    There is a lawsuit that is going to trial about the issues and concerns about autism being caused by vaccinations.

    A reporter for one of the news channels said that the preservatives in the meds were mercury and another that I do not remember.

    Now,
    The "experts" say that the levels of mercury were way over 'normal' for a human of that size/age. Apparently, the mercury travels to the brain and is found in the lining around the brain and THAT is the cause of autism in kids.

    Now, I am supposing about this but- If the same preservatives are used in other injectable vaccines, why aren't adults and other people getting the same bad side effects that kids get? It seems to reason that adults should be getting autism too!

    Adults have mature immune systems & a growing baby does not. It's brain
    and other organs continue to grow, change & mature through their early
    years. Children are much more susceptable to chemicals of any kind.

    That is the basis of the lawsuit.

    Immunity and poisoning are different. Immunity is the body's ability to fight off a disease. Antibodies, the lymph system and white blood cells kill the infection in the body. In a poisoning your body tries to cleanse itself from the materials that are ingested or absorbed. Some materials are the cause of illnesses. Like asbestos or fiberglass- They cause a person to get sick, but you cannot have 'immunity' from the material. Some things you can process out of your body-other things are there forever.

    People inhale fiberglass, the fibers settle in the lungs and gunk you up so you have to use oxygen, get a transplant or die. I can, theoretically, hang out with kids that have the measles and never get sick-because I have been vaccinated. I can hang out with a person with a fiberglass based illness and not get sick-but I can't work in a FG job and be 100% sure I won't get ill.

    There is no conclusive evidence that anything in vaccines cause autism-as a matter of fact, some are leaning towards a genetic reason for the illness.

    I just saw an interview with Jenny Mc Carthy about her fight against autism.

    The slogan for her fight is "Green the Vaccine" meaning that she wants all the 'additives' taken out of vaccines.

    I had to laugh about this. It's the usual uninformed reaction people with a cause have to a problem that affects them personally.

    There are preservatives added to vaccines to keep them viable- storage, temp, light are the main reasons that vaccines have extras in them.

    There is no evidence as to what causes autism.

    But she is willing to have the manufacturers take out these additives that might make a difference to kids, in the future?

    IF she is successful that opens the door for the companies to raise the prices of an innoculation because they have to produce any vaccine consistently.
    Vaccines will spoil and what would be the effects to the population if we needed huge amounts of a med? Look at flu vaccines and the problems when we have an outbreak!-if that ban on additives extends to those vaccines there will be no way to properly stockpile them for a future epidemic.

    ---------------

    The last thing I found fascinating was her claim that her son was cured of his autism. Of course she claimed that after her son got the shots he stopped talking and was diagnosed as being autistic. With her involvlment and getting her son her son the treatment she could afford, her child is cured.

    She also talked about some conversations with a doctor where she opposed the doctor's opinion. I always thought she was a stupid blonde.

    But now I am encouraged about her knowledge of medicine and have schedule a physical and a prostate exam with her.

    For a little while my sister fell into the vaccine trap about my nephew, insisting that he talked, etc. up until one vax or another, but she was wrong--he DIDN'T talk until he was, like, 4, and people I know, who KNOW--having MR kids, LD grandkids, etc.-- knew "something" was wrong with him by the time he was 2. Is it autism? Well, I find that debatable; I call it ADHD with a twist. 25 years ago, he wouldn't have been called autistic, nor would/were a lot of other people I know, hence at least a partial explanation of the rise in numbers.
