There really isnt enough evidence to suggest that Autism is NOT caused by vaccines. If I knew for certain that vaccines cause Autism I would choose not to vaccinate! I have 2 children with Autism which have been vaccinated and I am having faith in the immunization board that tell me vaccines are safe.
I think the reason why people are so quick to refuse vaccination is because they were vaccinated themselves, and have not grown up in a place where these diseases are prevalent.
The don't see anyone with measles anymore, so it mustn't exist anymore. Therefore it's a-ok in their minds to let their kids go unvaccinated, 'that disease has been cured, there's no worry'. *sigh* Apparently autism is more important.
@Terrawah You're absolutely right. Once people start seeing others dying of these diseases or suffering disability because of them, they will be cursing their ignorance.
My girlfriend chose not to vaccinate two out three of her children. They are healthy and happy. Will I choose vaccination when she and I have a child? I don't know yet. I do believe that it is a choice that parents must be able to make for their children. In her kids' cases, there's no reason to vaccinate, because they have never, and probably will never go anywhere, and if they do, they can be vaccinated then. I was vaccinated, because my mother was in the Navy. I can see the pros and cons.
@evolvedcucumber You are so wrong. These diseases are becoming endemic in ALL first world countries. Your girlfriend's children are at risk and they are putting other people at risk, too. It's selfish, it's ignorant and it's wrong. There are no pros on the side of the antivaccinationists. There is no science, there is no sense.
It doesn't put others at risk if they live in a low-risk population to begin with. My partner has to agree that if there is ANY outbreak (even the flu) her children have to stay home. That further ensures that others are not at risk.
Furthermore, who are you to say that someone's choice about how to raise their children is ignorant? You don't know how much information she gathered before making that choice. And how is it selfish?
Her kids miss less class combined in a year than I did at...
@evolvedcucumber This is what they call the arrogance of ignorance: Your partner thinks she can protect her children against things that she cannot see, cannot predict. Her children could be infected for days without her knowing it, as could the children in their schools, their friends, etc. How, then is she actually protecting those children? I DO know how much information she gathered because you have said she chose not to vaccinate. That indicates a great deal of ignorance.
Her kids miss less class combined in a year than I did at any of their ages. And I am considered a healthy adult, and was considered a child with normal health.
How is there no sense? How is it selfish? How is it ignorant?
I honestly want to know how this is true in all cases, when I know that different school districts have different requirements, not even getting to different STATES and COUNTRIES.
@evolvedcucumber It is senseless, because it is based on nothing. It is selfish because it puts her children and others at great risk, and it is ignorant because it is in SPITE of all scientific truth. And what do the requirements have to do with it? The fact that legislators have allowed parents exemptions has nothing to do with scientific fact.
Actually I live in an amish and mennonite community a large one and there are no cases of autism in that community. I know we are friends with alot of the amish and mennonite in our community we take then to the store and to Dr.'s appointments. So please don't tell me the study was propaganda or a lie when I live in one of the communities involved in the study and can see the facts everyday in my friends in the area.
The problem with that, though, is the complete anecdotal nature of it. On the other hand, there is at least one peer reviewed study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that contradicts your anecdotal experience.
This is likely due to the misconception that all Autism is Connor's Autism. There are a great many manifestations, most of which remained undiagnosed until recent years in the main population, and indeed are still often mistaken for other conditions.
I also believe if vaccines work then why should the vaccinated worry about the unvaccinated. I was a nurse I believe in vaccines if I didn't my children would not be vaccine injured. My daughter would not be taking seizure medication 3 times a day. I respect your views and your concerns I can not be vaccinated because I have an immune system disorder if someone told me my children should be tested I would have gladly paid the $400 instead of the thousands I pay and the state pays now
For some reason, I'm not getting comment notifications. Anyway, I don't think people who have immune system disorders should be required to vaccinate. How can they? I just received a talking to by my rheum because I still haven't gotten my tetanus and shingles vaccines; the reason I need them is because I am about to start a immunesuppresant therapy. Once on it, no more vaccines.
I agree al autism is not cause by vaccine but why not allow a 400 dollar test when childreb are born to see if they have a mitochondrial disorder. I live in PA we have no measles here I am in a high mennonite/Amish community who do not vaccinate and there is no cases of autism in that community they actually did studies here on that fact I think they found 4 cases in the whole population in PA and 3 were adopted and vaccinated before adoption one lived downwind of a coal plant
Actually, the myth that the Amish and Mennonites don't vaccinate and don't have autism is just that, a myth. Dan Olmstead was the one who propagated that lie. As for mitochondrial disorders, I do think we're going to get to a place where the testing for it isn't as expensive and can be done as a matter of course. As rare as it is, there's no reason for parents not to do it if they wish to. But, then what? There's no cure and it is inevitable once a child gets sick.
Also my two cents that you did not ask for inreguards to your video. My child did indeed almost die of a vaccine reaction 4 shots then 6 hours later-blood in the diaper,seizures, vomiting. I just finished up another therapy session 30 mins ago. In my daughter's case vaccines are deadly. I almost lost her. Autism was incindently. I think more children should be screened for the micthodria disorder
Okay I have vented. For the record I do not believe all autism is caused by vaccines.
U.S. Measles Hits 11-Year High — Most Cases Were Unvaccinated
The U.S. is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in 11 years with the infection of 127 people in 15 states, Reuters reports.
The outbreak began when people became infected while traveling abroad. Upon their return to the U.S., they spread the disease to others, most of whom were not vaccinated. The CDC has not received reports of any deaths in this outbreak, according to Reuters.
Affected regions include Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New York, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, Washington state, and Washington, D.C. Travelers were infected with the measles while visiting Switzerland, Israel, Belgium, Italy, India, Germany, China, Pakistan, Russia, and the Philippines.
Well, it is definitely stupidity to NOT get vaccinated if you decide to travel abroad. Many who got infected were actually vaccinated according to schedule. Because of the vaccine (MMR) our population now has less immunity to measles than before when infection was acquired naturally. This is what led to shortages of IVIG in recent years. They have had to lower the allowable level of measles anitbodies in the IG donations. They think they lower level provides protection, but aren't totally sure.
Well, if you read my post it wasn't limited to other countries; it included 16 US States if I counted correctly. I am having problems getting the URLs to post for some reason. It was on Reuters today and First Watch for Physicians.
no, the people who traveled abroad should get vaccinated! There are those that can't be vaccinated, and those who are too young here in the US that they should think about.
If the traveler had been vaccinated, he/she would not have brought the disease back.
URLS will not post on youtube comments, only email. What is strange, is that the CDC's weekly MMWR has a much smaller # of infected individuals than what the news has been portraying. Who do we believe?
Agree, those who are traveling should be vaccinated.
Well, the CDC's site has been behind. It is behind during the flu outbreaks. That is when I start relying on the HAN. Normally I believe the CDC but I do feel it is higher. There are some states public health departments that are slow to report.
It wouldn't have spread if people were vaccinated to start out with. It wouldn't have become an issue, if the people these people came in contact with were vaccinated...but this is what happens when people don't get vaccinated. Diseases spread.
But the problem is, some people do not respond to the vaccine, and others cannot have the vaccine. Bottom line, you want to travel abroad, get vaccinated. Some in that outbreak WERE vaccinated!
This isn't just about traveling abroad. This very easily could have happened locally. It's about contact. So don't you think those who were vaccinated had less of a reaction? Why do you think schools require chicken pox, measles, mumps, reubella, tetatnus, etc shots? Disease spreads. Those that were vaccinated could've had titers drawn to see if the vaccine was good still. I needed a booster for my MMR. I had it checked because I don't want these preventable diseases.
sorry, it was late and I spelled it wrong, it is Kedan. And yes, children with associated seizure disorder (which is always attributed to the autism- again, doctors look no further than the dx of autism) often die at a young age.
That poor child didn't die of autism, ffs! He died because his parents were inattentive. It is tragic, it is terrible, but it is reality. That is not to say that the parents should be faulted or they were neglectful; but that child died of drowning, not autism. No matter what the behavior, the cause remains the same.
Where do I start? I know this loving family. He was a avid bolter. How could you say such things without knowing more about the situation. Did you know they live in the country with a pond near the house? How precious that little boy was? How he looked forward to school. What a loving heart that family has. THey had alarms on the door. But it was June 4th last year and it was warm that day. I never wish to silence someone's voice-but I think a statement that you meant no ill will is in order.
this is in response to your comment on Kedan Seagraves Family was inattentive. If you only knew. I am so upset and appalled at your careless cold words. I do not agree with the majority of your views but you do have talent with a video. Please let me know if you post a statement of "I meant no Harm" reguarding your comments of Kedan Seagraves memorial video! She only means to educate other parentsof children w/autism . A cautionary tale -Drowning is the number one death people w/autism.
I already stated that the child's death did not mean the parents were neglectful. I know there is no way to watch a child 24 hours a day and I have known other people with neurotypical children who drowned as well. This isn't about blaming someone, it is about the cause of death. The child's autism certainly was a contributing factor in his death, but it was not the way the child died, nor was it the cause. I know it sucks. I know it would be easier to blame autism.
I must of missed that statement that the child's death did not mean the parents were neglectful. This little boy was so precious-she was still potty training him. Thank you for straightening that misconception up. Drowning is such a huge problem . I am cautious always with my daughter.
Additionally: there is no way to properly describe the horror that is losing a child and what those parents have gone through is awful and should never happen to anyone. I just hope the push to stop vaccinating doesn't cause this to happen in other families. (death of a child)
About autism being fatal, do you know what the leading cause of death for children with autism is? Betcha don't. I would like to share a video with you...
I like your quote "the preventable death of one child is one too many" What about kids with immune problems that get measles from the vaccine and die?
I guess that kid is acceptable to you. I guess my daughter's encephalopathy from the Varicella or MMR vaccine is acceptable to you. She almost died, too, you know.
So, you think Jenny McCarthy spread the word to the Congo, and caused a measles epidemic? You don't think this has been going on there for ages? You don't think it has nothing to do with the fact that they have hardly ANY doctors or medicine?
Maybe when that malaria vaccine is available, you should go get that, too, just to be safe.
in what way? We don't live in a 3rd world country. We don't need to see how VPDs affect them. They also use the TB vaccine, we don't need to. They also die from drinking water contaminated with fecal matter. Africa has NOTHING to do with this debate.
What Jenny has done is called attention to a growing problem in our country. This is more than just autism. This is a one size fits all vaccine policy that has no regard for children who should be contraindicated.
OK, let me spell it out for you: If our vaccination rates continue to fall, preventable disease will make a comeback and begin killing children again. It has already started. Looking at what happens when people do not vaccinate is relevant in that it shows the cost of a lack of vaccination. Of course there are other health concerns in Africa, but that is not the issue I addressed and in bringing them into the debate you are attempting to shift the focus.
the only reason rates will continue to fall, is because the CDC/ ACIP has done nothing. Thankfully, they have had many meetings in the last 2 months to understand the issue more. Perhaps we may see a change soon.
Trust me, I DON'T want to see rates to fall. Jade has no antibodies, and cannot have any more vaccines, she is VERY MUCH at risk.
yes, parents (and doctors) have been screaming this for yrs, and the govt has done nothing. Julie Gerberding, when interviewed about Hannah Poling on CNN (months after the CDC had knowledge of the case) stated "Oh, I have not reviewed her case yet". Not reveiwed her case? it made worldwide news, "govt conceded vaccines cause girl's autism", and the director of the CDC hasn't reviewed the case?
That is the attitude of the FDA and CDC over the last few yrs.
People watched what happenned to Jade, and it has scared them. People are watching what is happenning to neighbors, cousins, grandchildren, nephews, co-workers children, friend's children. And it scares the hell out of them.
Think they trust the CDC who has sat back and done nothing, denying it for years? Then now, we have found that the NVICP HAS paid out for 10 autism cases!
There really isnt enough evidence to suggest that Autism is NOT caused by vaccines. If I knew for certain that vaccines cause Autism I would choose not to vaccinate! I have 2 children with Autism which have been vaccinated and I am having faith in the immunization board that tell me vaccines are safe.
