Twilah's voice is desperately needed at the IACC. IACC has been a waste and Twilah should be chairing it.

Here is what happened in our family:
In the late 1930's, early 1940's: My uncle as a toddler went catatonic after a shot that I later found out would have had mercury. He recovered, but was very ADD. He lined up all the shoes in the house, he married at 19, had 7 children, drove a truck, read novels, created beautiful art. He was a wonderful story teller who could light up a room. He was an alchoholic from age 12 (the silent kind who just slept) but overcame it with the help of his loving family.
My uncle's little brother never got the shots because back then, doctors paid attention to reactions. He became a lawyer, very prosperous, with an amazing career, top schools.
My mother who was older, did get the shots. She did not react overtly, but as a child was so out of control she would sit on the roof at age 3, and ended up being sent to live with cousins on a farm (which caused its own traumas til they returned her). She recovered to marry my Dad and was fine until, working at a nursing home, she was forced to get flu shots every year. Now she is in the same nursing home, with alzheimers.
My sister, at age 4, was incubating chicken pox when she got whatever was standard back in 1962 for age 4. She was so sick for a week from the shot the doctor almost hospitalized her. She recovered, but they skipped the small pox shot for me, because of my eczema as well. Becaause doctors at that time were empowered to see patterns. (By the way, eczema is a reaction to heavy metals. There's a pubmed to that and I think its the marker we are all looking for as far as--don't vaccinate a child who develops eczema).
I was born with an eye that 'wandered' which I now know can be a sign of mercury poisoning. Given my Mom played with mercury from thermometers as a child, and had a mouth full of fillings, of course.
Later, I get all the vaccines they tell me to when pregnant. I can't even get contractions with the drugs they give me to induce. Finally, a C section. Baby perfect. He gets the hep B shot hours later, and ends up in the NICU. But I don't put the pieces together. He is put on IV antibiotics for something they never do figure out. Because it's the shots! He recovers, over and over, each 2 months, from the shots that make him sick, until the MMR puts him over into autism land. Finally, I listen to all the voices that have warned me. Finally I stop his shots and start him on the path to recovery. Finally, my mother tells me all these family stories that she had forgotten might still be relevant.
My point: The dose makes the poison. Each generation is more grieviously harmed. As some of the children of the 40s and 50s grew up, their bodies gradually chelated the mercury and they "grew out of it". Others never did, but if they got reinjured with amalgams or other shots or toxic exposures . . here we go again. My other point: Had we been told the truth so long ago, that some families should not vaccinate, so very many of us with these histories, would have seen signs so much sooner or avoided this to begin with.

Good till the last paragraph. Seemed like the writer was doing the same things that she commented on others doing

I really like this article for a couple reasons. First, it's written in the first person which provides a special credibility and second it possesses a serious depth of thought. Nice work

IMO, one of the most profound articles on the subject I have ever read. It should be required reading for all persons that do work in the public sector - Doctors, lawyers, educators, elected public officials etc. Thanks to the author for writing it and this site for posting it.
