Yet again, Jenny McCarthy does a great job speaking about vaccines and treating Autism.

Why I Started This Blog
It is my strong belief that we, as parents, must take great care with the decisions we make on behalf of our children. It is our responsibility to make educated decisions rather than allowing the medical community and the state to mandate these decisions on us.
I think the philosophy of owning the responsibility of proactively making educated decisions on our children’s behalf and giving "informed consent" for their medical treatment applies both when deciding;
1. which vaccines, if any, you will allow your children to receive.
If Joe & I "choose" to allow our children to receive any vaccine, in the future, we will understand exactly what the disease risk is (or is not), what the likelihood is that it will provide full immunity, what the disease risks are if the vaccine does not provide immunity or if it "wears off" in the future and what are the potential injuries that our child could suffer from the vaccine. Autism concerns aside, the pharmaceutical insert inside every vaccine package will explain what the known risks are, as well as the injury table http://vaers.hhs.gov/pdf/ReportableEventsTable.pdf provided by the governments Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. This "system" exists because the government knows that some people do suffer injury from vaccination and this table provides a list of known reportable injuries. Injuries must be reported for the injured person to qualify for compensation resulting from the injury.
2. what treatments you should consider if you have a child who is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, AD(H)D, Allergies or Asthma. Clinical experience and scientific research are showing children with any of the above have similar root cause, medical etiology. Medical treatment is available and recovery is possible.
It is our responsibility to advocate for our children and make informed decisions on their behalf rather than blindly turn them over to a doctor or the government and hope for the best.
Joe and I have learned this lesson the hard way and have watched other parents in our close inner circle learn the same at our children’s expense. Joe strongly encouraged me to start this blog and has cheered me on as it has slowly developed. It is our goal to share information that we wish we had before our first child was born.

CDC Rally Regarding Vaccine Safety
Update: This rally has been relocated to Washington D.C. due to permit issues
Please see the following link announcing a rally scheduled for June in front of the CDC regarding concerns over vaccine safety. This rally is sponsored by Talk About Curing Autism and Jenny McCarthy. I'll be there!
Also, please pass this along to any one you know is concerned about the safety of childhood vaccinations.

My Letter to the President, My Congressman & Senators
This letter was sent in response to the Autism Communities grassroots campaign calling for the resignation of the CDC Director, Julie Gerberding. For more information Google "Julie Gerberding, resignation"

During Ms. Gerberdings six year tenure very little has been in done in terms of taking seriously the insistence of so many parents that their children regressed into autism immediately after receiving vaccinations. The CDC and others are trying to claim that Hannah’s case is unique. It is not. Up to 30% of autistic children have mitochondrial disorders and the story of how and when she regressed is extremely common among the parents of autistic children. By the way, news is breaking today that the court has actually conceded a number of similar cases prior to the Polling case.
It has always puzzled me why our own pediatrician and the media “experts” always reference the Denmark study as our steadfast evidence that thimerosal (mercury preservative) does not cause autism. Why do we in the U.S. need to refer to a study done in Denmark as our definitive proof. This study is riddled with questions regarding the appropriateness of comparing it to the U.S. population. And the mere fact that we have to look to Denmark for the best study is evidence of Ms. Gerberdings negligence in taking this issue seriously.
Oh yes, I certainly don’t want to forget the CDC’s Verstraten study on the effect of Thimerosal in vaccines. That one is steeped in controversy and ethical charges for manipulation of the data and conflict of interest. Yet it’s just about as good as we’ve got in this country. Pathetic.
One more point on vaccine research. Where’s the study that says 32 cumulative vaccines by the age of two is safe? Oh, that’s right no study exists. How can Ms. Gerberding stand before the American people and tell us to trust them on vaccine safety when there has been no study conducted to determine whether or not this sheer number of vaccines might have a negative immune or neurological effect. This number of vaccines alone might overwhelm the immune system not the mention the negative impact that aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, etc. may have on the brain and body.
While autism diagnosis has jumped to one every 20 minutes, Ms. Gerberding has spent the last six years on the defensive regarding the role vaccines may play while little to nothing has been done to prove or disprove the role of vaccination in this epidemic.
It’s high time that the powers that be start listening to parents who have watched their healthy children slip away. Thousands of parents reporting the same observation of vaccination then decline need to be taken seriously and Ms. Gerberding has simply thumbed her nose at us all and for this she needs to go before she further erodes general confidence in the CDC.
Respectfully,

Dear Mr. President,
I am respectfully writing this morning to call for the resignation of Julie Gerberding, Director of the CDC in light of her very defensive and defiant comments resulting from the government ruling that vaccines played a role in the development of Hannah Polling’s Autism.
During Ms. Gerberdings six year tenure very little has been in done in terms of taking seriously the insistence of so many parents that their children regressed into autism immediately after receiving vaccinations. The CDC and others are trying to claim that Hannah’s case is unique. It is not.
