Vaccine triggers autism. Time for the truth.
http://www.pharmalot.com/2008/03/dad...-anti-vaccine/
Dad In Autism Case: 'I'm Not Anti-Vaccine' March 7th, 2008 11:36 am By Ed Silverman Jon Poling, a Georgia neurologist, isn't surprised the federal government awarded his family compensation from a vaccine injury fund because his daughter Hannah, now 9, developed autism-like symptoms after her childhood vaccinations. That's because he knew the case was a good one. But while the experience may cause most parents to reject childhood vaccines, Poling still supports their use. "I don't think the case should scare people," Poling, 37, tells WebMD. Although the case has rekindled the debate over vaccines and autism, the federal government hasn't stated that childhood vaccines cause autism. Instead, federal officials conclude the vaccines, which were given his daughter in 2000, aggravated a pre-existing condition that then manifested as autism-like symptoms. ....... But "I want to make it clear I am not anti-vaccine," he says. "Vaccines are one of the most important, if not the most important advance, in medicine in at least the past 100 years. But I don't think that vaccines should enjoy a sacred cow status, where if you attack them you are out of mainline medicine. Every treatment has a risk and a benefit. To say there are no risks to any treatment is not true. Sometimes people are injured by a vaccine, but they are safe for the majority of people. I could say that with a clean conscience. But I couldn't say that vaccines are absolutely safe, that they are not linked to brain injury and they are not linked to autism." Poling, nonetheless, is hopeful the decision will trigger government action. "I hope it will force government agencies to look further into what susceptibility factors are out there for children to develop brain injury after vaccination, to look into the susceptibility factors of people at risk."....." Stay tuned for the commercial part of this thread Thanks Vince |
