Date: 2011-01-08 01:05 pm (UTC)I suppose it was because they only heard "vaccines are the cause of autism!", never mind the theory. And never mind that he was actually developing his own vaccine.
*Not so much nowadays, now that (ethyl) mercury has been removed from practically all vaccines. Now, it's "too much too soon" and "it's all due to the OTHER evil toxins in vaccines".

Not here, not now.

Date: 2011-01-08 11:28 pm (UTC)I've seen dozens of overnight transformations of children after receiving vaccines. Severe reactions, ranging from lymph nodes the size of tennis balls on small 2yr olds, to children sleeping 2-3 days at a time, unable to be woken with fevers exceeding 105F.
Let's not forget that natural immunity often lasts a lifetime, whereas vaccine immunity needs to be updated every 5-10 years. How many adults do you know in the US receive their booster vaccines that often? Not only that, but some people can reject the vaccine immunity, and never have their titres checked, therefore never know whether or not it's actually provided immunity.

Date: 2011-02-27 02:33 am (UTC)No it doesn't. Immunity to pertussis lasts 3-5 years, less than you get from the vaccine, for one example. This is just another bullshit "talking point" from people who are bent on demonizing vaccines and don't care about the actual immunology.

Date: 2011-01-09 07:38 am (UTC)A series of tests by the Royal Hospital For Sick Children [Edinburgh] Spectrum Team eventually revealed a chromosome deficiency traced back to mums father. They were fascinated, having never seen that specific mutation before, or since. UNfortunately I don't know anywhere near as much about this as I should, cos we decided it didn't matter. She's probably Fragile X. We refused to medicate her. If she decides she want's to try it later in life, we'll support her decision. We wanted to know our real daughter, not the daughter pills would give us.
The MMR jab, as far as anyone can tell, made no difference whatsoever.
and for the record, daughter is fucking perfect.
