I am currently carrying my first child and there are vaccinations that my child will not be given. Does this mean that I am a parasite or that my child may still end up with Autism. Granted that there is no real proof that vaccinations cause Autism, but there HAVE been many cases where a child has suffered severly because of a reaction to a vaccination, which makes them dangerous to certain child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-85338504906112735082008-10-10T07:21:00.000-07:002008-10-10T07:21:00.000-07:00I don't have kids with autism, but I don't vaccinate my kids.

We are talking toxic levels of metals! Study what these metals do to the body. It's not hard to find the information. The TRUE information that the the drug companies try to poo-poo. Many vaccines are completely not needed. Chicken Pox vaccine - get real! The flu vaccine is never current and still has MURCURY in it. Diptheria - treatable with common antibiotics (see how many cases have been present in the US in the past 100 years), Pertussis - treatable (I know someone who had it) and the vaccine DPT is known to cause seizures and there's a link to SIDS. Hep B - puulleeeeze. What baby is going to contract Hep B? When will they be in touch with infected bodily tissue? This vax is known to cause neurological and immunological disorders (if not death). I could go on and on ... do the research yourself. Completely unnecessary vaccines are being administered to children every day. It is damaging their immune systems. If you want your child to be healthy ... build up their immune system instead of tearing it down. Breastfeed your baby for at least two years - what a huge immunity builder! Avoid sugar and processed foods. These are all known to tear down your immunity. Be a smart parent and don't fall for society's uninformed ways. Don't let them make money off of you and your children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-51732901665109411732008-10-10T05:47:00.000-07:002008-10-10T05:47:00.000-07:00My best friend's little girl has autism. No matter what people say about vaccines, she showed signs of the disorder almost form the time she was born. She is and has always been very resistant to change. She refused bottles until six months and then refused the breast as soon as she took a bottle. Which is just one example of many.<BR/><BR/>While it's possible that some cases of autism are triggered or agrivated by vaccines, mercury hasn't been in vaccines since before my friend was pregnant. So mercury can not be the cause of her autism.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, there is no cure for autism. But with proper therapies most autistic kids born will have a great chance at a normal and fulfilling life. I think we should spend less time, energy and money on vaccines and more on therapies that work!Dorothynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-4216455522806979772008-10-10T03:09:00.000-07:002008-10-10T03:09:00.000-07:00now here is a doctor on the crusade against the vaccines...who doesn't have better thing to do (treat people, for example) than to comment on celebrity news...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-20146518616165140462008-10-09T07:45:00.000-07:002008-10-09T07:45:00.000-07:00It's really frustrating how much ignorance is out there on the topic of vaccines. I am a doctor who continues to have parents tell me that their child was fine BEFORE vaccines and now is retarded, autistic, etc. There are STILL heavy metals in our vaccines- esp. the flu vacccine. (Mercury isn't the only culprit) And these metals have an affinity for brain tissue. Secondly, how could any intelligent person say that an unvacc. child will harm their vacc. child? If you BELIEVE that vaccines are effective, then you have nothing to worry about, do you? The healthiest children I see BY FAR are unvaccinated children. They don't get chronic infections, they don't have asthma, allergies, autism, ADD, etc. Please people, unless you've studied this topic extensively, don't be out there scaring or judging parents that have. The TRUTH will come out about vaccines-and the only people that will suffer are our children and that makes me very sad. We have more vaccines today and we have more sickness amongst kids than ever. Let's start being smart enough and brave enough(like Jenny) to stand up for our kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-43386583829881489632008-10-09T04:04:00.000-07:002008-10-09T04:04:00.000-07:00I can imagine why a parent would search and feel a strong need for an explanation. However, do your homework! When my first child was born I researched vaccines. I consulted numerous medical journals and studies showed no relation to autism. Not providing our children with these vaccines is going to lead us down a whole different road of illness possibly leading to death.

I think Peet meant well, but went too far. <BR/>We are exposed to so many awful things in this world. Whether it be biological or environmental. Each of us as parents have to make the best decisions for our children. <BR/>Personally I believe in immunizations. My 2 school aged children are fully immunized and my unborn child will be as well. I will take responsibility for that choice. <BR/>While I have seen Autism and it's terrible effects, I have also seen Polio and Meningitis and several other devastating diseases that could be prevented by immunizations. I believe in continued research and in immunizations.lucidluciahttp://openid.aol.com/lucidlucianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-7628102583125128802008-10-08T11:07:00.000-07:002008-10-08T11:07:00.000-07:00as a mom who has a child who had reactions to vaccines, id like to say that children who are neurologically and immunally fragile should not get vaccines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-21700331202721064722008-10-07T15:49:00.000-07:002008-10-07T15:49:00.000-07:00Amanda Peet was right, and should not have apologized. In order for vaccines to work a certain percentage of the population must participate and because vaccines do not work perfectly, getting the vaccines does not make you 100% immune. Parents who do not vaccinate put everyone else's children at risk. There is NO credible evidence linking autism to vaccines, NONE. Anyone who still believes it is purposly ignoring all the evidence so they can have something to blame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-4568101305502861512008-10-07T10:29:00.000-07:002008-10-07T10:29:00.000-07:00While I feel badly for anyone who has a child who has a disability. I do not feel that they have the right to try and force their views on everyone. No one knows what causes autisim; for a while it was believed that these children had to much yeast in their stomaches and changing their diets would "cure" them. Then it was the mercury and preservatives in vaccines. However, once these were removed more cases of autisim were diagnosed. Unfortunately, there is no answer as to what causes autisim, and these families do deserve our compasion because they do not have any easy road ahead. This however does not give Jenny McCarthy the right to try and force her views on everyone. Just as Peet should not judge someone else for those views.Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15497775558050548443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-19946225356852914922008-10-06T19:47:00.000-07:002008-10-06T19:47:00.000-07:00Personally i dont agree with jenny mccarthy's views on vaccinations. She believes that every instance of autism is due to certain vaccines, more particularly the mercury in certain ones. That could be a factor in her sons autism, because he is in the age group that received vaccines before the mercury had been removed, i believe babies born after early 2005 have been given the new vaccines. I have a nephew who is autistic, born in later 2005, recieved the new vaccines without the mercury. SO all i have to say now is why would she (mccarthy) still believe she is right in all that bull about not vaccinating children?<BR/>I dont quite agree with Peet either but shes more right than McCarthy.Ashleysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312142.post-69290793630095705912008-10-06T18:05:00.000-07:002008-10-06T18:05:00.000-07:00I personally have not had to deal with autism in my family. I do not understand why Peet had to make such a harsh comment, about having someone (McCarthy) question our vaccines. We are told they are good for us so we give them to our kids &amp; don&#39;t give it a second thought, why not?. I say let anyone willing to put their passion into questioning the betterment of our health do so as long as they do it for the right reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
