Still at it? You were trying to scare people about MMR two years ago! And STILL Wakefield hasn't been able to reproduce his results.

Scientists have found new evidence to support fears that the MMR vaccine is causing children to develop autism and bowel disease, The Telegraph can reveal today.

Specialists from Trinity College, Dublin, have detected the strain of measles virus used in the MMR jab in tissue samples from the inflamed intestines of 12 children, who each developed autism after receiving the injection.

The results will add further weight to claims that MMR may be responsible for a rapid rise in autism in children over the past decade.

Prof. O'Leary's results have been made public in a précis of a scientific presentation released ahead of a meeting of the Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland next month. It was greeted with alarm by parents last night.

Look like someone forgot to ask Dr. O'Leary's opinion about all this. From this article:

    On 2 July 2002, however, Professor O'Leary rejected Dr Wakefield's interpretation of his work, insisting that it 'in no way establishes any link between the MMR vaccine and autism' (1). Indeed, he strongly recommended that parents should give their children MMR. O'Leary's judgement echoed that of other experts who had earlier dismissed Wakefield's claims for this research to the congressional committee in Washington. The first piece of evidence promising some support to the hypothesis advanced by Dr Wakefield in 1998 was thus discredited even before publication.

    Though Professor O'Leary himself denied that his work gave any support to the case against MMR, in the weeks leading up to the July Dublin meeting it was widely cited by anti-MMR campaigners. Throughout June 2002, reports of the impending publication of this research provided a major publicity boost to a campaign that had flagged since the Christmas 2001 furore over whether Tony Blair's son Leo had had his MMR jab (a period in which the uptake of MMR had shown signs of recovery). The hype surrounding the O'Leary paper reveals much about the modus operandi of the campaign and its leading figure, Dr Wakefield.

OOOPS!

However, as thiomersal contains mercury, both European and American regulatory authorities have recommended that vaccine manufacturers should phase out their use of thiomersal wherever possible, as a precaution. They have not recommended withdrawing any individual vaccines currently in use.

The above is from the post by bonesmccoy. Mercury is a neurotoxin. The vaccine manufacturers know this. They still do not want to get rid of it because it costs them a few bucks. No wonder the Japanese prefer measles to the risk of cognitive damage to otherwise perfect babies.

I read your article and it has no merit.

A while ago, in this area, there was an outbreak of whooping cough. I knew many mothers who vaccinated their children and these children got whooping cough. I knew many mothers who because of religious reasons did not vaccinate their children against whooping cough. These children in the same area, going to the same schools did not come down with whooping cough.

The big lie is that these vaccinations actually protect against the disease. They don't. No where in that article do they say that those who were not innoculated against measles were the ones that got the disease.

We have pro-choice in so many things, why not vaccination. If the vaccine is so good, people will choose it on its own merits. The fact of the matter is that it is worse than the disease. Autism is a living death, in many cases.
