Dear Friends,
I am posting this because in this entire vaccination-damage debate the groups
that are being entirely ignored, silenced and sidelined are those that matter
most; the victims, their parents and their advocates. We have obviously lost
our humanity in this civilized world. To those who benefit from vaccines,
please continue to do so but please do not taunt, malign or threaten those who
are raising their voice. That is a very very cruel act. And there are those who
prefer to simply remove those who protest vaccines from their groups. What can
we address them as? Ostriches who wish to shut themselves from the reality? But
I would like to remind them, reality never disappears, it comes back to haunt.
And this reality involves two of the most beautiful things that this world has
to offer, small children and mothers - priceless gifts don't you agree? Can we
survive by knowingly hurting them? Think a bit? Ponder about it? We all have
mothe's, is it not? And we
all have children? I don't and yet I fight for them. I don't want to go from
this world dubbed as a person who knows and yet did nothing.

Hi D__,
There is a good reason why parents of kids with autism -- like myself
-- dedicate our activism in this field to an entirely different
e-group. Because it would take too much time and energy to rehash the
pharma industry's sordid record of media manipulation and spurious
studies.
But let me just share this. When Divya was an infant, thimerosal was
still in vaccines, and the total number of vaccines mandated before an
infant reeached age 2 was around 10. Right now, the average toddler
receives something like 30 vaccines before age 2. Autism rates have
spiked to unprecedented levels in the recent past. It is stupid to
attribute it all to "better diagnosis." One couldn't have missed that
many people with autism -- if so, where are all the thousands of
autistic adults?
The study you cite pertains to just one vaccine, right? What happens
when you add up the thimerosal in all the vaccines that were
administered in a given timeframe? Do you know that when adjusted
for body weight some of those doses represent over 500 percent of what
the FDA states is the toxic threshold for mercury?
Something is happening /has happened to these children -- I have
videotaped evidence that Divya was perfectly normal at birth and was a
happy, healthy engaged baby until age 1.5. This is not a vendetta
mission we parents are on, some of us have no interest in litigation.
We are just appalled that more children will slip into this twilight
zone just because of the greed or gullibility of those who ought to be
watching out for them.
