Dr Andrew Wakefield has done studies of the MMR vaccine and has found links to it and Autism.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7kbWfsygG4
In the early 1980's strains of the MMR vaccine had to be withdrawn because they were causing Meningitis.

The British Govt withdrew the singular proven measles vaccine and replaced it with the multiple measles, mumps rubella vaccine.Options for singular safe proven vaccines were withdrawn.

How do we hold our Govts accountable when effects from their ill planned health remedies take years to emerge and are almost impossible to prove.

Here's a little info on your Dr Andrew Wakefield and his discredited study.

"....Ultimately, MMR rates plummeted and the measles, vanquished in the U.K. in the 1990's, came roaring back to endemic levels within a decade."

"This year, the U.K. has had more than 1,200 cases of measles, after a record number of nearly 2,000 cases last year. The country once reported only several dozen cases every year. It now ranks second in Europe, behind only Rumania....."This is the legacy of the Wakefield scare," said Dr David Elliman, spokesman for the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, referring to a paper published in 1998 by Andrew Wakefield and colleagues that is widely rejected by scientists.....Britain's top medical board stripped Wakefield of the right to practice medicine in the U.K., ruling that he and his two colleagues showed a callous disregard" for the children in the study, subjecting them to unnecessary, invasive tests. As part of his research, Wakefield took blood samples fro children at his son's birthday party, paying them about 5 pounds each....and later joking about the incident." "

Thank heaven that Bill Gates has the money and common sense to aim to eliminate common diabolical diseases via vaccination.
Hasn't Arjay noticed that Wakefield's study was completely discredited?

Very, very occasionally a vaccination appears to go wrong but the damage done on those rare occasions is miniscule compared to the overall benefits of immunisation. Arjay and his ilk should remember that, "After does not mean because." The opposite of that is the witch doctor's approach.

I am old enough to have known the fears of my parents in the 1930s that they might lose me to diphtheria, or tetanus, or polio or some other childhood disease.

My mother worked as the volunteer nurse, sterilizing needles and otherwise assisting the doctor at Thirroul Primary School, the day I remember getting a jab.

'Jabbed – Love, fear and vaccines', which was on SBS last Sunday evening, explored the mooted connections between vaccines and conditions like autism and epilepsy and came to the conclusion that there is none, except that vaccines can occasionally trigger the onset of a genetic condition that would have become apparent in the relevant person very shortly afterwards in the absence of any vaccine application.

arjay, the existing thread is complemented by your one.
This one highlights the fact some expose children to needless danger on very little worth while evidence.

a good friend of mine had ababy daugher who appeared healthy and then ended up with frequent fitting and severe disability just after being vacinated. They have had a torrid life caring for her despite their great love for her. I have always given the doctors the benefit of the doubt with vacanations although after seeing how dishonest many 'scienctist' have been with the gw scam it does concern that the whole truth is not out when it comes to vacinations.
