I am deeply goddamn tired of reading shit from people who have convinced themselves that they know better than doctors with regards to whatever issues they think they have. The internet is a bad place, and it spills out into the real world way too quick ( Read more... )

stupidity, internet, health

As it should be, for any thinking human.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. They have reduced the amount of mercury in vaccines given to children, but not eliminated it entirely. There are still trace amounts in some varieties of the DTaP (diptheria, tetanus, and whooping cough) vaccine, as well as some of the varieties of that vaccine that are broken apart into its constituent pieces, some of the HepA/HepB vaccines, and, as you noted, in most varieties of the flu vaccine, which yes, has been routinely given to kids. Look it up on the FDA's website. Am I saying this causes autism? No. But I doubt it is good for you. Am I saying you shouldn't vaccinate your kids? Absolutely not. But neither should people who are suspicious of blanket drug administration be viewed as completely off their rockers. (edited for formatting only)

Oh, looks like seyrah did my work for me (see her post below). I was right: what has happened is the FDA (i.e. the government arm of big pharm) has used the "serving size" trick to claim no mercury in vaccines when in fact there is still mercury in vaccines. Surprise surprise, kids on autism get behavior problems for which big pharm has pricey drugs available ( ... )

Nope. If that's the point you took away from either of our arguments, you did not read. My point, at least, was that while I don't know what mercury DOES do to kids, I doubt it is something good ( ... )

If you look back, you will note that "children, giving vaccines to" is equally the point of this post, and at no time was my original point about vaccines causing autism. It was about "children, giving vaccines to."

I have proved that mercury is still present in vaccines, which was my point. Now direct your autism-comments to those who are actually arguing that vaccines DO cause autism.

Oh, credit where credit is due, seyrah gave me the TV autism article, but it is stupid slate, and I can't paste a link. Seyrah if you please?
