This hippie arm chair health expert has been scooped. Thank goodness. I mean...when you have not one but two blogposts on a subject in 'saved drafts'...well, that's pathetic.So here* on Dr. Mercola's website you can read an e-article by Dr. Russell Blaylock on the dangers of excessive vaccinations, with an important response from Dr. M following it. Vaccines have (thankfully) been in the news lately, with the awarding of damages to a family whose daughter became autistic after her 18-month-old set of shots. Myriads of parents have been insisting that their son or daughter was a perfectly normal (or above normal) child until that point. The reply: Oh, but autism generally shows up at that age. Yeah. That's the point, they would say. And - 'convulsions' following the administration of multiple-innoculants cocktails really aren't damaging to the child. As if...
While acknowledging that vaccinations have historically done great good, in truly human fashion we have gone overboard with them and done wrong. Let's face up to it**.
Dr. Mercola is a naturopathic doctor and he can be over-the-top. I generally appreciate that in him! When he offered to pay a 'reward' of over $20K to any adult who would drink a cocktail of vaccinations on The Schedule for children from birth and up - adjusted for weight, of course...well, I know people might think that's just being sassy. But...why has no one taken him up on it?
I might just add that when this Boomer was born, the number of vaccinations was far less than even the 1976 number.
*It could just be my computer...or it could be that Dr. M's site is getting slammed with so many hits that it's now taking a long time to load. Or...maybe he will insist you join his email list. I may need to post the articles on my next blog entry. Let me know...
**But it's likely the threat of law suits and huge amounts of $$ being awarded that keeps the establishment averring their safety.
