Vaccine Cleared Again as Autism Culprit
NY Times ^ | August 25, 2011 | GARDINER HARRIS

Posted on 08/27/2011 2:07:53 PM PDT by neverdem

Yet another panel of scientists has found no evidence that a popular vaccine causes autism. But despite the scientists’ best efforts, their report is unlikely to have any impact on the frustrating debate about the safety of these crucial medicines.

“The M.M.R. vaccine doesn’t cause autism, and the evidence is overwhelming that it doesn’t,” Dr. Ellen Wright Clayton, the chairwoman ...

--snip--

The panel did conclude, however, that there are risks to getting the chickenpox vaccine that can arise years after vaccination. People who have had the vaccine can develop pneumonia, meningitis or hepatitis years later if the virus used in the vaccine reawakens because an unrelated health problem, like cancer, has compromised their immune systems.

The same problems are far more likely in patients who are infected naturally at some point in their lives with chickenpox, since varicella zoster, the virus that causes chickenpox, can live dormant in nerve cells for decades...

--snip--

For instance, recent studies have found that many of the children who suffered seizures and lifelong problems after receiving the whole-cell pertussis vaccine, which is no longer used but once routinely caused fevers in children, actually had Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. The flood of lawsuits over the effects of the whole-cell pertussis vaccine was the reason Congress created the national vaccine injury compensation program in the first place, and children who suffered seizures after getting this vaccine have been among the most well-compensated...

I think Autism is caused by Florescent lighting .. look at the time .... correlates beautifully with schools changing to Florescent Lighting

I noticed that people’s Autism symptoms are reduced when they are outside in natural lighting.

There are people who are convinced that vaccines cause autism. Nothing will ever change their minds.

I think many of the autism cases are nothing more than and assault on "imperfect children. The ADT children are "imperfect", too.

I think we have to look and look again....What is a perfect child...not shy, not too outgoing, sits still or wiggles, too short, too tall, too skinny, too fat....

I think we have to get back to; "Let's get serious....Normal has the biggest span....we've reduced it to a mean....it is not.

With those complications, it sure sounds like they are using a live, attenuated varicella vaccine.

It’s no longer autism, but autism spectrum and just about anything fits under that umbrella.

I don’t remember ever hearing about autism growing up and I certainly didn’t know any autistic children. I have always wondered where autism came from.

Many of those ADD cases would vanish immediately if the parents would give Johnny a good swat on the buttocks.

I absolutely agree.

I saw a puppy on Ritalin...saddest thing I ever saw...the puppy brother was scooting around....LIKE A DOG. The ritalin puppy was laying motionless on the owner's lap...like a stuffed toy. It was just awful.

An autism spectrum diagnosis turns on the money faucet.

I assume you're referring to the hyperactive ADHD children. The inattentive ones won't be helped by a good swat on the buttocks, in fact, it would probably make things worse.

A coworker and I were discussing this yesterday, she suspects genetically modified foods may be the culprit for Autism. Her daughter has MS at the age of 27. They are experimenting with nutrition using only organic foods. She also suspects “leaky gut” syndrome to be one of the causes of MS. Some of the MS medications have very scarey side effects.

Sunlight creates beneficial nutrients for the body to fight toxins in the body and create normal cell function. In fact, sunlight is essential for normal development. It is true that with people inside more and more and using sunscreens (which have toxins) that there is a correlation there also.

Autism and Mercury poisoning have the exact same symptoms—you can’t tell the two apart, which is curious.

The Autism rates skyrocketed (virtually unheard of in the 70’s) with the advent of a massive spike in vaccinations for young children at younger and younger ages. The fact is that the young are much more likely to be affected by toxins. All vaccinations have known toxins in them (and made by who knows who and we can trust FDA and Gates and Marxists not to sterilize the masses).

Babies have no brain barrier—which prevents toxins from entering the brain and yet every Hep B vaccination has known toxins and are given at birth—should be a crime to inject toxins into healthy infants when no danger of getting disease except through promiscuous sex or drug injections. I would put any pediatricians in jail for advocating such idiocy and would switch doctors for such irrational thinking.

Believing any studies done by Crony Capitalism—is the same as believing all the Lancet peer-reviewed “scientific” articles and Hockey Stick graphs proving Global Warming-—it is ALL junk science.

If you believe anything you hear put out by MSM, you are ignorant. They have an agenda, and it only allows one way to think (the one that leads to total serfdom where all faith is eliminated except faith in what government says). All media and corporation studies are controlled—they only allow studies which prove their thesis—that vaccinations are safe (although they admit they are filled with toxins). That is sensible—inject toxins and think there is no reaction in a healthy child to toxins?????

MSM will destroy anyone who tries to say vaccinations are not safe. Those Ph.D’s will never be allowed to get grants or teach, etc. Such destruction of the freedom of speech and ideas should be EXTREMELY troubling. Where are the debates?????

Sure other things may be working to cause Autism. But the fact is....children are being overloaded with toxins where their body just shuts down. Vaccinations are a source of some toxins....that can’t be denied. Increase the age of the vaccinations when the child’s body can efficiently eliminate toxins.—Then again....multiple shots at once injects much more toxins.

My husband claimed to have that. It sounds so much better than, "I'm too self-absorbed to pay attention to anything except what I want to at any given time."

“Her daughter has MS at the age of 27.”

Has she read about Vitamin D? Some research has shown promise for MS patients with Vit. D.
