Bill Gates: If we do a really great job on vaccines, we can lower population…

26 February, 2010 (12:01) | 6 - News, 2 - Vaccines | By: Mom

Here’s a quote from Bill Gates that you can see/hear for yourself….

If we do a really great job on new vaccines, healthcare, reproductive health services, we could lower that (the population) by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.

Wakefield Inquisitioners Have Their Day

Wakefield Inquisitioners Have Their Day

I’ve been asked many times over the last few weeks to share my opinion on the verdict of the U.K’s General Medical Council (GMC) about Dr. Andrew Wakefield and the retraction of his 1998 article, “Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children” by the medical journal, Lancet. The many inquiries fall into four basic questions.

Question #1: What do you know about Dr. Wakefield’s 1998 paper? Do you feel the response of the GMC was appropriate?
Question #2: Do you have concerns over Dr. Wakefield’s failure to disclose financial links to a malpractice attorney and to patents he was working on to develop a single vaccine solution?
Question #3: Do you think the Lancet was justified in pulling the paper for pure scientific reasons?
Question #4: Are you simply a blinded, “Dr. Andy Groupie”?

The AAP only looks out for your child if the subject has nothing to do with vaccines..

22 February, 2010 (08:47) | 6 - News | By: Mom

It’s things like this that are infuriating to a parent of a child with autism…. Up to 77 children die per year because of choking and they want to redesign the hot dog. How many children are injured and die from a toxic vaccine and you keep pushing the party line about the safety of vaccines? I guess the hot dog industry just doesn’t have enough money to keep you comfy and quiet like big pHARMa does.

Pediatricians call for a choke-proof hot dog
http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2010-02-22-1Achoke22_ST_N.htm
By Liz Szabo, USA TODAY

Nutritionists have long warned of the perils of hot dogs: fat, sodium and preservatives to name a few.
Now, the American Academy of Pediatrics wants foods like hot dogs to come with a warning label — not because of their nutritional risks but because they pose a choking hazard to babies and children.

Better yet, the academy would like to see foods such as hot dogs “redesigned” so their size, shape and texture make them less likely to lodge in a youngster’s throat. More than 10,000 children under 14 go to the emergency room each year after choking on food, and up to 77 die, says the new policy statement, published online today in Pediatrics.
About 17% of food-related asphyxiations are caused by hot dogs.

“If you were to take the best engineers in the world and try to design the perfect plug for a child’s airway, it would be a hot dog,” says statement author Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. “I’m a pediatric emergency doctor, and to try to get them out once they’re wedged in, it’s almost impossible.”

The Consumer Product Safety Commission requires labels on toys with small parts alerting people not to give them to kids under 3. Yet there are no required warnings on food, though more than half of non-fatal choking episodes involve food, Smith says.

“No parents can watch all of their kids 100% of the time,” Smith says. “The best way to protect kids is to design these risks out of existence.”

Though Smith says he doesn’t know exactly how someone would redesign a hot dog, he’s certain that some savvy inventor will find a way.

Janet Riley, president of the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, supports the academy’s call to better educate parents and caregivers about choking prevention. “Ensuring the safety of the foods we service to children is critically important for us,” Riley says.

But Riley questions whether warning labels are needed. She notes that more than half of hot dogs sold in stores already have choking-prevention tips on their packages, advising parents to cut them into small pieces. “As a mother who has fed toddlers cylindrical foods like grapes, bananas, hot dogs and carrots, I ‘redesigned’ them in my kitchen by cutting them with a paring knife until my children were old enough to manage on their own,” Riley says.

The Food and Drug Administration, which has authority to recall products it considers “unfit for food,” plans to review the new statement, spokeswoman Rita Chappelle says.

Given the health risks of obesity, pediatrician Alan Greene, author of Feeding Baby Green, says, “The last thing we need is to redesign candy and junk food with cool shapes, so we can give them to kids even younger.”

Dr. Steven Novella Makes The Case for Vaccine Autism Link… By Mistake

You have got to love this piece…. Seriously folks, this one is a must read…

Dr. Steven Novella Makes The Case for Vaccine Autism Link… By Mistake
By J.B. Handley

“Many children are diagnosed between the age of 2 and 3, during the height of the childhood vaccine schedule… The true onset of autism in most ASD children likely began a year or two prior to the vaccines that are blamed as the cause.” WRONG.

Thinking about supporting ICare4Autism….. read this…

This was deleted off of their website sometime this evening after many of us in the autism community were infuriated by what we had read. Google cache came to the rescue…..

You probably don’t even need to ask, but they won’t be getting any support from me.

icare4autism.org - Do Vaccines Cause Autism?

Here’s a link to google cache to view it there. (I do not know how long deleted pages last on here.)

icare4autism.org is the website for The International Center for Autism Research & Education, Inc. Clearly the only research they’re interested in has nothing to do with vaccines. You can’t tell me this sat on their website for almost six months without being noticed - and now suddenly, they don’t agree with what this man says. Yeah, okay, right.

MUST READ: McCain’s proposed 2010 Dietary Supplement Bill - MUST TAKE ACTION!!

13 February, 2010 (22:59) | 6 - News, 3 - Biomed | By: Mom

On Feb 3rd 2010 Sen. John McCain introduced a HORRIFIC bill, S.3002 called the “Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010″ (DSSA). If passed as currently written, this bill would result in the disappearance of many (if not all) nutritional supplements currently on the market from store shelves as it will give the FDA the right to pull any supplement it desires. It will give the FDA unbridled power to destroy smaller companies by moving production of supplements to larger pharmaceutical companies. Your legal right to access supplements and herbs will be a thing of the past.

Japanese Data Show Vaccines Cause Autism

Japanese Data Show Vaccines Cause Autism
June 3, 2009

Just months following the US Court of Federal Claims rejection of the claim that the MMR vaccine causes autism, here you will see data from formal peer refereed medical papers showing that vaccines caused autism in Japanese children and will be doing the same to children around the world. The number of Japanese children developing autism rose and fell in direct proportion to the number of children vaccinated each year.

NJ Residents who support Vaccination CHOICE, Bill A 243 - Update and HELP NEEDED

13 February, 2010 (22:31) | 6 - News, 2 - Vaccines | By: Mom

If you have time to write, make a phone call or 2 to the Governor…any thing is helpful. We have been working on this for years! If the government wants to keep mandating more and more, barely tested vaccines.. parents need choices for their children!
Thanks for any help you can provide….

————————

Just wanted to update you on the statues of the Conscientious Exemption Bill. It has a new number for this new 2 year legislative cycle. The bill is A243 (coincidently, it is the same number as the NJAICV po. box that we have had for 10 years!). It has been pre-filed for this session. We do not yet have a Senate Companion bill, but hope to in the near future.

You can access the bill here: http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bills/BillView.asp not sure if this link takes you right to it, or you have to type in A243

On another positive note, a constituent and I met with Assemblywoman Nellie Pou (Chair of the Appropriations Committee). She spoke with us for over an hour and has agreed to co-sponsor A243. She was quite concerned with how the Public Health Council mandates new vaccines with no accountability and agrees that parents should have a choice. Asw. Pou was also responsible for NOT posting the horrible fluoride bill in her committee, effectively killing it for the last session. (It will most likely rear its head again this session)

I want to encourage all of you to try and set up a meeting with your legislators. It is imperative that a constituent of the district be involved. We will find someone to attend a meeting with you. It seems that 2 people is a good number to go in with as it allows for some good give and take conversation. Expect to be allotted about a half hour for a meeting. You can find out who your legislators are as well as who was a co-sponsor in the last session by going to the NJCVC website www.njvaccinationchoice.org (Click on Sponsor Tally)

Now is a good time to try to schedule meetings as they are not too busy in Trenton yet.

Keep calling the governor, writing letters to the editor and spreading the word among friends. We must stay diligent. Our time as come and we all need to keep the pressure on.

Please keep me posted and send me any questions that you have.
