Monday Morning Moaning: Sensory Friendly Vaccine Clinic

Vaccine piper"patient and family guidance from onsite experts in autism, disability, and accommodation" ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Olmsted Medical Center will be hosting a sensory- friendly vaccine clinic in November.

The irony of the clinic name "Olmsted" is not lost on us. What is a sensory friendly vaccine clinic? Can they suppress the screaming and crying of the participants? They can't tamp down ours. The program is sponsored by the Autism Society of Minnesota's initiative.

Vaccine Education Initiative: National Initiative Making Local Impact

As an affiliate of The Autism Society of America, AuSM shares the national org’s belief that improving the vaccination experience is a critical step toward achieving more equitable healthcare for people with autism and all neurodiverse individuals. As part of our strategic partnership on health equity, the Vaccine Education Initiative (VEI) is a national program that AuSM implements locally to address systemic barriers while promoting vaccine education, confidence, and access.

IMPROVING THE EXPERIENCE? Yeah, we'd like to discuss that. ACCESS?  You can get a vaccine on every street corner in the USA. SYSTEMIC BARRIERS? Maybe that's us!  The Autism Society of America was founded by Dr. Bernie Rimland almost 60 years ago with the loftiest of intentions. Each individual and family has the right to choose the services that best meet their individual needs.

Thanks to Wayne Rohde for sharing this story.

Thanks, Wayne for this reporting. Not lost on me either that the city if the hiome of the Mayo Clinic. In Florida's Mayo Clinic they still serve up Rendesivir for covid instead of Ivermectin.

"a national program that AuSM implements locally to address systemic barriers while promoting vaccine education"

I think you would call this tax-free pharma advertising.
Who at the IRS approved this 501c3? This should be investigated.

Hey; I got a cousin that has a granddaughter that has autism. She is not dignosed, but it is not lost on my cousin, that she and my son are so similar in so many ways. Her periods ae painful, she is highly anxious, would never go out and look for a job on her own, scared to drive, no dating, interests are intense but limited. Well all of that, and we know all of that.

Yet, my cousin's daughter gets all her vaccines, every covid booster there is, and doesn't forget the flu shot. She makes sure her grown daughter does too. By the way the daughter had shingles, shortly after a fifth or sixth covid booster and just claimes she was just getting old. She is in her mid 40s. She now has an autoimmune disease that sounds like those little cyst they found under the sheeps skin in Spain I sent her the study, with a briefexplaination (not easy to be brief for me). She also has them in her lumbar spine, the end of her pancreas, and some where else - I don't remember.

Total waste of my time.

Why would anyone with an autistic child take them for a vaccine of any kind?
