CDC RESPONSE TO DAVID KIRBY ON AJC

The Atlanta Journal Constitution ran an online opinion piece refuting David Kirby's powerful piece (HERE) from last week.  You can comment on the AJC blog again HERE.  Hurry before they close comments.

"Autism claim shouldn't deter parents"

By ANNE SCHUCHAT

Published on: 03/26/08

David Kirby's March 20 opinion column, "Give Us Answers on Vaccines," misinterpreted available information about a case before the National Vaccine Injury Compensation program and may have parents wondering what is best for their child when it comes to immunizations. That is unfortunate, given that our nation's childhood vaccines are very safe and are proven to protect and save lives.

I have noticed several blog posters claiming to be doctors,nurses or medical specialists,many post annonymously or with initials. I can play that game to,perhaps we should all be given honorary expert degrees from Age of austism academy so we can be experts as well.
My postings might look like this: as a world renown vaccine expert I am 100% convinced from the mountains of evidence I have reviewed and the hundreds of my fellow peers that I have consulted with that autism is the result of dirty vaccines.:)

Very interesting. Parents who fully vaccinated their children = anti-vaccine nutcases. Why? Because they question blatant, medically documented, vaccine reactions - now confirmed through the department of Health and Human Services in the Poling Concession?

One walk through an elementary school and witnessing hallways littered with adaptive equipment for the 1:5 with neuro-disorders (CDC’s own numbers not Munchausens)should be enough to scare the hell out of the polio generation. That’s a lot of sick kids!

Vaccines are not a panacea. We got 8 as a child and survived. They do not even guarantee immunity, this is validated in the titers blood test routinely given to health care workers and other professionals that require regular testing.

The last Mumps and Chicken Pox outbreaks were vaccinated populations. The last Minnesota Amish Polio outbreak was traced to the dreaded oral polio vaccine, still encouraged in 3rd world countries today. (The vaccinated foreigner actually infected the poor little US Amish child with contaminated polio fecal matter shed in a hospital setting.) The first Roto-virus vaccine caused bowel blockage that killed children, so now they are reintroducing in a live virus form. I was at the CDC/ACIP meeting as the Vaccine maker presented from the podium on the new Roto-virus vaccine and laughed of diaper risks from the live vaccine shedding in fecal matter. There would not be a Vaccine Court with a super fund if vaccines were infallible.

Get your head out of the sand and attend the CDC’s ACIP(Vaccine Advisory Panel)Meeting. This agency is the distribution,marketing arm of the pharmaceutical industry. No agency that promotes vaccines can effectively regulate them.

Worse yet, they have to resort to PR scams and strong arm tactics to make their case. The public is quickly losing confidence.

Every wise parent should educate themselves on inserts, ingredients and adverse affects before they offer up their children to an unchecked, unregulated,indemnified, CDC backed, vaccine industry. Georgia and many other States provide a waiver so you can vaccinate or not vaccinate as you choose. This are readily accepted at schools but rarely mentioned by health care providers profiting from vaccines.

All others who wish to live under restrictive government oppression are free to immigrate to Tibet.

Moooo..... feel like sh#$!

Very little new meat in their response. The lies just keep getting deeper and deeper. The General public will soon hear our roar!

I just saw Autism the Musical tonight... Cried most of the way through it. They mentioned Autism and vaccines about three or four times. It will be interesting to hear the CDC response to such a powerful piece. To see our lives on film really hits home.

I posted, too, but we need to keep all of our voices out there.

While there is certainly anger, fear, and yes--contempt for us--other things are happening too, as people struggle with a truth that some are just beginning to see.

So many of us, apparently, began to believe we could live in a world without even the tiniest contagious disease ever touching us--not even the chicken pox or the flu would slow us down (I bet the vaccine for the common cold is somewhere in the pipeline)--and all we had to do was shut our eyes and ears as the casualties mounted.

But the casualties, the kids and families who are hurting, are just everywhere now.

Let's keep talking.

I believe we can get past the fear and the anger, and begin to reach more parents who simply want what's best for their children. Even if it turns out to be more complicated than, "You can trust me--I'm your doctor."

We will NOT BACK DOWN. We will NOT SHUT UP.

OK, I posted comments to the AJC's publication of the CDC's mendacious opinion piece today. There is no science in their opinion piece; and they admit to only now doing major research on causes of the growing, epidemic numbers of autism cases. While there are many causes, and one causation will not fit all, those severely disabled appear to suffer from the increased number of vaccinations now demanded in the CDC's vaccine schedule. Many are given too early in a child's maturation. In other words, a baby's body with it's brain and bodily systems still growing into maturation can only handle so much. And that amount is much less than a healthy teen or adult can endure without bad effects. The CDC and the drug companies are asking too much, for too little payback; plus they won't pay for damages lasting a lifetime. Indeed, they consider it collateral damage for the greater good of 'herd' immunization. How does it feel to be part of the herd?

absolutely pathetic! If they were so concerned with what parents think, do you think that perhaps they would have conducted the vax vs. unvaxxed study years ago? Or perhaps they may have treated the Simpsonwood cover-up a bit differently? they should all be fired and jailed and Bush, Frist and Hastert should be their prison bitches!
