I would like to thank Dr. Wakefield for his strong moral character and his immense contribution to all those who have suffered from autism. His honesty, ethics, morals, and strength are what clearly defines this man from others. A truly remarkable person that you rarely see nowadays.

My previous post replying to Kerbob should have read:

"I am sure his views were shaped by a consensus of what British citizens thought they could expect from the state, which was fast being dismantled by idiot politicians. True, you could be over sentimental about the old health service, and true the politicians were understandably anxious about how it could all be paid for, but they generally asked the wrong questions and got the wrong answers."

John,

Actually Andrew couldn't have a more modern perspective on the subject of our children.

Most Americans pay taxes with at least the notion and an understanding that a certain moral responsibility to help the disabled in America exists.

Years ago many Americans expressed outrage at "Somali Warlords" stealing pallets of humanitarian materiel from starving Somalis.

This is best explained here:

Today, of course, right here in America well intended aid for families with vaccine-injured children has suffered a similar fate, being scarfed away in the hands of Autism Speaks, an organization that hired expert witnesses to testify against our children in vaccine court.

Re: Post by Chris O'Connell

"When I watched and listened to this video I broke down and sobbed...
For 3 years I have been as strong as anyone could be while fighting the fight through every conceivable avenue available. I have given up countless nights of sleep to learn everything I can about autism, biomedical treatments, behavior therapies, diets, vaccinations, thimerosal, aluminum, adjuvants, porphyrins, the Krebs Cycle, the CDC, and greed and corruption."

I can relate very closely to what Chris has written, as I'm sure everyone else here at Age of Autism has suffered many sleepless nights in exchange for researching information and seeking answers for their children, as well as many tear filled events.

I find myself often battling that urge to "break down and sob", although there have been times when this has become unavoidable, especially when I am overwhelmed by the reality of the massive effects of the vaccine tragedies. When I conceive of the millions of lives that have been devastated, both children and their families, it is difficult not to "break down and sob" especially in conceiving the future with more vaccine injured children and more autism every single day all over the world...

It is ironic to me that in my youth I felt so confident in our medical system when I gave birth to my daughter 38 years ago, with America leading the world with the lowest infant mortality rates. And now with my grandson's arrival into the world, America has descended to 34th place in infant mortality; Just one statistic of many which demonstrates the negative results of increasing the vaccine schedule.

Throughout my lifetime of my own health issues and my daughter's health issues growing up, my confidence in this country's medical system gradually eroded into zero confidence by the time my grandson was born, but I felt confident due to all of my natural and alternative medicine research that had produced so many positive results. However, this horrific monster called "Autism" is a multi faceted difficult puzzle to solve therefore the research and solution seeking is never ending.

When listening to Dr. Wakefield speak in this interview what struck me the most is his genuine compassion for our suffering children as well as his moral righteousness; which considering that today has been assigned as a celebration of Jesus Christ, it seems to me that they both have these good qualities in common: Compassion and Moral Righteousness. However this thought strikes me as well: Both of these men have been unfairly accused, persecuted, and unjustly tried by a human "court of law". Dr. Wakefield has also not been given due credit and recognition for the truth that he speaks by the "world at large", which also strikes me as comparative to the situation with Jesus Christ and Easter Sunday: A pagan goddess "Eastarte" has retained the name of this holiday in honor of the goddess of fertility for thousands of years, while her mascots the rabbit, and eggs, also symbols of fertility, take center stage with our children today.

This commercialized holiday tells me that Jesus Christ is not getting the recognition and attention he deserves for the Truth He Speaks. So, Dr. Wakefield, you are in good company today:)

Our children out on the street wandering around?

Perhaps Wakefield is ignorant of the fact that many parents seeking biomedical treatments quickly find the entire family out on the street? Families of vaccine-injured children wandering around bank to bank looking for enough jack to cover the costs of treating vaccine injury?

How much plastic a family can produce directly relates to several factors.

Number one is these pals of our children are uniquely aware of the fact that parents will pay through their nostrils if they are told treatment is a necessity.

A lot of these pals of our kids might as well have direct deposit enabling the second and third mortgages to go directly into their bank accounts?

Wakefield is nice enough to suggest a moral dilemma exists, but there's certainly more than one way to flunk when faced with a paradox.

"Vaccination is designed for the greater good. To protect the majority. And it does so at the expense of a minority...and that minority of children are those who are damaged by the vaccine. And that we don't know the size of that number because it's never been investigated properly. But none the less, even if you accept that that's a permissible ethical approach, that we can protect the majority at the expense of the minority, that minority, a group of children who have paid the price for protecting the rest of society, then therefor society has absolute moral and ethical obligation to care for those children for the rest of their lives. Period."
When I watched and listened to this video I broke down and sobbed when I heard the above quote by Dr. Wakefield.
I am a 39 year old man and father of a beautiful 4 1/2 year old daughter with regressive autism.
For 3 years I have been as strong as anyone could be while fighting the fight through every conceivable avenue available. I have given up countless nights of sleep to learn everything I can about autism, biomedical treatments, behavior therapies, diets, vaccinations, thimerosal, aluminum, adjuvants, porphyrins, the Krebs Cycle, the CDC, and greed and corruption. All in an attempt to formulate and carry out the best strategy to bring our daughter back.
When the services offered by our local school district in Vermont didn't even meet the base minimum recommendations for students like our daughter and we were unable to find affordable appropriate private services, we walked away from our beloved home and relocated to Texas where we found an appropriate school program and private services, as well as a wonderful DAN doctor. Unfortunately our house has not sold and due to the outrageous expenses associated with raising an autistic child, as well as having to take a substantial cut in pay, we may soon be going through foreclosure.
Our bank accounts are draining. Our credit cards are filling up while our limits are being slashed by the companies that once used to solicit us due to our outstanding credit.
Our older daughter has in many ways taken a back seat to Autism although we try very hard to not let this happen. She sits in the bleachers while her little sister attends a floor-time like therapeutic gymnastics session and asks, "why can't I do gymnastics too?". How can she possibly understand at 7 years old that we can't afford for her to take gymnastics while she sees her sister bouncing on a trampoline? She has been taken out of her comfortable small town school of 40 students from pre-k to grade six and placed in one with over 100 in 1st grade alone.
To say that we have sacrificed is truly an understatement, but it pales in comparison to the sacrifice our younger daughter has made for the "greater good".
When I initially watched the video and heard that quote, I couldn't help but think about others who make sacrifices for the majority; veterans, military, police officers, firemen...and what struck me immediately was that these are people of extreme honor who are respected and celebrated for their bravery and sacrifices by the public and our government alike...and they are all adults.
My little girl had 12 months and 2 days to be a child before her childhood was taken from her. She is mercury and aluminum toxic and has severe developmental delays. She doesn't communicate verbally and suffers from frequent GI problems. She is intolerant to many foods and receives IV infusions twice a month. She has no concept of holidays, games or friends. These are her sacrifices for the "greater good" and yet, she is not celebrated...she is not respected by our public or our government. She is not taken care of by the majority. The probable causes of her regression are either denied or ignored...and of course, we as parents are labeled as crazy, desperate, and belonging to a cult.
So, I cried. I haven't cried in a long time...at least not in sorrow, anyway. When I regained my composure I picked up my daughter and kissed her, told her that I love her, and apologized to her on behalf of all those who won't.
She looked at me and said "milk"...so I got her a glass of milk (coconut milk, of course).

Thank you, Dr. Wakefield. Thank you thank you thank you.

thank you Kristina.

My hope is, after Wakefield is cleared, that he will go on to find as many things wrong with each of the other vaccines. Every one has its ghosts, very much the same as the MMR. Vaccine damage started in the eighteenth century and continues today.

Looking good and can explain complex gut problems in simple terms to normal people ..this is why the goverment want to shut him up ...

well done keep them coming

Angus

Wakefield is an extremely well-spoken, moral, and courageous man. I think I have a little crush on him. ;-)

He says the truth will eventually come out, and I know it will. But when? When will the truth become common knowledge?

Thank you Dr. Wakefield for speaking the truth...

Does anyone know if the Urabe strain of Rubella is in any of the MMR vaccines currently being administered in the US? If so what is the product name and manufacturer?

The United Kingdom 2010:-
These days many of our politicians have shown themselves to be more interested in money, perks and possible 'honours' than in serving the public. They are 'commodities', available to be 'bought' by the highest bidder. (Very similar wording to that used by former Labour Minister Stephen Byers when 'offering' himself up for 'sale' as a government lobbyist).

Ditto, many of our senior public figures, including health directors, NHS executives, public 'watchdogs' and other professional 'bodies' which are supposed to uphold standards in public office. Our public services all pay 'lip service' to being 'open and accountable' to the public. In reality they are anything but!

I would like to 'think' that our courts of justice and senior legal persons, including judges, are immune to this kind of corruption, but most 'public inquirys' operate within government and other 'straightjackets' which means they never get to examine the important issues, or if they do, it is all conducted behind closed doors. Verdicts and conclusions are often 'perverse'.

The usual excuse given is that it is not in the 'public interest' for all details to be disclosed, but we members of the public are VERY interested indeed. I hope some brave publishers and media persons will now tell the GMC v Wakefield et al story in its truthful entirety.

It is time to properly inform the public about this very important issue, for us, for our children, and for future generations.

Oh well done Dr Wakefield and Alan Golding. Telling it as it was / is. The GMC case was held through the media - the media was the judge and the jury, now we hear what really happened. What a fabulous start to World Autism month. Whatever, the final outcome of the GMC case _ I think we all know what the grand plan is for THAT - it is terrific to hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, emerging at last. What a pleasant change. A whole generation of children damaged, and continuing to be damaged, in order to protect reputations, hide mistakes and fill pockets. And now the world will hear about it. No wonder Mandelson wants the digital economy bill!

He is very eloquent!!
