No one uses the mercury vaccines nowadays try to ask and make sure they don't reuse the needles or the syringes they should both be one use only throwaway stuff. Mercury is like radiation--once you have it you don't get rid of it and someone reusing a syringe can be exposed to more. I know there is a definite difference in animals now compared to all the ones I had 40 years ago--their vaccines used to have this additive too. I'm sure one of our cats is autistic. Sadly this could come from them no longer testing medicines on animals becuse of activism--but how could you really tell if a bunny is autistic? They don't seem all that bright to begin with so maybe it wouldn't have been noticed.

Government would use third world nations for experiments, and if I did not trust anyone it would be large private practices, not government clinics, since the clincis are not the one writing research papers, getting grants for research and so on.

i think it is teh thermosiol in it tat they were saying cause atusim so much is said nowdays about everything its hard to trust people . if it dosent cause atusim then why does the goverment in cases where ppl can proove it was what caused thier illness and the goverment has fixed it where teh labs and the ppl in these labs whitch are owned by they goverment cant be sued or healds liable because it was "your choice " to so so .

I'm not being rude so please dont think so just was wondering what ppl think about that too

To clear the air a little..... Autism has been researched extensively, there is, at this point, no known cause. This includes vaccines. Note that I bolded the word KNOWN. Yes, it is being studied, but it is yet to be found true.

There are many "theories" on what causes autism such as genetics, vaccines, viruses, and even socioeconomic levels, yet there is not one shred of absolute proof. The benefit of vaccines, even those containing Thermosol (MMR), completely outweighs the risks. If we do not vaccinate our children against Measles Mumps and Rubella, we run the risk of a possibly catastrophic public epidemic.

As I stated above, one of the theories is socioeconomic levels. You see, it has been found that the #'s of autistic children are higher in the wealthy population. As a theory they believe it is due to a lesser form of nurturing that some children get with jet set parents.

Before anyone bashes this response, remember I said it is a THEORY, just a THEORY and nothing more.

Now, back to the vaccines....Whenever I have to vaccinate the children at the hospital I must write down the batch number of each and every vaccine given. This number is provided in case that child does develop autism, or some other ailment such an an allergic reaction or an unwanted response. This number is tracked with the child who gets any one of the above-mentioned responses and is cross-matched with other children who have received that particular batch of vaccines. Research can then be done to find out if any other children who got a vaccine from this batch developed the same unwanted response.

Unfortunately autism typically begins around 18 months to 2 years of age. There is great research being done into the diets of these children. It seems as though some children thrive on certain diets and have less autistic features.

not sure if you realize the vaccine preservative you are talking about is made with mercury it was supposed to extend shelf life I think. Just consider all the time and effort it's took to get the tobacco companies to "admit the problem" or the asbestos people. You will be stuck with the heartbreak and lifelong care of a special needs child and they won't pay a penny.
have you personally seen one red cent from a tobacco company? They pay out settlements but to the government, not to us.

well if your child, some thing happens and the child is disabled, can't work you would be able to get Social Security Disability benefits for that child. So the government does have a financial interest if it goes after a manufacturer. Their interest is primary and you are secondary, if a lawsuit ever gets to court. Just let's all hope SS benefits don't get bankrupt first!! Also I think on your federal tax return govt. gives you a bigger standard deduction $$ if you would have a disabled child or a totally dependent adult child. I know, not much of a consolation. Kinda makes you want to move somewhere to a desert island an stay there till the kid's a grownup sometimes!
