Thimerosal in Vaccines
The children died in less than 2 days. The Royal Commission said that they died of infection. Thus the children died of infection in less than 2 days. Duh !

Also, I did not realize the MMR vaccine was all live virus. So no mercury as as an antispetic agent. Why is MMR associated with mercury in this case?

It is only by those who are ignorant about the issues. Almost ten years ago I was on a listserv for my son's disability. Someone asked a question about the MMR vaccine, and another person replied with a warning on thimerosal. I then replied saying: "For clarification, the MMR vaccine has never contained thimerosal."
Then the person who had posted a warning on thimerosal emailed the moderator telling her to ban me from the listserv for not being up on the science. I replied that all she had to do was provide the evidence the MMR contained thimerosal, while providing CDC links explaining why it never contained it. They backed down. Then on any online discussion I would note that you can tell the level of knowledge someone had on vaccines was in the basement when they said this phrase: "the thimerosal in the MMR vaccine." It is somewhere up there with "vaccines being directly injected in the bloodstream." |

Why? The Urabe mumps vaccine strain was associated with an increased risk of asceptic meningitis. Unfortunately, the Japanese government is too stubborn and nationalistic to import MMR-II and will not implement a vaccine programme to provide adequate measles, mumps and rubella coverage.
Clay stated that MMR and MMR-V contained "heavy metals" and as Chris explained is the hallmark of ignorant anti-vaxx rhetoric. Clay refuses to either provide substantiation or admit he made a mistake. Este |

Really? Take the time to view this. We as humans have no way to process Mercury. See 15 minutes into the video. |

Individual data points can show up all over the map. What do the aggregates show, Clayton?
By the way, why aren't you answering Bram Kaandorp regarding your little "Death Sentence" dramatic tootsie roll you left on the carpet? Left speechless? Are you afraid to touch it? |

There's also the studies discussed here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2908388/ which address both rates of autism and age of onset.
"...investigators did not observe a clustering of autism diagnoses relative to the time that children received MMR vaccine, nor did they observe a difference in age at autism diagnosis between those vaccinated and not vaccinated or between those vaccinated before or after 18 months of age" "...an increase in autism diagnoses despite stable MMR vaccination rates" "...the increase in the number of autism diagnoses did not correlate with MMR vaccination rates" "Autism rates increased coincident with a decrease in MMR vaccination rates." "Of 309 children hospitalized for autistic disorders, no clustering occurred relative to the time of MMR vaccination." "The authors observed no differences in the relative risk of autism between those who did and those who did not receive MMR vaccine. Among autistic children, no relationship between date of vaccination and development of autism was observed." "The authors observed no differences in age at vaccination between autistic and nonautistic children, which suggests that early age of MMR vaccine exposure was not a risk factor for autism." Clayton doesn't seem to understand the the questions he's seeking answers to have already been asked and answered by researchers. If he bothered to actually look at the evidence which is constantly spoon-fed to him on this thread he'd be well-aware of the research that has already been conducted: research that renders his proposed study redundant. He probably won't read what I'm about to post, either. http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/...rse-of-autism/

No Clayton; I don't watch YooToob videos to obtain scientific data. I've read the OAP transcripts; I've read a good deal of Wakefield's GMC FTP transcripts and you simply do not have any data to support your claim that MMR causes autism nor that hundreds of thousands of parents claim so nor that heavy metals are in MMR. Come up with studies Clayton; I'm not interested in silly videos.
Actually they don't. A well known "autism mum" has three daughters who are autistic; the first two were vaccinated; the third was not. Mum still blames vaccines. Better than blaming their own genes in their minds. Este |

There are many parents in the world who are convinced their children became ill due to witchcraft. Do they know what they are talking about?
Honestly Clayton, you've returned to this argument over and over again: some tiny percent of parents believe vaccines caused autism in their children. Why would their anedoctal opinion have any validity, given their lack of knowledge of medicine, disease, and statistics, compared to the conclusions of doctors and scientists who have actually done detailed, large studies?? Having that pointed out to you over and over again, how on earth can you believe this is such a convincing point that you bother to repeat it? |

Wrong- we process and excrete mercury in many different ways that help remove it from the body. See the past hundred years of scientific study. Here's one summary:
http://enhs.umn.edu/current/5103_spr.../mercdose.html You would easily have found this information if you bothered to actually research the question rather than wasting your time watching a biased YouTube video. As I've warned you before, the websites you cite are lying to you. Remember the old saying, "Fool me once shame on you...?" |

And Ms. Stagliano did not have a flu jab when she was pregnant; she was speaking in general. She is blaming her childhood vaccines on the unvaccinated child's autism. Anti-vaxx ignorance knows no depths. Este |

Check out page 56 of the December 2012 issue of Scientific American. Is Drug Research Trustworthy?
I'm sure Vaccine Research is also behaving just as badly or worse. |

Do you think an argument made from incredulity is reason enough to put children and infants at risk of serious harm or death acceptable, Clayton? If so, why?

Clayton, why aren't you responding to polite, relevant posts that have been addressed to you? Don't you want to engage in honest debate? You might find the evidence you've been pointed to and the questions you've been asked inconvenient but I think it's rather rude to ignore them - and it makes it harder to have a proper discussion if people pick and choose which posts to respond to and which to ignore. (Particularly when those posts being ignored contain important evidence that is relevant to one or more strands of the discussion, or questions that would, if answered, make a viewpoint clear.)

I think what Clayton is doing is referring to the problems with drug company-funded research (the kind of thing documented in Ben Goldacre's Bad Pharma) and insinuating that because there are issues with research sponsored by Big Pharma there must be issues with the research people cite in this thread on vaccination. Which, as far as I can tell, tends to be work conducted by independent researchers (e.g. the research on MMR and autism that we keep posting and Clayton keeps ignoring).
I think there was some fairly detailed discussion of this earlier in the thread, where the nature of the research demonstrating that there was no link between MMR and autism was covered. Of course, that won't stop Clayton repeating canards that have already been debunked. There appears to be nothing that will. |

Thanks, jdc324.
At the end of the day, CM's arguments seem based more on rumour and innuendo than anything else, don't they? |

Surely the only way to progress this is to find out why it is that Clayton believes vaccines cause autism? The arguments in favor of a link appear to me to be justifications after the fact using any anecdotes and quotes that can be found. I take it this isn't Clayton's only fringe belief?

That's atypical. Normally anti-vaxers are coiming from a more new-age/homeopathy/electric fields kind of place. Holocaust denial is a new one on me. Presumably the link is the victim/conspiracy angle.
If you ask me, which you haven't, lots of the fringe posters enjoy dramatizing their lives with some narrative involving secret knowledge, magic, and conspiracies etc. Does Clayton actually want to be convinced by something less exciting? |
