Vaccines -> Autism study a hoax

Post Reply New Topic

I've not heard much about Dr. Wakefield but we don't vaccinate in our house and won't. I think there's an underlying genetic problem(in my family though that has nothing to do with vaccine safety) and have had very bad reactions to vaccines. Plus never developed the immunity to whatever it was I was vaccinated to(and neither did my kids). Quite frankly I think whatever this doctor claimed we shouldn't forget that there are generally rare exceptions to every rule. I'm the only person I know who got to spend a week in the hospital with Measles after my Measles vaccine b/c my immune system sucks so much that I couldn't fight off a weakened virus......I can't take live vaccines.

However flawed his study may have been and a liar he may be there may well be children out there who had hidden genetic issues that react adversely to vaccines. If this is the case he has in no way helped those children and rather has hurt them badly. I do think there are environmental factors and no way do I believe all the chemicals in the environment are harmless. Most things in excess are harmful and I quite frankly have a bit of trouble believing the FDA assurances that all those vaccines are perfectly safe together. It's not that there have been studies about it simply the fact that this same agency has had numerous recalls, has been asleep at the switch in terms of food safety, and the constant stream of commercials about certain drugs causing horrendous side effects from lawyers. It's the water report that has more chemicals then should be in the water and smells of chlorine that we still have to boil because otherwise it's not safe to drink.
