Basing your demand for removal of vaccinations on anecdotal evidence of what happened to one person is fear mongering. Plain and simple.
O.K., I was making a point, one which I would hope would make people think. The government pays out claims to 100 families a year for vaccine related death. This DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL THE CHILDREN WHO ARE PERMANENTLY HAMRED BY VACCINES. Then it should be easy for you to link that for us, no? Dan Burton did not have a grandchild die, as you assumed.
He has two grandchildren and both had adverse reactions to their vaccines, resulting in permanent harm to one of them. Here you go again. Thought maybe you had learned your lesson, but I guess not. Please prove that I assumed this. Ever read any of the hearings Congress conducted on vaccines?
No, obviously you haven't. Now you have officially crossed over into that hinter land populated by smarmy asshats that assume they are not only smarter, but also better than everyone. You are the worst sort of poster in that regard. Did you even bother to read any of the information I posted, or check the links?
I seriously doubt it. Since you are that asshat with all the answers, why the doubt? Don't you KNOW if I did or didn't? If you do not care about learning anything regarding this topic, then why even bother posting on this thread? Solely to piss you off, because you are such a moron.

I don't understand why people fear someone who questions the "status quo."
What is wrong with asking if these vaccines are really safe? If they are really necessary? If we might be using too many vaccines?
Are these unreasonable questions?
Did you ever wonder why the stats on fatalities are a little hard to find?
Have you ever seen the statistics?
Can you show them to me?
If you think I 'fear' you for any reason, you do not understand. Questioning the status quo is more than good, I think it should be encouraged. If you had actually read my response to 2112 you MIGHT have caught that. ONE of my objections is your fear mongering. Oh yeah, 'call the congressman that did lose a kid and see what he thinks.' Very unconvincing. Anecdotal even. Do you want him to legislate based on his personal experience? I don't. If things need changed, fine. But not based on one congressman's personal loss. I haven't wondered about the statistics, and I can't show them to you precisely because of that. Proof you assumed he had a child die. Look, I apologized for getting mad when you called me a fear mongerer. I think you are a pretty decent person and I do not want to fight with you. Biker dudes scare me. All I am trying to do is get people to care enough to do a little research on their own. The media has been complicit in helping to hide infomration on the adverse effects of some vaccines. Do I think we should do away with all vaccines? I do not know. Why don't I know when I seem to know everything about everything? It's because of the deceit and tactics used by the "establishment" regarding vaccines and adverse reactions. I do not have any children, but if I did and one was harmed by a vaccine, I would be shouting from the rooftops about the possible risks. Is 100 child deaths a year an acceptable loss for keeping the majority of kids safer? Depends on if one of those 100 deaths were your child I suppose. As I already posted, less than 10% of adverse reactions to vaccines are reported to VAERS. Why? There are some serious problems with our vaccination policies. We do not have the long term studies that are truly needed to prove these vaccines are safe. We do not know how all these vaccines might affect long term health, how they act together, or if they might be one of the causes for the rise in Autism, or child diabetes. More research needs to be done and making even more vaccines mandatory without the long term studies is, in my opinion, irresponsible. I am just tired of the drug companies buying legislation and hiding evidence that any of their products might be harmful. The FDA and the mass media are complicit in this deception and it is time the people took notice.

Yes, based solely on that, you are right. I was led there by your posts. Whether or not he had a son that actually dies, or a grandson hurt, does not alter the effectiveness of my point however. But that is neither here nor there. On this issue, I do agree with you. I do not know about vaccines. My medical training involved people that were bleeding and broken. Vaccinations wasn't an issue for any of my patients usually. Could more research be done? Yes. Should it? Yes, I think it should. Anything should be able to withstand an investigation and research. I found myself arguing with you more because I didn't like your approach. And then you repeatedly put false words in my mouth. That's pretty much it.

I found myself arguing with you more because I didn't like your approach. And then you repeatedly put false words in my mouth. That's pretty much it. Cool, hopefully that is behind us now. You, as well as the other people here should know by now that I am an opinionated jerk, but that doesn't mean that I might not be right once in a while. I did not used to this way, but a decade of debating people who always accept the status quo has made me this way. Still, I should try to be more civil and be sure to kick me in the ass if I get out of line again. When it comes to vaccines, as well as other issues, I try to imagine what it would be like if some of these things happened to me. What if my child was seriously harmed by a vaccine? How would I react? How would I feel? Where would I put my energies? I truly feel sorry for any parent of a child who was harmed by a vaccine. It is obvious parents are not given accurate information about the risks associated with vaccines and this needs to change. Because of the internet, it is more difficult to bury information like the "establishment" has done for decades. This has allowed some parents to learn more about this issue and they have genuine concerns based on real evidence. Why is it so hard to find information on adverse reactions to vaccines? Why has the media not fairly covered these stories? Thomas E. Balbier, the program's director, said that the fund(The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act) has paid out $1.3 billion to 1,700 families since 1987, and the government has appealed only 57 cases of the 5,400 decided in that time. http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/v7/n12/full/nm1201-1264c.htmlVaccine Damage: Parents receive $2bn compensation pay-outs 04 October 2007 Vaccine manufacturers have paid out nearly $2bn in damages to parents in America whose children were harmed by one of the childhood jabs such as the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) or DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus). In all, around 2,000 families have received compensation payments that have averaged $850,000 each. There are a further 700 claims that are going through the pipeline. None of the claims is for autism as medical researchers say they have failed to find a link between the disease and the MMR vaccine, despite the initial findings made by Dr Andrew Wakefield. Instead they are for a wide spectrum of physical and mental conditions that are likely to have been caused by one of the vaccinations. Around 7,000 parents have filed a claim of an adverse reaction with America’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). To win an award, the claimant must prove a causal link to a vaccine. As the medical establishment has refused to recognise any link to autism, the VICP has so far rejected 300 claims for this outright. http://www.wddty.com/03363800370060881833/vaccine-damage-parents-receive-2bn-compensation-pay-outs.htmlI SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO TO NEWSMAX TO READ ABOUT THE FLAWED CDC STUDY ON THIMEROSAL, BUT I do, if I want to know the truth.

The sane answer to this, is not to shun vaccination (medical ludditism is a good description here), but to advocate development of better vaccines, and less harmful preservatives for those vaccines. It would be the best option. But in real world vaccines bring almost no profit per dose, while production of antibodies, antibiotics and antiviral drugs is a lucrative business. Not to mention that these drugs have even more side effects. That's very true, it's saddening how sickness and economics interact. Still, and I think very few would disagree here, I'll take the monkey blood over the polio any day. The point is that you can go without the monkey blood and still not get the polio. Or more specfically, you can go without the monkey blood, the mercury, the lead, the formadahyde, (and to go further beyond topic) the benzene, the fluride, the aspertame and other phykenloids (sp?), the corn syrup and corn oil, the saccrine, the splenda, and still AVOID getting some of these things altogether. Then, instead of living the life of an 60 year old Alzheimers patient, you can have an active 60 year old life with mental faculty, like your great grandparents did. And for your children, instead of giving them things that the FDA, OSHA, the EPA, and every other organization in the world that regulates substances, calls toxins, carcinogens, cancer causing agents, heavy metals, and environmental hazards, they can catch a flu every once and a while, but be able to concentrate in class, and NOT have the need to slam their head into a wall over and over again as a result of diseases like ADD, ADHD, autism, and other known, but unexplained, neuro-chemical disorders that are EXPOLDING on to the scene. Yea, yea, yea, yea, people a long time ago died because they didn't have thes vaccines. But guess what people, this is the 21ST CENTURY, we have stuff that would prevent a pneumonia patient from dying that we just didn't have 100 years ago. That MASSIVE escilation in "unexplained" illnesses far outweight the potential for outbreak of old time diseases in a medical 21 century. Just like this Bird Flu (which is a swine flu, btw) scare. You people compare it to a pandemic over 150 years ago, as if, medicine has been standing still for 150 years. If a flu breaks out only the sickest and youngest are at serious risk according to them, the rest of you are just looking to avoid getting the inconvienient flu. And the hospitals have come a long way in protecting people from the death of the flu. Every year, you go out and get a flu shot, and shove mercury (and todays thymerosol has 5 times MORE mercury than it did only 10 years ago.) into your blood stream, along with all kinds of incredibly nasty stuff, used as preservatives and agents in the making of the vaccine, and just because you don't drop dead right there on the sight, statistics indicate that they are safe. And, "FDA studies show no link," my butt. How long did it take the FDA to determine that smoking cigarettes that contained over 500 different types of known carcinogens, definitely caused cancer? Have they yet? They are still legal. The cigarette comapnies can still put every single one of those known carcinogens in the cigarette. Use flavors, and tricks to make the smoke more "mild" so idiots can inhale deeper and for longer periods of time increasing the damage AND addiction. As for the RNA and DNA of animals being injected into children at or near birth. Not only is this untested. Or it better be untested. Sick -ss idea of injecting babies with animal blood to see what happens is repugnnt, so these things are untested on humans, except when gathering statistics after the injections. But not obnly is this untested, our 21st CENTURY medicine is beginning to realize that RNA injected into the blood stream has the potential to change our own DNA structure. Let's not even mention, well, okay let's mention, the process of obtaining animal blood for the making of vaccines. First, we are not all that protective of our human blood supply. Google infections from transfusions and read all about the mistakes being made in that little area of science. So to imagine the srtingent methods are being utilized to ensure that none of the blood contains anything potentially dangerous would be silly. Not to mention anything that these animals may have that we don't understand or won't understand until the 22nd CENTURY. Where did AIDS come from? Remember hearing about a male flight attendant and sex with monkeys? Where do you think AIDS came from? Maybe it did start of with the Rhesis Monkey. Maybe it was in a polio shot. Maybe the RNA of a sick money infused the DNA of a recipient of polio. Would you take AIDS over polio? Is that a choice that had to be made? Was the patient given the choice? And what did happen to the bill that Kennedy Jr. called for that would have banned the use of thimerosol by the people I claim are bent on destroying your mind and free will? Bush Set to Veto HHS-Labor-Education Appropriations Bill Due to Provision to Remove Mercury From Infant Vaccines http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/07-19-2007/0004628856&EDATE=WASHINGTON, July 18/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- According to the Congressional Quarterly, the White House stated on Tuesday that President Bush would veto the HHS-Labor-Education Appropriations Bill because of the cost and "objectionable provisions" such as a measure to ban the use of childhood flu vaccines that contain thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative.
FreeinTX The reason I could go without the vaccine and still not get polio is because everyone else has been vaccinated against it. there is no one to carry it to me. that's a good thing, because if I did run into a carrier (no doubt someone who's parent's refused to get him vaccinated), I would be screwed.

So then, the vaccine doesn't really work then, does it? These diseases don't just pop out of thin air. They have to be contracted from someone else. Either the vaccine works, or it doesn't. Which is it?

There are drawbacks and problems, and no, there is not a perfect success rates. There are some negative impacts, but there is the benefit of polio not having as many potential place to thrive (in people) near us.
