"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.

- The
Autism-Vaccine Controversy Continues - Age of Autism -
"There is no doubt that vaccines do injure some babies. Encephalitis
(inflammation of the brain) is a known effect of some vaccines for some
children (even listed on some of the vaccine labels, and in the
government's list of accepted adverse reactions HERE). Studies have found inflammation in
the brains of people with autism (HERE).
But the vaccine court routinely turns down cases where autism is
alleged to be caused by vaccines."
* ►March 17, 2010 - No More Fear by Dawn Richardson - PROVE via VaccineInfo.net - "Those trying to discredit parents who have legitimate vaccine safety concerns mischaracterize parents as “being afraid” of vaccines. They use the term "fear" to try and mislead the public into thinking that these parental concerns are somehow irrational, trivial, or not based on credible information." * ►March 17, 2010
- Are
we liable if we can't give a vaccine to a child whose parent can't
physically restrain that child? - Nurse.com - "A consent form
developed and used by staff that is clear and inclusive of what is
needed for the immunization to take place is a good tool that can be
used by all staff to ensure compliance with the legal requirements of
informed consent by the parent or other legally authorized consent
giver and to avoid battery allegations. Sharing your concerns with the
clinic CNO, medical director and risk manager would be a start in
helping staff feel more comfortable with their role in the
administration of immunizations."
