Is there a sensible website dedicated to the autism/vaccine paranoia?
Advertisements [?]
I'm looking for something reasonable:eyes: and simple to respond to some emails. I've received three emails about this from the same person.
Here's the fun part. She ran for US House of Representative twice (and lost).

I deleted the first two that were more hysterical. Here's the latest one that she has forwarded:

Good Morning!

Use this where helpful to educate our friends. Mercury has been taken out of so many things, with strong warnings of the danger, yet it still goes into every pregnant woman, every senior citizen, most children, without our awareness…..called the shot in the arm. At the same time, the non-mercury immunizations often are on the shelf, not requested, and sometimes just tossed out.

I don’t want to state outright that mercury is the only cause of autism. There are undoubtedly other points of impact on children and seniors. The fact is that the rates of diagnosis for both autism and Alzheimer is going up, steeply, at about the same rate. The only thing in common that I can find is: mercury in immunizations.

What am I missing?



With thanks.......XXXXXXXXX



FACTS:

1 in 6 enter school with dev delay-1 in 150 classical autism estimates,15 year old stats, now thought 1 in 70.

Mercury (thimerosal) continues to be given large amounts in influenza vaccines routinely recommended to infants and pregnant women.

Mercury is the second most toxic substance known to man-it affects every cell in the body-the brain, kidneys, heart, GI system, etc

There were no safety studies done on children before it was use in vaccines in the early 1930's

There are no ongoing long term studies evaluating effects of vaccines.

Current studies are meant for damage control. We need damage recoverery/repair, that will be costly, ie educatation already impacted, few can afford medical therapies. But we must stop the damage and work for repair

Mercury is just one of the toxic ingredients in vaccines, need a vaccinated vs unvaccinated study

Most people do not know mercury still in vaccines, esp influenza. Most would not get it if they knew.

Mercury was removed form vaccines-1999 it was recommended to remove ASAP but was NEVER BANNED. Still remains in 90% of flu shots at full toxic strength.

Methy and Ethyl like wicked stepsisters. Both cause damage at nanomolar level (from Age of Autism articles-some very good ones on there now. I just started to read them.)
