From The Vaccine Awakening Blog: Vaccine Bullies & Fighting Back
By Barbara Loe Fisher
During the past decade, families in the United Kingdom, Canada and America have witnessed the demonization of brave doctors and parents of vaccine injured children. It has been both sickening and frightening to watch physicians and some journalists engage in a relentless persecution of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who first published research in 1998 examining the potential association between MMR vaccine and autism. It has become obvious that their goal is to turn him into a horrible warning to any physician who dares to investigate vaccine injury, especially regressive autism. Not satisfied with trying to destroy the doctor, who refuses to recant and defends pursuit of scientific truth, forced vaccination proponents are now acting to kill not only freedom of thought and scientific inquiry but also freedom of speech and informed consent to voluntary use of vaccines.

"Linking vaccines, autism tantamount to crying 'fire' where there isn't one"
In order for the analogy to work, the people crying "fire" would also be able to smell the smoke, hear the crackling of the fire and be stepping over the charred remains of the burned.

Another excellent article, Barbara; thanks.
Another take on the Wakefield hypothesis, and the subject of 'live vaccine strain viral infection mechanism', is that much more can be going on regarding the MMR:
(1) As a live virus vaccine, it contains glutamate (= a stabilizer). Not only is glutamate an excitotoxin in its own right - thus exacerbating the possibility of brain inflammation from the vax itself - but it lowers glutathione levels (the body's natural chelator). Thus, if/when the MMR is given in conjunction with other vaccines that contain aluminum and/or mercury, it will tend to keep the child's body from efficiently eliminating those heavy metals/toxins.
(2) The MMR also has in it chick embryonic fluid. This can contain MBP. Thus the vax can trigger the body's immune system to attack its own MBP as well as that in the vax, in its inflammatory reaction TO the vax/ingredients. And thus, with the BBB breached, the other toxins from the shot - like the measles virus (associated with gut damage, and thus with 'leaky gut syndrome') - can access & attack the brain/CNS. So it doesn't even need to be a matter of the vaccine's measles virus having possible 'molecular mimicry' to MBP; the vax can already contain it. (And thus, obviously, why so many studies show antibodies to MBP in association with gut damage in children with autism; eg, Singh et al.)
Solid, independent studies on these and other aspects of these vaccines are long overdue. Please continue your good work in bringing these issues out into the open, for the disinfecting effect of sunlight to act on them, and bring about change. Our children have suffered long enough from the chronic illnesses & diseases that have been generated in the wake of the mass vaccination programs. The TRUE risks-vs-benefits of various vaccines still needs to come out. And only then will we get safer vaccines.

Barbara,
Did you her about this journalistic excrement?

The madness of this persecution is that one of the charges against Dr Wakefield, is that of damaging Public Health Policy. Better that than Public Health, I say. Sadly, I think the Chief Medical Officer would say that it is acceptable to damage some children, for the 'Greater Good', especially when they can deny the existence of our damaged children.
My suggestion is that we offer all those who persecute Dr Wakefield a cocktail of all the current childhood vaccines that exist today that they haven't had. Who would be brave enough to take the bullet?After all, even if they've had the illness we could say it is a booster, ready for the expected epidemic.
