Wakefields paper was just a collection of 12 anecdotes
Yep. I could pick 12 kids without autism, verify they had been vaccinated with MMR as babies then claim "Vaccines Prevent Autism" which is basically what Wafefield did.
Thimerosal is not mercury. It is a compound with mercury in it with low bioavailabity.
That's like not eating salt because you're afraid of the chlorine molecule it contains.
There are countless pages out there discussing the dangers of chlorine, that doesn't make salt a hyper-deadly toxin.
You get more mercury from a tuna sandwich than you do from vaccines.
The amount of environmental mercury is high, especially around places that burn coal.
In any case, it's been known for ages that mercury is a neurotoxin. You're drawing correlations to vaccines and autism where no cause has actually been demonstrated.
Please link to any peer-reviewed science journal which states they should give kids 30 vaccines in a single day. Or, conversely, any peer-reviewed science journal which shows 30 a day would cause damage ("reasonable evidence" you say).
And St. Jobs spake thus "Release the iCloud Unified
Networking Topology.
And it was good.
St. Jobs was gay and magnanimous. His
works doth bring joy and KoolAid of Orange to his flock. Much loved was he.
St. Jobs thus commanded "Bring forth sweaters of turtles and necks and blackness."
And his wish was fulfilled. "Let only I be the one to don such garment!"
And a young boy in the throng proclaimed "St. Jobs is without clothing!"
St. Jobs lay hands on the boy which caused great convulse.
The boy cried out "Let me drink of ye KoolAid!"
And St. Jobs smiled as yonder Cap of Market topped 300 billion shekels.

Pharmaceutical companies make relatively little money with vaccines. They make far more money on chronic disease and continuous medication.
The world is far better off with vaccines and "big pharma" than without.
Was this "anonymous reader" the guy who owns the blog?
There are always tears when I have sex, it's the pepper spray.
Maybe, I don't know (never been in the military). However that's far past the age that autism would develop.
Chiropractors are not medical doctors. You may want to point out that fact to him.
I guess the GNAA will have to rename their fine organization.
Great point! ;)
That homeopathic urine does wonders for my stamina!
How about I piss in your cornflakes? What's the problem it's not piss it just has a small amount of piss in it.
If you were to bind the piss with the cornflakes and create a new, safe and tasty molecule then I would try it.
They drink recycled urine on the space station, btw.

GP was suggesting that 30 vaccines a day is commonplace. I'm asking for any proof for his/her claims.
Simple.
Your FUD-slathered comment suggests a cover up.
Do you have a link to any reputable journal to show what you suggest, Anon?
clicked too fast.
Not OSHA, How about the FDA?. Or are they in on the big conspiracy?

When will they stop?
They won't stop.
The anti-vax kooks have been in this game for so long and have so much time and energy invested in it they cannot back out now.
Even if Wakefield came clean and admitted it was all bogus data, the Age of Autism/Generation Rescue quacks won't believe it.
This is their business!

I think the concept of vaccines are good however when they stop putting mercury and other toxic additives then that will be another story.
They haven't used Thimerosal in MMR vaccines since 2001(?). There are trace amounts in most flu and hepatitis vaccines.
The anti-vax crowd doesn't usually talk about that, though. Wonder why?
Jenny McCarthy's son was misdiagnosed.

Yes because mocking something you can't comprehend makes you look cool.
Careful dude, Santa is watching your every move and may give you coal this xmas...
Yeah, I'm with you. In fact SGU was the only Stargate series I watched. Only saw 2 or 3 eps of the previous ones and didn't care for them.
I'm sure this great news will bring closure to his family.
Now they can close this dark chapter of their lives and move on.

My brother and I have OpenBSD boxes as our firewalls and site-to-site VPNs between our houses.
