CDC and FDA Sells Out Your Child to Protect Offit’s Reputation?

After the ridiculous response from Mike Kroll to the article that I wrote in the Zephyr and my rather “heated” response, I want to reiterate the original intention of the article: parents should not just take the word of their pediatrician or family doctor when considering what to do regarding childhood vaccinations. I do not say this lightly, but from personal experience! I can attest to the fact that your doctor will not be sitting with your child as they reach extreme fevers, as they quickly become chronically constipated or ill post vaccination. They will not be there for you when your infant loses their language skills or begin having horrible tantrums and either quickly or slowly loses all interest in their family and their outside world. They will also not be there changing your 8, nine or even 13 year old daughter or son’s diapers.

I know countless parents that clearly identify with my situation. Doctors will, as a direct self preservation response, refuse to allow you to believe that these inoculations were the reason for your child’s problems. You will lose valuable time in your child’s recovery. It is best if you educate yourself and that you determine what is best for your child, thereby making the decision and the ultimate responsibility…yours and yours alone.

Allow me to give you a scenario that you will certainly run into if you are taking your child to the health department or pediatrician’s office in the next few weeks or months. If you follow the CDC and AAP’s guidelines for the mandated vaccine schedule, you will soon have your child inoculated with the Rotateq vaccine for the Rotavirus. Prior to this relatively new vaccine, the Rotashield vaccine was utilized to inoculate your child for this virus that causes diarrhea. Rotashield was removed from the schedule after a number of deaths related to intussusceptions, a horrible way for an infant to die as their intestines twist and they begin to show signs of stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea (yes the very same symptom that this vaccine is for), blood in their stool and sometimes death.

Doctors and health department officials will not tell you that on February 13th 2010, the FDA issued a public warning about Rotateq and 28 cases of intussusceptions, hell they probably don’t even know! They will however, tell you that thousands of children die each year from the Rotavirus. This is true but a clever marketing tool because they don’t die here in the U.S. in those numbers but rather in third world countries where clean water and the means to rehydrate children are scarce or non-existent. A great way to market a vaccine or any other product! Unless of course it happens to be your child writhing in pain and requiring surgery or God forbid, dying as the consequence of a vaccine for a disease that has practically zero mortality rates here in the United States!

The other fact that every parent should begin considering: The Rotashield vaccine was withdrawn from the childhood vaccine schedule for fewer cases of intussusceptions and deaths than the new vaccine currently used! How could this possibly be, you ask? If you have ever read a mainstream newspaper story or seen a news program on local or national news regarding the link between vaccines and autism, the one face that you are sure to see over and over again, is that of Dr. Paul Offit from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Now why this is, is beyond me, since he has never treated an autistic child and has never recovered an autistic child. So why would this play a role in what we are discussing today? Because Dr. Paul Offit is one of the patent holders on the Rotateq vaccine! To put it more bluntly: the CDC and the FDA care more about the reputation of this despicable man than they do about your child! It truly is that plain and simple. So the next time you consider vaccinating your child, do yourself a favor and err on the side of caution. Your child just might pay the price for an industry that is reluctant to cast a shadow on their vaccine champion.

Educate, Don’t Vaccinate!
