Hi, LadyFierce:
It is good to have a well thought-out opinion. I posted Wayne Green's comments only because of the influenza issue that, apparently, is an opinion shared by others who have more credibility. Green is a bit of a nut, but is worried, as I am, about the
lemming factor, especially with regard to current medical practice and policies.
Personally, if I had the choice again to make about MMR and other vaccinations, I would still proceed with them--but perhaps not that combination and instead stagger them, if possible. And I would certainly get several opinions about the wisdom of such an innoculation at six months old. I know that this is the time when mother's transferred immunities have bottomed out, but I would certainly find out whether they are
all absolutely necessary by this age. The problem with these vaccinations has not been discovered, but a strong statistical linkage has been made. Certainly, autism did occur before the vaccinations, but it was much more rare. And what many are not aware of is the condition autism
plus Crohn's Disease; that is statistically significant.
I am also aware that many HLA B27 adults vaccinated with the hepatitis B inoculum have developed AS, or a more severe expression, after and (in their own words) as a direct result of the vaccination. And, I freely admit that I possess a
healthy skepticism about the medical community in general, having enough bad experiences of my own, directly related to AS treatment.
I'm sure Wayne Green is all for medical research, I don't think he implied anything to the contrary, but I do wonder: If there were a cure for AS, would your doctor actually know about it? Or even a more effective treatment, for example, proven 20 years ago. The real answer surprised me, too!
Best Regards,
