10 Billion over the next 10 years to do research on vaccines.  What’s wrong with this picture? I am sure there are hundreds of people who check into this blog who can not fathom why anyone would want to do that. I am sure there are a lot of people that hate the word vaccine.  More and more items are coming up in the news almost daily about vaccines being the actual cause of Autism.  Someone has to talk to this guy. It would be something nice if he donated another 10 billion towards making vaccines safe to use.

This guy Dana explains it better.  http://www.smartplanet.com/

Like I said before my son Matt is 30 and Autistic and so I have had a lot of time to see things the way they were and the way they are now.  They have had these shots since the 1950s and back then I got my first shot when I was in grade school. It was a polio shot. Back then there I remember there was a lot talk about the possible problems with kids getting these polio shots. I personally got a scar on my arm, but that was all. I can remember back then there were more than enough kids walking around with arm braces and using “Iron Lungs” from getting things like polio.  I can see where the parents would want to get these shots for their kids. There was a kind of helpless feeling when there is no way to protect your kids from these diseases. The health authorities told us back then that the shots were safe and they have not changed their story since.  Since a scar on the arm was better than an “Iron Lung” everyone opted in for the shots. On the other hand no real Autism showed up. It did start showing up however in 1979 when Matt was born but no one back then knew what it was or the symptoms or what they were. I remember there were changes in procedures and strengths back then. Around the time Matt was born they went from the age of around 5 when you get your shots to very early on in life like 1 or 2 years old. I believe that has something to do with Autism. The age kids get these shots. That is what changes around the time Autism popped up. Hell, now they give shots to kids in the hospital when they are 2 days old. When a kid is 2 days old his brain is nothing but mush. Now they give kids shots every few months and end when they get 4 or 5. The shots are much stronger too.

I guess what I am saying is that there was no autism back in the 50s but there was when they moved the time up to very young for injections. I would be an advocate of waiting till the brain has hardened before shots are given. Maybe start at 5.
