"A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C.

* ►March 9, 2010 - Local Vaccine Lawsuit Goes To Supreme Court (includes video) - KDKA.com - "A Mount Lebanon couple has been fighting for nearly two decades to get justice for their daughter. They say Hannah Bruesewitz was permanently disabled after being vaccinated as a baby." * ►March 9, 2010 - Rapid Responses to: Why did the Lancet take so long? Brian Deer's viewing of medical files. - F. Edward YAZBAK, Pediatrician - journal article (BMJ) - "It almost seems that Mr. Deer is less upset about what I wrote than about the fact that some web site somewhere had picked it up. I certainly have no idea where my remarks were circulated and by whom and I have no control of that. In any case: If anyone else misunderstood my statement (s), I sincerely apologize for the confusion. No deceit was ever intended! I must say that I am troubled that Mr. Deer was able to obtain the names and family backgrounds of the 12 original study patients. I am also surprised that he finds it fair to censor my defense of Dr. Wakefield after he subjected him to public flagellation for so long. Maybe it is time for Mr. Deer to take a deep breath and relax." * ►March 8, 2010 - Vaccinations (& my walk into dangerous blogging) - Singing in the Rain Blog - "He tells me her spinal fluid was awfully cloudy and that he highly suspects she has spinal meningitis. WHAT??? How is that even possible? She was JUST vaccinated for it on Friday morning..... ... And for 16 days... we sat there - and NOBODY... not one single doctor or nurse would tell me how she got meningitis when she had JUST gotten the PREVNAR shot." * ►March 2010 - Mandatory Vaccination (free pdf download) - journal article (American Journal of Nursing) - "Even vaccines that have been proven to be effective can have frightening adverse effects. Mandating that everyone receive one doesn’t take into account an individual’s needs. My daughter experienced status epilepticus for more than three hours after receiving the combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)vaccine. Will I subject her to an MMR booster? Absolutely not. I’ll have titers drawn to check her immunity, and I won’t simply accept a medication because someone who isn’t my doctor (or my daughter’s) says it’s a good idea." |
