Amy in the Morning 2/11/09 Will you vaccinate now?

Blogger Selfish Mom (SelfishMom.com) talks about the one thin reason parents had not to vaccinate their kids being totally false, then climbs down off her soapbox for a minute to talk about the fantastic woman that is Kelly Ripa.

You say study after study has been done - could you please provide the links? From what I've read, no studies have been done between vaccinated and unvaccinated kids, so I'd like to see where you got your information from just so that I can read through it. The rate of autism in the USA is 1 in 150, the rate in Denmark is 1 in 2,200. The difference? The USA has 36 mandated childhood vaccines. Denmark has 12. How do you explain this?

@gmarc166 I tried about 15 different ways to post links here but youtube simply won't let them go through. They were ridiculously easy to find, BTW. So I sent them directly to you in a message, & that went through. The problem with your argument is that you're stuck on one possible cause out of an unlimited number of causes. It's like a detective who decides five minutes after a murder who the killer is, and ignores any evidence that points to someone else.

@SelfishMom Finally got your link to work - this isn't what I'm looking for either though. These focus on MMR v non-MMR, rather than vaccinated v totally unvaccinated.

@gmarc166 Sorry, I'm sick of doing your research for you. I found a ton of studies in just a few minutes of googling, I'm sure you can do the same. What I meant about being stuck on one reason is being stuck on the vaccine/autism link. I posted this video two years ago, I'm done talking about it unless you can bring something new and/or interesting to the conversation.

What I said was there has been no study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children. There hasn't.

[SelfishMom]

@sarlene90574 Yes there have been, that's how they come to their conclusions: comparing the rate of autism for vaccinated children to the rate of autism for unvaccinated children. Only looking at one wouldn't really be of any use.

It was two months ago that a leading independent research team that tagged SIDS to the hepatitis B vaccine given to babies shortly after birth (Mercola.com)

@chiropractic47 You bet it did.....

I have a very busy chiropractic practice and have many families with autistic children. Everyone of these parent understand it was the MMR that caused their child to become autistic.

My friends son is severely damaged by the mmr vaccine, and she knows it was caused by this. One day he was a normal child, the next day brain damaged and now severely autistic. He is 14 years old and still in diapers. Wakefield didn't falsify anything, the GMC did. I know it's hard to believe people lie, but they do, and not who you think. Consider who has the bigggest motivation to lie. Please don;t just listen to the mass media, it's full of crap to make you react. Result.

@SelfishMom You said study after study had been done on vaccinated v unvaccinated. I asked you to provide your sources - the source you provided proved to be studies done on one type of vaccine as opposed to another. I am doing my own research, thanks all the same.

[gmarc166]

@SelfishMom Did I say I was stuck on one reason? No, that was your assumption. I just asked for links (the one you gave me didn't work). I did a search and I still can't find any studies done - I'm talking about proper studies done by the Government/pharmaceutical companies/CDC. I did find one done by the Danish authorities, but that wasn't vaccinated/unvaccinated - it was merely MMR recipients/non-MMR recipients which isn't what I'm looking for.

@benjamintheblue See, that's the hardest part about this debate. It pits people with statistics behind them against emotional moms looking for answers. I can't simply believe something with absolutely no evidence behind it because you're dealing with a sick child. And it breaks my heart what you and many moms like you are going through. But that has to be separated from actual evidence so that a cure can be found. Making this an emotional debate allows unvaccinated kids to die in the meantime.
