“St. Tom is welcome to the last word. It's his body1”

“I know lots about homoeopathy, and that's why I've never tried it!”

“Only according to you, St. Tom (who knows nothing about it and has never tried it). You're one opinion against millions of people who know it does.

The only people you're convincing are other "skeptics".”

“That still doesn't mean that Quackwatch is bad, Christy. And the same sources that tell us that Barrett has been convicted of things, also tell us that he has lost his license which is not true, and checkable at once . Try putting Barret's details in here: http://www.licensepa.state.pa.us/
falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus?

Oh, and Homoeopathy doesn't work”

“"At trial, under a heated cross examination by Negrete, Barrett conceded that he was not a medical board certified psychiatrist because he had failed the exam." "The most damning testimony before the jury...was that Barrett had filed similar defamation lawsuits against almost 40 people across the country within the past few years and had not won one single one at trial." "During the course of his examination, Barrett also had to concede his ties to the AMA, FTC and FDA."

“This article certainly is reminiscent of sewage....”

“Do you know what "legitimate" means?”

“One's background does not go away. It's always there. How can Barrett no longer have a legitimate medical background just because he sued somebody for defamation and lost? He wasn't the defendant.”

“Do you?”

"I just listened to Paul Offit's interview on Skepchek, and he sounded very respectful to the parents."

He will only be respectful when he starts believing us.”

“Mrs. Poling said, in no uncertain terms, that her family would not release Hannah's medical records. You can characterize that as "hiding something" if you want.”

“AutismNewsBeat

I don't expect you to understand the point - you presume (I can't think why) that the Polings are hiding something, but if they are not they have no way of proving it to you. Moreover, the idea that they privy to the inner workings of the other side is weird beyond words.

So you are just indulging in innuendo.”

“Good some progress. Parents do not just have "survivor accounts". They have the chidren and medical records and photographs and videos and evidence of others who saw the child before and after.

Children do not spontaneously regress, lose speach, mental capacity and start tiptoe walking and such-like.

But that is the kind of nonsense parents are being told by educated medical professionals who should know a lot better.

When Kanner discovered autism in the 1940's it was rare. Since the vaccine programmes it is not and neither are a large number of other immune system conditions.”

“Love the picture. :-)”

“And on smallpox vaccine "about 1 in 175 healthy adults who received the vaccine for the first time developed inflammation and swelling of the heart, or myopericarditis, and/or surrounding tissues, which can be fatal in severe cases"

“Reasons Offit voted down smallpox vaccination?

"50 million Americans should not get the vaccine "

"ADVERSE EFFECTS — This live vaccine has the potential to cause many adverse effects (SE Frey et al, N Engl J Med 2002; 346:1275; KA Sepkowitz, N Engl J Med 2003; 348:5). Historically, about one death occurred per million primary vaccinations. Local reactions include satellite lesions, focal inflammation and lymphadenopathy. Brief systemic reactions typical of a viral illness (fever, muscle aches, headache, nausea and fatigue) are common after primary vaccination. Accidental inoculation of the vaccine virus into other skin sites or into the eyes, where it may cause sight-threatening keratitis, can occur. Generalized vaccinia, erythema multiforme, post-vaccinial encephalitis (more common in infants) and eczema vaccinatum (occurring in areas of healed as well as active eczema/atopic dermatitis) can also occur (RJ Engler et al, J Allergy Clin Immunol 2002; 110:357). Among contacts of vaccinees, complications are most frequently the result of accidental inoculation. The risk of eczema vaccinatum may be greater than in the past because eczema/atopic dermatitis is more common, occurring in up to 10%-20% of the population. Progressive vaccinia (vaccinia necrosum), .... might also be more common now because of HIV infection and widespread use of immunosuppressive drugs. Rare cases of fetal vaccinia have been reported after vaccination during pregnancy."

“Kenny whined:
"I can't think..."

Yes, Kenny, we know. So very obvious.”

“Obviously not one of the 10,000 that are completely safe.”

“I know. I suggested a woman get her 2 young kids vaccinated for H1N1 since she works in a hospital and takes them there often. Since the children are frequently ill and in my home, I thought this would be a safety issue for all of us. She says vaccines can cause autism, so she doesn't vaccinate. Both her kids got H1N1, ran fevers of 105 (one is only 6 months old) and her son shows hallmark symptoms of autism even though he never got a vaccine (he's showed symptoms since he was 6 months old), so obviously the vaccines weren't the cause.”

“Safe vaccination is not the same as anti-vaccination.

By the way .. other than name calling and anecdotal bovine excrement, what facts have you brought to the table... links...resources.. etc... I have provided you with studies and workshops hosted by the CDC, FDA, and the Vaccine manufactures which all come to the conclusion that they do not know!!!

Another point: If ASDs have always been prevalent (regardless of reclassification) where are all these people??? How come they weren't in class or in the special ed classroom back in 1964 1972 1977 1982 1987 1993...”

“Hmpf... You still haven't read the CDC FDA Pharma workshop symposium at Simpsonwood that I linked ...several times...

Please link to your resources, I am more than happy to read them.

It was actually Dr. Boyd Hailey (one of the world's authorities on mercury toxcity) that revealed the binding to testosterone versus estrogen. It is Dr. Paul Offit (co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine) that challenges and mocks this assertion.”
