Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1250479 United States 04/19/2012 03:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Vaccines and Autism – The Wrong Argument [link to www.whale.to] "The keys to maintaining any unsafe commercial activity are misdirection, disinformation, big lies, and pervasive propaganda. To be effective, the commercial interests use persons whom the public trusts. These spokespersons then promote the activity. They lie about its risks. They portray an activity that is less than safe as not only safe but also desirable. In the place of proof of safety, these propagandists invariably tout the "lack of evidence of harm". In addition, the promoters of an unsafe activity do all they can to bury studies that question the activity’s safety under an avalanche of 'recognized' studies that are peddled as showing 'no evidence of harm'. Those who benefit from the commercial activity also do all they can to discredit those persons who dare to publish studies that question the safety of the activity. Further, they use their wealth to buy other "experts" to refute any link between the activity and the harm that it inflicts on the 'general public'." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13054977 United States 04/19/2012 03:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 2033927 you are a liar and a shill. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14706748 I have read all the Wakefield research. He is correct. I am a medical researcher for 40 years. Apparently, you haven't figured out why we need so many vaccines... Vitamin D deficiency... Not that I believe vaccines directly causes autism but they probably make the symptoms worse. Anyway, my bet for true cause of autism is vitamin D deficiency. Your body converts vitamin D into a powerful hormone called calcitriol which acts as genetic regulator which makes sure your body function properly. When given enough vitamin D daily, your immune system will be functioning optimally. That's why it is so effective against flu, cold, etc. And you need vitamin D for proper brain development in the womb... [link to www.vitamindcouncil.org] A study showed that pregnant mothers need 4,000 IU of vitamin D a day to reduce birth complications. Compare that to only 600 IU by gov't. Another study showed that lactating mothers needed 6,400 IU a day to be able to produce vitamin D rich breast milk to keep babies healthy. |
