MMR

I would have to say that the MMR vaccine is the most "controversial" topic that we have researched & discussed with people. And here is the synopsis of what we have learned, by way of MYTH vs. TRUTH.
MYTH: "Dr. Andrew Wakefield's 1998 study linking autism & MMR was discredited because there is no found associative link"
TRUTH: Dr. Wakefield's study was put under scrutiny based on his data collection methods not the correlation that was found in 170 cases of autism with the MMR vaccine. Furthermore, contrary to what the mainstream media will tell you,  there ARE a number of other studies that replicate his findings (Here are the first 28 of them:The Journal of Pediatrics November 1999; 135(5):559-63, The Journal of Pediatrics 2000; 138(3): 366-372, Journal of Clinical Immunology November 2003; 23(6): 504-517, Journal of Neuroimmunology 2005  , Brain, Behavior and Immunity 1993; 7: 97-103, Pediatric Neurology 2003; 28(4): 1-3, Neuropsychobiology 2005; 51:77-85, The Journal of Pediatrics May 2005;146(5):605-10 , Autism Insights 2009; 1: 1-11, Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology February 2009; 23(2): 95-98, Annals of Clinical Psychiatry 2009:21(3): 148-161, Journal of Child Neurology June 29, 2009; 000:1-6 , Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders March 2009;39(3):405-13 , Medical Hypotheses August 1998;51:133-144., Journal of Child Neurology July 2000; ;15(7):429-35, Lancet. 1972;2:883–884., Journal of Autism and Childhood Schizophrenia January-March 1971;1:48-62, Journal of Pediatrics March 2001;138:366-372. , Molecular Psychiatry 2002;7:375-382. , American Journal of Gastroenterolgy April 2004;598-605., Journal of Clinical Immunology November 2003;23:504-517., Neuroimmunology April 2006;173(1-2):126-34., Prog.

MYTH: Measels, Mumps & Rubella are fatal diseases.
TRUTH: Measels (fever, cough, sneezing, sore throat, rash) usually runs it's course in about 10 days. If left UNTREATED, complications may follow, as with any illness. In extremely rare cases, complications may lead to more severe illness or extremely rare fatality. The TREATMENT??? VITAMIN A!!! 
Mumps (swollen glands, headache, fever, chills) runs it's course in about 14 days. TREATMENT??? BEDREST!!! 
Rubella (fever, headache, Bruising (rare), Inflammation of the eyes (bloodshot eyes), Muscle or joint pain) Generally runs it's course in 3 days.TREATMENT? TYLENOL

According to the Centers for Disease Control's Information Statement:

Measles 

Causes rash, cough, runny nose, eye irritation, fever. 

Can lead to ear infection, pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, and death.

Mumps 

Causes fever, headache, swollen glands. 

Can lead to deafness, meningitis (infection of the brain 

and spinal cord covering), infection of the pancreas, 

painful swelling of the testicles or ovaries, and, rarely, 

death.

*****The CDC claims the mumps vaccine is 76 to 95 percent effective, but they offer no scientific evidence whatsoever to support that claim. To date, there has never been a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study published on the mumps vaccine in humans. -Natural News

There is a big difference between CAUSES and CAN LEAD TO. Many illnesses CAN LEAD TO a number of additional damages, including death. The common cold CAN LEAD TO death!!! The CDC's own statements show us that we have to be diligent in our research AND in how the information is presented to us!

***Now, for the sake of arguement...let's look at the side effects (ie: Symptoms) that may occur due to the MMR vaccine: Fever (1 in 6 people who receive the vaccine), rash (1 in 20), swollen glands, seizures (1 in 3,000), pain & stiffness in joints (1 in 4), low platelet count which can lead to bleeding disorder (1 in 300,000), deafness, permanent brain damage, coma, lowered consciousness.

***ALSO, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS INFORMATION IS ON THE MMR VACCINE PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET...Did your doctor share this with you???



ARGUMENT: Everyone has a moral obligation to vaccinate their child from these diseases. Otherwise, we will have another epidemic.
OUR OPINION: We are advocates of the "betterment of society" and would certainly not do anything that puts other people at risk. However, there are other ways to immunize a child, without using pharmaceuticals. Breast feeding & delayed cord clamping are just two of the ways to help immunize a child naturally. Also, as stated above, none of the aforementioned diseases (measles, mumps, rubella) are fatal!
TRUTH: One recent outbreak of mumps in Ocean County found that  "77 percent of the patients with mumps had been vaccinated for the disease as a child" - Ocean County Health Department

And don't forget...from a previous post...

This Doctor's study is about to change EVERYTHING!!!

Already, cases being presented in the Federal Vaccine Court are WINNING! In other words, the government is FINALLY admitting that YES, PERMANENT DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY CERTAIN VACCINES!!!
