My son is 8 months and will be going for his 9 month check up and shots soon and I am getting more and more concerned about autism being possibly linked to vaccines. Which vaccines am I okay to stay away from and which ones are maybe considered safer??? My doctor doesn’t seem to think there is a link so isn’t helpful…
NONE. NO VACCINES ARE SAFE.
They are ineffective and poisonous. Do you really want things like monkey and dog and human fetal tissues injected into your baby? Do you want to risk paralysis, neurological disorders, autism, immune disorders, and death? These severe reactions happen all the time! It’s common as can be but you never hear about it because the reaction sare always blamed on something else even though recent vaccination is always a part of the equation.
They do NOTHING to stop diseases. Did you know that 80% of all domestic cases of these communicable diseases occur in vaccinated populations? Mainly schools… where the government forces kids to get immunized against said diseases.
It’s a big fat lie. A money making con. And if you do your research you will RUN, not walk away from vaccines.
Here’s some links to check out.

OH. Need more proof? The government just conceded the link to autism by settling in fedral court. It was proven in court that vaccinations caused autism in a child. The government had to make monetary compensations to the child!!!! If that doesn’t give you all the proof you need I don’t know how else to convince you. Read below…

Hi, I am not a native english speaker, so I can state the names of the vaccines. I recently read about that link as well, and it is important that you get a pediatrist who shares the same thoughts as he does, otherwise your children might get more shots than you would want to.
Just go for the mortal disease vaccines. Mumps and chickenpox and all those, I would let those go.

Yes, all the doctors say there is no link, but the facts are facts! I’m very concerned to. Why babies need soooo many vaccines! This is just business, I start to think.
Everyone says that the MMR vaccine is the worst.
I hope everything will be OK with our babies.
Good luck!

I have been a nanny for 15yrs and I have seen four kids come down with Autism after the MMR immunization. So, "I" think there IS a link. But the risk is small, and it helps more kids than it hurts. But the hurt is big. Why else would thousand of parents be in court over there once perfect children who are now permanently damaged by these drugs? Weigh the statistic and decide for yourself. If you are that worried, just stay away from Thimerosal and MMR.

The US government has made an unprecedented concession in Federal Court: mercury laced vaccines resulted in causing a child to become autistic and the child is entitled to compensation.
David Kirby, first to break the news in The Huffington Post (below) on Feb. 25, wrote: "The unprecedented concession was filed on November 9, and sealed to protect the plaintiff’s identify. It was obtained through individuals unrelated to the case."
"The doctors conceded that the child was healthy and developing normally until her 18-month well-baby visit, when she received vaccinations against nine different diseases all at once (two contained thimerosal). Days later, the girl began spiraling downward into a cascade of illnesses and setbacks that, within months, presented as symptoms of autism, including: No response to verbal direction; loss of language skills; no eye contact; loss of "relatedness;" insomnia; incessant screaming; arching; and "watching the florescent lights repeatedly during examination."
Seven months after vaccination, the patient was diagnosed by a leading neurologist with "regressive encephalopathy (brain disease) with features consistent with autistic spectrum disorder, following normal development." The girl also met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) official criteria for autism.
In its written concession, the government said: "The vaccinations received on July 19, 2000, significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder which predisposed her to deficits in cellular energy metabolism, and manifested as a regressive encephalopathy with features of ASD." However, there is no evidence that this girl, prior to vaccination, suffered from any kind of "disorder" at all- genetic, mitochondrial or otherwise. Some forms of Mt disease are so mild that the person is unaware of being affected. This perfectly developing girl may have had Mt disorder at the time of vaccination, but nobody detected, or even suspected it.
The case is one of 4,900 autism cases currently pending in Federal "Vaccine Court."
Kirby raises numerous speculative questions about the significance of the concession and how the government will proceed from here on:
How will the concession in this case affect the government position in other cases?
How many children with autism had an underlying mitochondrial disorder?
What are the implications for medicine and public health?
If a significant minority of autism cases can be linked to Mitochondrial disease and vaccines, shouldn’t these products one day carry an FDA Black Box warning label, and shouldn’t children with Mt disorders be exempt from mandatory immunization?
Who will pay to clean up the mess of vaccine-caused disabling conditions?
How will the concession affect public attitude about the safety of vaccines?

Government Concedes Vaccine-Autism Case in Federal Court – Now What?
By David Kirby, Huffington Post
February 25, 2008
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-kirby/government-concedes-vacci_b_88323.html
After years of insisting there is no evidence to link vaccines with the onset of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the US government has quietly conceded a vaccine-autism case in the Court of Federal Claims.
The unprecedented concession was filed on November 9, and sealed to protect the plaintiff’s identify. It was obtained through individuals unrelated to the case.
The unprecedented concession was filed on November 9, and sealed to protect the plaintiff’s identify. It was obtained through individuals unrelated to the case.
The claim, one of 4,900 autism cases currently pending in Federal "Vaccine Court," was conceded by US Assistant Attorney General Peter Keisler and other Justice Department officials, on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services, the "defendant" in all Vaccine Court cases.
The child’s claim against the government — that mercury-containing vaccines were the cause of her autism — was supposed to be one of three "test cases" for the thimerosal-autism theory currently under consideration by a three-member panel of Special Masters, the presiding justices in Federal Claims Court.
Keisler wrote that medical personnel at the HHS Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation (DVIC) had reviewed the case and "concluded that compensation is appropriate."
The doctors conceded that the child was healthy and developing normally until her 18-month well-baby visit, when she received vaccinations against nine different diseases all at once (two contained thimerosal).
Days later, the girl began spiraling downward into a cascade of illnesses and setbacks that, within months, presented as symptoms of autism, including: No response to verbal direction; loss of language skills; no eye contact; loss of "relatedness;" insomnia; incessant screaming; arching; and "watching the florescent lights repeatedly during examination."
Seven months after vaccination, the patient was diagnosed by Dr. Andrew Zimmerman, a leading neurologist at the Kennedy Krieger Children’s Hospital Neurology Clinic, with "regressive encephalopathy (brain disease) with features consistent with autistic spectrum disorder, following normal development." The girl also met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) official criteria for autism.
In its written concession, the government said the child had a pre-existing mitochondrial disorder that was "aggravated" by her shots, and which ultimately resulted in an ASD diagnosis.
"The vaccinations received on July 19, 2000, significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder," the concession says, "which predisposed her to deficits in cellular energy metabolism, and manifested as a regressive encephalopathy with features of ASD."
This statement is good news for the girl and her family, who will now be compensated for the lifetime of care she will require. But its implications for the larger vaccine-autism debate, and for public health policy in general, are not as certain.
In fact, the government’s concession seems to raise more questions than it answers.
1) Is there a connection between vaccines, mitochondrial disorders and a diagnosis of autism, at least in some cases?
Mitochondria, you may recall from biology class, are the little powerhouses within cells that convert food into electrical energy, partly through a complex process called "oxidative phosphorylation." If this process is impaired, mitochondrial disorder will ensue.
The child in this case had several markers for Mt disease, which was confirmed by muscle biopsy. Mt disease is often marked by lethargy, poor muscle tone, poor food digestion and bowel problems, something found in many children diagnosed with autism.
But mitochondrial disorders are rare in the general population, affecting some 2-per-10,000 people (or just 0.2%). So with 4,900 cases filed in Vaccine Court, this case should be the one and only, extremely rare instance of Mt disease in all the autism proceedings.
But it is not.
Mitochondrial disorders are now thought to be the most common disease associated with ASD. Some journal articles and other analyses have estimated that 10% to 20% of all autism cases may involve mitochondrial disorders, which would make them one thousand times more common among people with ASD than the general population.
Another article, published in the Journal of Child Neurology and co-authored by Dr. Zimmerman, showed that 38% of Kennedy Krieger Institute autism patients studied had one marker for impaired oxidative phosphorylation, and 47% had a second marker.
The authors — who reported on a case-study of the same autism claim conceded in Vaccine Court — noted that "children who have (mitochondrial-related) dysfunctional cellular energy metabolism might be more prone to undergo autistic regression between 18 and 30 months of age if they also have infections or immunizations at the same time."
An interesting aspect of Mt disease in autism is that, with ASD, the mitochondrial disease seems to be milder than in "classic" cases of Mt disorder. In fact, classic Mt disease is almost always inherited, either passed down by the mother through mitochondrial DNA, or by both parents through nuclear DNA.
In autism-related Mt disease, however, the disorder is not typically found in other family members, and instead appears to be largely of the sporadic variety, which may now account for 75% of all mitochondrial disorders.
Meanwhile, an informal survey of seven families of children with cases currently pending in Vaccine Court revealed that all seven showed markers for mitochondrial dysfunction, dating back to their earliest medical tests. The facts in all seven claims mirror the case just conceded by the government: Normal development followed by vaccination, immediate illness, and rapid decline culminating in an autism diagnosis.
2) With 4,900 cases pending, and more coming, will the government concede those with underlying Mt disease — and if it not, will the Court award compensation?
The Court will soon begin processing the 4900 cases pending before it. What if 10% to 20% of them can demonstrate the same Mt disease and same set of facts as those in the conceded case? Would the government be obliged to concede 500, or even 1,000 cases? What impact would that have on public opinion? And is there enough money currently in the vaccine injury fund to cover so many settlements?
When asked for a comment last week about the court settlement, a spokesman for HHS furnished the following written statement:
"DVIC has reviewed the scientific information concerning the allegation that vaccines cause autism and has found no credible evidence to support the claim. Accordingly, in every case under the Vaccine Act, DVIC has maintained the position that vaccines do not cause autism, and has never concluded in any case that autism was caused by vaccination."
3) If the government is claiming that vaccines did not "cause" autism, but instead aggravated a condition to "manifest" as autism, isn’t that a very fine distinction?
For most affected families, such linguistic gymnastics is not so important. And even if a vaccine injury "manifested" as autism in only one case, isn’t that still a significant development worthy of informing the public?
On the other hand, perhaps what the government is claiming is that vaccination resulted in the symptoms of autism, but not in an actual, factually correct diagnosis of autism itself.
4) If the government is claiming that this child does NOT have autism, then how many other children might also have something else that merely "mimics" autism?
Is it possible that 10%-20% of the cases that we now label as "autism," are not autism at all, but rather some previously undefined "look-alike" syndrome that merely presents as "features" of autism?
This question gets to the heart of what autism actually is. The disorder is defined solely as a collection of features, nothing more. If you have the features (and the diagnosis), you have the disorder. The underlying biology is the great unknown.
But let’s say the government does determine that these kids don’t have actual "autism" (something I speculated on HuffPost a year ago). Then shouldn’t the Feds go back and test all people with ASD for impaired oxidative phosphorylation, perhaps reclassifying many of them?
If so, will we then see "autism" cases drop by tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people? Will there be a corresponding ascension of a newly described disorder, perhaps something like "Vaccine Aggravated Mitochondrial Disease with Features of ASD?"
And if this child was technically "misdiagnosed" with DSM-IV autism by Dr Zimmerman, how does he feel about HHS doctors issuing a second opinion re-diagnosis of his patient, whom they presumably had neither met nor examined? (Zimmerman declined an interview).
And along those lines, aren’t Bush administration officials somewhat wary of making long-distance, retroactive diagnoses from Washington, given that the Terry Schiavo incident has not yet faded from national memory?
5) Was this child’s Mt disease caused by a genetic mutation, as the government implies, and wouldn’t that have manifested as "ASD features" anyway?
In the concession, the government notes that the patient had a "single nucleotide change" in the mitochondrial DNA gene T2387C, implying that this was the underlying cause of her manifested "features" of autism.
While it’s true that some inherited forms of Mt disease can manifest as developmental delays, (and even ASD in the form of Rhett Syndrome) these forms are linked to identified genetic mutations, of which T2387C is not involved. In fact little, if anything, is known about the function of this particular gene.
What’s more, there is no evidence that this girl, prior to vaccination, suffered from any kind of "disorder" at all- genetic, mitochondrial or otherwise. Some forms of Mt disease are so mild that the person is unaware of being affected. This perfectly developing girl may have had Mt disorder at the time of vaccination, but nobody detected, or even suspected it.
And, there is no evidence to suggest that this girl would have regressed into symptoms consistent with a DSM-IV autism diagnosis without her vaccinations. If there was such evidence, then why on earth would these extremely well-funded government attorneys compensate this alleged injury in Vaccine Court? Why wouldn’t they move to dismiss, or at least fight the case at trial?
6) What are the implications for research?
The concession raises at least two critical research questions: What are the causes of Mt dysfunction; and how could vaccines aggravate that dysfunction to the point of "autistic features?"
While some Mt disorders are clearly inherited, the "sporadic" form is thought to account for 75% of all cases, according to the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation. So what causes sporadic Mt disease? "Medicines or other toxins," says the Cleveland Clinic, a leading authority on the subject.
Use of the AIDS drug AZT, for example, can cause Mt disorders by deleting large segments of mitochondrial DNA. If that is the case, might other exposures to drugs or toxins (i.e., thimerosal, mercury in fish, air pollution, pesticides, live viruses) also cause sporadic Mt disease in certain subsets of children, through similar genotoxic mechanisms?
Among the prime cellular targets of mercury are mitochondria, and thimerosal-induced cell death has been associated with the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane, according to the International Journal of Molecular Medicine among several others.
(Coincidently, the first case of Mt disease was diagnosed in 1959, just 15 years after the first autism case was named, and two decades after thimerosal’s introduction as a vaccine preservative.)
Regardless of its cause, shouldn’t HHS sponsor research into Mt disease and the biological mechanisms by which vaccines could aggravate the disorder? We still do not know what it was, exactly, about this girl’s vaccines that aggravated her condition. Was it the thimerosal? The three live viruses? The two attenuated viruses? Other ingredients like aluminum? A combination of the above?
And of course, if vaccine injuries can aggravate Mt disease to the point of manifesting as autism features, then what other underlying disorders or conditions (genetic, autoimmune, allergic, etc.) might also be aggravated to the same extent?
7) What are the implications for medicine and public health?
Should the government develop and approve new treatments for "aggravated mitochondrial disease with ASD features?" Interestingly, many of the treatments currently deployed in Mt disease (i.e., coenzyme Q10, vitamin B-12, lipoic acid, biotin, dietary changes, etc.) are part of the alternative treatment regimen that many parents use on their children with ASD.
And, if a significant minority of autism cases can be linked to Mt disease and vaccines, shouldn’t these products one day carry an FDA Black Box warning label, and shouldn’t children with Mt disorders be exempt from mandatory immunization?
It’s too early to tell. But this concession could conceivably make it more difficult for some officials to continue insisting there is "absolutely no link" between vaccines and autism.
It also puts the Federal Government’s Vaccine Court defense strategy somewhat into jeopardy. DOJ lawyers and witnesses have argued that autism is genetic, with no evidence to support an environmental component. And, they insist, it’s simply impossible to construct a chain of events linking immunizations to the disorder.
Government officials may need to rethink their legal strategy, as well as their public relations campaigns, given their own slightly contradictory concession in this case.
9) What is the bottom line here?
The public, (including world leaders) will demand to know what is going on inside the US Federal health establishment. Yes, as of now, n=1, a solitary vaccine-autism concession. But what if n=10% or 20%? Who will pay to clean up that mess?
The significance of this concession will unfortunately be fought over in the usual, vitriolic way — and I fully expect to be slammed for even raising these questions. Despite that, the language of this concession cannot be changed, or swept away.
Its key words are "aggravated" and "manifested." Without the aggravation of the vaccines, it is uncertain that the manifestation would have occurred at all.
When a kid with peanut allergy eats a peanut and dies, we don’t say "his underlying metabolic condition was significantly aggravated to the extent of manifesting as an anaphylactic shock with features of death."
No, we say the peanut killed the poor boy. Remove the peanut from the equation, and he would still be with us today.
Many people look forward to hearing more from HHS officials about why they are settling this claim. But whatever their explanation, they cannot change the fundamental facts of this extraordinary case:
The United State government is compensating at least one child for vaccine injuries that resulted in a diagnosis of autism.
And that is big news, no matter how you want to say it.

The concern is with Thermosal, Ask your Dr to see the insert that came with the vaccine so you know what is in it. There are still traces since they remove it after the vaccine is made. If you are worried, you can split up your vaccines. I get more worried about having them exposed to so many vaccines all at once for them to fight off.

Well, technically you do not have to get any. My children are vaccine free and quite healthy.
Best thing to do is research each vaccination and disease and decide for yourself what you wish to do for your family.

"What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Childhood Vaccinations" by Stephanie Cave
are good places to start.
Good luck.

Get your child vaccinated. Don’t believe the conspiracy theorists (the one posting the rant above). It’s based on bad science. The diseases you are vaccinating against are MUCH more dangerous for your child than any risk from vaccines.
First, they don’t use thimerisol (mercury) in vaccines anymore. Second, study after study has shown NO link between vaccines and autism.
Vaccinate your kids!

Yes, there are some vaccines that contain a great amount of Mercury. I personally chose not to give my son the full amount of the vaccine; I talked to his pediatrician about it before I signed the consent because I had watched a report on a Spanish channel about how it does affect the children. Yet our government has not done anything about this. I don’t recall the name though. I chose to give it to him in two sessions. The vaccines at 6-14 months are the " Polio, DPT, HIV and Hep.B. The Hep.B is two sessions and HIV and HepB are given to those who are in day cares or go to school. I really don’t remember witch one it was that I gave him in two sections because of the Autism. I think it was polio. ???? My son’s Doctor said that it contained Mercury in the past years, But they have not found it in the newer vaccines. But I think that’s Bull.
You know, he is your son you make this choices for him. It is up to you when you should want to vaccinate him but you do at some point. It would be unhealthy if you didn’t. Talk to his Pediatrician about what he will be getting and what it prevents and what it courses; this way you feel better of why you should or shouldn’t
Vaccinate him.
I’ll try to get back to you on witch one it was that I gave him in two sessions besides the Hepatitis B.

I think you should educate yourself if you are worried. Take the time to read the anti- vaccine sites on the internet, and the pro-vaccine sites. Look at the product inserts, and make the choice that is best for your family. This is the product insert for MMR http://www.fda.gov/cber/label/mmriiLB.pdf. In this product insert it says the people with certain conditions should not be vaccinated. If your child has any of the conditions listed you should exercise caution <http://www.fda.gov/cber/label/mmriiLB.pdf> on March 11, 2008. Be careful to read it all the way through, and contact Merck if you want the actual insert.
The CDC of course as always contradicts itself by stating that MMR still contains thimerosal . In this page the CDC says Thimorosal is not used <http://www.cdc.gov/od/science/iso/concerns/thimerosal.htm> on March 11, 2008, and in this page it says it is used
<http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/vac-admin/downloads/contraindications_guide.pdf>
, and of course as far as recency goes they say they are updating this all the time if you read the bottom.
If a child accidentally was exposed to mercury there would be a huge concern, but we inject our kids every day,and never think twice. We are just taught not to question our doctors, and always to accept the social norm. Vaccines may work, but at what cost? Even though they work most of the time sometimes they do not, and its important to be aware that no vaccine can guarantee immunity (so even if you decide to vaccinate it is important to be aware of all of the diseases anyway).
It is also important to realize that even though vaccine reactions are supposedly minute they still do happen, and that is whyy VAERS exist today. Some children are permanently damaged from vaccines. If you do vaccinate, and your child has a reaction make sure your doctor reports it.
No matter what side you are on in the end on this issue it is important that you take the time to read, and to learn more about the risk vs. the benefits. Anything that you learn to help you make a wise choice is worth all of the reading, and the research.
Nobody can tell you how your child will react because of a vaccine. Just because their children are fine does not mean yours will be, and visa versa. There is always a potential for harm, or benefit.
I’m tired so I really need to stop typing now, but i’m linking you to some places that you can read on that I did not list above. Good luck coming to your own conclusion! Also there are plenty of more mainstream vaccine articles on line if you want support for vaccinating. Just google it, and you’ll have instant gratification.
ETA: I just realized magically one of my links is no longer working so I am linking you here for additives, http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf
,but for product information you need to ask your doctor for the insert of get the manufacturer’s name & number before your doctor gives a vax, and then contact them.

I don’t buy into that it’s work the reaction statement at all, because to that one child who is injured for life it is not worth the reaction.

The likelihood of vaccine-related adverse events is not as terrible as the complications associated with some of the diseases that they prevent. Also, the association between MMR and autism has been shown to be false. The ingredient in question, thimerosal, was eliminated from the vaccine years ago, yet the rate of autism is increasing in kids who never even received it. A lot of the increase in autism is related to changes in the diagnostic criteria and more kids who would previously have been labeled as mentally retarded now labeled as autism. You can read about adverse events associated with specific vaccines on the CDC’s web site. BTW, it’s the 2, 4, and 6 month visits that are especially heavy on vaccines. A lot of immunization schedules don’t even include any at the 9-month visit.

You should be worried-vaccines cause autism.
If you spend 8 hours studying at these sites you will likely know more about vaccines and the true risks associated with them than your doctor does. I advise you to take the time and educate yourself. If your doctor doesn’t take your concerns seriously and follow your requests-GET A NEW DOCTOR!.
Your child is approx 800 times more likely to develop autism than be seriously injured or die from the measles if you average the past 18 years in the USA.-your doctor won’t know that either. You also have to consider other vaccines injuries as well. http://www.whale.to/v/measles_deaths.html
