According to CNN, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, a British physician, has been accused of an “elaborate fraud” linking child vaccines and autism. A report published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) states that Dr. Wakefield misrepresented or even altered the 12 medical histories of the patients included in his 1998 study. Dr. Wakefield said his work was “grossly distorted,” though it appears he may have distorted the data.
But here’s what I think: Just because a study was tainted doesn't mean vaccines are NOT to blame for autism. All those parents can’t be wrong and autism rates are growing at an alarming rate. Parents seem to think there is a strong correlation between autism and vaccines. Just because something can’t be proved, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist; I’ll give God for an example here.
I recently found I had MSG (monosodium glutamate) poisoning. (Yes poisoning, not an allergy, because man-made MSG is a toxin.) Suffering the negative consequences for days after consuming a reasonable amount (as in one Chinese restaurant meal), I’ve done a bit of research on MSG. I found it is in almost everything we purchase in the grocery store. Something to ponder that might be scarier - I found it has been used in vaccines: http://www.truthinlabeling.org/Vaccines.html Babies, as we all know, can't detoxify like an addult. If I had a young child, I would have a hard time leaving him/her with a doctor and a vaccine-laden needle in the same room with my child.
