" because of a "debunked doctor". Since this friend doesn't have Facebook and co
uldn't possibly know my thoughts on the topic as I've never discussed it with hi
m, I can only assume he heard this from his parents.
So for those concerned about my sanity but haven't asked here's a little informa
tion ;)
I had to google both Jenny McCarthy and Andrew Wakefield WELL after we decided t
o stop vaccinating our children. Why? Because I had no idea who they were. I did
n't hear about vaccine risks from them, I had to research the information MY DOC
TOR DIDN'T KNOW after MY CHILDREN were injured.
Our research revolved around the manufacturers inserts: http://www.immunize.org/

I pretty much ignored Andrew Wakefield from then on. I didn't need to utilize hi
s paper, I had all the data I needed so why even try to discuss something people
have so much trouble being rational about? Just show them all the other informa
tion and skip the drama.
Until Vaxxed came out.
Vaxxed tells the story of Dr. William Thompson, a head researcher STILL employed
at the CDC who has come forward admitting they manipulated and destroyed data o
n the landmark MMR study.
This was HUGE news 2 years ago to those who paid attention. Unfortunately pharma
funded news stations played possum so no one else knew. THIS movie was such a b
ig deal I helped host it here. I help people rent it, buy it and discuss it. I g
o to the capitol to talk to legislators about it. If I'm going to do all that I
needed to finally settle the issue of what DID actually happen with Dr. Wakefiel
d since he was invited to help produce the film. This fraudulent study by the CD
C was in fact done to rebut HIS case study that turned the medical world upside
down. It was rather poetic that when the CDC was caught with it's pants down he
was there to... um... watch and record it ;)
So. What did I learn?
That the case study was fascinating.... but concluded rather anticlimactic:
"We did not prove an association between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and
the syndrome described." http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0
140-6736(97)11096-0/fulltext
Wait....what? I thought Wakefield said the MMR caused autism? Nope. The paper di
d no such thing.
"AJ Wakefield, SH Murch, A Anthony, J Linnell, DM Casson, M Malik, M Berelowitz,
AP Dhillon, MA Thomson, P Harvey, A Valentine, SE Davies, JA Walker-Smith"
Who's that? Oh just the 13 doctors who wrote the paper together. I thought it wa
s all Wakefield's fault? Hmmm. 13 doctors who were the heads of their fields all
collaborated and no one hears about them. Interesting. That has scapegoat writt
en all over it.
Retracted in 2010- Which was 12 years after it was published.
Only 2 doctors lost their licenses: Wakefield & Walker-Smith. Walker-Smith's leg
al representation was paid for by his medical malpractice insurance and he won h
is license back:

udy-exonerated-on-all-charges-of-professional-misconduct
Wakefield's insurance would not cover his representation and as he had lost his
job and license and was now a medical pariah....was not in a position to fight f
or his as well.
Here's the story straight from the horses mouth so to speak: http://vaxxedthemov

I just love Del Bigtree's style though in this informative interview on his look
into Wakefield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxQxkXevkQ&feature=youtu.be

Hannah Poling's case compensated for vaccine induced autism is perhaps the most
famous:

Last but not least, it's about WAY more than just the MMR. There are hundreds of
other papers that show a relationship between vaccine ingredients and autism sy
mptoms. Try reading up on a few of them here if you like: https://www.scribd.com

While our decision to stop vaccinating had nothing to do with Wakefield, we now
can say with confidence we are on the same team. We can now say THANK YOU to him
from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for doing the right thing in the face
of intimidation and slander and never backing down in defense of our children. T
hank you Polly Tommey, Jonathan Tommey, Bella Tommey, Del Bigtree, Sheila Lewis
Ealey , Joshua Coleman, Patrick Layton and anyone one else I may have missed.
So if you hear me talk about these people? It's not a fan club obsession. They a
re recognizing families and children that have been ignored for too long. They a
re friends doing good work and I will continue to share about it. Our kids are i
njured because we never knew there was anything to research. I'm going to do my
best to make sure no one around me fails to know they have options and support i
f they want it. And I will keep fighting for my rights- and your rights, whether
you want them or not.
