SafeMinds Group Bash's PrimeTime Live For Last Night's Autism Story
This group "Safe Minds" put out a press release today bashing the
PrimeTime Live news report on ABC last night on Autism. The headline is: "ABC's Primetime Live Report on Autism: Yellow Journalism At It's Worst" They are claiming that they misled the public about the dangers of a vaccine for children: "Their mistake has the effect of misleading countless audience members on the very real threat that Thimerosal-containing vaccines pose to their children." Check out the story by clicking he http://education.arrivenet.com/article.php?aid=296735 I've wondered about all the vaccines they are giving to kids today. It's like the drug companies have moved from pushing pills to the elderly to vacinating our kids for everything. Of course, there is also something to be said about preventing serious disease also. What are your thoughts on the issue? Read the article for yourself and see if they are on a tangent or right on the money. |

See: http://abcnews.go.com/Sections/Primetime/ This is a superb article and gives some insight into what parents of special children have to go through. Three autistic kids in one family is certainly a heavy load, anbd this family is to be admired for their herculean efforts. My hearty congrats to ABC for showing this, and to the family.

The only thing that I take issue with what you said is my comment about the number or prescriptions that are taken by the elderly and how many of them may be inappropriate and benefiting nobody other than the drug companies. Your response was that what I posted was "utter bull****". You might want to read the posts below before you jump to those kind of conclusions, unless all of these organizations, like JAMA and medical professionals are also off their rocker too in your opinion... http://www.globalaging.org/health/world/finelder.htm http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releas...-sei020504.php http://health.arrivenet.com/article.php?id=282233 http://www.geriatrictimes.com/g010301a.html "Despite their accounting for only 14% of the population, the elderly receive more than one-third of all prescribed medications (Shelton et al., 2000)." Wehll, duh...many diseases are those which only show up when a person is older.... Other than this, and "stop wondering and start learning" I appreciated your response. I think I've now given some pretty solid information to support my "utter bull****" opinion. Thanks again. The utter bull**** was your specious analogy between vaccination and the use of meds in the elderly, not what you incorrectly inferred. |
