Vaccine/autism CT discussion
The proof of the pudding that there are conspiracies at high levels of society is media's insistence that there are NONE. Let's see. Big pharma and the mainstream media insist vaccines are absolutely safe but close to NONE of the vaccines are tested with a control group. They have convinced much of the American public that questioning the safety of vaccines is criminal. Yet commercial after commercial airs up front and personal that if you've taken DRUG X, Y, or Z contact my law firm. Now you know those drugs, I think ZOLOFT is the star of the newer ripe for litigation drugs, were supposed to be tested with a control group! What happened. And the media pretty much crucifies anyone who dares suggest a link between autism and vaccines. Why would the media trust and speak out for an industry/community with such a poor drug testing track record? |

Nobody says that. There are inherent risks to anything you decide to put in your body. The risks however, are very low. Much lower than people like you would have other idiots believe.
I have no idea about this specifically, but since you said it, I suspected it was nonsense. A 5 min Google suggests it is. I do like the fact that ambulance-chasing lawyers are a good metric for you when determining the truth of a matter. Also, what does Zoloft et al have to do with vaccines? I also like the fact that apparently but here they are providing advertising for said ambulance chasers. Seems like the Main Stream Media is having it two-ways, those cunning buggers. That's because there isn't any evidence to support it. You're basically complaining that the media is "crucifying" people for telling lies. Poor information convinces the easily led and gullible into making equally poor lifestyle choices (re vaccination), which can impact the lives of third parties. And then the really gullible waste other people's time on the internet by posting petulant nonsense. |

I am not a medical researcher, but you would need to clarify this.

Being in a control group and not receiving a new vaccine is considered a danger to children because they do not receive protection.

But they are;
Safety is (mostly) tested in the Phase I - III trials. Efficacy is tested against the current standard vaccine(s). Simplisticly, the combination of these determines the risk\benefit ratio and whether the new vaccine is a suitable replacement Everything is then checked with epidemiology when it's in use (handy for those 1 in 100,00 side effects) |

So you don't really mean "there's no control group". You just mean you have trouble understanding studies that don't use no vaccination as a control. Although it does appear that this isn't true either.

1) http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Biologi.../UCM054459.pdf
Quote:
**All studies listed excluded children who weren’t healthy–roughly 60% of the general population of infants and children would not be accepted into a vaccine study. You ignored the above. It means the above unhealthy children will likely be required to get vaccinated with no "unhealthy" children involved in the study. 60 freaking percent. That is criminal. |

Ohhhhhh...you mean placebo control groups. So you mean that even though there are probably hundreds of studies that compare vaccinated and unvaccinated groups under similar conditions, that's not a control group? Why do you think that?
You should understand that no one here believes things just because they were posted on an anti-vaccine website. Nor do most here feel the need to check these so-called facts. It is widely believed that such websites misquote people, use facts incorrectly or even make things up and pretend they are true. In short, I don't care what the Inside Vaccine website has to say because I believe neither you nor the people who made that website understand anything about clinical trials or medical research. You would have more credibility if you stopped pasting excerpts from anti-vaccine websites and referred to actual studies. |

The decision to award compensation in that case had nothing to do with a vaccine causing autism.
Quote:
The vaccine aggravated a pre-existing condition and compensation was awarded accordingly. Saying otherwise is nothing short of dishonest. |

It wasn't intended to. If the case is gonna give the parents a fair settlement the language of the settlement is of little importance to them but super important for the "record" that the vaccine company admits no guilt. Much more important.
The 9 vaccines did cause the autism. Certainly the girl was part of the 60% of all the children that were unhealthy and not allowed to take part in the survey mentioned in a previous post. |

The toddler had a condition but did not have autism. 48hrs after she got 9 vaccines, I'm guessing by inoculation, she got autism, she became autistic. I don't give a crap what the decision says because the language of the decision was agreed to by opposing councils. And neither should you. |

I see you are 32. If you have young children or intend to have them I hope you ignore your faith in vaccines and space them, one at a time, as far apart as possible.
That's what my son and his wife have done for their little girl who will be 3 this summer. Both are special ed teachers. |

pssst...Clayton? This stuff is everywhere. I think you should look into it. It needs someone with your talent for delving into an issue in depth.

Have you any actual evidence for this assertion? Or are you just claiming your inexpert opinion makes it true?
I'm sure you'll provide you credentials in microbiology, biochemistry, virology, epidemiology and neurology then. So you admit you know nothing about this case, not even the nature of the vaccines or their method of deployment. Further ignorance on display. And the parents. So you're advocating we ignore this case then? |

Clayton, your statement appears to be syntactically valid, and I am sure it has some sort of intuitive connotations for you, but I can't extract any actual meaning from it at all.
