[Nicky's mom]

My son Nicholas was born Dec. 17, 2007 weighing a hefty 8lbs. 14.7oz. He was a happy baby, very alert and full of life.

On March 5, 2008 my son passed away in his sleep at daycare. Some individuals have discussed "SIDS" or vaccinations as a possible cause.

Two days prior to my son's death, he had the following vaccinations: Dtap/DT, IPV, Hib, Hepatitis B (his second round, he received his 1st shot after he was born), Pneumococcal Conj, and Rotateq. The day of his vaccinations we agreed to vaccinate because we did not know we had the choice to say no. Plain and simply... my son was over vaccinated.

Several cases have been documented of babies passing away within a few hours, days or weeks after taking multiple vaccinations or dual vaccinations combined in one syringe. Listed are a few links to get you started on making an informed decision?

a) www.thinktwice.com - This web site has comments from others who have experienced or know others that have had vaccine reactions.

b) www.cdc.gov

The Center for Disease Control had a recall on certain lots of the HIB vaccine.

The National Vaccine Information Center lists the following questions to ask yourself if you vaccinate.

1. Is my child sick right now?
2. Has my child had a bad reaction to a vaccination before?
3. Does my child have a personal or family history:
· Vaccine reactions
· Convulsions or neurological disorders
· severe allergies
· Immune system disorders
4. Do I know if my child is at high risk of reacting?
5. Do I know how to identify a vaccine reaction?
6. Do I know how to report a vaccine reaction?
7. Do I know the vaccine manufacturer’s name and lot number?
8. Do I know I HAVE A CHOICE?

In order to find how to obtain an exemption form go to:
http://vaccineinfo.net/exemptions/index.shtml

I read in another article that Japan has raised the age of vaccinations to 2 years of age and have had a 50% decrease in SIDS. So why do we still vaccinate our BABIES.

Sincerely,

Nicky's mom

Miriam,

Stand up for your rights as a parent. No one can force you to vaccinate your child. The flu shot is especially useless.

You can get a religious exemption if not a medical one.

If anyone starts to give you grief, tell them you'll sue, get a lawyer, and have the lawyer send them a letter stating your rights and that you're prepared to sue.

You'll never hear anything else about it.

Terri

I think Jenny was amazing on Larry King. I am a social worker in a public school and the increase in children being classified as autistic is staggering. As a parent, I have immunized my child and Thank God she has not had any complications from this. However, in my state, it will not be manditory to give pre-school aged children the flu shot. I am extremely against this policy. My daughter has never had a flu shot, nor has she had the flu. I am wondering if anyone here knows of a way that I can get excused from having to give her this shot. I asked her pediatrician but he won't write a note excusing her since she's not allergic to eggs. Please help!

"Either way, I am thankful for it. Funny, 2 1/2 yrs ago when Jade was dx'd, there was NO media coverage, ha, before the dx, I thought autism was VERY rare."

It seemed so rare just a couple of years back and the only way to find information was on the internet, where most of the searches went to quackwatch sites or to professional "skeptics". CNN stories? no way. Oprah? forget it. Anything but BS? no luck. Every day seems to bring surprises, so it's even hard to complain when some reporters get it wrong, since who knows what person will get it right the next day.

So when is HBOT and DAN doctor visits covered by insurance, damn it. I might actually be able to hold my breath for that one pretty soon if thing keep moving forward.

I've been keeping track since about 8:00 AM here http://tinyurl.com/2s2o25
24 drug company ads
21 minutes and 30 seconds about autism
7 times that we were told about a parachute that did not belong to D.B. Cooper
1 time that the word "thimerosal" was used

[Autism mom]

Jenny please would you tell the AAP that they might want to take a look at the Dr. Donald Miller's vaccine schedule where he says:

http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller15.html

"In summary, this is a vaccination schedule that I would recommend:

No vaccinations until a child is two years old.
No vaccines that contain thimerosal (mercury).
No live virus vaccines (except for smallpox, should it recur).
These vaccines, to be given one at a time, every six months, beginning at age 2:
Pertussis (acellular, not whole cell)
Diphtheria
Tetanus
Polio (the Salk vaccine, cultured in human cells)

American children are the most highly vaccinated kids in the world. This schedule is an alternative to the one that rules our "vaccine nation" (as the Village Voice terms it). In contrast to the CDC’s immunization schedule, it is user-friendly."

If there continues to be autism even after the implementation of this schedule (barring a few maybe mito type or other exceptions) THEN we shall rest our case. Not before.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for going out there and talking non-stop about this. Eternally grateful for that.

I watched for a few minutes then Simon Baron-Cohen appeared...bye bye.

Looking forward to Larry and Jenny. If David shows up, icing on the cake!

[nhokkanen]

I am so looking forward to seeing David Kirby and Jenny McCarthy bringing facts and insight to the vaccine safety issue on Larry King Live. What perfect representatives of our children's community, with their abundant intelligence, wit, experience and charisma.

I hope America finally realizes they must judge the CDC not only by what it's done -- twisting epidemiology and pushing obfuscation -- but also by what it's not done. Systematic denial? Hardly the priority of an agency charged with protecting children's health.

Let the backpedaling begin.

[Monica]

Does it seem that they have more commercials concerning the autism coverage than the actual coverage itself? Ugh...

Either way, I am thankful for it. Funny, 2 1/2 yrs ago when Jade was dx'd, there was NO media coverage, ha, before the dx, I thought autism was VERY rare.

[Katie Wright]

Way to go Jenny!!! You will be terrific. Finally a voice for our kids on CNN!!! There is NO question you and David cannot answer. I- almost- feel sorry for the AAP rep, he probably has no idea who he will be up against. I hope he understands that he would be far better off listening and learning than trying to tell us about autism. The AAP and the CDC have had decades of opportunities to confront autism and the autism epidemic is the result of their inaction. Gerberding cannot put on a pink sweater and talk about how "sad" it is that the vaccine discussion prevents us from uncovering the real cause of autism, no one is buying what she is selling. The AAP can continue to stand in lock step with the CDC in their "hunt for the real killers" OJ style, or they can join reality and start listening to our families. Thanks for making history Jenny and David!!

[Lisa]

Happy Autism Awareness day.

Do I get you a card?

Do I send you flowers?

Do I call you joyfully to say HAPPY AUTISM DAY!”?

Do I put a sign in my yard to wish everyone HAPPY AUTISM DAY?

No. I think of the kids.

Another day passes.

And pray for answers for all of them.

I reflect because some children are struggling. Some children are hurting.

Some children need us beyond words to ACT

GO JENNY MCCARTHY. CHANGE THE WORLD.

AUTISM IS TREATABLE. THANK YOU BERNIE RIMLAND!

Change the paradigm. Change the world.

[momtodavon]

I hope Jenny asks the rep. from the AAP to talk about them agreeing to work with DAN, and to remind the puplic that she is speaking for all people not just kids with autism when she is asking the Government to take a commen sense look at injecting toxins into your body and at what cost, EX: Getting your flu shot each year may or may not ward away the flu but puts you at a MUCH higher risk for an immune system disorder.
Hopefully she stays calm and just ask the questions that are zingers and let them answer.
Like: is there still "trace" amounts of MERCURY in vaccines given to babies in the reccomended vaccine schedule still today- yes or no

And please David Kirby be our HERO and send in those zingers about simpsonwood, and about the only research done on Thimerisol. People are watching and we have their attention we need someone to put the bug in people ears about how corrupt the cover up of all this has been!

[biomedmama7]

It's 10:30 now and it's already TOO MUCH for me. I keep hoping for something truthful and meaty and all I've seen/heard so far is half-truths and outright lies. I will tune in tonight for Jenny and David on LKL, but as of now, I am changing the channel.

If something honest and significant is reported, could someone please send me an E?

[Monica]

All day CNN will be covering autism, which I am sure you all know. My husband just told me some jerk-off was just on who blathered on about "it's all genetics" "no connection to vaccines" and how us parents filing claims for our vaccine injured children are wasting tax payer's dollars!!!

Is 9 am too early for tequila?

[Jeanne]

Should be interesting! I hope Mr. Kirby shows up.
