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

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

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
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.

9 Questions That Stump Every Pro-Vaccine Advocate and Their Claims

9 Questions That Stump Every Pro-Vaccine Advocate and Their Claims

David Mihalovic, ND [naturopathic medical doctor]

October 28, 2009

Since the flu pandemic was declared, there have been several so-called “vaccine experts” coming out of the wood work attempting to justify the effectiveness of vaccines. All of them parrot the same ridiculous historical and pseudoscientific perspectives of vaccinations which are easily squelched with the following 9 questions.

Claim: The study of vaccines, their historical record of achievements, effectiveness, safety and mechanism in humans are well understood and proven in scientific and medical circles.
Fact: The claim is completely false.

1. What to ask: Could you please provide one double-blind, placebo-controlled study that can prove the safety and effectiveness of vaccines?

2. What to ask: Could you please provide scientific evidence on ANY study which can confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of vaccines?

3. What to ask: Could you please provide scientific evidence which can prove that disease reduction in any part of the world, at any point in history was attributable to inoculation of populations?

4. What to ask: Could you please explain how the safety and mechanism of vaccines in the human body are scientifically proven if their pharmacokinetics (the study of bodily absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of ingredients) are never examined or analyzed in any vaccine study?

One of the most critical elements which defines the toxicity potential of any vaccine are its pharmacokinetic properties. Drug companies and health agencies refuse to consider the study, analysis or evaluation of the pharmacokinetic properties of any vaccine.

There is not one double-blind, placebo-controlled study in the history of vaccine development that has ever proven their safety, effectiveness or achievements (unless those achievements have underlined their damage to human health).

There are also no controlled studies completed in any country which have objectively proven that vaccines have had any direct or consequential effect on the reduction of any type of disease in any part of the world.

Every single study that has ever attempted to validate the safety and effectiveness of vaccines has conclusively established carcinogenic, mutagenic, neurotoxic or fertility impairments, but they won’t address those.

Claim: Preservatives and chemical additives used in the manufacture of vaccines are safe and no studies have been linked or proven them unsafe for use in humans.
Fact: The claim is completely false.

5. What to ask: Could you please provide scientific justification as to how injecting a human being with a confirmed neurotoxin is beneficial to human health and prevents disease?

6. What to ask: Can you provide a risk/benefit profile on how the benefits of injecting a known neurotoxin exceeds its risks to human health for the intended goal of preventing disease?

This issue is no longer even open to debate. It is a scientifically established fact in literally hundreds of studies that the preservatives and chemical additives in vaccines damage cells. Neurotoxicity, immune suppression, immune-mediated chronic inflammation and carcinogenic proliferation are just a few of several effects that have been observed on the human body. See a list of chemicals in vaccines

Fortunately, the drug companies still tell us the damage vaccines have on the human body. People just don’t read them. All you have to do is look at the insert for any vaccine, and it will detail the exact ingredients, alerts and potentially lethal effects.

See my latest analysis of the Arepanrix H1N1 vaccine for an example.

Any medical professional who believes that it is justified to inject any type of neurotoxin into any person to prevent any disease is completely misguided, misinformed, deluded and ignorant of any logic regarding human health.

Claim: Once an individual is injected with the foreign antigen in the vaccine, that individual becomes immune to future infections.
Fact: The claim is completely false.

7. What to ask: Could you please provide scientific justification on how bypassing the respiratory tract (or mucous membrane) is advantageous and how directly injecting viruses into the bloodstream enhances immune functioning and prevents future infections?

8. What to ask: Could you please provide scientific justification on how a vaccine would prevent viruses from mutating?

9. What to ask: Could you please provide scientific justification as to how a vaccination can target a virus in an infected individual who does not have the exact viral configuration or strain the vaccine was developed for?

All promoters of vaccination fail to realize that the respiratory tract of humans (actually all mammals) contains antibodies which initiates natural immune responses within the respiratory tract mucosa. Bypassing this mucosal aspect of the immune system by directly injecting viruses into the bloodstream leads to a corruption in the immune system itself. As a result, the pathogenic viruses or bacteria cannot be eliminated by the immune system and remain in the body, where they will further grow and/or mutate as the individual is exposed to ever more antigens and toxins in the environment which continue to assault the immune system.

Despite the injection of any type of vaccine, viruses continue circulating through the body, mutating and transforming into other organisms. The ability of a vaccine manufacturer to target the exact viral strain without knowing its mutagenic properties is equivalent to shooting a gun at a fixed target that has already been moved from its location. You would be shooting at what was, not what is!

Flu viruses, may mutate, change or adapt several times over a period of one flu season, making the seasonal influenza vaccine 100% redundant and ineffective every single flu season. Ironically, the natural immune defenses of the human body can target these changes but the vaccines cannot.

I have never encountered one pro-vaccine advocate, whether medically or scientifically qualified, who could answer even 1 let alone all 9 of these questions. One or all of the following will happen when debating any of the above questions:

– They will concede defeat and admit they are stumped

– They will attempt to discredit unrelated issues that do not pertain to the question.

– They will formulate their response and rebuttal based on historical arguments and scientific studies which have been disproved over and over again. Not one pro-vaccine advocate will ever directly address these questions in an open mainstream venue.

Why Signing a Waiver to Avoid Vaccines Can Be Considered Abuse

I have been saying this and saying this and saying this….. you just don’t sign this, you find another doctor.

Why Signing a Waiver to Avoid Vaccines Can Be Considered Abuse
by Anai Rhoads Ford

Recently, the Washington Post printed an article about vaccine waivers that could jeopardize your parental rights: “The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that doctors ask parents who refuse to vaccinate their children to sign a waiver indicating they are aware of the risks of refusal.”

Note: Despite that vaccines have been linked to asthma, autism, diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome, the author implies that parents are being overly theatrical about the shots.

Know Your Rights

By endorsing this particular waiver, parents would essentially be signing an admittance of neglect and/or “abuse” for refusing vaccines. The language contained in this waiver could put parents and caregivers in jeopardy down the line if they should ever find themselves in court due to their child’s health problems, confronted with child protective services, in a divorce, or in just about any matter pertaining to that child that could be used against the parent(s).

Please read any waiver provided by your child’s doctor carefully before signing. Instead, offer a formally written and signed letter that simply says that you do not wish to vaccinate your child. If you are unsure of the language in the waiver, buy some time by telling your doctor that you need to consult with a lawyer before signing it.

Know your rights – say no to vaccines. Your doctor will try to bully you – you have the right to refuse anything you feel is harmful to your child. If your doctor won’t listen, go to another doctor who will.

Check your state’s laws regarding exemption. Most states will allow you to avoid vaccinations if you have a religious or ethical reason. However – keep in mind that it is your right not to disclose your faith or your full reasons for not wanting to vaccinate your child.

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.

Pharma Not in Business of Health, Healing, Cures, Wellness

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

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

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.
