Well, it's not even a week into the New Year and already the news is attacking Andrew Wakefield. Can anyone say that pharma is panicked? Already flue vaccine numbers are dropped, if one believes the polls. I haven't really checked the Pertussis vaccine numbers, but I spoke to quite a few people who were not concerned with the "outbreak" of it, since Pertussis follows a regular cycle. Hmm, I guess these were informed parents, who were not going to buy into the media scare tactics.
So here we have BMJ reports Wakefield was a fraud. I'm sure I'm going to get a phone call about this news some time soon. There are certain people who think badly of me for not vaccinating our kids, though will not try to understand why. I get filtered into being called, "Those people", and have nothing to back up my decision. I suppose if I mentioned anything about it being a religious decision, I'd be crucified or called crazy! Wait, that's already happened. Feeling sarcastic this morning.
Anyhow, I hadn't even had a cup of coffee or woken up enough when I saw this new attack on my local news, so went looking to see what Age of Autism had to say. British medical journal shows misjudgement Age of Autism has covered the whole trial from what I remember. Hard on the heals of yesterday's article they wrote, is the CryShame response to BMJ report, on Age of Autism.
Sigh, I feel like I should have checked the news a little more yesterday to have seen this. So, I figured I'd pop on and place the two articles-one of attack, and one of defense. Honestly, this whole debate about whether the MMR vaccine, or Any other vaccine causes Autsim, is like beating a dead horse. Genetically, everyone reacts differently. Very simply put, peanuts can kill some people and not others. Vaccines effect some people, and not others. What pharma needs to be doing is putting the money into finding out why, not making more vaccines and pushing them. But, pharma would just take too much of a money hit if they actually admitted that their precious vaccines may possibly cause Autism. It's bad enough they bully folks who bring out the truth and defy them, isn't it? Gee, wonder who I want to put my trust in.
