No concerned parent would care about his grift if his support of MANDATED liability shielded vaccines werent harming and killing our children while he profits off his rotavirus vaccine that's on the CDC vaccination schedule

He doesnt want choice for others. But oddly enough he chose to stop getting Covid boosters.

A CR Democrats Could Vote For

Exposing the Dangers in the Republican CR

GEORGIA FISANICK

MAR 11

Democratic messaging on the continuing resolution is all wrong. You can’t tell scared people that you will “stand fast” to try to preserve things they care about for the long term while gutting them in the short term.

You have to have an alternative that protects them.

The alternative is to say that they will ONLY vote for a CLEAN continuing resolution that:

•runs through September 30, 2025

•has no changes in any of the funding levels that were in Biden’s last budget to protect the social safety net until then

•forbids sequestration of funds so Trump and Vought cannot create a phony emergency to allow them to redirect funds

•forbids illegal impoundments of funds by Trump

•Raises the debt ceiling by only a small fraction of the $4 trillion so Trump cannot get enough to enact the tax cut for billionaires.

Why vote for any version of the CR? BECAUSE YOU DON’T WANT TO SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN AND DO MORE HARM.

Tell the people that!!!

If the Republicans pass their own booby-trapped CR, at least you’ve warned people about what more destruction may be coming down the track.

And you are taking the first step in building a true opposition shadow government. One that makes the alternative positions and policies clear and exposes the hidden attacks on the working people of America in everything that Trump and the oligarchs are doing.

https://open.substack.com/pub/georgiafisanick/p/a-cr-democrats-could-vote-for

IMPORTANT! Call/email the House Republicans and READ to them Georgia Fisanick’s excellent ‘Alternative CR’ (above) that the Democrats should DEMAND NOW to avoid a government shutdown.

The measles vaccine is not sterilizing. Those who have natural immunity are a better barrier to protect those who cannot be vaccinated. The California outbreak included people who were vaccinated.

It’s one thing to require people to get vaccinated. It’s another to mandate vaccines when you cannot sue the manufacturer for damages if harm ensues. The National vaccine injury compensation fund doesn’t help every vaccine injured person. Don’t they count too?

Take away the liability shield for vax manufacturers and they will do the proper safety testing. That’s how you will stifle the medical freedom movement.

That might be a solution, although I suspect it would not stifle the "medical freedom" movement at all.

“The measles vaccine is not sterilizing.”

It’s pretty much the best sterilising vaccine you can get, almost 100% effective at preventing infection.

“Those who have natural immunity are a better barrier to protect those who cannot be vaccinated.”

Untrue. Vaccine immunity is also lifelong.

“You cannot sue the manufacturer for damages if harm ensues.”

You can, and people do. For the childhood vaccine schedule, vaccine claims have to proceed first through the VICP scheme (vaccine court), which is made as easy as possible for claims to be assessed. Compensation comes from a central fund, raised through an excise tax levied on manufacturers for every dose given. If plaintiffs fail to get compensation via vaccine court, they are free to sue manufacturers direct if they wish (but then they have to bear costs/legal fees, from which they are exempt with respect to vaccine court.

As easy as possible meaning completely impossible.

The measles vaccine IS very effective, 95-97% effective, with 3-5% non-responders who can still get it. But it means that those vaccinated can never acquire the benefits of having had natural measles, among them protection from heart disease and many cancers in later life. That’s what I and many more would choose. I don’t have to, having had it when I was six. Rhett needs to stay home during the outbreak and let as many as possible get natural measles and join the best possible immune herd.

Expand full comment

"The measles vaccine is not sterilizing. "

Effectively no vaccines are sterilising because you need to get infected to stimulate a vaccine-primed immune reaction. However, a few vaccines do prevent symptomatic infection.

"Those who have natural immunity are a better barrier to protect those who cannot be vaccinated."

That is incorrect. Infection-induced immunity to measles does provide strong and long-lasting protection against reinfection. However, it is not a better barrier compared to vaccination when it comes to protecting those who cannot be vaccinated. It also comes at the costs of suffering the infection and risking the far more common and severe adverse effects of the infection.

"The California outbreak included people who were vaccinated."

Yes, that it what immunologists mean when they say the measles vaccination is 97% effective. It means that 3% are still susceptible to infection. But that far better than the unvaccinated who are100% susceptible and 90% likely to become infected if exposed to an infected person.

"you cannot sue the manufacturer for damage"

That is incorrect. You must first go through the "vaccine court" but, if you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can sue the pharmaceutical company in a civil case. Also the pharmaceutical companies pay 75 cents on each component of a vaccine sold to cover the cost of the "vaccine court" so, in that sense, they are liable. Pharmaceutical companies can also be sued if manufacturing processes or faulty labelling etc result in a vaccine causing harm; or for making false claims about a vaccine.

You have been deliberately and knowingly lied to someone who has personally sued pharmaceutical companies on many occasions but continues to tell the public that it cannot be done

"The National vaccine injury compensation fund doesn’t help every vaccine injured person."

Yes it does. What you mean is that it does not compensate a person who has not actually been damaged by a vaccine. The "vaccine court" automatically cover all conditions that are known to be caused by the vaccine, and also favour plaintiffs who can demonstrate a timeline even it a cause and effect relationship has not been established. And, remember, anyone not satisfied with the outcome can pursue a civil action against the manufacturer.

"Don’t they count too?"

Yes, but that does not mean they should be compensated if the vaccine did not cause their injury.

"Take away the liability shield for vax manufacturers and they will do the proper safety testing."

So, no, the only "liability shield" is that you must first go through the vaccine court. It was introduced to prevent wealthy"ambulance chasing" lawyers getting multi-million-dollar settlements for plaintiffs who could afford the risk of litigation and for conditions that occurred after vaccinations but not necessarily caused by the vaccinations (juries tend to be sympathetic and generous where children are concerned amnd it resulted in unfair decisions for extraordinarily high settlements). It resulted in drug companies increasingly withdrawing from vaccine manufacture which threatened to deprive the public of the benefits of vaccination.

Also, no vaccine can get on the market without proper testing of safety and efficacy and no vaccine can remain on the market without proper post-marketing surveillance for rare adverse effects.

Expand full comment

Vaccines are drugs. They are regulated by the same agencies- e.g. EMA in Europe and FDA in the US- and have to undergo rigorous testing. All drugs are assessed for their benefits and their risks and only if the benefits outweigh the risks, they receive a positive recommendation. After a positive EMA recommendation it is in Europe the European Commission that grants market authorisation, after which a drug can be sold in Europe and healthcare systems start evaluating whether to reimburse it on national healthcare systems.

What's different between different types of drugs is what type of benefit/ risk is acceptable. All drugs have to have benefit but the level of risk that is acceptable obviously differs whether you have a vaccine (minimal risk acceptable) or for example a cancer drug (much higher risk acceptable).

That's the EMA website with the latest vaccines approved (it's under medicines and viral therapies)

https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/therapeutic-areas-latest-updates

And then, there is a special section for drug safety- called pharmacovigilance. All drugs get followed up and there are different bodies responsible for that, for frequent side effects national bodies but we also have the UMC- Uppsala Monitoring Centre watching out for very rare side effects:

https://who-umc.org/

Also important not to forget that efficacy ('a drug works') and safety (side effects) work by different logics: if a drug is very effective, you only need to treat a small number to see that it does what it is supposed to do. For rare side effects, that's much harder- if something happens in, let's say 1: 100 000, one first has to see 300 000 patients to be sure and that's more than any clinical study can actually do (that's why the follow-up).

The MMR vaccine has by now been used in millions of people- so from the safety perspective, this is a very well-known drug.

The answer is that freedom protects society from would be dictators, socio and psychopaths rising up anywhere in society, including in the fields of medicine and science. Freedom protects society from oppression and the forced implementation of bad ideas, like replacing solid lifelong immunity to measles with weak, spotty, uncertain, transient immunity from vaccination that destroys herd immunity and leaves infants vulnerable because their vaccinated mothers can't protect them like their naturally infected grandmothers protected them when they were babies. It protects society from pharmaceuticals that create virgin populations out of the young of generations that had strong immunity, creating unique, dangerous vulnerability.

Freedom protects good doctors from the politics and oppression of bad doctors, doctors with bad ideas and bad intent.

Freedom protects visionaries from dogmatists.

To interfere with measles that was a mostly mild self limiting infection with a very low mortality rate at the time was a very bad idea.

Levy pointed out in 1984 that vaccination for measles would backfire and make matters worse in the future as baby boomers, the last generation that had lifelong immunity, died off and left a virgin population with only imperfect, weak vaccine immunity. Well, here we are exactly where Levy predicted we would be.

As for the boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, of course he is important. So important, that RFK Jr is determined to find out what is causing his cancer and research the best treatments to help him, while you are only obsessively focused on measles.

Many children have been killed from the measles vaccine. One tragic case was Holly Stavola, who died from her measles booster at age 5. New Jersey's "Holly's Law" passed years ago enables children to opt out of booster doses with titer tests showing measles antibodies.

Holly Stavola was killed by a drug that was supposed to protect her from an infection that her parents sailed through in childhood. Instead the drug killed her.

Holly would be an adult now. Why wasn't her life important?

Lets use common sense here. If my children have grown up without the vaccine-a-year drill; how likely are they to adopt it as adults?

Highly unlikely. ESPECIALLY gven the number of books and videos we routinely watch on this subject. Telegram is gull of vaccine damaged people and vaccine induced deaths that never get reported on main stream media

Do you know that my son has been thought that IF ever a school official attempts to inject him he has carte blanche to initiate an ultimate and maximum violent response

Grab a pointy object on their desk jab it in their eye up their nose. Bite their finger off, smash a heavy object on their head in self defense. Slash their throat. Back weight their knee cap

Dont stop until they cant get up.

is a death sentence; act accordingly in defending yourself

Those were our drills when he was younger and we feared the possibility a school official might try to vaccinate him "mistakenly" as sometimes happens on the news

As someone who very much wants to protect vulnerable children like Rhett, I very much want everybody to get vaccinated unless they have a valid medical condition that contraindicates vaccination. But I am also a pragmatist and a psychologist, and when it comes to human behavior, I recognize that we are all like particles: "For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction." That is because autonomy is a basic human psychological need, which explains why mandates can backfire. (First link below explains Self Determination Theory, and subsequent links explore its implications for mandates.) Although there have always been some people who oppose vaccines, school vaccine mandates have worked pretty well until recently, when it's becoming increasingly clear they aren't. We need to figure this out, and I hope that we can do so by better understanding human psychology. That doesn't mean I don't get mad at anti-vaxxers, but I recognize they are probably just having a pretty typical reactance to their perception of being controlled, and we are all experiencing a loss of control these days, but coping with it in different ways. Peace.

1 in 135 children today have "profound autism" (The term profound autism is defined as having an IQ of less than 50 or being nonverbal or minimally verbal. Children with profound autism require help with tasks of daily living. Many have epilepsy and behaviors like self-injury and aggression that require round-the-clock support to be safe.) All the CDC can tell you is "we don't know what is causing it, but we know it's not the vaccine schedule. Suuure. Did 1 in 135 children have profound autism in the 1950s and 1960s when measles was a common childhood illness? Absolutely not. Bottom line, no one should be able to tell a parent to light their child on fire to protect others. Thats what the medical freedom movement is about.

As always, long on passion and short on scientific citations of any kind. Let me help you:

"To date there is no convincing evidence that any vaccine causes autism or autism spectrum disorder. Concern has been raised about a possible relation between MMR vaccine and autism by some parents of children with autism. Symptoms of autism are often noticed by parents during the second year of life, and may follow administration of MMR by weeks or months. Two independent nongovernmental groups, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have reviewed the evidence regarding a potential link between autism and MMR vaccine. Both groups independently concluded that available evidence does not support an association, and that the United States should continue its current MMR vaccination policy. Additional research on the causes of autism is needed."

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases. Hamborsky J, Kroger A, Wolfe S, eds. 13th ed. Washington D.C. Public Health Foundation, 2015.

During the years 2001–2004, the Immunization Safety Review Committee of the Institute of Medicine evaluated 8 existing and emerging vaccine safety concerns. One of these reports examined hypotheses about associations between vaccines and autism. The committee concluded that the evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism and between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism.

Category 3: Evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship:

• MMR vaccine and autism

• MMR vaccine and type 1 diabetes mellitus

• DT, TT, or acellular pertussis-containing vaccines and type 1 diabetes mellitus

• Inactivated influenza vaccines and Bell’s palsy

• Inactivated influenza vaccines and exacerbation of asthma or reactive airways disease

in children and adults

Red Book: 2018-2021 Report of the Committee on Infectious Diseases, American Academy of Pediatrics

"Existing evidence on the safety and effectiveness of MMR/MMRV vaccines support their use for mass immunisation. Campaigns aimed at global eradication should assess epidemiological and socioeconomic situations of the countries as well as the capacity to achieve high vaccination coverage. More evidence is needed to assess whether the protective effect of MMR/MMRV could wane with time since immunisation."

"Our review shows that MMR, MMRV and MMR+V vaccines are effective in preventing the infection of children by measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox, with no evidence of an increased risk of autism or encephalitis and a small risk of febrile seizure.

Di Pietrantonj, C., et al. Vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella in children. Cochrane Database of Systematic reviews. https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858. CD004407.pub5.

It seems to me that, while no denies injury from certain vaccines, the research is very clear as to the fact that no known vaccine is responsible for autism, ever. Genetics, older parents, and environmental (epigenetic) elements, such as the lack of, or an over-abundance of micro-nutrients and the disruption of the brain-gut microbiome are, in some aggregate, likely to be responsible.

Zero proof of that last paragraph. None of that just happened over the last 40 years. If vaccines make children “healthier” why are so many sick? Nothing you stated here shows that vaccines are not responsible for the autism epidemic which has gone from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 22 in my lifetime. Autism was regarded as “rare” in the 1980s, and the ability to identify it was known. So stop gaslighting parents who witnessed it happen, we aren’t falling for it.

Expand full comment

"Gaslighting" is in the eye of the beholder. The 1-10,000 figure is simply an accounting figure Kennedy throws out ignoring the change in diagnostic definition/criteria (check the historical changes in the DSM) and the increased ability of healthcare professionals to properly diagnose across the spectrum. It was not rare in the least, but rather properly diagnosed according to old diagnostic criteria that eventually evolved. Again, you cite nothing but trite anti-vaxer rhetoric and absolutely nothing by way of clinical research - "parents witness" is as good as no science at all. Obviously, this is not "settled science," but we can say absolutely definitively that there is not a vaccine on this earth that caused autism in any child. Period.

The author misunderstands the importance of freedom in the US. Mocking and ridiculing freedom as a trivial or disingenuous argument (remember ‘free-dumb’?) will be an ineffective strategy for re-engaging the US public.

Millions of Americans fought and died for freedom. No one has fought and died for mask and vaccine mandates.

Free and voluntary informed consent is the most important ethical principle in medicine. It is essential for public trust in medicine and health professionals. Resort to coercion by the state should only be considered in extraordinary circumstances when public benefit of the intervention is substantial and unambiguously proven and risk to the individual and society is minimal.

This principle was repeatedly violated during the pandemic, leading to the medical freedom movement today. Counterarguments should center on proof of substantial public benefit, not ridiculing the idea of freedom.

One of my points was that vaccine mandates have been around for a long time. I first encountered them in the mid-1960s. I know people who survived smallpox, and of course they knew people who died from it. The people I know had severe scarring that was a common side effect of small pox.

The actual acedemic paper cited in one of the articles does not support what the authors are saying.

You have a valid point about everyone else needing to get vaccinated for measles, even though most would do fine without vaccination, to protect those who cannot be vaccinated. But, have you ever considered that the MMR vaccine has caused many severe side effects and some deaths? Is a child who dies or is permanently injured from an MMR vaccine any less worthy or suffers any less than a child who dies because he cannot be vaccinated? According to CDCs own statistics about 16x more children have died from the MMR vaccine as from measles in about the last 20 years. Should we sacrifice these children to save others?

Expand full comment

Could you link the statistics? I found a 2015 report from the CDC that says there is not good evidence of MMR causing death:

https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/34869

"In fact, a review of the VAERS data reveals that many of the death reports for MMR vaccine involved children with serious preexisting medical conditions or were likely unrelated to vaccination (e.g., accidents). These complete VAERS reports and any accompanying medical records, autopsy reports and death certificates have been reviewed in depth by FDA and CDC physicians and no concerning patterns have emerged that would suggest a causal relationship with the MMR vaccine and death."

Expand full comment
1dEdited

I will try to find the source. I know that it did use raw, unverified VAERS reports. But, keep in mind that studies have estimated that only about 1% of adverse events are even reported to VAERS. Also, in the CDC report you cited it said that “many” (we don’t know the percent) that died in conjunction with vaccination had underlying conditions; but apparently not all, so some may have died primarily from the vaccine. Furthermore, maybe we should not be vaccinating children that have underlying health conditions if they are more likely to be injured or killed by the vaccine. My point still stands; we are knowingly sacrificing the lives of at least some children so that others may be protected. The CDC report said, “FDA and CDC physicians and no concerning patterns have emerged that would suggest a causal relationship with the MMR vaccine and death." Unfortunately, the FDA and CDC proved during COVID that they cannot reliably analyze VAERS reports as they found no signal to suggest mRNA covid vaccines caused myocarditis. Many other studies have found a direct causal link between mRNA vaccines and myocarditis.

Expand full comment

You are completely misrepresenting the purpose of VAERS and obviously didn't read the disclaimer that proceeds any use:

"Key considerations and limitations of VAERS data:

* The number of reports alone cannot be interpreted as evidence of a causal association between a vaccine and an adverse event, or as evidence about the existence, severity, frequency, or rates of problems associated with vaccines.

* Reports may include incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental and unverified information.

* VAERS does not obtain follow up records on every report. If a report is classified as serious, VAERS requests additional information, such as health records, to further evaluate the report.

* VAERS data are limited to vaccine adverse event reports received between 1990 and the most recent date for which data are available.VAERS data do not represent all known safety information for a vaccine and should be interpreted in the context of other scientific information."

It was developed as an open-source system for researchers to collect patterns of data that may warrant further study. Anyone - from physicians, to healthcare workers, and even patients - can directly file, search, and even download and interpret data as they wish, regardless of whether their report is accurate as to actually having an association with a known vaccine. It is full of the most ridiculous, most unsubstantiated, and most inane forms of data imaginable - including reports of harm and death that are known to be completely contrived. You want to entertain yourself for an evening? Download a year's worth of VAERS' data into Excel and examine.

And by the way, the link between mRNA vaccines and myocarditis is so RARE as to be insignificant, and several studies actually found that you are significantly more likely to develop myocarditis from Covid-19 that from the mRNA vaccine:

"A systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that the risk of myocarditis is 7 times more apparent in COVID-19 patients [RR: 15 (95% CI: 11.09–19.81] as compared to vaccination group RR: 2 (95% CI: 1.44–2.65). These findings support the usage of COVID-19 vaccination in all the age groups to reduce the likelihood of developing future infections as well as cardiac complications including myocarditis."

Ulucay, AS, et al. Do COVID-19 viral infection and its mRNA vaccine carry an equivalent risk of myocarditis? Review of the current evidence, insights, and future directions. Indian Heart J. 2023 Jul 1;75(4):217–223. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2023.06.009

"I know that it did use raw, unverified VAERS reports. "

You simply cannot use VAERS for that purpose. There is a specific warning at the VAERS website to this effect. VAERS is an early warning system but it cannot establish cause and effect. There are other systems - such as VSD - which test the early warning signals detected by VAERS to establish whether the vaccination was the cause.

"1% of adverse events are even reported to VAERS"

This is how anti-vaccine activists lie to you. It is called a "lie of omission". The 1% refers to adverse effects such as "pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site". It does not apply to adverse effects such as "anaphylactic reaction" or "permanent disability" or "death". ALL these adverse effects are reported. The incidence of these adverse effect is 1 in a million or less.

Compare that with death from measles infection of 1 in 1000.

"maybe we should not be vaccinating children that have underlying health conditions"

Maybe we should listen the recognised experts in immunology and vaccinology rather than a random internet commentator who has already demonstrated a profound lack of even basic knowledge about vaccines and infections. Okay?

The MMR vaccine (and other live attenuated vaccines) is not given to children who have significant impairment of their immune systems. It is especailly recommended to children with illnesses that do not impair their immune systems because they are particularly susceptible to the measles infection. The death rate of measles in some African countries is as high a 1 in 10.

"we are knowingly sacrificing the lives of at least some children so that others may be protected"

Come on, you can't be that dense.

Death from the measles vaccination: far less than 1 in 1,000,000.

Death from the measles infection: 1 in 1000.

"VAERS reports as they found no signal to suggest mRNA covid vaccines caused myocarditis."

THAT is a blatant lie. The signal was picked up by VAERS, a warning went out, and within a fortnight the link was confirmed through the VSD. And other similar systems in other countries. COVID-19 in fact was a excellent demonstration of the effectiveness of the VEARS signal detection system and the VSD confirmation process.

“studies have estimated that only about 1% of adverse events are even reported to VAERS.”

I challenge you to produce the published research on the data behind that claim (Lazarus won’t cut it).

And look up VAERS before you decide it provides a denominator for events or that reports to it are always causally linked to the vaccines.

The family were those hideous anti-vaxxers we all read about. You know, the types of people who later their change viewpoint after their child dies as the result of a vaccine. Here is the story of Holly's death from MMR shot, which caused the NJ legislature to enact Holly's law. This data is not hard to find.

Tragedy

On February 4th, 2000, Holly Stavola, our daughter, and a sibling, a grandchild, and a niece died tragically and unnecessarily from encephalopathy due to her 2nd MMR vaccination. Holly was a completely healthy, bright, kind and beautiful 5 year old child. The day she received her vaccinations at her 5 year well check-up Holly was not sick nor immunocompromised in any way. She received the MMR, the oral polio (which was no longer recommended as of Jan. 2000), the DTaP, the Mantoux test, and my son received the Chickenpox Vaccine (he was 9 years old).

You have been lied to;

"the MMR vaccine has caused ... some deaths?"

The only way an MMR vaccination can lead to death is as a result of an anaphylactic reaction to the vaccine or one of its components.

An anaphylactic reaction occurs in about 1 in a million, and there have been no documented deaths from anaphylactic reactions to measles vaccinations since the introduction of protocols requiring observation for 15–20 minutes post-vaccination and the availability of adrenaline for immediate treatment.

Compare this to a mortality rate of 1 in 1000 for a measles infection.

"the MMR vaccine has caused many severe side effects"

The risks of MMR vaccination are far, far, less than the complications of the infection. They mostly consists of pain, redness, and swelling at the vaccination site; fever; febrile convulsions which are harmless and ocur more commonly after an infection; thrombocytopenia which is almost always mild and temporary and almost never results in permanent harm.

Compare that with a measles mortality rate of 1 in 1000.

"permanently injured from an MMR vaccine"

It is possible as a result of thrombocytopenia which is almost always mild and temporary and almost never results in permanent harm.

Again compare that with a measles death rate of 1 in 1000.

"most would do fine without vaccination"

As I said, you have been lied to:

Death: 1 in 1000.

Encephalitis: 1 in 1000.

Pneumonia: 1 in 20.

Otitis Media: 1 in 10.

Hospitalisation: 1 in 5

So it’s not the case that it’s acceptable to force anyone to take any vax. Any vax might do severe and permanent damage. While the VPDs might also disable, every person has the human right to do his own risk-benefit calculation.

"it’s not the case that it’s acceptable to force anyone to take any vax"

Nobody is forced to take any vaccination, you lying hound.

Nobody is forcibly held down and forcibly injected with a vaccine agaisnt their will.

But with all decisions come consequences, and that does not apply only to decisions about vaccines. You are not forcibly prevented form driving at 100mph through main street but, if you do, there will be consequences.

Get over yourself.

"Any vax might do severe and permanent damage"

Typical arsehole antivaxxer who ALWAYS mentions the mostly mild and temporary adverse effects of a vaccination and NEVER mentions the far more common and serious effects of the infection that are prevented by the vaccination.

"very person has the human right to do his own risk-benefit calculation"

No, arsehole. You are not entitled to your own lying interpretation of the risk-benefit calculation.

Death from measles vaccination: FAR LESS THAN 1 in i million.

Death fro measles infection: 1 in 1000.

This means that death from measles is far more than 1000 times more common than death from vaccinations and this is NOT open to personal interpretation. Arsehole.

If Dr. Offit was REALLY concerned about ONE death from the measles in 20 years (!), then he should be REALLY concerned about the significant number of MOTHERS who KNOW that their child was severely injured shortly after the MMR vaccine.

This TIME magazine story discusses how a CDC Senior Scientist (!), William Thompson, PhD, has obtained "whistleblower" status because he claims that his group of researcher falsified data when they conducted one of the leading studies that supposedly asserted that the vaccine was safe, but in reality, there was a connection between a vaccine and autism.

https://time.com/3208886/whistleblower-claims-cdc-covered-up-data-showing-vaccine-autism-link/

So, if Dr. Offit is truly sincere about one death, he should listen to MOTHERS plus listen to WHISTLEBLOWERS, especially when they are Senior Scientists at the CDC.

Oh, look, here is that DECEITFUL CRANK, Dana Ullman again.

William Thompson was not a "whistleblower".

He was a goddamn liar who knew he was lying and didn't care. He claimed that a 2004 CDC study on the MMR vaccine and autism omitted data suggesting a higher incidence of autism in African American boys vaccinated before 36 months of age. His claims were publicized by anti-vaccine activist, Andrew Wakefield.

ANDREW WAKEFIELD!

The truth, as William Thompson well knows, is that the connection was found by "subgroup analysis". It is a legitimate process only when it is used to generate hypotheses that then must be subjected to a separate piece of research using different data.

In scientific research, a p-value of 0.05 is used which means there is a 1 in 20 chance of getting a false result (a bit more complicated than that but never mind). That means that, if you do a whole series of subgroup analyses, you will eventually find a statistical correlation just by chance. THAT is what happened here.

So, when that LYING CRANK, Dana Ullman, says "there was a connection between a vaccine and autism", he means "there was a connection between a vaccine and autism

- IN A SUBGROUP ANALYSIS.

- IN AFRICAN AMERICAN BOYS.

- VACCINATED BEFORE 36 MONTHS."

THIS IS A LIE BY OMISSION, and the DECEITFUL LYING CRANK knows exactly what he is doing.

Do you believe encephalitis can lead to autism? Encephalitis is listed as a potential adverse event in all of the childhood vaccines’ manufacturers’ package inserts.

Expand full comment

It's not a matter of belief.

The neurological effects of encephalitis can produce symptoms that overlap with the symptoms of autism but there is no evidence of a link between the two.

Encephalitis is an extremely rare adverse effect *associated with* the MMR vaccine occurring in about 1 in 1 million doses in individuals with weakened immune systems.

The MMR vaccine is not given to individuals with weakened immune systems/
