required hospitalization in that outbreak.
I presume you do not dispute the highly contagious nature of measles.
What happens when 1,000,000 kids get it because they listened to you and were left unvaccinated? Well you can count on the death rate being much higher than 2.2/1000 - because the hospitals would be overwhelmed, but disregarding that, it would be 22,000 kids dead - preventable.
So you show a profound ignorance of disease, and these statistics mask significant outbreaks that killed children in large numbers in the US.
Why not plot measles vaccine deaths per 100,000 along with this? Because that is a vanishingly small number.
“What numbers, the ones you make up in your head? Care to cite them?”
Seriously, why do you post deliberately misleading charts like this?
You are communicating “Zero deaths from Measles” with this charts, which is simply untrue. The death rate is 2.2 per 1000 cases.
Ignorance is one thing, but willful ignorance with intent to kill children is an entirely different one.
What I don’t understand yet is if you truly WANT to kill children or if it is simply a by-product of your ignorance.
Either way, you have been informed now. If you choose to not vaccinate YOUR kids, that is up to you (and unfortunate for them - unvaccinated illegals are here in great numbers)
If you continue to spread misinformation - such as that in the charts you posted - the only conclusion one can come to is that you put ego in front of preventing death of children - that makes you (and others who join you in your death jihad against vaccines) at best a bad person and very likely evil.
I don’t know how you live with yourselves.
“What happens when 1,000,000 kids get it because they listened to you and were left unvaccinated?”
What are you talking about? Why the hyperbole? This is nonsense. School age children -where the outbreaks occurred, are required to have measles vaccinations. No shot record, no school. Same with day care. I said (wrote) nothing about school kids not being vaccinated. I said infants.
We vaccinated our daughter at 4 1/2 right before she started Pre-K. Before that she stayed home. No daycare. She’s a bright and joyous girl. She has no disabilities, behavioral issues or food intolerances unlike many of her friends.
“What are you talking about? Why the hyperbole? This is nonsense”
Your charts mask actual verifiable data of measles outbreaks and give a false sense of “no problem to skip vaccinations” to people that look at them and do not realize that you are posting them to deliberately mislead them, which is exactly what you were doing.
Hyperbole indeed - from your own charts.
