I tried to post the following to CBS but was told my '.info' email address was an invalid address:

Ms. Healy,

Please excuse my language, but just where the hell have you been for the last decade??

I am told that I should be thankful that you are speaking out the way you are, now. How grateful should I be?

You could’ve done this many years ago. No, I’m sorry, you SHOULD have done this many years ago.

Have you tried to speak out about this, but nobody would put a microphone in front of your face, up until this point in time? This is the internet age, Bernadine. There are blogs, and there have been for years. Years in which I and the parents of children with autism should have heard from you, but didn’t. Years in which children have been destroyed by the tens of thousands. Or did it just suddenly dawn on you, just now, that the crap that’s got the skull and crossbones on the bottle and has never been safety tested in vaccines and is being injected into babies at more and more frequent intervals and earlier and earlier in life just might—well duh—be dangerous?

It’s bloody well about time you said something.

Today my fourteen year old boy closed the door on the cat, as he was letting her in the house. Not hard, but it was no accident. Do you know what happens to children who’ve been picked on all of their life, for no good reason other than that they don’t chit chat with the other children on the bus? First of all let me say that I don’t give a rat’s rear end what your books have to say about the matter. Let me explain to you what REALLY happens.

First, they are told to ignore their classmates. They are told this by well meaning parents, and by educators who get paid to say it, and then by medical counselors who get paid exceedingly well to give them this bit of oh so sage advice but then have nothing further to offer. “Ignore it, they will stop eventually.” This is all well and good when the abuse is merely verbal. What the well paid medical professionals neglect to make clear to students being bullied but that the parents don’t, is to explain to the child that if the nasty little ‘neurologically typical’ brats ever lay so much as one finger on them, that this is not ever to be ignored. Guess what happens to a child who ignores the verbal abuse after being given the advice that if they do so, it will stop? It doesn’t stop. It escalates.

My oldest daughter, nineteen now, was told “ignore them, they will stop” when she was laughed at, accused of doing obscene things with boys, talked about as if she weren’t there, and otherwise verbally abused when she was in middle school. When boys a foot taller than her began to ambush her by jumping out of doorways in front of her to scream at the top of their lungs, their faces just inches from hers, I told her to take a small can of hair spray with her and spray it in their eyes the next time it happened. She was not permitted to have mace in the schools.

The educational and medical ‘professionals’ do nothing for these students, and then they wonder at episodes like Columbine and Virginia Tech.

None of my children are diagnosed with an ASD. But I know, nonetheless, what happens to people who are. I shudder to think what is going to happen to the most severely vaccine damaged individuals, when their parents are no longer around to care for them. I have seen what my fellow Americans are capable of. And you, Bernadine, you scare me no less than the rest of them, simply because you’ve chosen now to speak up. What am I to believe—that as the director of the NIH you were too uninformed to have known about this years ago, when parents have been screaming about it for well on a decade now?

And the leaders of the autism ‘support’ organizations, they are no better. They rake in money and get all dressed up to go to their gala affairs, and that money then is used not to help children or families touched by autism, but is used instead to try to silence with threats of arrest those who speak out about vaccine damage, or to buy off the mainstream media who’ve done nothing but help spread the lie that autism is strictly a genetic disorder, not an iatrogenic and environmental assault on children. Never mind that it is epidemic, and there can be no such thing as a genetic epidemic. For well on a decade now, you ‘experts’ have not bothered to mention THAT little fact.

A person with a child with autism and in a leadership position in the autism community once told me privately of having gotten twelve amalgam dental fillings replaced while pregnant, but then asked me not to say anything to anyone else about that, please, because—aw gee whiz—she didn’t want to be embarrassed. And now here I’ve gone and embarrassed her by speaking about it publicly. Well for crying shame, shun me and banish me for my evil ways; it is no less than I deserve! What could be worse than being embarrassed, or embarrassing somebody else?

People will tell you privately that they believe that mercury causes autism, but publicly the word ‘thimerosal’ is verboten. Privately, they say they understand, but publicly they are busy glad handing with the very individuals complicit in the destruction of their children. Why? Well those individuals are able to raise the most awareness of autism (never mind that they do nothing about it), and—most importantly—they raise an awful lot of money.

I have never, in the nineteen years I’ve been raising my own children, seen one of them take out their frustrations on the innocent. I’ve never seen one of them do anything remotely abusive to any of their pets, until this morning, and so I’ve never felt that, as abusive as the people around them might have gotten, that they would have been unable to deal with it all in anything but a civil manner. But a few days ago when I got reports of my youngest children being tripped, spit on, food thrown at them, i-pods taken, class assignments poked at, snatched from them and torn—all while on the school bus in recent days—I made a phone call to the person in authority at the transportation department. “Please don’t, please don’t” my children say to me.

But if there is one thing that I have learned to loathe in recent years, it is being told who I shouldn’t be speaking to or what I shouldn’t be speaking about.

The violence and abuse is sure to escalate, now. (I am telling my children “If you tell people who are physically assaulting you to stop what they are doing, but they don’t, then hit them. You don’t need my permission, or anyone else’s.”)

Don’t anyone try to tell me that people in authority haven’t seen what happens. I don’t believe you at all anymore. You ‘professionals’ are all completely clueless.

There is only so much abuse any person is going to take, Ms. Healy, before they will begin to fight back. You obviously have enough sense to understand at least that much. But don’t expect any thanks from me for the things that you’ve done. It’s way the hell too little and it’s way the hell too late.

Oh I’m sorry, I’ve made a mistake. I see now that I was asked to thank not ‘doctor’ Healy, but Ms. Attkinsson. Well, that makes more sense!

Thank you so much, Ms. Attkinsson, for all that you’ve done.

I did both:

Hello:

I am writing to congratulate Sharyl Attkisson and CBS Evening News for last night's important and courageous report and interview with Dr. Healy.

Our son, Davey, was crippled by vaccines and his case is part of the 4,900 currently being heard in the Autism Omnibus hearing. When Dr. Healy spoke about the need to make vaccines safe not just for the majority, but also for the subgroup of childrend susceptible to their damage, she was speaking on behalf of our son.

For her courage, for your reporter's and network's willingness to say this, my family will forever have you in our hearts. You have earned a group of new and loyal viewers from our extended families.

Thank you, thank you.

[Holly]

Thank you Sharyl. You and CBS have got me now.

[Shannon Carpenter]

CBS,

Thank you for putting a different point of view on to speak about vaccines and autism. It was a breath of fresh air and to hear it from someone with the credentials of Dr. Healy should lend some more wait to the need to take a serious look at the need for research, not simply assuming all vaccines are safe for all people. I encourage you to delve more deeply into this issue. Thanks for having the courage to put on the air what many in the medical community are afraid to talk about.

[Shannon Carpenter]

I was happy to hear someone from the medical establishment speak the truth, that it is possible that vaccines hurt our kids. I wish others would see the need for research and not to simply close their eyes to any possibilities. But it looked like she was holding back or censuring herself ...

[Jean Martin]

This was one of the best, no, the best interview I have seen on this subject. It was handled gracefully and finally challenged a government official to take the right position, and she did. Congrats! Maybe now we can move forward in the right direction.

[Thnaks and thanks again]

Sharyl, whatever you do, DON'T STOP. I would like to see more worms come out of the CBS can. All the others have so far failed. Bigtime.
