Her latest? But I really do think it's a savior. I see. So injecting kids with scientifically-proven medicine that can save their lives and the lives of countless others is bad because of a fantasy-driven belief that it causes autism, but injecting a lethal pathogen -- in fact, the most lethal protein known -- into your face to help ease the globally threatening scourge of crow's feet is just fine and dandy.
Got it. Oh, say: can you excuse me a second? I need to go over here for a sec If you want a little vaccination against her nonsense, read this spot-on op-ed in a student newspaper. It's good to see some folks get it. Register or Log In. The Magazine Shop. Do I think people have responsibility for their words and actions?
If someone makes a company money, they are going to stay by them. Just look at R. It was only two weeks ago that his record label dropped him because public pressure reached a point where they had to.
No one is going to do it on their own. I wish people did have stronger moral fiber at times. But companies are motivated by press and money.
Those sorts of protests and grassroots organizing have worked in other ways. Why do you think people choose to listen to anti-vax celebrities like Jenny McCarthy? They consider vaccination a personal choice. There is a disconnect.
Especially with children. It becomes emotional. It becomes what feels right. Does it feel right to see your child scream and cry while somebody puts a needle into them? You mean a parent who chooses to not vaccinate their child and they get measles? If you ask We just want there to be some type of conversation, once. What is your reaction? And you know what? Delay them till age 2. Skip some that you might not need. I think I would have skipped the chicken pox.
I had it when I was little. If a parent decides not to vaccinate or to delay a vaccination, it can pose a risk to another child with a low immune system. It must frustrate you to hear that. I can understand where people think it compromises other children who have weak immune systems. Way too much conflict of interest. Like Paul Offit, who profits off of the vaccine he invented [Offit is a co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine RotaTeq], is the expert on television and on boards to say which vaccines are safe and which vaccines belong on the schedule, including his own.
To me, planting seeds of doubt would be exhausting, to try to show the bad guys. But to go around and plant seeds of doubt, to me, is a dead end. Can you please spend more than seven minutes with me to talk about these adverse effects? And by the way, what is in this shot? Is there mercury still in the shot? I have two shadows per class in my school.
I was born in We had one ADD [attention deficit disorder] kid in a school of 2, Science has looked at mercury, the MMR, and has not been able to prove a link between these and autism. Why is the target moving? Is it the schedule? Is there just too many? Some parents saw their child only get a flu shot, which has mercury in it, and boom, fall off the wagon — meaning loss of the ability of eye contact, no more babbling.
And this is after one shot. We get phone calls from farmers who have children who — they just sprayed their fields, and their child regressed into autism. So is it one thing? But what is a common factor? Thirty-six shots on the schedule, none of which have been ever studied for combination.
Of course. Aluminum is the other devil, so to speak. Do you follow Dr. Evan is now 7 years old, so the only shots I think that he would possibly ever require by a school would be what? Now, I would be part of that personal reasons that I would exempt Evan from getting vaccinated. And if I had another child, would I vaccinate? No, based on the family history of myself, my ex-husband now, and my son, Evan, that we have autoimmune disorders in our family. Oh, yes.
Your child should delay vaccines. Jenny, living in this globalized world, with international travel, having undervaccinated children, how do you weigh the risk analysis? Evan received the majority of his vaccines. My concern is not so much about any viruses, honestly, Evan will acquire. My major concern is the fevers that he might get from the regular flu. That is much more common and scary to me, because Evan still has his seizure disorder.
The last one was over six hours. To me, the common fever scares me. My concern is as scary as a sneeze from someone else. So my concern lies elsewhere other than diseases.
Can you speak to the risk of viruses coming in and affecting an un- or undervaccinated population? Obviously, if polio came back with a vengeance, I think the unvaccinated children should get a polio vaccine.
Or parents, like I said, who have children with autism might take their chances on the measles after witnessing their children regress with autism. But we want answers to our questions, and they refuse to talk to us. Take a look at our hyperbaric chamber treatments and our diet and our vitamins. It took a parent to take medicine into their own hands, so to speak, to save their child.
