“Let me try that:

Anti-vaccine activists are paid by pharmaceutical companies to discourage parents from protecting their children against dangerous diseases so that doctors can make more money treating them. I just know this to be true, and the evidence is out there if you look hard enough, but don't expect me to help you because you're the one asking not me.

Hey, it works!”

“No straw men here. If a child's immune system is easily overwhelmed with antigens, then he has far greater problems than vaccines. The entire childhood schedule contains 150 antigens. Care to guess how many bacteria and viruses a kid is exposed to in a single day?

So how is introducing a dozen or so antigens via a couple vaccines "overwhelming" an immune system that has been overwhelmed since day one?”

“I don't understand how introducing a half dozen or so antigens via vaccines is "overwhelming" an immune system that handles thousands of antigens every day. What do you think happens when a kid scrapes his knee and rolls around in the dirt, or eats a pepperoni slice off the floor at Chucky Cheese? At least the viruses in vaccines aren't wild. In some cases, the antigens only mimic viruses, and fool the body into mounting an antibody response.”

“I usually lurk, but I have to point something out here.

Maybe you should read his post. Especially the part where he asks what vaccines do to a child's immune system when that child has autoimmune disfunction. He asks a very valid question.

No, you ignore the context of the post and try to move the subject away from the actual question, attacking something that wasn't even mentioned.

Now I see why everyone ignores you and no one takes you seriously. Geez.”

“...Except when Jenny is on Oprah acting as if she is a medical expert, spewing total, non-scientific nonsense about the disproven "link" between autism and childen's immunization vaccines. It's really irresponsible and lame. Jenny should stick to her fake boobs and the red carpet, and stop spreading harmful misinformation to families!”

I find this is repeated quite often with you Ken. If you can't have a reasonable discussion without the personal attacks, perhaps you should confine yourself to sites that share your narrow-mindedness. What you are doing here is the very difinition of being a Troll.”

“"If you are a doctor that you should be educating yourself on mitochondria and vaccines--­--aluminum­, mercury, bacteria (lps) and live viruses. All of these can injure, cause death and can cause autism."

Any substance can be toxic. Oxygen can blind a newborn. The fluorine in your toothpaste is a corrosive gas. Did you have wine with your dinner last night, Red? Watch out for the alcohol - it's a known neurotoxin!”

“Parents are generally not very good at noticing the onset of autistic symptoms. At least two studies show that more than half of parents who reported regression at a certain time missed earlier symptoms.

It is not "condescending" to assume parents are imagining a connection. Humans are hard-wired to mistake correlation for causation. That's why it's important to ask questions, think critically, and be very cautious in reaching conclusions.”

“lwfky, the idea that autistic kids have loads of mercury comes from quack medical labs that test for hg in urine following chelation.

Yes, there is such a thing as vaccine injury, but it doesn't happen nearly as often as Red wants to us believe. The VAERS system is voluntary - you could list your parakeet as vaccine injured, and your report would be entered into the database.”
