		<description>Jenny McCarthy is truly annoying. I have two autistic sons.  I don&#039;t believe that their autism was caused by vaccinations.  I don&#039;t know what caused their autism but I believe it was &quot;there&quot; since birth.  I also have my sons on the special diet and supplements.  They also have intensive therapy for behaviour, speech and motor skills.  I know  how much all this costs.  Jenny McCarthy is proclaimed a &quot;warrior Mom&quot;, a hero for her son.  She IS a hero for her son. She&#039;s done everything she can for him and it seems to be helping. I&#039;m very happy for her that her son is doing so well but the real heros are the parents who have to re-mortgage their homes, go into horrible debt, etc. or the single moms (or dads) doing it alone struggling to make ends meet and trying to give their children what help they can.  All the while, waiting for government services to kick in.  It&#039;s all very well and easy to say&quot; do this, do that&quot; when you&#039;ve got the money and the &quot;status&quot; behind you.  Try doing the same thing, Jenny, on one income, working full-time without a nanny.  Then we&#039;ll talk about warriors.</description>

		<description>NEW JERSEY KIDS FORCED TO GET VACCINATED
Posted on December 13, 2007 by WHY

 The Public Health Council in New Jersey has voted to require all children attending preschool or daycare to be injected with four different vaccines.....  This means that those parents who refuse to participate in such vaccination programs would be labeled &quot;criminals&quot; and arrested at gunpoint.
*******

MEDICAL TYRANNY IN MARYLAND: Parents Threatened With Jail Time for Not Vaccinating Children 

State Attorney General Glenn F. Ivey has announced he is willing to criminalize parents if they don&#039;t bring them to the courthouse to have them injected, on the spot......

This will all be conducted at gunpoint, with armed personnel and attack dogs at the ready.........
*******

Want to learn more about Vaccines and Autism?  Want to learn why the Amish show no signs of Autism while one in 166 who get vaccinated also get Autism?

		<description>I take great offense when anyone tries to use genetics as part of their argument against the vaccine connection. The research I&#039;ve read has had led me to conclude that these children are more susceptible to damage from toxins because of their genetics. What about the G alpha protein defect theory? Just casually referring to genetics can be as damaging as the public health nurse who told me, &quot;vaccines can&#039;t cause autism. autism is genetic.&quot; Funny. I haven&#039;t read any news about that discovery. Did they isolate something and forget to tell all of us parents?

		<description>Well, in humans it is not possible to do anything other than opine based on assumptions about thimerosal and what it is doing to kids.  Not that this is a perfect model, but a highly controlled study has been carried out at UC Davis with the MIND institute testing the role of thimerosal in the normal development of mice.  They actually find null effects, which is to say nothing.  The provisos are that the mouse used in studies showing thimerosal are poor mice anyways and the more recent study simply refuted the earlier.

		<description>Thanks for your reply Steven.  

I was wondering, could you supply a link or reference to one of those studies you mention which use unvaccinated kids as a control group?</description>
