The presidential election is just days away and the new report about the Affordable Care Act is that the cost will be increasing by double digits! Hillary will continue with this disastrous policy and it will lead to mandatory vaccinations for everyone with the standard of care being dictated by the government. Trump has promised to overturn the Affordable Care Act if he is wins the election. I'm voting for Trump as our only hope of freedom of choice for the future.

Clinton campaign email excerpt:
"Ethan, Dan and I spent more time than anyone would have liked dealing with this vaccine silliness today..."

From Clinton Fdn email:
"But particularly for second and third line drugs and for new drugs in the pipeline that are coming forward, our agreements with the big pharmaceutical companies are important. We are also doing agreements with the large pharmaceutical companies for vaccines and for TB and malaria drugs."

Birgit I did not know what you meant by tour, I was curious. I thought it meant - well I did not know for sure.
That sounds really fun and educational.
I am still curious that in high school you took a trip to Denmark. How did you go - by plane or ship?

We collected money all through grade school and high school so we all could take a trip to Washington D. C. and New York. My sister who was 8 years older than I - went by yellow school bus - My Mother a teacher went as chaperone.

The school always held a Fall festival with a Queen and King - and the class that collected the most money had their candidates/selected classmates made Queen and King. We all made lots of cupcakes to sale, lots of cake walks and on and on. OH, all the sugar and wheat I have consumed in my life - and now if I eat it : the bottom of my feet and heels hurt. I also get a migraine in the front of my forehead.>

All that work we did and when it came our senior year, our county consolidated, and the new school officials did not adhere to the old guard that thought travel was very important to education. So we did not get to go.

They let us have some of the money to rent the "Red Barn" part of Renfro Valley Bluegrass Music and Radio buildings. It was a big fat nothing - no fun at all and I learned that my friends with their boyfriends on our last night together were total bores. Yeap; No fun at all . I went home early.

Yeah, Chris Wallace and Brit Hume have both been around for ever on Fox News. They do have a lot of good reporters, and they also have a lot of opinion shows too. .

Even so it is hard to know the truth or the extent of the truth on any thing, unless you have experienced it or have friends that experience it.

I am getting my debates mixed up now. But Hillary in one of them said : That health care insurance they made sure that women did not pay more than men?

My daughter is paying a lot more than my son. She lies so easily that I think well I am wrong, or I don't understand what she meant. They both have the same stupid company too.

Benedatta! Anderson Cooper is my least favorite news person. He is in other words one of the worst newsmen I know because of the Wakefield interview. But I watch people even when they don't say things I like. I know enough about Fox and the news they put out that I avoid them. Chris Wallace at the debate was a refreshing exception. He was the best moderator of all three. Things may be changing at Fox since they have news leadership.

In the day of witch hunting there was very little the purported witch could do to get out of the punishment provided. Even the mother of Kepler was accused of being a witch and the great scientist had a very difficult time to keep her from being convicted. The standard knowledge was that when a witch was a witch there was just no defense against that. Galilei had to fight a similar battle against the tenets of religion and later Darwin, too. With vaccines it seems similar. The general opinion is so entrenched about the goodness of vaccines that it has come close to a religion. In order to change that quasi religious belief in the holiness of vaccines, it has to be knocked off its pedestal. How? I don't know. But sooner or later there has to be a tipping point at which vaccines are no longer called unsafe while they are at the same being hailed as safe by the medical profession and even much of the general population. Scientists have to wake up.

@ATSC
Thanks for the hugs and words of encouragement. I needed the hug. And hugs back to you.
that was very kind of you.

Jeannette Bishop
How can I word this? When you demonize other people, it is the most venerable of our society that is most effected. I think that is the problem with the second and third generations of our immigrants that are Muslim. Their parents are stable, but there have been some recent problems with their children and I think there is a link between over vaccinating and mental illness with a religion that well there was a problem of inflamed sermons within the Mosque.

So here we have some one that knows what part of the population is vulnerable and willing to use them to insight violence against a opponent of the opposite party.

By the way -a couple of weeks ago, I woke up to the news that the Republican headquarters in North Carolina had been bombed.

Put another way...

A vote for Hilary Clinton is a vote for Paul Offit,
Dorit Reiss,
Art Caplan,
Walter Orenstein,
Tom Frieden,
and the whole Vaccine Dinner Club.

I must have switched my names around! Absolutely I believe and know in my heart that Trump cares a great deal more for children than Hillary ever would or could. Sorry for my "switch." I meant the complete opposite and yes, it is not surprising that Hillary would defend the rapist of a 12 YEAR OLD child. I think she would do anything for money. I personally only watch mainstream media to see what "they're" up to. Start looking at alternatives. They are out there.
Benedetta, I'm with you. I can't even handle hearing about Hillary as the preferred choice. It's just that hard now. Hugs to you.

It's generally accepted wisdom that journalists tend to be left leaning. Of course there are exceptions. But to talk specifically about Fox as being fair and balanced, is a bit of an exaggeration. I know quite a bit about Rupert Murdoch, and he would not be my choice example of fair and balanced. Rupert Murdoch has built a newspaper empire that has no equal. I have been a newspaper reader since the days when I had a paper route at around age 8. At around the same time I went one a tour of a German newspaper "Bremer Nachrichten". When I was 18 I went on a tour of a newspaper "The Berlingske Tidende" in Copenhagen. I also read a book "The Fourth Estate" by Jeffrey Archer which, by what I understand, is an account of the lives of two publishers one Robert Maxwell and the other Rupert Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch and Robert Maxwell have lead very interesting lives, but you can't call either of them exactly fair and balanced. Recently I read a book "Malcolm is a Little Unwell" by Malcolm Brabant a BBC foreign correspondent, who suffered a serious reaction to a yellow fever vaccine. You can see I am generally interested in the news, and even though I am not always right I do try. I have a general interest in the news, and it makes a lot of difference to me whether something is fair and balanced. It's a shame that the news media have not been as fair, especially to the autism community, but that has nothing to do with who is running for President.

Twyla;
I have admired you and loved you -- yes loved you for a long time. Thank you for telling me not to be mad at you - that you care. It makes me almost want to cry.

The same goes for Danchi.
You both can write and express yourselves - bring in good information - search through it and summarize it better than I ever could.

When it came to vaccinating my children I was so messed up; I trusted all of my education, my professors in college, even my supervisors at the Forest Service that insisted we all get a tetanus shot. The Doctors all. .

STill my instincts did come right up in my chest and throat - just like now.

I got to get off of here for a few days. I just cannot take other people opinions; on this matter. I get so upset, I get that feeling again in my throat and chest. I think it kind of resembles fear.

I will try to get ahold of myself and put faith where it is suppose to be and that is in God. And according to the Bible it don't turn out well no matter what we do anyway. Fatalistic view might be just the better way to live. Except --a recent article on here did say that if you get vaccines at the local drug store - they don't keep records.

You know - I think we got all of our vaccines at the local drug store and am up to date. Will that work if I by some miracle have a grandchild?

@Cait from Canada: "(Hillary is) more concerned about your children and grandchildren than Trump will ever be."

Hillary Clinton didn't show any concern or compassion for 12-year-old rape victim Kathy Shelton:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-4djseLR7Y

The science is clear: The earth is round, the sky is blue, and #vaccineswork. Let’s protect all our kids.#GrandmothersKnowBest
Scientific American:
My opponent in this race has consistently discounted scientific findings, from his comments about vaccines to his claim that climate change is a hoax. These dangerous positions not only put Americans at risk, but can have long term impacts on our country’s growth and productivity.
As president, I will work closely with the talented physicians, nurses, and scientists in our US Public Health Service to speak out and educate parents about vaccines, focusing on their extraordinary track record in saving lives and pointing out the dangers of not vaccinating our children.
In a videotaped discussion, exonerated British doctor Andrew Wakefield had this to say on the presidential election between Donald Trump and Crooked Hillary:
For me, this is a one-issue election. That is the future of this country invested in its children, and if we have mandatory vaccination in this country, in this state as they have in California, then it’s all over. And we will achieve that objective by 2032 of 1 in 2 children with autism. There is one person – whatever else you may think about him – who has expressed the fact that he knows that vaccines cause autism, that vaccine damage is real, and this is an issue that will never in his mind lead to mandatory vaccination either statewide or stateswide. Now I had the privilege of meeting him the other day to discuss this precise issue, and he is on our side. Whatever else you may think, I want you to bear that in mind. I’m not going to tell you how to vote; you are free-thinking Americans. But I will say is that we will not get a second chance. Within two years, I would say, of Hillary Clinton getting in – if she gets in – there will be mandatory adult and child vaccination across the entire country.

Benedetta, I'm with you. Hillary is the worst, most corrupt candidate ever. Go Trump!

"You cannot be a one issue voter" - I am still laughing (I should be crying)

There is only one issue - life or death .

Rotten = death (vaxxtermination & ww3)
Trump = gives us a half chance

It really is that simple .

Yes, Ya All vote Hillary

Juiie do that.

We will catch us another politician - A better politician - and one that will even be a Democrat in that next election cycle - that too is all for real vaccine safety. They come along all the time.

Why in the last 40 years - toward the end, we got Obama that when cornered by a parent promised research into the matter. Research as scum Poul Thorsen, and trash cans full of it at the CDC, as little miss pink -Umbridge -- I mean - Coleen Boyle insisted on filling the up with data. .

And while we are waiting for that Democrat on the next election cycle that will be our hero; We will Take down all borders of the Western Hemisphere. Cause everyone loved the European Union as gangs of Middle Eastern young men that also crossed the borders shoots up Paris.

and roll up them sleeves for that yearly flu shot.
Don't worry it won't be long , that they will even roll it up for you; after you get some sort of Parkinson's, or some other paralyzing disease.

Yes, let us do that.
Cause we don't won't to be a one issue voter = now do we. There are other issues more important that the future of all te infants out there.

And yes, I am mad at you all and disappointed too.

@Danchi You are completely correct. Trump is irrational and unreliable on so many issues.

I cannot be a one issue voter on the hope that he will be slightly less pro-vaccine than Clinton. And while Clinton is not my first choice, when I think about which candidate would be more willing to increase social services and supports for our injured children, the clear choice is not a man who lacks even the appearance of empathy.

A small one-time donation to Generation Rescue in 2010 after being asked by Jenny McCarthy does not in any way indicate that he would have any sustained position or policy vis a vis vaccinations or support for our kids. Also said donation came from his foundation and not from his pocket. He did not give his foundation any money since 2008 so money came from others.

Carolyn M! I am watching most of those news programs regularly. The one channel I do not watch for news is Fox. I watch their soccer games. I am a soccer fan and if anyone else here is, I highly recommend it for a way out of being too frustrated. I can't stand Fox News. I am well informed on most current subject, and yes I know where Aleppo is. I have been interested in autism since the year 2000. I am interested because I have more experience regarding autism than I care to explain. I am interested in politics and I want to know what a potential President is going to do for me. So far I have not heard much by any of them that convinces me that they are going to be able to change anything even if that person has the best intentions. The government is very unwieldy and even if somebody wanted to change things like Bernie Sanders, the execution of that intent would be hampered by all kinds of massive road-blocks. Because of that I trust a person who has worked in the field more than someone who has not been politically engaged. Unfortunately Donald got to where he is right now because he divided and conquered in the primaries. There have got to be better candidates. But I don't see it. I am ready to change the subject.

Again, Bill Clinton isn’t running for President.

No its much worse than that !!!! Clinton Bodycount Danchi ?

The Drudge report (famous for being the first to out the Lewinsky story) is saying it is going to release something big on Rotten Rodham on Saturday (of a sexual scandal in nature I understand) .
But we will see . Wikileaks could yet decide the next POTUS (perhaps why they have been shut down).

Rather than address each person individually I'll put it in one comment. I thank AOA for it's patience.
Bob:
"Everyone talks about Trump when he's President will do this that or the other yet NO ONE has been able to provide documentation or comments of Trump where he says what he would do"

You have to be more specific than this ..
I have to be more specific? That rich. Since the beginning of the year not one person on this comment board has been able to provide a specific quote that Trump made stating specifically what he would do if he were President about vaccines. Ironically I have which seems to just go over you heads or it just doesn't fit your comfort zone.
Would you like me to list the Donald Quotes on how he is Pro-Vaccine BY HIS OWN ADMISSION.
-Donald Trump quotes: Vaccines, Ebola and Universal Health Care

Via Twitter:

“If I were President I would push for proper vaccinations but would not allow one time massive shots that a small child cannot take – AUTISM.”
“To all haters and losers: I am NOT anti-vaccine, but I am against shooting massive doses into tiny children. Spread shots out over time.”

It can’t get much clearer than that.

"the fact TRUMP is a self-made billionaire .."
He is not a self made billionaire-he got his money from his Daddy. Do you know for a fact that Trump is a self made billionaire? No one does, You know why? One glaring reason is he will not reveal his tax returns like other candidates-that would be the telling. Trump sued Timothy L. O’Brien because he exposed creditable information that Trump was not a billionaire. Granted he is an exceptionally rich man but the only way to be sure is through his tax returns.
"Those who think Trump is a “winner” ought to take a close look at Donald Trump v. Timothy L. O’Brien. Because Trump didn’t just lose the case. He was humiliated.

"do you disagree with Trump on these fundamental issues?
What fundamental issues? He's hasn't provided any policy statements. People are still waiting to hear how he would DO anything like govern. So do I disagree on his policies or fundamental issues-he has none and the little bit of alluding to what he would do experts say it would be a disaster.

Trump is NOT your choice. That's okay ..
It's obvious not OK by the way people come at me when I question them on specifics about Trump. Every comment I've posted has verifiable documentation with links where you can actually read or listen to what Trump himself has said and done (grab them by the pussy). Where is your verifiable information on the policies of Trump. Where is your verifiable information on the fact the Trump is a billionaire other than everybody knows this but really do they? Where is your verifiable evidence that the man is not a sexual predator and that he hasn’t a long consistent history of abusing women.

I don't need to be a Clinton supporter to see that despite the rhetoric on this comment board and others-no one has been able to provide verifiable information of her wrong doing. All you do is attack and continually report accusations without substantiating verifiable information. Everybody says she's a liar. Trump is a well known liar, a cheat and a con. (The Many Scandals of Donald Trump-A Cheat Sheet-
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/10/donald-trump-scandals/474726/)
I don't believe the Atlantic is a liberal news outlet but I'm not certain. Yes, there are similar articles on Clinton. This is not to compare lies-this is to demonstrate that Trump lies.

You say Clinton is a murder. That's she's had people killed. Who? Where the proof? Everyone is talking about Vince Foster supposeably because he was her lover. Ironic considering all the other comments online today talks about how she is Gay. Vince Fosters sister made it clear years ago that her brother was clinically depressed. That she had arranged for him to see a psychiatrist that the White House wasn’t aware of because if you’re seeing a psy most likely you would be let go. His sister said he was ill suited for the job that he was doing and also he was greatly concerned about the people he had talked Clinton (Bill) into hiring into the White House that were equally unsuited. He didn’t know what to do. His sister, Sheila Foster Anthony, in an article she wrote for the Washington Post this:
“This is scurrilous enough coming from right-wing political operatives who have peddled conspiracy theories about Vince’s death for more than two decades. How could this be coming from the presumptive Republican nominee for president?

Five investigations, including by independent counsels Robert B. Fiske Jr. and Kenneth Starr, concluded that Vince suffered from severe depression that caused him to be unable to sleep, unable to work, unable to think straight, and finally to take his own life.

I know this to be true because Vince lived with me when he came to Washington to serve as deputy counsel to the president. This is a grueling job in any administration, especially so at the start, and in the case of the Clinton White House, the counsel’s office — and Vince — were consumed with problems, including over the firing of employees in the White House travel office. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/vince-foster-was-my-brother-donald-trump-should-be-ashamed/2016/05/26/95c684f2-233f-11e6-8690-f14ca9de2972_story.html?utm_term=.7d9691c1e9fd

-Benghazi: Wow people had have their heads explode over Benghazi and the 4 deaths there. I don’t even want to pretend I can feel the kind of loss the family endured when this happened but to keep profaning the memories of the people who died by using them as some political poisons dart is beyond repugnant. Any death is tragic but the situation should be put into perspective. When an individual signs up to work in a foreign country in a hostile environment they know that there is the chance they could be harmed or worse. It’s part of the job. It’s not expected but it is a reality. My brother was in NSA on foreign soil and he knew the risk. Clinton was Secretary of State and you guys and the republicans tried to hold her accountable for their deaths citing lack of security. Some of you have either short memories or no memories of what has occurred to Americans on Foreign soil.

My first political shakeup was during the Reagan Administration and the bombing in Beirut.
Ronald Reagan’s Benghazi: http://www(dot)newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/ronald-reagans-benghazi-
Around dawn on October 23, 1983, I was in Beirut, Lebanon, when a suicide bomber drove a truck laden with the equivalent of twenty-one thousand pounds of TNT into the heart of a U.S. Marine compound, killing two hundred and forty-one servicemen. The U.S. military command, which regarded the Marines’ presence as a non-combative, “peace-keeping mission,” had left a vehicle gate wide open, and ordered the sentries to keep their weapons unloaded. The only real resistance the suicide bomber had encountered was a scrim of concertina wire. Thirteen more American servicemen later died from injuries, making it the single deadliest attack on American Marines since the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Six months earlier, militants had bombed the U.S. embassy in Beirut, too, killing sixty-three more people, including seventeen Americans. Among the dead were seven C.I.A. officers, including the agency’s top analyst in the Middle East, an immensely valuable intelligence asset, and the Beirut station chief. In March of 1984, three months after Congress issued its report, militants struck American officials in Beirut again, this time kidnapping the C.I.A.’s station chief, Bill Buckley. Buckley was tortured and, eventually, murdered.

That's 305 for Ronnie Reagan. Those 241 deaths was attributed to LACK OF SECURITY: From the article: "The only real resistance the suicide bomber had encountered was a scrim of concertina wire. "

63 were killed. The House issued a report finding “very serious errors in judgment” by officers on the ground, as well as responsibility up through the military chain of command, and called for better security measures against terrorism in U.S. government installations throughout the world.

The 1 remaining death, C.I.A.’s station chief, Bill Buckley was also attributed to a security lapse.
Reagan has NEVER been held accountable for this. The republicans in congress let him slide.
Top 10 Attacks on US Embassies in Republican Administrations that Lindsey Graham doesn’t Care about: http://www.(dot)juancole.com/2014/05/embassies-republican-administrations.html

Than there is this:
When Bush Sr. was president, there were 13 embassy or consulate attacks. 98 people were killed.
January 22, 2002. Calcutta, India. Five people are killed. June 14, 2002. Karachi, Pakistan. 12 killed. October 12, 2002. Denpasar, Indonesia. February 28, 2003. Islamabad, Pakistan. Two people are killed. May 12, 2003. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 36 killed. July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Two killed. December 6, 2004. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Nine killed. March 2, 2006. Karachi, Pakistan again. Four killed including U.S. diplomat David Foy. This is the third Karachi terrorist attack in four years. September 12, 2006. Damascus, Syria. Four killed. January 12, 2007. Athens, Greece. March 18, 2008. Sana'a, Yemen. Two killed. July 9, 2008. Istanbul, Turkey. Six killed. September 17, 2008. Sana'a, Yemen. Sixteen killed. This is the second attack on this embassy in seven months.

Bill Clinton: 23 deaths on foreign soil. Some military and some embassy personnel.

George Bush Jr. 58 deaths of foreign soil connected to embassies. Iraq War for Oil & Profit-George Jr. Millions around the world have died and are still dying as a result of that LIE. In fact so many have died for Bush's war that Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfwith, Rice and others have been tried as WAR CRIMINALS AT THE HAGUE and convicted.

The Pentagon reported Friday that 265 active-duty service members killed themselves last year, continuing a trend of unusually high suicide rates that have plagued the U.S. military for at least seven years. That's since 2001. THAT'S BUSH'S WAR.

So lets hold every administration, Presidnet and their Secretary of State responsible for all of these. But as you can see the number of people killed on the republican watch far exceeds the 4 in Benghazi. You can justify your outrage any number of ways and you will but the numbers don’t lie. More personnel have been killed on foreign soil attached to embassies or wars on Republican Watch-where is that outrage?

The Clinton Foundation is at least Registered. Trump’s foundation is not.
Trump Foundation Tells New York It Has Stopped Soliciting After State Order:
“The developments come about two weeks after the attorney general’s office ordered the foundation to stop soliciting charitable contributions in the state of New York, saying that the nonprofit was not properly registered to do so under state law.”
http://www.nytimes(dot)com/2016/10/18/us/politics/trump-foundation-tells-new-york-it-has-stopped-soliciting-after-state-order.html?_r=0.Until this situation is fully investigated you really can’t make a comparison.

Clinton’s involvement with Monsanto. Well known. What’s not well know is Trumps stock holdings in Monsanto as well as other pharmaceutical holdings. Trump owns stock in as Pfeifer, Gilead Sciences, Johnson and Johnson, Celgene, McKesson, and Bristol-Myers Squibb and Monsanto according to the stock portfolio on Business Insider: http://www.businessinsider(dot)com/donald-trumps-stock-portfolio-2015-7. Warning if you have an ad blocker on this will not display properly.

So what Trump isn’t getting thru the front door he’s getting in the back door and that’s profits from the pharmaceutical industry which is the manufactures of vaccines.

Again, Bill Clinton isn’t running for President.

George Stevens
I have thoroughly researches vaccines -they do't work. If you have read any of my post on vaccines that's is obvious. I have also researched Trump AND Clinto AND Johnson and Stine.

I really resent the implication that I am ignorant and addled because I doesn't fall into line with others on this website. I don't insult your intelligent so I would appreciate it others did not insult mine.

Danchi so you believe the media on trump but what do you believe when it comes to vaccines and autism and what does the media tell you there?

Benedetta! You cannot infer from anything that is said here that anybody is lying. I am talking about my impression and how Donald Trump comes across to me. If you prefer that I say that Donald is making friendly hand-signals, let that be your opinion. CNN people didn't see it that way. Donald has a history. That history is well-known. He has gone into bankruptcy and avoided paying workmen and contractors. He has said "you are fired" many times without blinking an eye. Donald may be against or for vaccines; all these pictures are being portrayed here. I am not commenting in order to annoy. I am commenting to bring some sense into the discussion.

I do feel for the beauty queen.
She did not put on some weight, she put on about 100 pounds.

Trump turned it around as a victory of look - she fought this and won.

The beauty queen had to be sick with endocrine/hormone problems.

And you know I bet she has some kind of bipolar going on too.
My guess; vaccine injury/immune problems/hormones

I speak from experience on this one. Yeah, I had a teeny tiny daughter that also suddenly gained 100 pounds with in a few months. IT took a great deal to turn that around. Low carbs, no wheat, extensive exercise. Mine even got a buffalo hump on her back as in cushings. Scary times we live in .
I see vaccine damages left and right.
Bipolar is deep in this too. Geesh.

The beauty queen showed some pretty poor judgment too - some thing about a robbery or was it murder - and driving her boyfriend? Not sure.

Trump talked them in to not getting rid of her.

Oh, what a bad guy!

I agree with Benedetta. From what I have read, Donald Trump has used those movements to give his impression of someone who is backed into a corner, under pressure, and does not know what to say or do. Other than this reporter (who does not flap), he used these movements when talking about Ted Cruz and a general, if I remember correctly. Neither of those people have a disability as far as I know. Therefore, Trump was not mocking anyone with a disability, or any other kind of obvious physical issues.

Benedetta, you are calling Clinton a liar for something that was pointed out by numerous viewers and commentators before she even mentioned it. You might disagree with this interpretation of what happened during the debate, but it is a stretch to call it a lie. As for moving in front of Trump, it is normal during a townhall debate to approach the person asking the question, which is what Clinton did. Maybe Trump didn’t realize this but he should have moved back or to the side as a courtesy, to give her some space, instead of appearing to lurk behind her.

Trump himself appears to have no regard for the truth whatsoever. It just doesn’t seem to matter to him. He is on record — and on film — saying numerous things that he categorically denied having said afterwards, sometimes within minutes of making the initial statement.

I was done with the Dems when Obama signed the Monsanto Protection Act.

Cait from Canada: Funny that you should use the word "dangerous" to describe Trump. I heard a long main stream media recording of all their reporters repeatedly using this term (the most recent buzz word to describe Trump) in recent "news." These people can't even use synonyms!

I hate pulling a Alec Baldwin/Barbra Streisand, but if we have mandatory vaccines, I WILL have to leave the US. I've told anyone who will listen that my kids will be vaxxed again over my cold, dead body.

I entertained myself with some old YouTube videos of the late, great Christopher Hitchens opining on the Clintons--well worth a listen.

Cait, unfortunately imo Hilary is bought and paid for. She already knows vaccines are safe and she wants everyone to have them.
I'm an independent voter, lean toward democrat. But I have seen California, and the taking away of basic medical rights, including the right to education in vaccine injured children who refuse further vaccines. How can I support that?
Forced vaccination or isolation from school; I will stand against that. And it is not theoretical. It is already happening. Hilary may care about children in theory, but in practice she is already supporting people choosing to force potential injury on them.
Can't find the exact quote, but Terry Pratchett once said something about evil coming quietly in the day, on lists...

Dan O., re: your original post, you expressed annoyance at the conflation of autism with a joint abnormality. But seriously, do you think Donald Trump requested a diagnosis before deciding to mock the disabled reporter? He was mocking the flapping, not the specific condition. He could just as easily have been mocking someone with autism. And I think that is the point the mother was making.

I completely agree with Danchi's posts. Donald Trump is completely beyond the pale, in fact, I think he is seriously deranged and potentially dangerous. I find it disturbing that so many AoA readers are willing to overlook his abhorrent behavior and attitudes because he has made a few offhand comments about autism and vaccination. I recall he said at one point that you'd have to look at the studies. But did he ever take the time to look at those studies? I don't think so.

I understand the concerns about Hillary's pro-vaccine stance. But she is intelligent and thoughtful, and in my view more concerned about your children and grandchildren than Trump will ever be. If she is elected you will need to lobby her or someone close to her to actually sit down and read the studies. People can change their minds. I know I did, and probably most of you did too.

@ Danchi .. you wrote:

"Everyone talks about Trump when he's President will do this that or the other yet NO ONE has been able to provide documentation or comments of Trump where he says what in would do"

You have to be more specific than this .. Trump has said he is going to build a wall .. going to renegotiate disastrous trade deals .. especially NAFTA .. is firmly against the proposed TPP .. will impose extreme vetting of immigrants from countries known to be safe-havens for terrorists .. eliminate as best he can the disastrous ACA .. on and on.

You write: "Please state specifically what a President can do".

A President "selects" the people who will preside over the vast .. "unelected" federal regulatory bureaucracy .. HHS, CDC, EPA, FAA, etc.... which is where the "real" power in Washington D.C. lies .. not to mention "nominating conservative Supreme Court Justices". How about Trump finding a position for Dr. Ben Carson .. say .. Surgeon General?

You write: "President will have to be vetted by Congress and the Senate. Just about all of them are on the pharma teat. Do you honestly think they are going to bite the hand that feeds them"

Say what you want .. but .. the fact TRUMP is a self-made billionaire .. rather than a "career politician" who .. alongside her "career politician" husband became "multimillionaires" while ostensibly "public servants" .. is .. to me .. far less likely to "bite the hand" that has fed them their entire careers.

In any event .. do you disagree with Trump on these fundamental issues? If so .. there is no sense in talking about it .. Trump is NOT your choice. That's okay .. we ALL have a right to choose whomever we choose. So .. let's agree to disagree .. and .. leave it at that. Okay?

I fore see that my family all vaccine injuried might be lining up for more vaccines in two years from now. Forced to get their vaccines to keep jobs, disability, Medicare.

The CDC if not stopped will do this. California has already got the kids - now for the adults.

In two years time it is coming.

I know that is hard to believe Danchi.
Just like it was hard to believe that my son at nine months of age was having a vaccine reaction
Just like it was hard to believe my daughter at age 27 had bipolar and I found her cutting imaginary bot worms out of her arms when she was in psychosis. Lots of stuff I find hard to believe that has happened. When I think on my life - I keep shaking my head - in disbelief.

Now; all that shaking my head - I am awake. It is very possible even probable that in two years time My whole family will be forced to get vaccines if HIllary wins. It is coming - it is coming And you better believe it.

For me it feels wrong, the last couple of election cycles, to vote, and I was one who always tried to make sure I did ( I thought I tried to be an educated voter too, though I hardly had the ability to be, I now think).

I can't really say why for sure either (that I feel I shouldn't vote)--I was well taught, or something, that it is an important civic duty. I've heard suggestions that mail-in ballots are particularly susceptible to being digitally stored on file for data mining or monitoring I guess, and it's hard for me to go to a polling place for health reasons, so maybe that's just a personal guiding feeling. I know the system is manipulated and rife with fraud, criminal activity really, and so maybe that should indicate a good enough of a reason.

I watched a documentary of sorts about the Kennedy assassination (and I can't say whether it was all documentable as fact), but just learned of enough verifiable previously unknown (to me) aspects of that event that I'm pretty certain a president with integrity and courage would also have to take an army (or at least a major security detail loyal to him/her or the law of the land) with him/her to the White House as well as to Congress and spend quite a bit of time un-entrenching and undoing the work of those with different loyalties/values to get anything done we hope to be done.

Did you know there was a constitutional amendment ratified by enough states to make it the law of the land that no one with a title bestowed by a foreign entity (I'm wording this all badly probably) could hold elected office that was just somehow (conveniently?) left off most of the printed forms of the constitution until forgotten? I understand this was mainly directed at preventing lawyers licensed under the bar in the UK from holding office...so if we wanted to get back to the basic rule of law would everything done by such individuals be voided, etc. In fact, you didn't have to be a licensed anything to act as an "attorney" in court in the U.S. We have all these interdicting systems of control now that could be argued are completely unlawful. We have a lost (ignored) constitutional amendment and now we don't even bother with the amendment process when making fundamentally unconstitutional changes to our system. The president just declares he now has the right to kill people with a secret "due process" process, for instance.

Just venting some despondency here I guess, because I feel responsible to participate in making a healthy community with integrity of law and basic decency upheld, and "voting" was the easy way to feel like I did my part.

I now tell myself I "voted" for the organic farmers over the mountain range this week (and most weeks) instead of the chain grocery stores stocked with mega food conglomerates' products. I "vote" (maybe even a little more than vote sometimes) most days for healthcare reform to a system that respects right to personal choice, bodily integrity, informed consent, particularly regarding vaccination, or at least the right to operate outside of the system. I tell myself these things, but ... it's not anywhere near enough.

Danchi-

Very interesting that you won't watch Clinton Cash. Reminds me of those who won't watch Vaxxed or Brexit the Movie. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Also interesting that you have no response to Trump's Generation Rescue donation or meeting with Wakefield-both highly significant.

As for stock ownership, almost everyone with an index fund in their 401(k) will own pharma and Monsanto stock-the relevant measure will be who the donors support, and that is Hillary.

As for sexual predation, the Clintons are second to none in that arena, with Hillary acting as chief enabler to Bill and chief character assassinator of the victims. A real champion of women.

And on Russia, you might want to check out what Dr. Jill Stein has to say about Hillary vs. Trump. And Julian Assange has all put identified Seth Rich as Wikileaks source for the Bernie shenanigans within the Democratic Party, and stated specifically that the leak was not from Russia.

But at the end of the day, vote for Hillary if you must.

Bob
If you think Dr. Wakefield's meeting with Trump on this "precise issue" .. is worthy of consideration by our long suffering community?

I bleed for these children. I have grandchildren that have been harmed by vaccines and children in my family who have been diagnosed as autistic. These children are long suffering and should be given priority but what can ANY PRESIDENT do. Everyone talks about Trump when he's President will do this that or the other yet NO ONE has been able to provide documentation or comments of Trump where he says what in would do. Please state specifically what a President can do. Everything that's done by any President will have to be vetted by Congress and the Senate. Just about all of them are on the pharma teat. Do you honestly think they are going to bite the hand that feeds them? In fact Trump stated this:

-"If I were President I would push for proper vaccinations but would not allow one time massive shots that a small child cannot take" - AUTISM. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 27, 2014
His views are clear . Trump says “he favors vaccines”. He’s say’s he’s not Anti-Vaxx and "The bottom line is they have to get vaccinated." Trump quotes. Where is the wiggle room in those statements?

What the hell? Between his tweets and his comment in the Sharyl Atkisson can the man be any more clear and concise? I have never said the vaccine issue should not be a priority. What I continue to say and will continue to say is Trump will NOT do anything in regards to vaccines. All his comment have validated his support of Vaccines. He states: I AM PRO-VACCINE. He or his campaign have not even mentioned the word Vaccine since April 10, 2016. What you and others are looking for is not there by Trumps own declarations and people who continue to support will be gravely disappointed.

I'm a pragmatist. The pattern of behavior that Trump has exhibited over the years (my insight into Trump are not recent-I've been around a while and Trump has been a media darling for decades so his antics are well know to many) is alarming. It's apparent he is a narcissist personality but I think he also suffers from what someone termed PPP3:
Pervasive Predatory Pattern.
Trumps statements only confirm what Trump says he did. "You can do anything when you are a star".

There are now 12 women who have accused Trump of inappropriate behavior:
Sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump: 12 women say he groped, kissed, or assaulted them
http://www.vox.com/2016/10/12/13265206/trump-accusations-sexual-assault.

The fact that Trump has actively encouraged Putin & Russia to interfere in American's political process should be alarming to any American. If the Russian' hacked the DNC what's going to stop them from hacking more sensitive areas of the American government? Everybody thinks oh yea Wikileaks lets bring on the emails but the emails haven't affected policy changes in the government and again-the emails were sent by Russia to Wikileaks, another foreign entity to interfere with the political processes of American. How do you know the contents of the emails haven't been altered? If the Russians can hack they can certainly manipulate the contents.

Yes, the children deserve far better that what they have received. Yes, it would be awesome if Clinton & Wakefield met. It would also be awesome if there is an America not being manipulated and run by a foreign country which allows other foreigners to not manipulate not only the population thru propaganda which is a specialty of Putin being he's a former KGB officer, but the ignorant elected officials into doing their bidding because they are too busy hating on a single individual without looking to the big picture. I don't want my grandchildren to grow up in a country where the leader of the free world is a known:
racist
bigot
sexual predatory
misogynistic
and someone who sexualizes his daughter openly in the media
by his own comments.

A Democratic voting for Trump:
I don't need to research them, I lived through it.

You dont even know the person you're supporting. Monsanto-seriously?
Here is what has been revealed about Trumps stock holding via the little information he has allowed to come out:
*Trump does have stock in GSK, Bristol Meyer Squib, Gilead Sciences, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer (#1 profiteer), *******Monsanto*******, Johnson and Johnson. Look up the tax form that is online. Everyone claims that Trump is not establishment and won't take money from pharma. He doesn't have to take it upfront-he owns stock in it. He gets money thru the backdoor.

"You seem to want a candidate that is completely anti-vaccine and has stated so. "
I want a candidate that is not a sexual predator.

The way I say it, with Hillary we have no chance of advancing our cause and getting help for our kids; with Trump, we might

Please don't tell me to research anything. I am well researched. Just the fact that you don't even know that Trump has substantial stock in pharma and MONSANTO tells me you're only researching things that validate what you're looking for not what's actual there.

All the candidates suck but you know what my biggest concern as an American is Trumps encouragement of Putin and Russia to involve itself in the affairs of the United States. What kind of American wants that? You have Russia feeding Wiki leaks, another foreigner, information that they hacked from the DNC giving it to Trump. What makes you think that this type of security breech will stop here? What's going to stop Russia from breaching the CIA, NSA, the Pentagon, HLS and more sensitive areas of the US government? Putin is former KGB-do you think for one minute with his hatred of the West that this will be a one time deal? Are you that naive? Putin is scared of Clinton because she knows things about him that can block his gaining the presidency in Russia for a 3rd term. He hates her because he thinks that she did when he tried to get a 3rd term when she was Secretary of State.

I'm an American I am concerned beyond 1 issue in a presidential elections. There are multitudes of issues that challenge America-not just one.

You still haven't provided any verifiable documentation that confirms that Trump is good for children. You also have not provided any information that states Clinton will implement mandatory vaccination.

I guess the entire future of the United States might be based on someone using a few “bad words.”

It is very well known from the military staff in the White House that “first lady Hillary” often used “bad words as a greeting” on a day to day basis.

The military staffer would say “good morning” and Hillary would simply respond ...FU... depending on what type of day she was having.

This conduct would make a great debate question or perhaps a charming commercial.

Bob Moffit! I have heard Dr. Wakefield say these words, or something close to that, in a video.

We are on the verge of living in a medical dictatorship. If Hillary is elected we'll probably have to stop being law abiding citizens or be force vaccinated. We'll have to lie, use fake documents, or pay vast amounts of money to get exemptions--not just kids, all of us. There are no easy answers in this election because Hillary seems vaccine injured herself, but the people who support her are the corporate globalists who it seems have big plans to dissolve sovereign nation and then of course our rights with it.

Several years ago my husband and I were traveling in Germany and our guide told us about how the EU came about. First it was just economic, etc; but then one day, he said, we just woke up and there it was. We belonged to the EU who made the decisions for us and we no longer had a country. So it's not stated directly but the idea is to undermine our constitution by displacing our country with the North American Union. And now Wikileaks confirms that this is exactly what Hillary wants to do. What would it be like to live in the U.S. but not have constitutional rights? Plus the corporate media has already shown us how disgusting they are when it comes to parental choice in vaccines. They are so on the side of Hillary, and so we already know where they all stand on this. I'm spooked. GO TRUMP!!

Danchi-

With respect, I would ask you to research who the Clintons really are, and not take anything Hillary says at face value. You might want to start with the Clinton Cash book or documentary (available on youtube for free).

You seem to want a candidate that is completely anti-vaccine and has stated so. There is no such candidate. Hillary has made an absolute statement about vaccines being "safe", and is a tremendous friend and promoter of both big Pharma and big food (particularly Monsanto). She will continue to expand on Obamacare, which will end with only "evidence-based medical care" (as mainstream medicine will define it and that means psych drugs for our kids, along with mandatory vaccination) being available or perhaps even legal. Trump has donated to Generation Rescue, met personally with Andrew Wakefield and publicly stated that he has grave concerns about vaccines, including making a connection to autism. He is also royally pissed off about the way disabled vets are being treated (and has promised to reform the VA), and does not believe we should have a Darwinian medical care model-this points to someone who actually cares about the welfare of those in need.

The way I say it, with Hillary we have no chance of advancing our cause and getting help for our kids; with Trump, we might.

At least Hillary has an autism plan, where she talks about the need for support for children and adults with autism and their caretakers.

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2016/01/05/hillary-clintons-plan-to-support-children-youth-and-adults-living-with-autism-and-their-families/

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/autism/

And she has a disability rights page.
https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/disability-rights/

Yes, there is no mention of vaccines causing autism.

But Donald Trump's site doesn't even mention autism nor disabilities.
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/

I have more hope for educating Hillary about vaccine problems than for Trump to do anything worthwhile.

Re: "Trump claims he didn't remember the reporter and was just lampooning his excitedness, not his illness."

Trump was definitely mocking that reporter's disability. He said, '“Now, the poor guy, you ought to see this guy…" and held his right arm in the same position that the reporter holds his shriveled right arm. Yes the reporter doesn't flap, and Trump was flapping. No, we don't have reason to believe that Trump was making fun of autistic people, but he was making fun of a disability. This is what he always does; he lashes out at people who cross him.

"Trump claims he did not know Kovaleski, but the reporter closely covered Trump’s troubled business dealings while he was a reporter for the N.Y. Daily News between 1987 and 1993.

"'Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years,' Kovaleski told the Times in November. 'I’ve interviewed him in his office,' he added. 'I’ve talked to him at press conferences. All in all, I would say around a dozen times, I’ve interacted with him as a reporter while I was at The Daily News.' In particular, Kovaleski covered the launch of the Trump Shuttle, spending the day with Trump in 1989 when the airline launched with typical Trump brashness."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/08/02/donald-trumps-revisionist-history-of-mocking-a-disabled-reporter/

Trump constantly lies.

Nothing you have said could make me believe Hillary is morally superior to Trump. I think it's quite the opposite. A "sexual predictor?" You must watch a lot of CNN and read the NY Times etc. who are all pro- Democrat. I'm with Gayle and Bayareamom, and I absolutely believe that Dr. Wakefield has very much looked into the candidates and has a studied opinion on them. Vote Hillary and your freedoms are all gone. Watch it happen. Except luckily I think the sheeple have woken up, seen more alternative media, and will turn out in droves to vote Trump!

Thank you, Danchi!!

Ben Carson is fighting hard for Trump. I think there is an alliance there since the first night of the Republican debate.
I was quick to judge Ben Carson. I thought he was probably bought and paid for, but he stood there that night and told the truth about vaccines.

I sure hope they win.

Bob Moffit - I heard it out of his mouth from a U tube video.

Is my memory correct that he or was it some one else said that two years into Hillary rein - there would be mandatory vaccines?

I got more riding on this election than I can barely stand; my nerves on end.

A Democrat voting for Trump
Trump doesn't give a flip about your kids or his own. Here is a statement he made to Howard Stern:

In a separate 2005 interview in April, Trump talked about how he wanted to have more kids with newlywed wife Melania: “I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them.”
Audio: https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/donald-trump-said-a-lot-of-gross-things-about-women-on-howar?utm_term=.urWwOKyX9#.ecKVq2lp9

“‘Cause I like kids,” said Trump. “I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them. I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park.”

I have heard it all, seen it all, evaluated it all, and prayed over it all. I can state resolutely and with pride that I am 100 percent all in for Trump. He is not just the only presidential candidate but the only elected official of any stripe that is ever going to order a completely independent study of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children in the U.S. Hillary Clinton would never allow such a study to take place on her clock. And if it did somehow manage to get done without her knowledge, she would waste no time burying the results, along with the researchers who got those results. I am not even speaking figuratively, unfortunately. She has been playing this game her entire life.

And to those who were holding their breath waiting for Jason Chaffetz to "look into" the Thompson whistleblower story, I say to you now, please take a breath for goodness sake. It is never going to happen. Not ever.

To those who argue that a Trump presidency is not good for our nation's children, I would say to you that under Hillary it simply won't matter what kind of role model our children have, because within the next 20 years, they are all going to be so mentally handicapped that they won't know the difference anyway.

Your traditional beliefs and hopes in Political Parties have been hijacked by money and greed in my opinion .The Political Parties in the UK were the same and are seeing massive changes back to what they stood for when they were first conceived not what they stood for over the past 20 years. Erosion to the party grassroots will take years to heal. Hilary is still doing damage to the party she stands for and Trump is getting the party he stands for back after years of pseudo beliefs.The Democratic party will definitely loose and I am going to have a bet on that one right now.

MMR RIP

@Bob Moffit:

"To me, this is a one issue election .. use your vote extremely carefully. There is one person, whatever else you may think about him, who has expressed the fact that he knowns vaccines cause autism, that vaccine damage is real ... and this is an issue that will never .. in his mind lead to mandatory vaccinations .... and I had the privilege of meeting him the other day to discuss this precise issue & he is on our side. Whatever else you may thing, I want you to bear that in mind. I'm not going to tell you how to vote .. but I will say that we will not get a second chance, with Hillary Clinton getting in ... if she gets in .. there will be mandatory adult and childhood vaccinations around the entire country"

Has ANYONE from AoA or the Canary Party "confirmed" these comments as being Dr Wakefield's?"

YES. I can most definitely state that Andrew Wakefield DID state the above. I saw and heard him state this during one of his many lectures during the Vaxxed bus tour. In fact, he has stated as such on more than one occasion.

He's made it abundantly clear that he feels it's all over if Hillary is voted into office.

Really? We cannot figure this out? Hillary does not give a rip about our kids. She is a masterful liar on almost every issue, including this one. Donald Trump is a coarse oaf, but he gets the vaccine issue and has a heart. He has donated a significant sum to Generation Rescue (against whom Hillary's PR firms are leading a hate/disinformation campaign), helped raise money for at least one autism charity I know of in the tri-state area, and would likely put the right people into leadership roles at HHS, CDC and DOD. If you vote for Hillary, get ready for mandatory vaccines for everyone. Get ready eventually to not be able to board a train or plane unless you're compliant with whatever schedule her minions put into place.

And for Bob Moffitt, Wakefield put in a plug for Trump at the NYC screening of Vaxxed-I was there and heard it.

@Bob Moffit, I usually type Vaxxed or Vaxxed Bus Tour into youtube and I know I have seen Dr. Wakefield speaking those words on one of the videos. I was rather surrpised to see him do that. . I wish that I could believe that this election were as simple as that.
