		<description>My children do not live in China - one of many factors I consider in deciding whether to give my children a particular vaccine. I hope that your children will someday have access to vaccines free of neurotoxins and that you receive informed consent before making an educated decision about your child&#039;s health care.</description>

		<description>Thimerosal *is* in flu vaccines in the US which are given to children of all ages, including infants. Thimerosal also appears in trace amounts in many other pediatric vaccines but the manufacturers are not required to disclosed contents below certain quantities.

Also I have never written that thimerosal has a direct cause and effect relationship with autism. Thimerosal *is* a neurotoxin, as is aluminum, another ingredient in most pediatric vaccines. I do not subscribe to a single cause theory of autism. Neither, by the way, does Jenny McCarthy. I wonder whether you actually read this blog post.</description>

		<description>Uchiyama, Tokio, Michiko Kurosawa, and Yutaka Inaba. &quot;MMR-Vaccine and Regression in Autism Spectrum Disorders: Negative Results Presented from Japan.&quot; Journal of Autism &amp; Developmental Disorders 37.2 (2007): 210-217. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web. 5 Mar. 2011.
Japan only had MMR vaccine for 4 years, 1989-1993. No significant change was found.

John Treanor, et al. &quot;Mercury concentrations and metabolism in infants receiving vaccines containing thiomersal: a descriptive study.&quot; Lancet 360.9347 (2002): 1737. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web. 5 Mar. 2011.
Ethyl Mercury doesn&#039;t bio-accumulate in the body. 
Methyl Mercury is the one that bio-accumulate in the body.
Know the difference.

There is no thiomersal in vaccine for children under six since 2001 in U.S. Did autism rate go down since then? 
Some parents just believe whatever the fear mongering Jenny McCarthy told them.</description>

		<description>In this article, you SELECTIVELY leave out some important information about Hep B virus. HBV can live outside a body for at least 7 days. According to WHO&#039;s link in the article, &quot;early childhood infections (inapparent infection through close interpersonal contact with infected household contacts)&quot;.
So much &quot;truth&quot; in this article. 
My hometown&#039;s population is plagued with Hep B, the highest rate in China. I just hope your kid don&#039;t travel to there.</description>

		<description>Thank you Jennifer - Essentially I believe that the big picture is that people are buckling under the weight of the authority of the government which is in bed with the pharmaceutical industry, but it is patently obvious and I would hope that any thinking person can see, that they have a vested interest in saying that &quot;such studies would be unethical&quot; (the study of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children). 

The only reason they would say such a thing is because they are covering their multi billion dollar money making industry, essentially they are lying to all of us and that is what people should be taking a stand against.

It makes no sense that they would claim it unethical when they have NOT even done the proper scientific research that already should have been done to put things clear, if vaccinations as per the schedule can prove beyond a doubt that children are healthier as a result then maybe they would have a point but they dont have a leg to stand on. Why would it be unethical to follow the health of children who&#039;s parents have decided to not vaccinate them as mere observation of their health status?

 It is in each of our interest as parents and individuals in society to question these things, find out the real truth and take a stand against these lies that are being perpetuated for the sake of money. Our children and parents are being made to suffer uneccesarily for big financial interest of these corporate monsters. 

I found these websites re the hidden truth about vaccines of great interest,
This link has an insightful interview with Robert F. Kennedy Junior about what he has found out about vaccines

		<description>Sue-I just wanted to thank you for your comments and to commend you for doing the research yourself and deciding what was best for your son and your family. It&#039;s hard to buck authority and make an informed choice that is really informed and really your choice. I&#039;m writing a book now (coming out in 2013) that explores in detail how vaccine manufacturers make money off vaccines (Jake, I think I need to interview you) and where the pressure to vaccinate so early comes from. Fascinatingly, I interviewed a VACCINE DEVELOPER and immunologist (Ph.D., postdoc at Yale University) who said that no child under one year of age should have any vaccines and that if we want real herd immunity we will delay vaccines by one, possibly two years.

There are *no* studies comparing completely unvaccinated children with vaccinated children. Up until now health authorities have said those studies would be &quot;unethical.&quot; (Since vaccinating is so crucial to good health.) What really seems unethical is trying to scare parents into vaccinating infants without doing adequate safety studies.

This is not scientific but I&#039;ve noticed, also, that the children who were breastfed for a long time but not vaccinated are by and large MUCH healthier than the babies who were vaccinated from birth.</description>

		<description>I know in Australia that doctors are paid and incentive or bonus by the gov&#039;t when they administer a vaccine, that information is well known. So doctors that are orthodox do not question the vaccine industry, but I have spoken to a couple of doctors that have different views. Even though thankfully here in Australia you can make your own decision about vaccinating your child there still seems to be a real lack of awareness about the truth around the issue, for e.g the lack of true scientific research on vaccines. You would think by now with all the fear, and compelling anecdotal evidence with parents that have had their children injured by a vaccine that they would be doing proper studies. 
They need to do a study where they follow the health of children that have had the full schedule as per gov&#039;t rec. versus children that have not been vaccinated to see the health outcomes of both.

Its crazy that with something as important as the health and wellbeing of our precious babies and children that this has not yet been done.</description>

		<description>@Sue, I think one reason these state mandates exist in the U.S. is the far too powerful role pharmaceutical companies play in creating health legislation here. The profit margin on vaccines is extremely small. The only way to make money on pediatric vaccines is to sell in bulk to state governments and large health systems. That market can only be created by requiring vaccines. And by creating new vaccines for illnesses that don&#039;t pose any real risk to the company has patent protection (all pediatric vaccines are generic at this point), like the varicella vaccine. Chicken pox? We needed a vaccine for chicken pox? And a vaccine with very low efficacy to boot so a significant portion of those vaccinated with get chicken pox anyway but no immunity?</description>

		<description>I live in Australia where to the choice to vaccinate is a parent&#039;s choice. 

I believe that is the way it should be, there should not be a &#039;one size fits all&#039; approach to healthcare, it should be based on the individual child, taking into consideration their sensitivities, their health, environment etc. 

Why does the government in the USA think that it has the right to decide for all parents anything about a child&#039;s health, does it assume that parents can not make this decision. 

Most parent&#039;s want what is best for their children. I did my research for months on end after my first child was given Hep B shot at birth, and I have decided for now that we will not vaccinate him, this is after I read every bit of information I could get my hands on, spoke to my doctor who was actually the one that gave me a book called &quot;Vaccines Your Informed Choice&quot; written by Dr Baratosy. 

I also spoke to people that I knew that did and did not vaccinate, what I discovered, and I do not think this is a coincidence, was that the children of people I know that were not vaccinated had impeccable health, rarely needing to even visit the doctors office and the children that were vaccinated as per the gov&#039;t childhood register had many problems at as young as 5 months of age, like bronchitis, ear infections, fevers and the like. 

My baby is now 8 months old and is in perfect health, despite one doctor insisting he was a sitting duck for whooping cough and lord knows what else. 

Despite her fear mongering I listened to my instincts and spent hours on end researching and I feel I have made the right choice. 

I have recently seen some young babies that have been vaccinated and they look very puffy (not baby fat) but as if their cells are inflamed and they cry an awful lot. Is it a co incidence also that my child in 8 months even as a newborn never cried much, never cried during the night and has a very happy and very healthy disposition? Could it be because his blood is pure and free of chemicals such as aluminium, mercury, formaldahyde?
Human blood is meant to be clean, so that the body and immune system can work properly, when blood is tainted with chemicals the body becomes sluggish and toxins over time bombarding a tiny baby&#039;s body, in my opinion can only do harm.</description>

		<description>Tasha - I wanted to respond to you too, and tell you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I am so so soo sorry you are experiencing this. We&#039;ve been kicked out of several dental practices in Ashland for refusing to do x-rays or fluoride. We don&#039;t really have a doctor here right now. Thankfully there ARE progressive doctors where we live but, like with Jake, they are not pediatricians.

The saddest part to all this is that many doctors/pediatricians actually choose NOT to vaccinate their own children according to the CDC. I interviewed one of the biggest names at the CDC (OFF RECORD) who confided that he did not do the Hep B vaccine. 

They force parents to do one thing and then they do something else for their own families. It&#039;s really terrible.

I&#039;m writing a book about how businesses and private interests are dictating the way we parent, not what&#039;s in the best interests of our children. I&#039;d love to include your story in the book. Maybe we can talk off-list?

I said it already but I&#039;ll reiterate, honestly and truly you are not alone.</description>
