I am as sure as I can be, mostly just a gut feeling but boosted by every doctors reaction when I asked the question, about the guardasil (sp?) shot my daughter got back when they first started those for HPV was what caused her son to be born with gastroschisis a few short years later.
That is a birth defect where the bowels do not go inside the body when they are supposed to... I think it was about 4 months into pregnancy that she was informed he had this defect. He was born over 2 months early when his bowels turned septic and put both their lives in danger. They took him via C-Section and he went straight to surgery to put them back inside, but by the time they cut off what was septic, he only had 8cm of bowel left...
He finally got a transplant 1 year ago that failed and he has recovered strong again and now back on transplant list... he getting ready to turn 6 now, but been a crazy life, in and out of the hospital more times than I can count.
It is an epidemic that has exploded since about the same time they started giving those shots. Each time I mentioned it to a Dr. they reacted like oh that is a good question, I will have to look into it and then never mentioned it again... If I happened to see them and asked again, it was brushed off and look away saying oh there is no evidence for that.
I’m so sorry that happened to your grandson. I have not heard of this particular reaction, but Gardasil has been implicated in many deaths of teenagers having received that vaccine.
When we were growing up we got just a few vaccines. Now I think the count is up to 70 for a child by the time they receive all of the recommended ones. And the pressure parents get is unbelievable. One pediatrics group here will discharge your child from their practice if you don’t vaccinate.
RE: Vaccinations - My Thoughts
When I was a kid, there was just the DPT and smallpox vaccines. In 1954, the elementary schools had a voluntary vaccine for polio.
This was an experimental vaccine and parents had to send in a permission slip. I was inoculated.
Many baby boomers who were inoculated starting with the following year, received contaminated vaccine with RV40 Virus.
Prior to this, cancer rate was 1 in 8000. Now it is 1 in 3. The Institute of Medicine recently concluded that the biological evidence is of moderate strength that SV40 exposure could lead to cancer in humans under natural conditions.

CDC finally admitted that the polio vaccine was contaminated by SV40 virus given by injection in 1955-1963:
Thimerisol - currently used in MMR vaccines is a toxin:

PHARMA companies can not be sued. HHS was supposed to be performing testing to insure safety - According to findings in recent lawsuit by RFKjr, HHS has not been meeting its obligations.
The 1986 Act set up a vaccine court. Two out of 5 of the cases brought have been decided in favor of the patients/plaintiffs for damages due to vaccines.
If I had young children today, I would not inoculate them as fast as the schedule, and I would not let them use huge combos of several vaccines, other than the DTaP. If the state law doesnt require a vaccination for school, I would research it before deciding to do it.
If the Vaccine industry could be sued, there would be an incentive to make sure the vaccines were safe. Other pharmaseuticals have to go through years of testing before being authorized. Vaccines do not have those same stringent standards.
There is a lot more that a person can learn which raises a lot of red flags. So I personally dont believe it is a cut and dried issue. Caution is not a bad thing. Researching and deciding what risks to take for your child - thats a parental right.
Limits to those rights for life threatening illnesses is one thing, for child hood diseases that are not life threatening is another.

Heres a recent post/plea for prayers here on FR by just Amy:
First a little history .... The last week of November, Richie received several vaccines which included the flu vaccine.
On December 2nd, he was hospitalized with paralysis of his arms and legs. He was put on a respirator and the outlook was bleak. I posted a note on FB asking for prayers from family and friends.
Link to the thread telling Richies story and status. Read it and weep. Then pray for Richies recovery and strength for his family.
