Court Rules Autism Not Caused By Childhood Vaccine
wiredog writes "From The Washington Post comes word that three special masters have decided that MMR vaccines do not cause autism. 'Special master George Hastings said the parents ... had "been misled by physicians who are guilty, in my view, of gross medical misjudgment." ... "the evidence advanced by the petitioners has fallen far short of demonstrating ... a link."'
Let's make vaccine manufacturers as civilly liable for their products as every other manufacturer. Clearly, their products are proven safe now, and there is no possible scientific link between some of these products and serious harm in children, therefore they don't need any extra legal protection.
Funny thing is, I have met people who are very allergic to most vaccines, and my wife knows a woman who lost one or two of her siblings (he was a healthy kid) because of a fatal reaction to one.
This is why I hesitate to let "experts" force major social projects on us. What happens if and when 20 years from now there is serious evidence of a link between autism and some vaccines. The people who mandated them will say "sorry we didn't know," but the parents should be able to say to them "fuck you, you will pay horrifically for what you did to our kids, you miserable social engineers."
Boy I feel better that the courts ruled on this, because Lord knows there's no chance of Corporate-led, Pharmaceutical-grade palm grease being applied 3x/day there to "enhance" someones opinion...
I see, so what your saying is they don't work.

"I don't believe in government"
so there is now one governing in your home?
You're simplistic view is nice when tyour 15, but it's time to grow up.
There is a government..a group of people the govern society. In the US some of those people are paid to keep things moving, and everyone who votes is part of the way things become governed.
government is real, making a false dichotomy of us and them is incorrect.
Ahh I see.. a believer! lol.. out to prove the anarchist wrong ehh? My favorite line people use to me is "It's all around us! don't you see it?!"
You believe that government is people right. Exclusively is government a single person, or only a group of people? Do they only become government when they combine like Voltron, or are they government alone?
You say if I vote then I am government. But I *do* vote (even though I don't believe in it) and for some reason .. the people that do believe in government don't actually believe *I* control it. I have come out of the voting booth declaring "Since I control government now, I have banished it! You may all go home!" .. they don't.. I'm pretty skeptical you control government either.. You can try tho, I wish you luck.
Some people refer to government as a geographical region. If you live *in* the State of Kentucky. You are not living *in* a person are you?
Government *couldn't* be people. Logically this does not hold by ANY stretch. Try again.
I'll have you know, I've called up those individuals professing to "represent" government... they have no idea what it is either. (other than what I mentioned before. Legal fiction.)

You need took prove the community health theory and herd immunity theory before jabbing every child in the country. There has not been one study that shows vaccinations are actually effective. Hygiene and diet have had a much stronger effect on the eradication of infectious disease than vaccination and the declining trend started decades before vaccines were ever introduced. Worse one of the reasons for pushing the rubella vaccine is that if a woman becomes infected during pregnancy there is a change of birth defects. Sadly if a person is immunized as a child there is no indication the acquired "immunity" lasts until adult hood. However if you were to contract rubella as a child you are surely immune for life.
