Vaccine fears are on display today in Washington, D.C. A group called Revolution for Truth is leading an anti-vaccine event that includes a rally outside the National Press Club and talks by at least 15 speakers. The day will culminate with a speech by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an outspoken opponent to vaccines and founder of the World Mercury Project. The stated purpose of the event is to protest the biased media coverage, exploitation by the pharmaceutical industry and government protection that, the group says, perpetuate the use of what it says are dangerous inoculations.
Several dozen people gathered outside the National Press Club this morning, protecting protest signs with umbrellas. “Safety before profit,” said one sign. “Children I love suffer serious vaccine injuries,” said another. “Our children are not lab rats,” read yet another. Rally leaders with a megaphone led chants of “CNN, tell the truth! CDC, tell the truth! No vaccine mandates! No more lies!”
Many signs and chants called for a government subpoena of William Thompson, a psychologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Thompson was part of the CDC research team that investigated whether thimerosal-containing vaccines were linked to an increased incidence of autism. Following an interview by Andrew Wakefield, the British doctor known for his role in fueling the widely embraced belief that vaccines cause autism, Thompson became suspected of omitting data linking vaccines and autism in black children from the published CDC study.
Meanwhile, on a rain-soaked sidewalk outside the National Press Club, one sign summarized the conspiracy that many anti-vaccine protesters believe is behind the continued administration of vaccines to children: “Med-Pharma compensates government that mandates; doctor vaccinates; child deteriorates; Congress obfuscates. Subpoena Dr. Thompson! #CDCWhistleblower.”

Yours is the same statist, socialist argument used to justify gun confiscation. As I pointed out in my last post, which you ignored, the AAP uses the discredited Kellerman anti-gun study to justify their strict gun control position.
Where are the long term, double blind placebo studies to prove the safety of injecting mercury, aluminum, aborted fetal tissue (etc) directly into the blood streams of children?
Funny how is is conservatives, Christians and Republicans who are for the most part supportive of parental authority in medical decisions, including vaccine exemptio. The leaders of the forced vaccination movement are affiliated with the pro-aborts, the population controllers and various other flavors of statism. They are despicable scum.
Your judgmental pronouncements serve to steel the convictions of people with common sense. Bless your heart.
Thanks, Kara.
Child abuse is unlawful. Allowing children to die and suffer infectious diseases so easily preventable that may maim them for life, is child abuse.
Doing likewise to pets and livestock is also abusive behavior. You people have invested in snake oil. I understand the centuries old lure.
Please stick to the subject.
common sense isn’t common. Child abuse is.
And anti-vaxxers say the same in reverse. Deliberately injecting brain damaging poisons into children is child abuse. Both sides are firmly cemented in their positions. It seems analogous to freedom-loving patriots and tyrannical globalists.
>>common sense isn’t common. Child abuse is.
********************************************
On that we agree. Common sense screams stop poisoning our children with the vaccine ingredients. Child abuse is allowing one’s children to be injected with said poison.
So, you have never had an immunology course in your life yet you stand in judgement of the science. Wow. Unbelievable.
*********************************************
No, Dr. Doolittle, what’s unbelievable is that you seem to think that no one else can become educated about something without some course or degree.
I have taken lots of classes in biology, anatomy and physiology before I changed my major. However, it doesn’t make me an expert on autism.
I also live on a small farm and vaccinate my own livestock, including cats and dogs, but that doesn’t make me a vaccine expert either.
So, get off your high horse(no pun intended)and stop posting your resume’
Well said, thank you, Kara.
I can only ponder why you changed your major. I’ve seen it a hundred times—I assume you went into the liberal arts for good reasons.
Somebody has to address the abuse of children and I will not stand by and listen to the BS about medical professionals causing autism in children by vaccinating them. It’s a lie. A lie propagated by liberals like JFK, a shyster lawyer lining his pockets at the same time.
We don’t have a problem with ant-vaxxers refusing to vaccinate their kids. That just thins the herd of genetic mental defectives.

(3) 10,000 people who do neither (control group)
Try looking at www.clinicaltrials.gov, where most researchers testing drugs register their clinical trials.
Unlike what the anti-vaxxers claim, vaccines are tested extensively. In order to use a vaccine in a particular population, the vaccine must first be tested on that population. So, for example, a vaccine may not be used in children under the age of 6 unless it has been tested in that group. In addition, most countries will not approve a vaccine for use in their country unless it has been tested there with representative members of their populations.
The flu shot is in a rather special class, since it must be reformulated every year. Since it takes ten years or longer to fully test a vaccine before FDA will approve it, flu vaccines have an accelerated testing process. The technology used is exactly the same from year to year; hence the technology does not need testing. But the virus must still be tested to ensure it is safe and invokes an adequate immune response.
A phase 3 trial can involve thousands of patients. That is the last stage of testing before a drug manufacturer can file a request for FDA approval.
Why not? The handful of antigens that the infant receives in the vaccines is insignificant when compared to the number of antigens that infant is exposed to on a daily basis. They touch surfaces, they put their hands in their mouth constantly... they expose themselves to thousands and thousands of antigens every day.
Furthermore, the vaccines that are used today are much more targeted. Instead of using whole killed bacteria, for example, which would contain thousands of antigens, they extract the component of the bacteria that can invoke a protective immune response. Thus, a modern vaccine might only contain a dozen antigens where its predecessor contained thousands. An infant today gets vaccinated against more diseases, but with fewer antigens than ever before.
Why do you post this bilge?
As far as I’m concerned, anti-vaxxers are soulmates of the pro-abortion mongers. The goal of both groups is the same: to cause more children to die.
As little as a decade ago, infectious diseases were responsible for over half of all deaths. Deaths from infectious disease are now less than half of the total, but still are responsible for more deaths than any other single cause. Also, FYI, infectious disease is a significant cause of many cancers and heart disease. So, when infectious disease related cancer and heart disease deaths are counted along with infectious disease deaths, it is apparent that infectious disease is responsible for the majority of deaths.
So when I see someone advocate against preventing deadly infectious disease, I automatically assume they have the same motives as abortion proponents. They hate people, and want to kill them off.
They do this because the immunity from pertussis (whooping cough) vaccines wanes over time. So, giving you a combo vaccine is just a time and cost saving measure to make sure you get your immunity boosted against both diseases at the same time.
Right now, pertussis is a serious problem. Adults or teens can harbor the bacteria without showing symptoms. But if they encounter a baby, they can pass those bacteria to the baby and cause a life-threatening infection. Since babies cannot be immunized against pertussis until the age of two months, the public health community is trying to protect these babies by making sure that everyone around the baby is protected. Also, pregnant women are now being vaccinated in the hope that their antibodies will give the baby some protection until it can be immunized.
That is an outright lie propagated by the anti-vaxx hoaxers.
Vaccines are tested exactly like other drugs are tested. You can look for yourself at www.clinicaltrials.gov to examine the details of vaccine clinical trials that are registered at the site. In addition, the published results of vaccine research are cataloged at www.pubmed.org. The testing and regulatory requirements for vaccines to get FDA approval are as stringent as those for any other drug.

Finally, comments from another scientist. Thank you mom.
Researchers have identified a number of genes associated with autism. Studies of people with autism have found irregularities in several regions of the brain. Other studies suggest that people with autism have abnormal levels of serotonin or other neurotransmitters in the brain. These abnormalities indicate that autism usually results from the disruption of normal brain development early in fetal development caused by defects in genes that control brain growth and that regulate how neurons communicate with each other. Were these children vaccinated during fetal development. I don’t think so.
Sometimes fast-tracked isn’t good. And HPV isn’t contracted unless the person has direct sexual contact with someone who has the virus. It is easily avoidable, in other words. And, despite what the Media tells the masses, not every teenager engages in sexual activities. Most vaccines are created to ward off easily communicable viruses that aerosolize, i.e. measles, mumps, etc. The Sexual Revolution has been very damaging.
Yikes. Now they can’t even wait to poison the baby until it is born, and have to stab it with their needle while it is still in the womb? The depths of evil know no bounds.
I believe NONE of the research by any gov’t agency. NONE. Whatever they push is suspect. They do not operate in the best interests of the People. THEY are the ones who lie, deceive, and engage in their depopulation schemes.
But this is still a somewhat free country so you can believe your gov’t if you wish.
Mike Adam’s words below reflect my view very well:
Mike Adams (Natural News):
“Every government in the world today is founded on a “big lie” that you’re about to see explained below. This is true regardless of party affiliation, nationality or era in which the government operates. All governments — past, present, and future — are founded on this “big lie,” without exception.
What is this BIG LIE? It’s the idea that those who are in power will represent the interests of others who have no power.
This “big lie” fantasizes that selfish, power-seeking, egoistic human beings are magically transmuted into humble, compassionate, ethical “representatives” the minute they win an election.
We are to believe that all their hunger for power instantly vanishes at the moment they win, replaced by God-like universal love for all the people, even at the expense of their own careers or personal wealth accumulation.”
