One in every two babies born in the USA will be affected by autism in just 15 years if the current statistical curve continues unabated, according to a seven part docu-series! (go2.thetruthaboutvaccines.com)
Our rates of autism currently are at one in 45 children per year being written in on the autism spectrum nightmare. Even though we are the most vaccinated, we have the worst infant mortality rate, at rank #34 in world statistics for infant deaths. "The US gets the most vaccinations in the world," continues the series, narrated by Ty Bollinger. Our infants receive 26 "vaxxs" up to their first year of age and a scary 72 doses before the age of 18. By the first and second months of their fragile lives our babies receive the followingjabs: Hep B, RV, DTaP, Hib, PCV, IPV and that increases by 18 months to include a yearly influenza injection, MMR one in 3 jab, Varicella, and Hep A shots.
The popular holistic doctor, Dr. Joseph Mercola, is asking parents if the benefits of America's rigorous vaxx schedule balance the risks? He, along with many other experts and citizen researchers in this series, is urging us to take responsibility for our own children, the health of our families. Mike Adams, Health Ranger and other speakers tell parents not to be intimidated by doctors and the entire medical-industrial complex which react very strongly when parents refuse aggressive introduction of foreign substances into their child's body. One professional, Allison Folmar, said, "It's out of control; the presumption of guilt is now the burden on the parents." One study even points to black baby boys being the worst affected! "My child will never date; he will never marry, hold a job/he will need care all of his life," a mother cried in front of...

Is this the same "science" by the same scientists that claims that "climate change" is a proven fact????
From the CDC:
“Pneumococcal vaccines help protect against some of the more than 90 types of pneumococcal bacteria that contribute to the burden of pneumonia, meningitis, bacteremia, sinusitis, and otitis media.”
Start later?
Why?
Since we have demonstrated time again that there is no danger, why expose babies to dread diseases early?
If you had a serious bacterial infection that required antibiotics, would you start them now.. or wait a few years?
The whole anti-vaccination BS is exactly that, BS, and anything done in support of it is equally BS. Remember how that eminent biochemist and physician Meryl Streep told Congress that all the kids were going to die because of Alar on apples?
Great. That is one of seven. I’m glad you depend on 14% for your proofs!
Where and when did autism begin to appear at such a high rate? Something in the culture/m medicine/environment has changed. I do not remember autistic children when I was a child in the 60s.
Has it actually increased or is it just being given a diagnosis more often now? Kids that in the past would have been considered normal seem like they’re getting tagged as ADHD a lot more often now. I wonder if something similar is going on with autistic spectrum diagnoses.
Vaccines are expected to prevent issues.
One does not need vaccines for everything for which a vaccine exists. For instance, doctors in my area refuse to give Hep A, Heb B, pneumonia, and shingles to healthy adults who have no apparent risk profile. My wife has had shingles twice, and she's still to young to get the d@mn vaccine.
Why can doctors refuse vaccines to full adults, while giving everything to a baby under two months of age?
Your logic is greatly flawed.
Lots of research done on vaccines and autism if anyone is interested.
Would that included the study by the CDC that showed that African-American male children were 7x more likely to develop autism after vaccinations?
This same study that the CDC took 4 years to release after they doctored the numbers to later show no statistical risk?
You ignorant “anti-vaxxer” you. /s
there are two other problems with vaccinations as they are currently administered to the grossly immature immune systems of babies:
1. WAY too many vaccinations are given all at once. IF you feel the need to vaccinate, space them out over a long period of time.
2. Reject any vaccinations with adjuvants, which are grossly foreign additives such as aluminum salts and shark liver oil (squalene) whose sole purpose is to “irritate” the immune system to hyper-respond to deliberately weak vaccines.
remember too, that one of the main purposes of mass vaccination is not so much the protection of your own child, but the protection of the herd.
I don't think that's much of it. This is anecdotal, and why I suspect the increase in autism is real. When I started teaching in 1967, autism was very rare. My last classroom experiences were in 2013. By that point, autism was very common, even outside of special needs environments.
It might be possible that autism was best left alone, that children would on their own develop methods by which to cope with their environment. There are plenty of examples where those who probably had autism or Aspergers accomplished great things, left alone in their own ways of approaching things.
I do get your point. As a society we spend much to time labelling those who don't fit into "normal" behavioral patterns. Meanwhile "normal" keeps getting more narrowly defined. It's a recipe for disaster for a lot of children.
Yet it persists. I think people often are just attracted to narratives that place blame for misfortunes within the reach of human control.
Do you have a CDC source for that claim.... or is the tinhat claim that the CDC study shows there is no increased risk, only because someone cooked the numbers.
The Wiki article summarizes the situation very well:
The MMR vaccine controversy started with the 1998 publication of a fraudulent research paper in the medical journal The Lancet which claimed that colitis and autism spectrum disorders are linked to the combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.[1] In 2011, this paper was described as “perhaps, the most damaging medical hoax of the last 100 years”.[2] Aspects of the media coverage were criticized[by whom?] for naïve reporting and lending undue credibility to the architect of the fraud, Andrew Wakefield.
Investigations by Sunday Times journalist Brian Deer reported that Andrew Wakefield, the author of the original research paper, had multiple undeclared conflicts of interest,[3][4] had manipulated evidence,[5] and had broken other ethical codes. The Lancet paper was partially retracted in 2004, and fully retracted in 2010, when The Lancet’s editor-in-chief Richard Horton described it as “utterly false” and said that the journal had been “deceived”.[6] Wakefield was found guilty by the General Medical Council of serious professional misconduct in May 2010 and was struck off the Medical Register, meaning he could no longer practice as a doctor in the UK.[7] In 2011, Deer provided further information on Wakefield’s improper research practices to the British medical journal The BMJ, which in a signed editorial described the original paper as fraudulent.[8][9] The scientific consensus is the MMR vaccine has no link to the development of autism, and that this vaccine’s benefits greatly outweigh its risks.
Following the initial claims in 1998, multiple large epidemiological studies were undertaken. Reviews of the evidence by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,[10] the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Institute of Medicine of the US National Academy of Sciences,[11] the UK National Health Service,[12] and the Cochrane Library[13] all found no link between the MMR vaccine and autism. While the Cochrane review expressed a need for improved design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, it concluded that the evidence of the safety and effectiveness of MMR in the prevention of diseases that still carry a heavy burden of morbidity and mortality justified its global use, and that the lack of confidence in the vaccine had damaged public health.[13] A special court convened in the United States to review claims under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program rejected compensation claims from parents of autistic children.[14][15]
The claims in Wakefield’s 1998 The Lancet article were widely reported;[16] vaccination rates in the UK and Ireland dropped sharply,[17] which was followed by significantly increased incidence of measles and mumps, resulting in deaths and severe and permanent injuries.[18] Physicians, medical journals, and editors[19][20][21][22][23] have described Wakefield’s actions as fraudulent and tied them to epidemics and deaths.[24][25]
Please also note my firm’s research in support of potential litigation, as described earlier in this post.
Your wife needs another doctor!
“Get rid of wild chicken pox exposure, and one gets Shingles rates going up.”
Shingles can only be had by someone PREVIOUSLY infected by wild chicken pox exposure (or very rarely from being vaccinated for chickenpox) as Shingles is simply a re-activation from a previous infection of the Varicella Zoster virus, which lurks dormantly in nerve endings after the initial infection is tamped down.

Sorry, but it took only a little research to demonstrate that the entire “CDC Study” story is complete race-card BS.
“Origins: On 24 August 2014 a CNN iReport claiming intentional suppression of data relating to 340% increased risk of autism among specific populations of African-American boys following MMR vaccinations went viral. The story seemed to disappear mysteriously, further fueling the notion that an intentional coverup was underway.
The idea that vaccines lead to autism is not a new conspiracy theory, nor is it a particularly uncommon one. A now heavily discredited study published in the medical
journal Lancet in 1998 planted a seed of fear about vaccine safety; and despite efforts to counteract the widespread concern among worried parents, public health officials continue to encounter growing public resistance to vaccination. And the CNN iReport in question was based on a video which featured William Thompson, a senior researcher at the CDC, seemly “confessing” to anti-vaccinationist Brian Hooker about a coverup at the CDC and included material such as a claim by Dr. Andrew Wakefield (who in 1998 published a fraudulent research paper claiming a link between MMR vaccine and the appearance of autism and has since been barred from practicing medicine in the UK) asserting that the results of a study proving a link between autism and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccinations had been “hidden” by the CDC:
The claim being put forward in the video is that earlier MMR vaccination is associated with an increased risk of autism in African-American boys and that the CDC has spent the last 13 years covering this linkage up. These charges are based the result of a “reanalysis” by Brian Hooker in Translational Neurodegeneration entitled “Measles-mumps-rubella vaccination timing and autism among young african american boys: a reanalysis of CDC data.” The study which has been “reanalyzed” is from a study by DeStefano et al in 2004 published in Pediatrics entitled “Age at first measles-mumps-rubella vaccination in children with autism and school-matched control subjects: a population-based study in metropolitan Atlanta.” That study was a case-control study in which age at first MMR vaccination was compared between autistic “cases” and neurotypical controls. Vaccination data were abstracted from immunization forms required for school entry, and records of children who were born in Georgia were linked to Georgia birth certificates for information on maternal and birth factors.
The second iReport published on 22 August 2014 explicitly claimed that the CDC had been involved in an intentional coverup:
William W. Thompson, PhD, Senior Scientist with the CDC has stepped forward and admitted the 2004 paper entitled “Age at first measles-mumps-rubella vaccination in children with autism and school-matched control subjects: a population-based study in metropolitan Atlanta,” which has been used repeatedly by the CDC to deny the MMR-autism connection, was a fraud.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14754936
Dr. Thompson has admitted the 340% increase in boys receiving the MMR vaccine “on time,” as opposed to delayed, was buried by himself, Dr. DeStefano, Dr. Bhasin, Dr. Yeargin-Allsopp, and Dr. Boyle … Dr. Thompson first called and spoke with Dr. Brian Hooker, who then revealed the information to Dr. Andrew Wakefield and the Autism Media Channel.
On 27 August, Thompson released a statement via law firm Morgan Verkamp, LLC, confirming that he had spoken with Dr. Brian Hooker and that he had “omitted statistically significant information” from his study. Titled “STATEMENT OF WILLIAM W. THOMPSON, Ph.D., REGARDING THE 2004 ARTICLE EXAMINING THE POSSIBILITY OF A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MMR VACCINE AND AUTISM,” Thompson’s statement began:
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. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.
I want to be absolutely clear that I believe vaccines have saved and continue to save countless lives. I would never suggest that any parent avoid vaccinating children of any race. Vaccines prevent serious diseases, and the risks associated with their administration are vastly outweighed by their individual and societal benefits.
What got lost in the brouhaha over Dr. Thompson’s “confession,” allegations about a “cover-up” at the CDC, and threats of whistleblower lawsuits was what should have been the main point: Did collected data actually prove that the MMR vaccine produces a 340% increased risk of autism in African-American boys? The answer is no, it did not.
On 27 August 2014, Dr. Hooker’s article published in the journal Translational Neurodegeneration that concluded “African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis” was removed from public domain due to issues of conflict of interest and the questionable validity of its methods:
The Editor and Publisher regretfully retract the article as there were undeclared competing interests on the part of the author which compromised the peer review process.
Furthermore, post-publication peer review raised concerns about the validity of the methods and statistical analysis, therefore the Editors no longer have confidence in the soundness of the findings.
The CDC issued a statement regarding the data in question, with instructions for accessing the study at the center of the controversy. As the CDC noted, the authors of that study suggested that the most likely explanation for the moderate correlation between autism and vaccination in young children was the existence of immunization requirements for autistic children enrolled in special education preschool programs:
Access to the information on the birth certificates allowed researchers to assess more complete information on race as well as other important characteristics, including possible risk factors for autism such as the child’s birth weight, mother’s age, and education. This information was not available for the children without birth certificates; hence CDC study did not present data by race on black, white, or other race children from the whole study sample. It presented the results on black and white/other race children from the group with birth certificates.
The study looked at different age groups: children vaccinated by 18 months, 24 months, and 36 months. The findings revealed that vaccination between 24 and 36 months was slightly more common among children with autism, and that association was strongest among children 3-5 years of age. The authors reported this finding was most likely a result of immunization requirements for preschool special education program attendance in children with autism.
For a thorough analysis of the flaws and misinformation associated with the current CDC autism “cover-up” conspiracy theory, we recommend the posts on the subject at ScienceBlogs, which note of the claim at the heart of this matter (i.e, allegedly suppressed proof of a 340% increased risk of autism in African-American boys after MMR vaccination) that:
Vaccination data were abstracted from immunization forms required for school entry, and records of children who were born in Georgia were linked to Georgia birth certificates for information on maternal and birth factors. Basically, no significant associations were found between the age cutoffs examined and the risk of autism. I note that, even in the “reanalysis” by Brian Hooker, there still isn’t any such correlation for children who are not African American boys
So is Hooker’s result valid? Was there really a 3.36-fold increased risk for autism in African-American males who received MMR vaccination before the age of 36 months in this dataset? Hooker [performed] multiple subset analyses, which, of course, are prone to false positives. As we say, if you slice and dice the evidence more and more finely, eventually you will find apparent correlations that might or might not be real. In this case, I doubt Hooker’s correlation is real.
There’s no biologically plausible reason why there would be an effect observed in African-Americans but no other race and, more specifically than that, in African-American males. In the discussion, Hooker does a bunch of handwaving about lower vitamin D levels and the like in African American boys, but there really isn’t a biologically plausible mechanism to account for his observation, suggesting that it’s probably spurious. There are multiple other studies, many much larger than this one, that failed to find a correlation between MMR and autism.
What [Hooker] has done, apparently, is found grist for a perfect conspiracy theory to demonize the CDC, play the race card in a truly despicable fashion, and cast fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the CDC vaccination program, knowing that most of the white antivaccine activists who support [him] hate the CDC so much that they won’t notice that even Hooker’s reanalysis doesn’t support their belief that vaccines caused the autism in their children.
So when did coach become an idiot hippy tool
Thank you. I see that crap statistic posted on The Guardian and other publications all the time.
