Thinking Mom's Letter to The Pediatrician She Fired
Thanks to the Thinking Moms Revolution for allowing us to share this post with you.
Dear Dr. Asshat;
You probably haven’t even noticed that I pulled my child out of your practice but I wanted to take a minute to explain why I did. You SUCK! Your lack of curiosity about my son’s medical decompensation and subsequent Autism after his over-vaccination under your care is offensive. Apparently “do no harm” really means “do not care”.
Do you know that my husband hates you so much that I can’t mention your name in his presence? Yes, we blame YOU. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) had the forethought to indemnify all pediatricians with zero legal liability before implementing the harshest vaccine schedule in the world, my only recourse is this letter. “Oh, but…” you whine, “we don’t know that vaccines cause Autism.” Actually, if you read the vaccine package inserts we do know and they do.
I saw that glint of panic in your eye when I brought Nick in at 18 months, three months after receiving the MMR, Dtap and Hib in one visit. Over those three months we had been in the Emergency room, spent countless hours with On-call pediatricians and Sick visits for unrelenting ear infections, bronchitis, and endless rounds of antibiotics. At that 18 month visit I told you Nick had stopped speaking and I saw the faintest shadow cross your face. That was your suspicion about what had happened. If you’d had the balls to say it out loud then; “Vaccine Adverse Event”, we could have begun the healing immediately. Instead you abandoned the truth and left Nick and I helpless to figure it out.
ASSHAT
There were so many moments when you failed my son. The most shocking realization came when I called you to tell you Nick had been formally diagnosed with Autism at 21 months. You told me you had an Autistic daughter. I had asked you at Nick’s 15 month shots, if you had the decision to make again for your children, would you still vaccinate with the MMR? You assured me it was safe. Guess that MMR may not have worked out all that well for you either?
ASSHAT
Or the office visit when we realized that Nick had gone from the 95th percentile in height and weight down to the 33rd in nine months. You told me there was no cause for alarm because obesity was the greater concern in children’s health.

Yvette,
Your weight,your health,your immune status,your accumulated toxin levels,the status of your blood brain barrier,your
nutrition,your mitochondrial health and energy levels also matter a great deal to.Stress can be a contributory factor
eg.Having vaccinations after ear infections and surgeries when do immune system is low and your gut bacteria is destroyed/reduced due to the antibiotic treatment.
Bev,
thanks for sharing re:the Devil's Priest.

Yvette,
Same reason not everyone who smokes cigarettes (or anything else), gets lung cancer or emphysema.
Not all immune systems are alike. Some people are simply more susceptible (predisposed) to immune system dysfunction, than others.

Yvette,
If measles and rubella causes encephalitis, then why didn't all of us who had measles and rubella have encephalitis?
If mumps causes deafness, then why didn't all of us who had mumps become deaf?

Each person is different and our bodies respond differently to toxins. Why isn't everyone allergic to peanuts or eggs? Trying to imply that vaccines can't be the problem because not everyone is injured makes as much sense as saying peanuts are fine because not everyone is allergic.

If vaccines cause autism then why aren't all kids vaccinated autistic?

Bayareamom,
It's called _Waging War on the Autistic Child_. (It's actually advertised here on ageofautism.)
Terri,
I'm not suggesting that destroying the medical records of autistic children is unimportant because it might have been short-lived. Having even one record destroyed shows consciousness of guilt on the part of the instigator. And the practice might have been short-lived, but widespread. Polly Toomey's kid's records went missing from her pediatrician's office and the duplicate set in the British archive also went missing. There might be many, many autistic kids out there with missing records. I think Dr. Deb was said to have "destroyed" records. That probably means they're irretrievable. A bunch of British autistic kids with missing medical records, that's a pattern and inferences can be drawn. A pediatrician who admits to having been paid to disappear medical records? After I read that, I had to pick my chin up off the floor.

Carol,
May I have the name of Wakefield's book re: the Arizona Five? Does anyone know whatever happened to those kids? (I've tried looking up Andrew's book, but couldn't find it anywhere.)
Posted by: Bayareamom | May 18, 2012 at 10:11 PM
Didn't know where to put this, but I think it may be okay to put it here. I've just been listening to Curt Linderman, Sr.'s radio show (fantastic, by the way). He mentions a book by the name of, "The Vaccine Superstition." His guest is Joni Cox (she's his Producer/Researcher). This show is fabulous; I recommend if anyone has some time, to take a listen:

Barry,
Absolutely no need to apologize! My passion for Truth gets the best of me, at times, but in the end, the Truth speaks for itself.
Benedetta: Glad to hear your kids seem to be doing better. And yes, I am from the East Bay Area of California.
Posted by: Bayareamom | May 18, 2012 at 03:33 PM
Bayareamom,
My apologies , I didn't mean to imply that you were coming here to be critical of others. I personally tend to be a broken record on this issue, and my passion can sometimes come across as a condescending view toward others who have yet to see the dark side of this argument. And that, for me, is the last thing I'd ever want to do.
I completely agree that the truth IS the truth. and it's a truth that desperately needs to be told. My moment of awakening happened several years ago, and it truly was a devastating moment. Beyond the fact that it contradicted everything i had been taught, the anguish of realizing that I led my kids by the hand to this horrible fate was almost too much to bear. And I can truly see why some people don't even want to go there.
Unfortunately, the only way to stop this madness, is for EVERYONE to "go there". I believe its a truth that you have to come to on your own. And as Adam suggests, we just have to keep reaching out with the truth, and hopefully plant the seeds of doubt that will eventually encourage people to start questioning what they've been told.
Posted by: Barry | May 18, 2012 at 01:28 PM
Whether or not the practice of destroying medical records was short lived or not is beside the main point. Where this took place (or did not take place) is also beside the point.
The main point--and the reason people are writing letters like this one--is that pediatricians have become tools for doing evil--killing and destroying the lives of infants, so that 2% of the population (or more, really) is either dead or significantly disabled through mass/careless/criminal vaccination practices.
That's the current figure (although we all know it would be higher if you factored in SIDs, Type 1 diabetes, life-threatening food allergies, etc.).
The sooner they wake up to that fact, the faster we can move forward.

maybe instead of having their head up their a@#@!, they could be represented by those three monkeys..used to be a fourth that would cross his arms, he was do no evil..In the Western world the phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge it, or feigning ignorance. Seems fitting to me:)
Posted by: barbaraj | May 18, 2012 at 01:11 PM
All I can say to the TMR is bravo. When you have vaccine injury deniers all up in arms (and they are) this means what you are doing is working.
Deliciously ironic that the tone of those in the blogosphere trying to silence this group of women (and man) are precisely why people despise those types and have now begun to voice that anger, which led to writing a letter like this in the first place. Enormous ego...astounding arrogance and intellectual dishonesty of the highest magnitude. Clue phone asshats... it's for you.
The good news, in a very sad and horrible way, is that enough children (and people) are being injured by these products that are manufactured by publicly traded corporations, then mandated by government, then injury paid for by taxpayer - and they will not be able to continue the baseline shift game for much longer. Too many people are waking up to the hypocrisy and their pseudoscientific blather has begun to fall on deaf ears.
The very same reason they claim there is no rise in Autism, is the same reason we saw a decrease in polio and an increase in vaccine-available-disease. The stroke of a fu**ing pen, and increased awareness.

Terri,
Without checking Dr. Wakefield's book, my impression is that Dr. Deb is British. It's my guess that the policy of paying pediatricians to destroy the medical records of autistic children was short lived because it's tantamount to an admission of guilt on the part of the pharmaceutical company. They wouldn't, after all, want to destroy the records if the kids were becoming autistic due to old, fat moms.
Posted by: Carol | May 18, 2012 at 10:08 AM
Bay area Mom;
For the longest time, I thought you where from the Bay Area of the Great Lakes in Michigan.
Then you said in one of your blogs something about San Francisco -- Oh that Bay Area.
My adult son is great - he is the healthest amongest us, and he is great!
My daughter is now a member of this health industry - after being a victim of it for years. She has two degrees, and as the Univerisity taught her their lies about vaccines - with a fellow classmate and friend sitting beside her with a vaccine injuried child ---and she herself injuried as a child and both about to be reinjuried --- well it is a mad, mad world!!!
But after you have a vaccine injury - you may do the diet, the suppelments, the exercise (that is important too and one I have the hardest time getting them interested and moving); but you darn well need antibiotics to fight off all the strep infections too.
It is a mad, mad, world!
Posted by: Benedetta | May 18, 2012 at 09:39 AM
"In Andrew Wakefield's book about the Arizona 5, he mentions a pediatrician known as Dr. Deb who, after her child was diagnosed with autism, confessed that she had been paid by a pharmaceutical company to destroy the medical records of kids in her practice with autism."
Evil.

@ Bayareamom
I believe the DVD you're referring to is Vaccines The Risks, The Benefits, The choices. Dr Tenpenny has several others she has put out too. BTW couldn't agree more with you and Barry. There is no safe vaccine and its very telling that doctors in the west are not trained in nutrition to any meaningful extent. This is the very thing the pediatricians should be scholars on. The works of Dr weston A. Price, Dr Francis Pottenger Jr., Dr Donald Kelly should all be standard knowledge among them. But since its not its up to us to be the bearers of that light. We have to reach out to our family friends and coworkers with this truth. They're not going to hear it from anyone else. The media is making sure of that. Just plant the seeds thats all you're responsible for.
Posted by: Adam M | May 18, 2012 at 06:21 AM
Bev,
Mendelsohn also stated (I think in his People's Letters articles he once published) that those so-called growing charts were devised by the insurance companies. Don't quote me, but I think that's what he said. If memory serves, those same health/growth charts, were used at one time by the allopaths to convince mothers to feed their infants formula rather than breastfeed them.
I completely agree with your post. Parents have been CONDITIONED to believe that they don't know how well their child is doing, until and/or unless, a person in a white coat with a stethoscope draped around his/her neck TELLS them their child is okay. When one considers that all they do at these well baby check-ups, is a percentage check on weight and height, ask perfunctory questions about the infant's eating habits, toilet training, etc. - this all takes essentially what, 10 to 15 minutes.
Then, it's on for the next round of vaccines - the REAL reason that infant/child is there in the first place.
I also cringe when I hear the so-called nutrition advise these peds give to their patients' parents. Considering that our own son's pediatrician in Denver, Colorado, explained to Jeff and I that they only receive some 30 minutes of discussion on nutrition in medical school, is it no wonder so many of these pediatricians do not truly understand how the infant immune system is impacted healthwise with the vaccines being loaded into their bodies, at 2, 4, 6, etc., months? The infant's brain growth undergoes tremendous upsurge at JUST the same time intervals that they are asking you to bring that child in for his next round of vaccines! It's insane!
It took that proverbial gun to the temple (our son's vaccine reactions), to finally wake up. We quit having health issues with our son ONLY when we quit seeking allopathic medical care for him. Now, we all use a homeopath for all our healthcare needs.
Lesson learned.
Posted by: Bayareamom | May 17, 2012 at 08:02 PM
this was on a homeopathic dog site...and the same thing that is happening in dogs, is happening humans, sysinct, to the point, and true. Vaccination is an abnormal pathogen presented in an abnormal route (injection) and influences the entire immune system in an unnatural way, leading to unnatural evolutionary selection where the results are dys regulation of the immune system, disruption of TH1 bias, atrophy of mucosal, increased inflammation, loss of specification and control. Vaccination dysregulates the immune system and genetically impacts the HLA (MHC) leading to an abnormal expression of disease susceptibility. The vaccine is no more a reflection of the actual environmental challenges faced by those vaccinated than the now dysregulated immune system is a reflection of intelligent design or natural selection. Vaccines are genotoxic; corrupted genomes are leading to the loss of the organic self. Vaccines are responsible for autoimmune, cancer, Type I-IV reactions, allergies, asthma, atopy anaphylaxis, eczema, organ failure, neurological, behavioral disease and death.[List is not complete] Vaccine disease is the root of our dys regulated immune system and the dys regulated immune response.

Chapter 7: The Devil’s Priests by Robert S. Mendelsohn, M.D.
Posted by: Bev, RN | May 17, 2012 at 07:38 PM
Barry,
I couldn't agree with you more. In all my some 20 plus years of vaccine safety/efficacy research, what I've come to understand, in part at any rate, is this: There MAY have been good intentions with the advent of vaccines. I certainly have no doubt that most pediatricians truly believe in the value of vaccination. But I KNOW that many pediatricians across the globe are questioning SOME of the information they've been taught in medical universities. I also know that in the so-called vaccine trials/research, they set those trials up to deliberately obscure results they DO NOT want to see published.
In other words, they set these safety trials up - design them - to ONLY provide them with the end result they want to see achieved. If they can't cover up some of the research results via the research itself, professionals are hired, at times, to deliberately skew the stats, prior to publication.
But truthfully, I've seen this done on both sides of the camp (pro and anti-vaccine research stats). Stats are only as good as the truth is behind them.
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny has done, in my humble opinion, some of THE BEST research out there, as it pertains to the history of homeopathy and allopathic healthcare. These two camps have been at one another's throats for hundreds of years. She has a terrific DVD out there on this subject (can't remember the name of it off-hand).
When you start connecting all the dots with this issue, you then sadly realize that this game is truly - TRULY - NOT just about bottom line profit margins. It goes a little deeper than that.
Over the many months, I've read some pretty enlightened comments with some of the folks on this board. It is abundantly clear to me that some of you have reached this same sorry conclusion, as well.
And no - I don't mean to use this forum as a forum within which to be critical of parents who use pediatricians. But at the same time, the truth IS the truth. Well intentioned or not, pediatricians are THE BIGGEST reason our kids - generations of them at this point - have been damaged. For any of these pediatricians to believe this is so, would probably cause several of them to go off the deep end.
I can only imagine the absolute horror, the heartbreak, for many of these pediatricians to begin to uncover the onion layers, and realize the absolute horror behind what they've been taught - that what they actually BELIEVE - may not be the truth (that vaccines are completely safe and effective).
I'll never forget one particular physician stating to me what it was like for her, when she realized one early morning while sitting at her kitchen table, reading through a medical journal, that she'd been taught complete fabrications about vaccines when in medical school. She, too, thought for many years that vaccines were completely benign, sterile ingredients, that could do no harm. When she realized this was not the case, she sat at that kitchen table with tears streaming down her face.
THAT was her moment of Awakening; that was her moment of Truth.
The Truth is not always pretty and in some cases, it hurts - deeply so. But I would rather know the Truth - ABOUT ANYTHING - than not know it at all.
In the end, one cannot unring a bell. When you discover the Truth, in all its glory, there is no going back.

Devil's Priests is the term the late Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn (1926-1988) used when speaking of doctors and I think he was right. Why do mothers and fathers feel they need to have their precious baby see the "doctor" at 2, 4, 6, 9, 15 month and 2 year check ups? Do we need a "doctor" to tell us how our children are progressing? Weight and height in the 90th percentile? bullsh**!! This is 2012! We are smart, caring and mature people and we do not need a person with a doctorate degree to tell us how our child is. The only reason "doctors" want us to keep "well child" visits is to vaccinate. Period. Let's stop the madness!!
Posted by: Bev, RN | May 17, 2012 at 07:27 PM
I have stated in prior comments, that it absolutely astounds me that parents feel that they NEED a pediatrician to keep their children healthy. I have openly stated in those comments that I feel parents should fire their pediatricians. Even seemingly awake and aware parents (and here on this board), will openly admit they STILL seek the services of a paediatrician.
***********
I don't mean to be critical of anyone, particularly not parents who come here and share their experiences. But I also wonder how anyone like us, who wakes up everyday to the crushing sadness of vaccine damage, can still feel the need to defend vaccine.
Anything that contains poison, is a poison.... end of story.
If one vaccines can do harm to your child , than you have to assume that ANY vaccines can do harm to your chilld. The notion that we can protect our kids by giving them less vaccines, is just another form of the same game of Russian Roulette.
If the experts can't prove which vaccines are safe, how can we as parents, possibly know that the "reduced schedule" we just picked ins't going to so form of harm?? To put that another way, if the "experts" say it's safe to inject our kids with mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde, and we decide to protect them by choosing only to give them aluminium and formaldehyde.... is that really the smartest choice we could be making in that situation?
The paradigm is backwards. The "experts" argue that "they can find no evidence" that vaccines are harming children. And until they can find it, parents like us are noting more than alarmists who's hysteria is putting the population at risk. The reality however, is that vaccine safety studies are conspicuously missing,, And their inability to find evidence, is more reflects the fact that they're intentionally looking in the wrong places.
My kids have not been vaccinated since 2005. And they won't receive another one until someone can show me scientific proof of the safety and efficacy of any vaccines.
I won't be holding my breath.
Posted by: Barry | May 17, 2012 at 06:38 PM
I am blessed to have had the same pediatrician for 25 years...when my first 2 had about 8 vaccines (starting at 2 months of age)and had minor issues, then the next 2 had about 24 vaccines (starting at birth in hospital) and had MAJOR issues (including autism)so she has SEEN this happen in her practice, and had NO problem with me jumping off the vaccine bandwagon. and I'm so very glad I did: my youngest 2 (unvaccinated)have only needed ONE doctor's appt. in a combined total of 14 years!!!! (Offit I sure hope you're reading this.)
Posted by: mommyof6 | May 17, 2012 at 06:16 PM
I think we should take out a full-page ad in USA TODAY, and put The Thinking Mom's Letter To The Pediatrician She Fired on it.
It's not just pediatricians who should read it. EVERYONE should read it--the nurses, the receptionists, parents and grandparents and teachers EVERYWHERE should read it.
And we should give them a ball-park figure of how many have actually had these vaccine reactions, since very few of them EVER GOT REPORTED.
We would, however, have to come up with a good, colorful-yet-printable substitute word for "asshat" :(

URGENT!
Congressional Briefing on the
VICP on Capitol Hill Tomorrow!
From our friends at SafeMinds:
Please call your Congressional Legislative offices NOW and ask them to attend a STAFF BRIEFING TOMORROW at 10:00 am
Callers should identify yourself as a constituent.
Ask to speak to the Legislative Director of someone in the office who works on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Even if callers only talk to the person who answers the phone, they need urge them to PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR Congressman has a staff person at this briefing.
Where: 2168 Rayburn
When: Tomorrow - Friday May 18 10:00 am
What: Staff Briefing to discuss The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Addressing Mismanagement Issues and Providing Legislative Recommendations
Hosted by SafeMinds with the Vaccine Injured Petitioners Bar Association
The Briefing will discuss the current status of National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and provide legislative recommendations to address a number of serious management concerns in the program. This program has had more than 14,000 petitions filed (more than 1,000 for
deaths) with less than 3,000 being compensated.
There has been no Congressional Oversight in more than a decade.
SafeMinds joins the vaccine-injured community in requesting that Congress hold investigational hearings on the VICP and work with the community to critically evaluate the program's failures to provide accessible relief to victims and to address ongoing concerns regarding vaccine safety.
The program was designed as a "no-fault'' alternative to litigation against vaccine manufacturers versus an exclusive remedy to civil court. It was envisioned by Congress to compensate "quickly, easily and with certainty and generosity those individuals who are injured or die as a consequence of
our universal vaccination policy" and to provide an opt-out to civil court if the litigant disagreed with the ruling. When there was doubt, the program was intended to err on the side of the injured.
Scheduled Speakers:
Eric Uram, Executive Director of SafeMinds
Clifford J. Shoemaker, JD, MBA, LLM, Shoemaker & Associates, Vaccine Injured Petitioners Bar Association
Peter H. Meyers, JD, Professor of Clinical Law, The George Washington University School of Law and author of paper, "Fixing the Flaws in the Federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program"
Louis Conte with almost 3 decades of law enforcement experience, served as primary investigator and co-author of paper, " Unanswered Questions from the Vaccine Injury Petitioners Program: A Review of
Compensated Cases of Vaccine Induced Brain Injury"
and individuals who have been petitioners in the VICP.

I have a friend whose daughter is a pregnant pediatrician. Her brother has autism. Her brother in law has Aspergers. She has gluten allergies. She does not want to discuss the vaccination issue and will likely go with what she has been taught. It might take a generation of sibling medical professionals to face what we've faced to undo the damage of medical/pharmaceutical sales school.
Posted by: Stagmom | May 17, 2012 at 05:58 PM
Benedetta,
Hi there. Always great to read your comments. I've read perhaps almost all of your comments here.
Antibiotics kill more gut flora and damage the gut when in use. Your kids are caught up in a sort of big pharma cycle; first, they're predisposed to toxins which impact their immune system, then they're subjected to antibiotics to quell the damage done by the vaccines. It's a vicious cycle.
I don't have all the answers, but perhaps you may want to look into less conventional ways to help your grown children re: their chronic health issues. Our son's life was SAVED by a qualified homeopath out here in California.
Our son is now thriving. He still suffers with the occasional seasonal allergies, but even that has abated substantially. He has never had ANY antibiotics, save for the ones that may have been given to him in several of the vaccines he had, until the age of 4 months.
We have learned so much since the day our son had these horrific vaccine reactions.
Pediatricians are not evil people, Benedetta. They just don't know any better; they ONLY know, what they've been taught. They have become nothing more than pimps for the big pharma industry. That's the truth. What they offer in their little bag of big pharma tricks, will continue to damage your kids.
Not all allopathic medicine is junk science. I've seen some of the miraculous things they've been able to accomplish with certain surgical procedures, etc.
But their so-called expertise in the area of wellness and preventative healthcare, leaves SO MUCH to be desired.
Posted by: Bayareamom | May 17, 2012 at 05:19 PM
Well I have my son's medical records,but it took a lot of requests to get them and finally we made a big move across country and I was able to get them that way as an excuse.
I did not fire my peds, because I darn well needed tons of prescription antibiotics for both of my kids, since their immune systems could not fight off a darn thing. I needed to make an appointment fast and be able to get in and get out-- because we are talking a weekly ordeal here.
I did write a letter describing what happened to my son six hours after his DPT shot. Since it was barely menitioned by me and they were always running around with thier heads cut off and never gave me hardly time to say/describe/explain/complain.
That worked very well - it finally got the head Peds attention. Maybe it helped other kids - many said afterwards that they let more kids out of the vaccines.
It almost became a tradition -- if they seemed to have no time to talk to me - they got a letter.
Even when we did finally move away -- I still take the time to give them up dates. I think they should know what they did to mine and are doing to even more.
I wrote and told them about his seizures were finally dignosed at 17,that those jerks was seizure activity, what medicines he is on, what is working, and what is not.
I have yet to write and tell them how my daughter who had Kawasakis came out with the Hep B when she reached adulthood though. I guess I should - and will- so they could if their conscience that bothers them --- perhaps they will warn other parents of kids with Kawasakis about future vaccines.

I have stated in prior comments, that it absolutely astounds me that parents feel that they NEED a pediatrician to keep their children healthy. I have openly stated in those comments that I feel parents should fire their pediatricians. Even seemingly awake and aware parents (and here on this board), will openly admit they STILL seek the services of a pediatrician.
I realize that we are all conditioned - at times - to believe that we have to have a pediatrician for our children. This indoctrination starts during pregnancy. I can well remember it, myself. BUT, I'd also been warned about vaccines (and therefore, pediatricians), by a friend of mine, prior to becoming pregnant.
Did I listen? NOPE. And I watched - I watched those same pediatricians that I hired, DAMAGE my kid. I watched our beautiful little boy suffer with petit mal seizures and high pitched screaming episodes right after a 12 hour bout with somnolence.
Lovely.
QUIT GOING TO PEDIATRICIANS. Every one of you - do whatever you can to help educate newbie parents about this issue.
Years ago, I received an apology from a Generation Rescue Angel (Mom). She lives in Foster City,CA, where we used to live years ago. Our son was around the age of two when we moved there (1994/1995). At that time, reports were just starting to come in, re: children regressing after the many vaccines they were given. I was one of those moms that not only refused to continue to vaccinate my kid any longer, but I openly stated as such. I was treated as a pariah; they even tried to keep my little guy out of playgroups because they thought their vaccinated kids would somehow 'catch' something from my no longer vaccinated child.
This mom over at Generation Rescue (about four years ago), apologized to me. When I asked her why she was apologizing, she told me that even though she wasn't one of those moms that treated me like this back then, she darn straight knows she would have been, if given the chance. But at that time, she didn't know what she knows NOW.
I had to learn to really take it on the chin with some of this stiff. It's not easy speaking the TRUTH down here - about ANYTHING. Truth is in little commodity down here, but you've got to educate, educate, educate, those around you that don't yet grasp this issue.
I had our first pediatrician (of whom I fired by the way), tell me that I didn't love my son, if I didn't do everything he told me to do, with his junk medicine.
I told him where he could stick it in return.
Do I like having to say things like this to other people? No! But you learn down the road that you have to do whatever it takes, to undo the damage that has been done. Pediatricians as JUST as brainwashed as we were (and some still are), as parents, in believing this junk science called vaccination.
I will love the day when our allopaths and homeopaths (and all naturalistic healthcare practitioners), can learn and work together, in their 'art.'
Until then, it is what it is. I will NEVER hold back on what I think about vaccinations when I get the chance to speak up. I don't care what people think of me; if they think I'm some sort of loon, that's okay. That seed's been planted - they'll learn sooner or later.

Dear Dr. Asshat,
We are the mothers of the thinking revolution,
You are the cause and not the solution,
Of the autism epidemic and our firm resolution
To fire you with a rapid, guilt free execution
Because your genes carry the dumb ass evolution.

The reason they will never win this debate in the end is that they cannot hold American children up as the Gold standard of health in the world. They keep doing the same thing with devastating results and the sheer numbers alone will eventually bring the house tumbling down. Visit any school today and see how different kids are from before. Autism/ADD/ADHD/Asthma/Diabetes/Cancer/Life-threatening Allergies/Arthritis, and just the kids with OCD issues, anxiety issues, bi-polar, tourettes, tics, speech problems, the list is endless. They have to have drug "cubbies" to hold and dispense all the medications, Ana-kits, neuroleptics, anti-psychotics insulin, inhalers, and more. We have the sickest generation of children ever, the first generation that overall will not outlive their parents and mainstream medicine continues to push... their toxic vaccines claiming this is the ony path to real health, while the results show it is anything but that. We now know that many childhood illnesses had benefits to the immune system and are seeing the results of that too, even if they are not acknowledged. Mumps they say protects women in adulthood from Ovarian cancer, the immunization does not. Chicken pox in children regenerated immunity in adults around them but now with the vaccine we see epidemic rates of shingles in adults at ever younger ages. Many experts believe that the current pertussis outbreaks are not due to unimunized children, but because it has mutated and is no longer the same pertussis virus as in the current vaccine. Meaning NO BENEFIT compared to risk. The gig is up, the sham is over, the veil has been pulled from peoples' eyes - vaccines are damaging the immune system and brains of children and it is going to take every single American to put a stop to it. If you know the truth and are not actively working to stop this, then you are part of the problem.

Let's repeat what Carol said--far and wide:
Pediatricians are PAID to destroy the medical records of children who develop autism.
Well, yeah. Evil.

In Andrew Wakefield's book about the Arizona 5, he mentions a pediatrician known as Dr. Deb who, after her child was diagnosed with autism, confessed that she had been paid by a pharmaceutical company to destroy the medical records of kids in her practice with autism.
Hard to imagine what motivated some people to become doctors.

The number of pediatricians (and other MDs) who are so deeply in denial that they have autism *in their own children*--AND STILL push this crap. . .
Yeah, shocking.
Not too much is shocking anymore, but parents willing to sacrifice their own children--KNOWINGLY--and then lead others down that path?
Still shocking.

Right on. If everyone fired their pediatrician there would be no more vaccine damage i.e. autism, brain injury, autoimmune disease and death. I've fired mine.

Thanks for printing Thinking Mom's Letter and her anger (and her husband's anger) is totally justified. It will take more and more angry voices to turn around the vaccination-caused catastrophe.
Here in brilliant color is the Ages 0 to 6 Immunization Schedule so lauded by the miscreants at CDC, AAP, NIH. The American people must see this Chart and its clear, enormous capability of CAUSING tremendous harm by INJECTING hundreds of toxic chemicals and innumerable contaminants into helpless infants within months of being born, and into babies and youngsters continuously thereafter.
Censorship by the mainstream media keeps this Chart well hidden; they don't dare show it as they reap scores of $Billions of ad revenue from Pharma, Pharma that makes $Billions by selling the vaccines, and then for perpetuity making hundreds of $Billions more by selling drugs for treatments of vaccine damage.
The Chart: (please copy and pass to everybody you know, especially media reporters, editors, and parents-to-be)
