Top Autism Panel Backs Research Objectives Mentioning Vaccines -- Dueling Press Releases Ensue
Commented Nov 13, 2009 at 14:54:19 in Living
“"They specifically eliminated A) a vax-unvax study, B) an unvaxed or partially vaxed sibs study and C) an adjuvant study - all gone," said Katie Wright, whose parents founded Autism Speaks after her son was diagnosed with the disorder. "They only left the word "vaccine" in a long laundry list of POTENTIAL future possible (translation never) study topics.""
These studies would prove whether or not vaccines have a role in autism . Removing them may be more about protecting the vaccine schedule than kids .”

“There aren't enough completely unvaccinated children in the US and Canada combined to generate reliable data.”

“Agreed. And it also completely shatters the trust of the public.
The CDC wants people to vaccinate? Well, do the damned studies and quit dodging! If they find that there is nothing to worry about, i.e. that the health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated people are similar (a study that should have been done 20 years ago when we asked for it), then I'm pretty sure that it will quiet a lot of people and help rebuild that trust.
But this reluctance to do the study makes them look like they are afraid of what they will find. That, most certainly, harms the public trust. The science needs to be done, period.”

Swine Flu Vaccine: Why You Should Stop Worrying and Roll Up Your Sleeve

“The fact is not all the experts agree that flu shots save lives. From a recent Atlantic article
'........... When Lisa Jackson, a physician and senior investigator with the Group Health Research Center, in Seattle, began wondering aloud to colleagues if maybe something was amiss with the estimate of 50 percent mortality reduction for people who get flu vaccine, the response she got sounded more like doctrine than science. “People told me, ‘No good can come of [asking] this,’”
........Nonetheless, in 2004, Jackson and three colleagues set out to determine whether the mortality difference between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated might be caused by a phenomenon known as the “healthy user effect.” They hypothesized that on average, people who get vaccinated are simply healthier than those who don’t, and thus less liable to die over the short term......
......In fact, the healthy-user effect explained the entire benefit that other researchers were attributing to flu vaccine, suggesting that the vaccine itself might not reduce mortality at all.

“Even Tom Jefferson isn't so stupid as to claim that the flu vaccine doesn't save lives.
His issue is that the season flu vaccination campaign isn't very effective in those over 65 who are at greatest risk of complications. And that those who benefit from the seasonal vaccine (kids and adults) very rarely have complications.
But H1N1 is killing few seniors because most have natural immunity. H1N1 is killing children and adults who will be protected by a vaccine that is a great match for the infecting strains of the flu virus.
Flu Vaccination: Those who advocate it, generally read the original sources and not someone else's summary.”

"Gardasil Researcher Drops A Bombshell
Harper: Controversal Drug Will Do Little To Reduce Cervical Cancer Rates
By Susan Brinkmann, For The Bulletin
Sunday, October 25, 2009
Dr. Diane Harper, lead researcher in the development of two human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, said the controversial drugs will do little to reduce cervical cancer rates and, even though they’re being recommended for girls as young as nine, there have been no efficacy trials in children under the age of 15.
Dr. Harper, director of the Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Research Group at the University of Missouri, made these remarks during an address at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2-4. Although her talk was intended to promote the vaccine, participants said they came away convinced the vaccine should not be received.
“I came away from the talk with the perception that the risk of adverse side effects is so much greater than the risk of cervical cancer, I couldn’t help but question why we need the vaccine at all,” said Joan Robinson, Assistant Editor at the Population Research Institute.......”

“I saw "Sarah Palin Revealed" yesterday on CNN. One of the male reporters was glowing so much he looked like a teenybopper reading Tiger Beat. When the former mayor, a Christian, Mr. Stein, was asked to criticize Palin, he simply smiled, shook his head, and said, "No." There have been reports of repubs going out to stifle criticism of Palin. Maybe Stein was just being circumspect or was afraid of reprisals.
It was hardly a balanced look at Palin and did not cover her policies. It covered her days on the hs basketball team, her entry into the beauty pageant. It did mention that she went to 5 or 6 schools before getting a journalism degree. She started out as a tv sports reporter,the went on to news. Then it covered her political progress.
No in-depth look at her frightening religious beliefs and how they would affect any decisions regarding political action, civil rights for religious and racial minorities, when she thinks the world will end, the right for women to choose in certain strictly medical situations involving horrible diseases which are terminal and often quite painful that the child may be born with.
This was a puff piece, the sort one would read while waiting at a supermarket check-out counter. Sarah Palin revealed? Playboy could have done a better job with its Playboy Bunny profiles.”
It was hardly a balanced look at Palin and did not cover her policies. It covered her days on the hs basketball team, her entry into the beauty pageant. It did mention that she went to 5 or 6 schools before getting a journalism degree. She started out as a tv sports reporter,the went on to news. Then it covered her political progress.
No in-depth look at her frightening religious beliefs and how they would affect any decisions regarding political action, civil rights for religious and racial minorities, when she thinks the world will end, the right for women to choose in certain strictly medical situations involving horrible diseases which are terminal and often quite painful that the child may be born with.
