A Doctor friend went to DC and lobbied against Mercury based on his own child who developed Autism at about ager3. He had all the normal child shots. He seemed normal until one day he was not. It is there only chld.
PersonallyI have often worndered if Autism was an indirect result of an undiagnosed allergy to a substance not connected chemically to Mercury, or perhaps the doseage it too high for infants and toddlers? If I had a young child I do not know what I would do.

Consider the lack of logic in that presumption.
IF: autism is the result of allergy OR mercury
THEN:
only people with those allergies or exposure to mercury would be autistic.
SINCE:
autism doesn't seem to follow any particular pattern, and affects people with, without allergies, with and without exposure to mercury, with, without all kinds of possible criteria...
THEN:
none of these things can possibly be 'the cause' of autism.
It's not just the mercury ,but a whole other pile of neurologically damadging and toxic substances all mixed together...and now that we've foolishly uped the vaccine schedule by adding more and more vaccines..almost yearly...our most precious asset, our children, are the ones who will the price with their lives and their health....

vaccines cause disease and disabilities, and deaths
No, they do not and you have seen the studies and statistics in the regular parenting forum.
There are vaccine reactions, but they are very rare. The diseases vaccines prevent are much more disabling. I am 65 and lived through the polio epidemic when I was a child. Believe me, you do NOT want your child to get polio. Pertussis is currently making a comeback as herd immunity declines and pertussis is a horrific disease. Seriously, purehuman, you need to stop spreading junk science and take a look at the real science.
For any parents who are interested, there are several threads on vaccines in the parenting forum where the links have been given.
vaccines have been proven over, and over and over to be very damadging to your immune system, it's your choice, but if you're having doubts I recommend research..there are many many good sites out there that explain the risks associated with vaccinationhttp://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/vaccines.htm
Not true. All vaccines go through clinical trials.
"]The gold standard of medical science is the double blind crossover placebo study. This test has never been performed on any vaccine currently licensed in Australia."
And it never will be! A "crossover placebo study" is impossible with a vaccine. It would require vaccinating half the subjects for the first half of the trial, then vaccinating the people who received placebo in the first half for the second half of the trial. Then all subjects have been vaccinated. You have no placebo group for the second half of the trial.
This silliness tells me the author of this garbage is an ignorant nincompoop.
2- Vaccines contain toxic additives and heavy metals.
"CONCLUSION
Parents should be reassured that quantities of mercury,
aluminum, and formaldehyde contained in
vaccines are likely to be harmless on the basis of
exposure studies in humans or experimental studies
in animals."
3- Vaccines are contaminated with human and animal viruses and bacteria
4 - Vaccines can cause serious immediate side effects.
Sure. One study showed the risk of anaphylaxis was 0 to 14.4 cases per
1 000 000 doses: RISK OF ANAPHYLAXIS AFTER VACCINATION OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS -- Moss 114 (2): 524 -- Pediatrics (http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/reprint/114/2/S1/524 - broken link). This is something any medical office administering medications should be prepared to treat.
Inflicted Head Trauma in Children (http://www2.wfubmc.edu/articles/inflicted+head+trauma/ - broken link) : "vaccinations and seizures do not cause the constellation of symptoms seen with violent shaking."
Vaccination, seizures and 'vaccine damage'. [Curr Opin Neurol. 2007] - PubMed result : "RECENT FINDINGS: Over the last decade the introduction of new vaccines such as the acellular pertussis vaccine has produced a reduction in seizures following vaccination, the outcome of which was benign even with older vaccines. New evidence emerged in 2006 showing that cases of alleged 'vaccine encephalopathy' are due to mutations within a sodium channel gene. The weight of epidemiological evidence does not support a relationship between vaccination and childhood epileptic encephalopathies or autism spectrum disorders."
5 - Vaccines can cause serious long-term side effects.
Vaccines have not been shown to cause any of the medical conditions in this ridiculous list. Just grasping at straws to justify not using vaccines.
6 - Vaccines do not necessarily protect against infectious diseases.
A misinterpretation of the way vaccines work. Suppose that an infection with virus X will occur in 50% of people exposed to it. There is a vaccine that will prevent it in 90% of people exposed to it. Ninety percent of the population receives the vaccine, ten percent does not. Expose a population of 100 000 people to virus X. Ninety thousand have been vaccinated. Ten percent of those are infected anyway: 9 000. Ten thousand did not get the vaccine. Five thousand of those get the virus. Yes, more people in the vaccinated group got the virus. However, 81 000 in the vaccinated group did not get it. So, 1 in 9 in the vaccinated group got sick, and 1 in 2 in the unvaccinated group got sick. The unvaccinated group is almost 5 times as likely to get sick. Take away the vaccine, and 50 000 get sick.
7 - Doctors, as paid salesmen for vaccine products, are no longer considered to be trustworthy arbiters of their safety and effectiveness.
I know nothing about medical care in Australia. In the USA, no doctor makes a significant amount of money off vaccines. most barely break even.
8 - Pharmaceutical companies have paid for almost all vaccine research to date.
Drug companies also do not make big money from vaccines. That is why many pharm companies have gotten out of the vaccine business.
9 - Doctors and health professionals rarely if ever report vaccine reactions.
That is because serious reactions are so rare, most doctors will never see one! Minor reactions would not generate a report --- time consuming and a waste of money.
10 - Some childhood illnesses have beneficial aspects and therefore, prevention may not necessarily be in the best interests of the child.
