Thank you Amon...very well said. One thing that keeps being repeated..Dr. Wakefield being paid by the lawyers...OMG...does anyone realize what the pharma company pay's out for research/science to be in their favor? For the FDA to pass medicine/vaccines with very little research? All proven to be passed as safe..yet, only after it injures and kills is it removed. This is the game of pharma..lobbying and big bucks flow..just get the government to protect from liability. To act as one man didn't report an income, let's look at the complete medical field..doctor's included. Dr. Wakefield is a victim of medical politics..no matter how you spit it out.He was looking for a treatment to help the children..not harm them. If he did research and proved something to help them and if he also researched and found a better MMR or what caused the bowel problems..he is the better man. Stepping on toes hurt the pharma's ego. The only reason, in my opinion, Dr. Wakefield may have found a cure for some children and as the medical field stands, cures are not found for many illness or disease. Wonder why?????? Is this the piece of the puzzle missing in autism?
Jennifer, I sure would like to know where you got your info on Dr. Wakefield. I have been an advocate for children injured by vaccines for many years..and my Grandson's doctor, Dr. Jeff Bradstreet in Melbourne, FL at the Autism Research knows Dr. Wakwfield very well. Both doctor's have faced malicious talk from the 'experts'. Research done by pharma and gov't researchers is considered 'good research'. Any research done outside of the click is considered ' junk science'. Is something wrong with this picture? I know why..but do you know? If. Dr. Wakefield knew 'something' about the MMR causing the measle virus not to excrete from some children, causing bowel and intestinal problem's and autism symptoms..does he not have the right to correct this and research a better vaccine? (If he did as you say). Reason I advocate on this MMR issue..my Grandson did not excrete the measle virus and mercury. Many test's done have proven this fact. Measle virus was very high with some less mercury (MMR does not have any mercury) Diagnosed as severe autism did not set well with our family..using an equity loan we went for the seed that caused this horrible autism. We found it..but the expert's want to say it was junk science. Who is right?... I want to see the actual research the 'experts' have to prove their point..and other 'experts' we know will also see them. Until than..
Speaking of Andrew Wakefield in the UK report's on MMR. Have you really read up on the real facts of Mr. Deer who wrote and published articles that Wakefield's study/research was false? Fact's now are Mr. Deer. along with other in the UK Health Dept..and a Judge.. who's son or nephew headed the vaccine department in the UK government. Mr. Deer was paid to cause Mr. Wakefield to be blackballed from medicine..it's called medical politics. The truth was not to be allowed as it would collaspe the vaccine program. Other studies from various other government health agencies were false...along with the UK government corrupt. Greed..the fear of the public knowing about the real facts needed to be kept under sealed documents. These are the sealed documents that were/are needed in the U. S. Federal Autism Court that lawyers for injured children tried UK to send and they refused. Hmmmm
Hi Emily...You mention vaccines in the 70's and I must say from my experience of the DTP vaccine ( October 1975) the whooping cough (P) vaccine was a nightmare to my husband and I. Our 2 month daughter went for the first baby check up..she received the first series of vaccines and within 6 hours she was a very sick baby. Diagnosed as whooping cough..we were told she may have some brain damage or may not survive being so young. Three months later we had her back to a normal baby.. so anyone since that time ask's me what I think of vaccines I certainly speak my thoughts. Also read the history of that vaccine..half cell..whole cell..either way it sucked. So why would vaccines be any different today? They screwed up than and denied it for years before a 'fix it job was done' to correct this vaccine that harmed, injured and killed babies. This was world wide..not just in this country. No thanks..I don't believe the truth has yet to be said of the issue's of today's autism. Verbal talk of experts just flies over my head with the wind.
