VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM

I have said that a trillion times on this blog. As long as you do not vaccinate your children against diseases they would never get any way you will be fine. Everything else is bullshit

Congratulations JB on your beautiful child- my second babys autism also stopped my wife from having our third child she will not do it she is depressed and hurt

DO NOT VACCINATE

VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM

Aspie, I disagree completely - in fact, the affected child gets so much care and attention that the sibs can feel left out, as is often the case when a child has a serious diagnosis that requires a lot of work, like Autism.

Wow! I am speechless. Amazing article and amazing faith you have. Thank you.

I am mother to a 6 yr old boy who was born at 31 wks (4 lbs), had surgery at 18 months (for a brain cyst in his left hemisphere), and then diagnosed with ASD at 2.5 yrs--all the while getting vaccinated according to schedule (inc. RSV shots because he was a preemie). Though we did not have an 'aha' moment because of K's global delays-- I know in my heart, there has to be a link.
You see, I did not find my "warrior" moms until he was enrolled at a local university speech program at age 4. Thank God for these women; they shared their stories and their bookshelves with me. Now I am in a position to share with other women just starting their families, or worse, just getting the diagnosis.
We just recently moved school districts and you bet when I enrolled him, I proudly handed over a 'vaccine exemption' form.
Our son has responded incredibly to the diet, supplementation, and of course, traditional therapies (now that his body and brain are healing). We are so grateful for AofA and all the other resources out there. It has made a huge difference for our son, K.

GREAT article and a statement of faith. Thanks as always for your courage and outspokenness.

One precaution I never hear people mention, though, is for pregnant women to STOP PUMPING GAS! Despite all my reading and precautions, this one didn't occur to me until I was standing there doing it and read a California notice that it could be hazardous to pregnant women. I felt stupid for not realizing it sooner, but every pregnant woman I've mentioned this to has had a similar "Oh sh*t!" moment. It's a blind spot.

I also chose not to vaccinate my daughter after watching the years and $$ it's taken my sister to recover her son from autism. I've always been hyper-sensitive to medications myself, so I feel my daughter was a prime candidate for Autism. I committed to breast feeding for a minimum of 2 years instead of vaccinating, which has been easy from day 1 (latch problems have been associated with -- you guessed it -- the HepB) and now that she's two I'm finally starting to lose that fear that she's going to suddenly regress like my nephew did.

She's extremely bright, loquacious, healthy, well-adjusted and well-ahead of all milestones. She's never had an infection. I trust her immune system to be stronger than most of her peers, whose health whoas I watch with much sadness and alarm at what our society insists on doing to generation after generation of kids. Something HAS to change.

Preventing autism (and a whole laundry list of other issues) is the primary reason we haven't vaccinated...yet. When I had my first baby, almost 4 years ago, I spent my entire pregnancy researching vaccines, and I was just torn up over the issue - but I went with my gut and did not vaccinate her, the idea being that we'd delay for a couple of years. She is almost four years old. Never been on an antibiotic, never been to an urgent care, never been to the hospital. When I had my second baby, a boy, you can dang well be sure that we did not vaccinate. Both kids have never had any medical issues. No allergies. No behavioral problems. Meanwhile, all of my friends who have vaccinated tell horror stories - getting vaxed and spending a week in the hospital PICU, asthma attacks, night terrors, allergies to everything, chronic ear infections, etc. I feel very blessed. My motto has always been: "think for yourself, question authority." I may decide to selectively vax in the future - but I'm not in a hurry. Thank you for all of the great information over the years - you've been a great resource to our family, and it has paid dividends. I'm just sorry that so many families have suffered from preventable vaccine injuries.

RE:Theodore Van Oosbree

After the ravaging of my three sons (two with autisn, one with ADHD), we learned our bitter lesson and my two beautiful daughters are perfectly healthy and normal (and unvaccinated!). BTW - why do so many people deny we are anti-vaccine? We are manifestly anti-vaccine in that we won't vaccinate our own children. How do you "green" poison?

EXACTLY!!!!!!
PROUDLY ANTIVACCINE! We all know what these things are made of. Once you know that you can NEVER GO BACK! But I'll admit fear is a POWERFUL force. Ignorance makes it that way.

After my light bulb turned on I thought, gee, if Riley is vaccine damaged WHY IN GOD'S NAME would I do the same thing to my daughter? Everytime we vaccinated Lily, she bled from her bowels. Red blood. The kind that filled up a diaper. She started this at 13days old. When I stopped vaccinating her, she stopped filling diapers with rivers of red blood. This is not rocket science, it's common sense.
I can say that she just turned 5 yrs old on Monday and on April 13th, I took her to kindergarten registration. She scored above and beyond on all of her "testing". The nurse (who knows me and my family well; she has too because of all of Riley's deadly allergies) had my vaccine exemption forms ready for me to sign as I sat down at the registration table.
I can also say that she has been on antibiotics ONE time in her short life. For a UTI when she was first being potty trained. The elderly doctor in the ER came in after confirming a bacterial infection and said..."Yes, it's a UTI and I'm going to write you a script for an antibiotics. Which antibiotics is she allergic too?" As if every child has been on antibiotics and some how every child has an allergy to at least one. I smiled and told him..."I don't know, she's never been on an antibiotic." He cocked his head to the side and was quite shocked..."You mean she's 3 yrs old and NEVER been on an antibiotic? You, mom, are an enigma." I sort of took that as a compliment. She is healthy, happy, smart, beautiful, perfect and was only vaccinated until she was 6 months old. It's just too bad that Riley had to be her hero. That Riley was sacrificed to save her. Riley became a tiny hero at 2 yrs old. If I had known, if I had had the Lyn's, the Kim's, the Dan's, the JB's, the Ginger's, the Alison's at that time. It's all 20/20 now.

This post was written four years ago. My 4 year old daughter is light years ahead of her peers, beautifully and wonderfully NT, and an advocate and spokesperson for her older brother w/ASD.

Did we ever vaccinate her? I'll let you be the judge, JB

Thanks so much for sharing this, JB. (How old is this article?)

My kids are 18 months apart, with the older one falling apart right about the time the younger one was born. By the time we found out what was going on, the younger one had been vaccinated pretty regularly, with the exception that - by the Grace of God alone - she received absolutely no mercury.

Now 13 (with autism) and 11 (NT), I've had to do a lot of praying about vaccines, as new ones are "recommended". Quite frankly, what God put on my heart is that it is He in whom I can trust, not man, and certainly not the government! Given the fact that the CDC, etc., have never atoned for poisoning our kids, have never admitted ANY wrongdoing, I feel that I would be the worst kind of mother if I ever laid my kids on their alter again. I really don't care what their vaccines supposedly "do" for you. It is what I do not know - what none of us really know, like what we did not know in the 90s - that scares the hell out of me. What reason has anybody ever given the CDC or the government to do an about face? Why should they make sure vaccines are safe? Why should they care what they are doing to kids? No one has ever called them on it; no one had made them accountable. Until that day, and maybe long after, I can not bring myself to subject my children to their "science" again. Not one reason in this whole world exists that I, or any other parent, should trust them. I've lived, I've learned, and I'm done. If anyone is paying attention, that does not make me anti-vaccine. It makes me anti-CDC!
Trying to be the best Mother I can, Allison

Great post! I too believe that many (if not most) cases of autism are preventable. When I think about that statement, the anger within me boils. As a society, we can prevent the suffering of thousands of children born each year if only more pediatricians would open their eyes to what is staring them directly in the face. While I'm not a doctor, and don't have the ability to influence many new parents, I do everything I can to share my biomedical knowledge with every expecting mother who will listen. If I can save just one child, all of the dirty looks and wispering I've endured will all be worth it! As a result of my persistance, my sister-in-law decided to space out my baby nephew's vaccines (just 1 at a time) and agreed to avoid the flu shot. It's a start!

My first child, a son, has PDD-NOS, and I have had two more since him, and am now pregnant with another. It was during my third pregnancy that he was diagnosed, so my 2nd child had already received many vaccines. Fortunately, she seems ok, though through homeschooling, I have noticed some ADD-like tendencies she exhibits that seem to be entirely absent in her younger, unvaccinated sister. My third child seems the healthiest so far, though since I stopped vaccinating, all three have been curiously healthy, including my son on the spectrum. This baby will also be unvaccinated. Like you, JB, I would like to be able to cautiously vaccinate at some point, but absolutely not until the necessary research has been done. My family has a history of possible vaccine reactions and so does my husbands. I feel like we are a lightning rod for vaccine injury, and I refuse to play that game. Not with my children's lives. I also got my mercury fillings removed about 6 months before getting pregnant.
