June 30, 2014, Northwestern (Oshkosh, WI): Childhood vaccines again deemed generally safe
Report: There still is no evidence the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine causes autism, but noted a slight risk of seizures and for rotavirus and flu shots
The latest analysis of childhood vaccines confirms they're generally safe.
The report should be reassuring to parents, the researchers say. For example, there still is no evidence the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine causes autism. Nor is there any proof vaccines cause childhood leukemia.
This story is by AP reporter, Mike Stobbe who has steadfastly (FOR YEARS) defended vaccines and denied a link to autism.
He was the subject of the first article I wrote for Age of Autism
Not only does he deny a link to vaccines, he's also sure that autism is nothing new. I wrote this about him in 2012
Clearly he's a true believer. He doesn't seem bothered by the gigantic leaps in the autism rate every year or two....
He wasn't troubled by former NIH head, Dr. Bernadine Healy, saying the science isn't in on vaccines and autism....
He's never asked for a vaccinated/unvaccinated study...
Hannah Poling didn't convince him something is wrong here..... AND
83 vaccine injury cases involving autism that were compensated by the federal government didn't get his attention.
So WHO EXACTLY DID THIS LATEST ANALYSIS? Stobbe didn't tell us. Were there pharma ties? Does he care?
Stobbe talks about seizures as no big deal. Yes, vaccines are linked to seizures, but it's nothing to worry about. I can tell you from personal experience that they are. My daughter developed seizures immediately following her Hep B vaccination fifteen years ago. She was 10 at the time. She had seizures on a regular basis for the next three years. We never knew when they might happen. Many were severe.
Mike Stobbe needs to understand that despite the years of his faithful reporting on vaccines, WE'RE NOT BUYING IT. There's just too much autism out there that no one can responsibly explain and too many autistic kids who also have seizures. AND JUST TOO MANY PARENTS WHO SAY IT WAS THE VACCINES!
He's also included in my book....The Big Autism Cover-Up: How and Why the Media Is Lying to the American Public.

Yes-It did not take long for the the vax defenders to jump on this so called Paediatrics vaccines survey. The article may LOOK impressive but it is full of contradictions and has a very questionable design protocol.
Just ONE example of the kind of inconsistencies rife in this from the text (abstract below):-
"There is strong evidence that MMR vaccine is not associated with autism."
From the FULL text (link below -free pdf can be downloaded):-
"1 Canadian study found MMR vaccination was associated with increased emergency department visits within 2 weeks. This finding is consistent with the IOM’s findings that
MMR vaccine is associated with febrile seizures."
Er - febrile seizures can be caused by encephalitis, which can result in an 'autism like' condition- brain damage in MY book, but NOT in Paul Offit's or Mike Stobbe's. Maybe someone should educate them?

RESULTS: Of 20 478 titles identified, 67 were included. Strength of evidence was high for measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine and febrile seizures; the varicella vaccine was associated with complications in immunodeficient individuals. There is strong evidence that MMR vaccine is not associated with autism. There is moderate evidence that rotavirus vaccines are associated with intussusception. Limitations of the study include that the majority of studies did not investigate or identify risk factors for AEs; and the severity of AEs was inconsistently reported.
CONCLUSIONS: We found evidence that some vaccines are associated with serious AEs; however, these events are extremely rare and must be weighed against the protective benefits that vaccines provide."

The real tragedy of vaccine injury is that you have to be personally affected in order to break out of the propaganda. People who have never struggeled with the devastating effects of vaccine illness don't know ( haven't the least clue) what people happens when this shot in the dark hits someone you love. But seriously... I would rather have any disease, that is any preventable disease, on the planet than to have a vaccine injury. Even Tetanus: because the fact is that medicine knows how to treat almost all the vaccine preventable diseases but they don't know how to treat a vaccine injury, the one disease that can only be prevented by avoiding the shot.

I continue to think of Kawasaki as a big clue and we will one day connect the two. I know the only "discussed" case was in Travota's child, yet there is autism in families with Kawasaki and they are being kept separated.
A report published by Current Medicinal Chemistry states that a susceptibility marker for Kawasaki’s disease is the genetic depletion of glutathione S-transferase which may also increase susceptibility to mercury. The report states that as thimerosal was increased in vaccines, the rates of Kawasaki’s disease increased ten times and then eventually climbed to 20 times. They state that 19 percent of those impacted manifested symptoms on the same day.
They further state that beyond thimerosal, vaccines contain several other additives which may be synergistic with mercury such as aluminum, formaldehyde and neomycin while others such as phenol can also produce Kawasaki like symptoms

"generally safe?" Good lord. That almost sounds like some level of capitulation.
