Protect the Herd at the Expense of the Few

Can vaccines cause autism? Just raising this question causes a firestorm among health professionals who are totally invested in the vaccination system. It’s a system that’s designed to protect the “herd” at the expense of a few. There’s a fund to compensate the few (while vaccine manufacturers are immune from lawsuit). It’s all for the greater good, supposedly. But it creates plenty of profits for pharmaceutical companies, who have no incentive to carefully examine what might really be going on.Dr. Andrew Wakefield is a British physician who led some research published in 1998 that suggested a connection between the MMR shot and the chronic inflammation gut disease found in some autistic children. Even very recently, Big Pharma and the media have been stomping all over Dr. Wakefield for even suggesting this, pointing out that vaccination rates have gone down and measles is coming back in certain areas, and getting his colleagues in the study to recant. Possibly you saw the headlines recently.
Someone replicated Dr. Wakefield’s study in 2001. Now someone else has done it too, in a study that is still under way. A team from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina have found measles virus in the gut of 70 of 82 children tested so far. The team is examining 275 children with regressive autism and bowel disease. The measles virus in the gut is the type that comes from vaccination, not from having measles.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't that study (the original one) been proven wrong? There have been numerous attempts to replicate it and nobody's really been able to. Dr. Wakefield apparently handpicked children who already showed signs of autism and gastrointestinal problems, and then made it look like the symptoms only appeared AFTER the vaccine.
Of course, you can't believe everything you read. So. I definitely could be wrong.
EDIT: hmm. If they really replicated it. I dunno. Article I read a couple of months ago said out of around 21 studies, none got the same results as Wakefield.

So called "herd immunity" from vaccines is a complete myth as we have had documented outbreaks of measles mumps etc when there has been over a 95% plus take up and with any live viral vaccine can cause the disease through horizontal transmission of the virus. Infact you should keep children who can not be vaccinated die to medical reasons away from those who have recived the MMR vaccine for at least a 3 weeks as they pass the live viruses on from the vaccine due to viral shedding.
Vaccine failure laways plays a big part, in the UK during a mumps outbreak over 92% had been fully vaccinated proving primary and secondry vaccine failutre.
Scarlet fever also blows the myth of vaccine induced herd immunity as this childhood disease went with no vaccination at all.
Herd immunity only exists for naturally caught diseases not vaccines as there would be no need for boosters with lifelong natural immunity.
Sorry to rain on your pseudo science parade with real factual science but there you go.
@Andy - You can't preach to those who believe in mythology. Not in any sphere.
I need to say your site is really helpful I also love the theme, its amazing!
