Thanks for the update on 'autisim'. . .

There is no question that when the 'Government' gets involved and money is on consignment that there is a 'MO' in place for whatever is the ailment and it's proscribed solution.

The truth for me is that all vaccines, cannot 'all' be trusted - all of the time. Perhaps, better; none of the time; but just have to weigh options & probabilities here; including one's own heredity as well. (That said, do not know why we must bunch them and then overload them into babies as per the earliest of schedules.)

And something is wrong - no matter what they say and IMHO - when they want 'newborns' to receive a 'flu shot' before leaving hospital. Think these 'baby care standards' have been 'downgraded' to include and assume. . .that the child will receive the lowest level of care; because their Parents are stupid idiots. . .and abusive as well.

The other side of the coin - again - 'how many people died from bird flu last year. . .or from a mosquito in Florida or New Jersey. . .How many people really die of 'influenza' each year (?) How many died of 'flu' - irrespective of whether they had a 'flu shot'? The numbers are greatly exagerated. . .but then, no 'numbers'. . .no fear. . .no control and worst; no self-serving Government program to fix the Government's 'chicken/egg' problem.

Meantime, of course, the stats re ADD and ADHD - surely another Government fraud - is out there and off the charts. . .)

Interestingly enough, ADD and ADHD also have been a 'growth industry' because of the federal money . . . AGAIN . . . public schools get Xtra bux for every "Special Ed" kid, the kids get accommodations on test taking, etc. So those numbers just blossom.

That said, I have one child who is definitely ADHD . . . he could be the poster child, in fact. Medication was a tremendous help in grade school, but he hasn't needed it in high school as he is more mature and able to use strategies to work around his learning disabilities. And no, nobody got any Xtra $$ because he was in private school . . .

It's silly for newborns to receive immunizations -- they have mom's immunity for quite awhile, and retain some as long as they're breastfeeding. But the DPT and the polio vaccine are old as the hills and can be safely administered in the 2-8 month range. My daughter had a high temperature on the second DPT dose, but an anxious night with the Tylenol and warm sponge baths and it was over. Diphtheria and whooping cough are far, far worse . . . especially in babies under a year old. And tetanus . . . once you see the symptoms you're a dead critter, no matter your age or your species. I saw a horse die from tetanus once, no thanks.

The newer vaccines I don't know much about, since my kids are older they don't directly concern me. But it seems that the early doses of HepB vaccine are mostly recommended for babies whose mothers test positive for HepB . . . and that would seem to be QUITE sensible . . . .
