The autism scare is junk science worthy of the Al Gore global warming baloney.
Brought to you by people who make money selling books and suing companies.
I will not get into a substantive debate on the Internet; it is futile.
I will say I am a MENSA member, MIT and Texas A&M graduate, and successful businessman, extreme conservative, and after much study and review came to the conclusion that anyone who does not vaccinate their children is an idiot.
Never again.
We have a number of investigations in our state (NJ) about some doctors being on a separate pay arrangement with the pharmaceutical companies to promote many programs and refer too.
So, I’m not sure if it is doctors, per say, wanting all of those shots.
Like a said, the author of this article does have valid points. But, I would like to see equal pressure put on the pharmaceuticals as well.
In fact my son came down with mono- lasted less than a WEEK! That week was over Spring Break. He is in his 2nd year of college, and has never missed a day of school due to being sick.
I like being an idiot with happy and healthy kids.
My drug of choice comes in a silver can!

My boss isn’t having his new daughter vaccinated. He says it causes brain damage .... I really hope they don’t have to pick out a baby coffin and funeral clothes rather than new toys and bottles.
People do die of Chicken Pox. Persons who are immunosuppressed or sick in some other way. A normal healthy child, with no other complications won’t die of the disease if, when acquired, is appropriately care for.
However, my point is, if anything, the vaccine may have contributed to the virulence of the strain your daughter had. I’d be curious as to how soon after the vaccination your daughter became symptomatic.
Thanks for you post. At the age of ten(1946)I had 2 buddies age 6 & 8 who had Polio. One was in an iron lung for a year or so. The other was in a full plaster body cast for almost a year and had a bad leg the rest of his life. Their recoveries were slow and painful.
Since the Polio vaccines were effective, millions of people have completely forgotten about that terrible disease.
My two sons and two grandsons have always taken the reccomended vaccines and have never had any adverse reactions. Because there are some small percentage of sad stories (re; Don Imus)the modern liberal ideas are don’t take the shots and all will be well. That is a new form of Russian roulette.

Let’s all bow to the “Mensa member”
Thank you your highness for steering us idiots back on track.
Good luck. God loves fools, sometimes.
Hope your son doesn’t get measels while his wife is pregnant with your grandchildren . . . . or mumps before, so you have no grandchildren.
Your choice. Just wish you weren’t dangerous to the rest of us. Maybe you could go segregate yourselves somewhere to get away from the rest of us evil vaccinators. After you all die of some disease, I’ll buy the land cheap.
Yes, you should listen to your betters.
It was two and half years later. She was vaccinated at 6 and developed it at 8.
Although I do question if there aren’t other strains of the Chicken Pox that the vacccine doesn’t cover fully.
Their biggest concern was her eyesight as she got the pox blisters under her eyelids. That was the scariest part for me as a mom and the most horrific thing to see on a child.
LOL
are you always so overly dramatic?
But the pharmecutical Gods truly love you!!!!
I have a son who had the chicken pox vaccine as a toddler (about 2 yrs old). He got chicken pox at age 6 or 7. I had the vaccine as a child also. His chicken pox virus gave me shingles. Sometimes vaccines just don’t work.
I think people who don’t vaccinate their kids against dangerous diseases are stupid - I got pretty much all the vaccines, nothing bad ever happened as a result except some mild symptoms after my flu and pnuemonia shots. Granted, I didn’t get a chicken pox vaccine, either because it didn’t exist when I was that young or I got it before I would have been vaccinated (I was well under a year old), and I’m holding off on the HPV vaccine until it’s been around for longer, but otherwise I got everything and I’m perfectly healthy.
The thing I’m confused about is the college vaccines. My brother and I both got Hepatitis B shots, but only my school required a TB test, and only his school required a meningitis vaccine... I really didn’t get it.
It’s not the measles either.
This isn’t about Measles, it’s about virulent TB and Hepatitus.
That’s the other one I couldn’t remember.
Both my daughters got so sick from that shot! My oldest couldn’t move her arm for almost a week and had high fevers and vomiting. Same for the other one, but not as severe.
