All of this hullabaloo over measles vaccinations, if you believe that it works, get the shots for your kids. If it works as claimed, another kid not getting the shots comes down with the measles they cannot give it to your kids. Either the vaccines work or they do not. Yet you hear arguments like this, “Some people are just incredibly selfish” by skipping shots, said Dr. James Cherry, a pediatric disease expert at the University of California, Los Angeles. If the shots work what is the danger to those who have gotten the shots?
You also hear this a lot, “Others have delayed getting their children vaccinated because they still believe now-discredited research linking the measles vaccine to autism.”
After reviewing some of the CDC data received by Dr. Thompson, as well as data records acquired through freedom of information submissions, Prof. Hooker discovered that the CDC has known since 2001 that children exposed to thimerosal in utero were 800 percent more likely to regress into autism. This data was intentionally excluded from the CDC paper published in the journal Pediatrics in an effort to disprove a thimerosal-autism association. During the radio broadcast, Prof. Hooker unearthed evidence that the CDC has known for a decade that children receiving the MMR vaccines on schedule were nearly 300 percent more likely to regress into autism compared to children whose parents decided to withhold the vaccine until after the child was older.

California-Oregon Unvaccinated Children Survey Links Vaccines & AutismFrom Generation RescueNovember 3, 2007In 1983, the Centers for Disease Control recommended a total of 10 vaccines for our children. In 2007, the CDC recommends 36, an increase of 260%. Yet, no studies have ever been done to compare neurological disorder (“ND”) rates of unvaccinated children to vaccinated children. We commissioned a national market research firm to survey more than 13,000 children in California and Oregon. Read the results here.Cal-Oregon Unvaccinated Survey“We surveyed over 9,000 boys in California and Oregon and found that vaccinated boys had a 155% greater chance of having a neurological disorder like ADHD or autism than unvaccinated boys.” -Generation Rescue, June 26, 2007MethodologyGeneration Rescue commissioned an independent opinion research firm,SurveyUSA of Verona NJ(http://www.surveyusa.com/), to conduct a telephone survey in nine counties in California and Oregon. Counties were selected by Generation Rescue.Interviews were successfully completed in11,817 households with one or more children age 4 to 17. From those 11,817 households, data on 17,674 children was gathered. Of the 17,674 children inventoried, 991 were described as being completely unvaccinated. For each unvaccinated child, a health battery was administered.
Generation Rescue chose to use telephone interviews with parents to gather data on children, so as to closely mirror the methodology the CDC uses to establish national prevalence for NDs such as ADHD and autism through their national phone survey of parent responses(http://www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/transcripts/ASDMMWRfactSheet.pdf). Generation Rescue chose to focus on children ages 4-17 to match the age range used by CDC. Are parent responses a reliable indicator of a child’s diagnostic status?
According to Dr. Laura Schieve, co-author of the CDC’s national phone survey study, in discussing the CDC’s two phone surveys on autism prevalence, “the consistency of prevalence estimates across the two surveys supports high reliability or reproducibility of parental report of autism and reliability is one important component of validity.”
SurveyUSA is a well-known national opinion research firm with unique expertise in canvassing local communities. SurveyUSA has no vested interest in any outcome this or any survey might produce. You can see acopy of the questionnaire used in the survey here(http://www.generationrescue.org/pdf/questions.pdf). The data the survey intended to capture included:
To debunk that a promoters of MMR vaccinations on CNN pointed to a chart that showed the rate of autism increasing as the vaccination dose was decreasing , thus discrediting the idea MMR’s were responsible. Well something is sure responsible:
Autism rates climbed nearly 30% between 2008 and 2010 and have more than doubled since the turn of the century, according to a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The condition is now believed to affect one of every 68 8-year-olds – up from one in 88 just two years earlier.That means virtually every grade in every elementary school has at least one child with autism – a seemingly astonishing rise for a condition that was nearly unheard of a generation ago.

And in the four years since then:
Autism rates in 2014 are now roughly 30 percent higher than they were just two years ago, according to new data released by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
One in 68 children have now been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), up from the one-in-88 children statistic from a 2012 CDC report. The risk varies greatly by state, too. In Alabama, 1 in 175 children are diagnosed with ASD. In New Jersey, that number is 1 in 45 kids. Source:
And there are other reasons than autism for parents to be concerned about vaccinating their kids:
A study from the 1990s has come to light, proving that compared to unvaccinated children, vaccinated children were more likely to suffer from asthma, eczema, ear infections, hyperactivity and many other chronic conditions. Furthermore, the study identified that there was a ten-fold increase in the incidence of tonsillitis in the children who were vaccinated, and a total lack tonsillectomy operations among the children who were unvaccinated.In 1992, the Immunization Awareness Society (IAS) conducted a survey to examine the health of New Zealand’s children. Unsurprisingly, the results of their study indicated that unvaccinated children were far healthier than vaccinated children.
Questionnaires were given out to IAS members, their friends and their associates asking various health questions. A total of 245 families returned their questionnaires, giving the researchers a total of 495 children surveyed. Of these children, 226 were vaccinated and 269 were unvaccinated.
And this from Germany in 2011:
A German study released in September 2011 of about 8000 UNVACCINATED children, newborn to 19 years, show vaccinated children have at least 2 to 5 times more diseases and disorders than unvaccinated children.The data was collected from parents with vaccine-free children via an internet questionnaire by vaccineinjury.info and Andreas Bachmair, a German classical homeopathic practitioner. The independent study is self-funded and is not sponsored by a large “credible” non-profit or government health organization with political and financial conflicts of interest; hence Bachmair relies on Google ads and donations for revenue. Each one of the 8000 cases are actual cases with medical documentation. Three other studies had similar results according to Bachmair and are reported below.
No study of health outcomes of vaccinated people versus unvaccinated has ever been conducted in the U.S. by CDC or any other agency in the 50 years or more of an accelerating schedule of vaccinations (now over 50 doses of 14 vaccines given before kindergarten, 26 doses in the first year). Most data collected by CDC is contained in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database. The VAERS is generally thought to contain only 3 to 5 percent of reportable incidents. This is simply because only some immediate reactions are reported by doctors; but many are not admitted to be reactions to the vaccine. Most importantly, the VAERS numbers are only immediate reactions, which I would place with a few hours to a few weeks. Long-term vaccine-induced diseases and disorders are not recognized by parents or doctors when these conditions develop perhaps a few months to five years or more and would never be realized to come from multiple vaccinations. In other words, many children and adults have diseases and disorders that are vaccine induced and they never suspect they are from the vaccines, as this study indicates.
The comparisons of the health of vaccine-free children with the health statistics of the general population are the same as comparing unvaccinated with vaccinated. This is simply because the general population of U.S. children are nearly 100 percent vaccinated. Source:
One last study from Oregon:
Interviews were successfully completed in 11,817 households with one or more children age 4 to 17. From those 11,817 households, data on 17,674 children was gathered. Of the 17,674 children inventoried, 991 were described as being completely unvaccinated. For each unvaccinated child, a health battery was administered.
Results:
All vaccinated boys, compared to unvaccinated boys:– Vaccinated boys were 155% more likely to have a neurological disorder (RR 2.55)– Vaccinated boys were 224% more likely to have ADHD (RR 3.24)– Vaccinated boys were 61% more likely to have autism (RR 1.61) Older vaccinated boys, ages 11-17 (about half the boys surveyed), compared to older unvaccinated boys:– Vaccinated boys were 158% more likely to have a neurological disorder (RR 2.58)– Vaccinated boys were 317% more likely to have ADHD (RR 4.17)– Vaccinated boys were 112% more likely to have autism (RR 2.12)(Note: older children may be a more reliable indicator because many children are not diagnosed until they are 6-8 years old, and we captured data beginning at age 4.) All vaccinated boys, removing one county with unusual results (Multnomah, OR), compared to unvaccinated boys:– Vaccinated boys were 185% more likely to have a neurological disorder (RR 2.85)– Vaccinated boys were 279% more likely to have ADHD (RR 3.79)– Vaccinated boys were 146% more likely to have autism (RR 2.46)All vaccinated boys and girls, compared to unvaccinated boys and girls: – Vaccinated boys and girls were 120% more likely to have asthma (RR 2.20) – No correlation established for juvenile diabetesAll vaccinated girls, compared to unvaccinated girls:– No meaningful differences in prevalence were noted for NDs (which may be due to the smaller sample size of the study because girls represent about 20% of cases.)
This is beside the point that Most Children Who Catch Measles Were Already Vaccinated:
Medical authorities eager to vaccinate maintain it takes a population vaccination rate of 90% to ensure an “immunized” disease will not break out within that community. This high percentage was contrived as necessary for “herd immunity,” which would prevent any outbreak from occurring.That has been proven false. Basic logic begs the question: Why do so many have to be vaccinated if those who are vaccinated are immune? Could it be that the vaccinated are not really immune. One thing is for certain, vaccinating 90% of all populations creates more revenue.
If the herd is immune what difference does it make if an infected outsider comes in? Speaking of outsiders, I’d lay odds that the first case in this outbreak came from south of the border.
My conclusions:
Those people who distrust the government’s push to have them vaccinated their kids have just cause.
