Ah the holidays... Family contraversies galore. But at least mine are ostensibly open-minded. A couple of my family members have shown an interest in at least considering the facts I share with them. Unfortunately, they're firm believers in everything that goes against the "status quo"...

Seems like his book is getting a fair bit of coverage (and comment) http://abcnews.go.com/Health/ColdandFluNews/story?id=6150482 http://www.newsweek.com/id/165644

Flu season is coming up and after all the arguments on this forum I was considering getting a flu vaccination this year. I looked on the NHS direct site which seems to discourage those with low risk of complications from getting vaccinated...

I see a fair amount of woo relating to vaccination on teh interweb, but I have seldom seen malignant stupidity displayed at the incandescent temperature of this particular antivax blog rant. It dates from last year, but is just so ridiculous that I just had to share for you to either laugh at or...

(Sorry if I'm using statistical terms wrong. It's the lectures, they are so boring...) I've been arguing with an anti-vac guy, who is using this article as evidence of his claims. (This is a link to the first part of the article on UPI, the first link has both parts.) I want to know, am I...

From todays Snide and Moaning Herald: (linakge) . . . and of course the risks of HBV infection are entirely inconsequential when compared with the "big question marks" that concern the idiot grandfather. MtD (Who needs his HBV vaccination redone, come to think of it)

ZYnG-tPehbs Autism? Yeah, right. Avian flu on flu vaccines are the new sensation in the lastest NWO genocide techniques! :rolleyes:

So my wife is currently expecting (in Dec), and I spend a lot of time interacting online with other expecting mommies. Recently, the topic of vaccination has come up, and it's not pretty. But I've really learned something from it: one of the things that is very clear is that a lot of the...

http://www.the-scientist.com/blog/display/54844/ Maybe. This one is plant-based, so might be viewed as more "natural", even though we humans are quite far from being plants.

There was a lot of discussion and some criticism recently when England and Wales government opted to go for vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV) using the bivalent GSK cervarix product (which protects against types 6 & 11) rather than the quadrivalent Merck gardasil vaccine which...

Medicine is definitely not my strong point. But I just had to say something about this weekends USA Weekend article by Dr. Tedd Mitchell. The article is very short, he talks about 3 myths... Vaccines don't work Vaccines aren't necessary Vaccines are dangerous I am not upset about any of...

There has been a lot of activity recently about autism/vaccination issues. First there was the rally rather strangely called "Green our vaccines", as though the protection of our nearest and dearest somehow comes hand in hand with a massive carbon footprint and environmental devastation. This...

Let's dissect this bloated work, shall we? Be warned: it's 150 minutes long. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8674401787208020885&hl=en There's a lot to tackle but I'll give my input thus far; I'm not even done. -The production value is horrendous. It feels like something a 12 year...

Video at CNN I'm reminded of a Usenetter I dealt with, a vaccination opponent (and active measles-party organizer) who claimed that the human species had spontaneously developed a natural resistance to smallpox -- and that it had, just by coincidence, happened at the time smallpox vaccination...

First, let me start off by telling you that I'm 17. With that being said, I went to my doctor today (I'm sick) and then he looked into my record and discovered that I still haven't taken my meningitis vaccine. He told me I was supposed to take it around the age of 11 or 12 and he had no idea...

Dogs died from ‘virus on shoes’ I wonder who told her that homoeopathy would protect her dogs from Parvovirus.

Well, not really. ;) But one could interpret the results of the latest study that failed to find a link between MMR vaccination and autism as demonstrating vaccination is protective: For those who can't access it, here is the abstract. A prediction: The study is bound to be dismissed by...

Pediatricians Say Fictional TV Show's Autism-Vaccine Link Could Be Literally Lethal By Brandon Keim January 29, 2008 | 1:54:19 PM The American Academy of Pediatrics wants television network ABC to cancel the opener of "Eli Stone," a legal drama slated to debut on Thursday with...

I have understood the Gardasil vaccine to be safe and effective: http://www.aafp.org:80/afp/20070815/steps.html However, I have just read this: If it wasn't a reaction to the jab, does anyone know what these two unfortunate young women could have died from that would be undetectable?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071017/ap_on_re_us/vaccine_skeptics;_ylt=Ag2z8xJmyHT4FSlEL9mZANis0NUE An interesting story today about people claiming "religious" exemptions for their children to avoid vaccinations -- when they are not particularilly relgious. I don't know why this makes me so...

I found this "Alternative Doctor" site and thought I'd share a little of what I found. What caught my attention was the title, "Six Reasons to Question Vaccinations". Here they are: The site also has "Ten Reasons to Just Say 'No' to Vaccinations". In no way do I promote this. I merely...

Apologies if these have been covered before, but a couple of quick searches didn't reveal much. I was wondering a couple of things about homoeopathy, and I know that several people here are more familiar with it than me. Firstly, and I know this has been covered before, how does one best...

A little ballad from the anti-vaxers… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnn9KzOxuLU

There's been a lot of good blog posts about autism, MMR and Holford going up in the past day or so. Links are below - happy reading! http://breathspakids.blogspot.com/2007/06/patrick-holford-and-dr-andrew.html Patrick Holford and Dr Andrew Wakefield's Discredited Findings: Part 1...

Quick background: My mother-in-law gave me an article on vaccines and brain damage (called Vaccine Brain Damage, Aftermath of Hepatitis B Shots). It's by Lucia Morgan and appears in "alive" issue 188. Basically, it lists a lot of horribleness about Hep B (and other) vaccines and quotes several...

From the (UK) Times: Muslim urged to shun 'unholy' vaccines Emphasis added. At least the New Age anti-vaxxers won't blame the Jews and Crusaders when their kids get sick. Only "corporate America". :mad:

"Why There's No Autism Epidemic" I was reading this on Slate and I thought this might be another nice source for those of you battling the Anti-Vax crowd. That's the start of a really interesting paragraph that lists some examples of what could likely be reports of autism throughout history...

There will be a debate between the author of Evidence of Harm and the author of the article Sticking Up for Thimerosal in Slate, whose book Vaccine will becoming early next year. The debate will be on Jan. 13 at 10 a.m. in the Price Center, University of California, San Diego. As you can...

I had a CTer email me asking for links to sites with 9/11 songs and lyrics last night. I had posted some of the movement's greatest hits on my blog and I guess my site came up in a search of his. Well... long story short, he has a site (which is under construction), that had a link to...
