"A night in the arms of Venus leads to a lifetime on Mercury".[43] It was administered multiple ways including by mouth,[citation needed] by rubbing it on the skin[citation needed] and by injection.[44] One of the more curious methods was fumigation, in which the patient was placed in a closed box with his head sticking out. Mercury was placed in the box and a fire was started under the box that caused the mercury to vaporize. It was a grueling process for the patient and the least effective for delivering mercury to the body. Syphilis
Why, when a bill to do this study was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, was it not passed and instead a billion dollar bill passed to work on treatment for autism.
Because it's nonsensical to waste vast amounts of money finding a "cure" or a means of prevention for a condition that's almost certainly genetic when people need real help and can't get it.
Actually most parents of ASD kids, once they work through all of the denial and bargaining phases knew the child was different from day one; especially if the child wasn't a first child.
At the time, it appeared that getting autism from the vaccine was a higher probability than getting the disease itself. For most of these diseases, Autism is more life altering the actual disease (assuming access to first world health care, which I have).
Autism is a spectrum disorder that is almost certainly genetically inherited. What you've actually done was to endanger your child because it's far more likely that an vaccine preventable illness would cause a fever sufficient to cause brain damage than it would for an immunization to have a similar adverse reaction. Many people and organizations have a vested interest in scare-mongering on this and other topics for example
, Autism Speaks has grown into the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism Autism Speaks History
yet when you look at their IRS Forms 990 for 2008 you see things like Salaries, other compensation, employee benefits $17,756,876. Total fundraising expenses $14,178,307 = 31,935,183 ; Contributions and grants 65,826,629. ; 31,935,183/ 65,826,629 = 48 % of their revenues goes into salaries and fundraising! The only way you can pull those kind of number is to portray Autism in it's most devastating forms.
I'm sorry, but a vaccine that gives people autism is pretty much the definition of 'defective in design or manufacture.' Not that there is such a thing, but if there were, the company that produced it would be at fault.
Well let's see
Andrew Wakefield (born 1956) is a British-born surgeon and researcher best known for his discredited work regarding the MMR vaccine and its possible connection with autism and inflammatory bowel disease.[1] Wakefield was the lead author of a 1998 study, published in The Lancet, which reported bowel symptoms in twelve children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, to which the authors suggested a possible link with the MMR vaccine. Though stating "We did not prove an association between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and the syndrome described," the paper tabulated parental allegations, and adopted these allegations as fact for the purpose of calculating a temporal link between receipt of the vaccine and the first onset of what were described as "behavioural symptoms". Andrew Wakefield
His "test subjects" were attending a birthday party hosted by a lawyer suing drug company over immunizations causing "autism". Wakefield was one of the last authors of the paper published in the Lancet, 10 of the 12 Co-Authors had had their names removed from the paper and finally the Lancet took the almost unprecedented action of officially retracting the paper.
In particular, the claims in the original paper that children were “consecutively referred” and that investigations were “approved” by the local ethics committee have been proven to be false. Therefore we fully retract this paper from the published record. The Editors of The Lancet The Lancet, London NW1 7BY, UK
Furthermore the British General Medical Council detremined that Wakefield was dishonest, irresponsibile and showed callous disregard for the distress and pain of children. Autism Spectrum Disorders are genetically based and the rates of diagnosis are increasing long after thimersol has been discontinued in vaccines. It's just coincidence that the symptoms of profound Autism become unavoidably obvious at the same time the MMR is given to toddlers.
Umm.. they will be immunized and will therefore not be part of the epidemic?
Perhaps, but immunizations aren't 100% effective, if there is enough "herd" immunity, then the few fringe cases that were immunized but hadn't developed sufficient immunity would be unlikely to come in contact with the disease organisms and still be protected.
Why should the public pay for moving electricity from the Midwest to the East coast?
You say that like they aren't now, you don't think that ConnEd can keep the lights on in NYC without DET in Michigan do you? We've got power plants here that were specifically built to wholesale power to the grid. Think about it a tree shorts out a line or two in Ohio and a quarter of the country goes dark.
My understanding was he wanted the right-of-ways for the electrical transmission line to include the water and mineral rights as well. The real idea was to use the wind farms as a cover to pump-out the aquifer and oil beneath.
My guess is a warehouse somewhere got jacked, several cases of intel core7 went to the blackmarket and several cases of fakes ended up at Newegg. those processors retail for $588 at newegg so the hijackers are making a pretty good chunk of change for each one, enough to attract an organized criminal effort.
There is no reason for them to even want to trace the samples to individuals at this point, the DNA is being analyzed to design a database. They need to know how to slice and dice the DNA to provide a statistically reasonable method of identifying individuals, so they need to find how to amplify segments so that they identify individuals, not species or ethnicities. The ultimate goal is to go into a court and be able to say that there is only a 1 in 6 billion chance that this DNA belongs to anybody else than this one person . Even is the identify can be determined it'll take a court order to do it, if we get to the point that the courts are that far into the government's thrall, we might as well bend over, put ours heads between our legs and kiss our asses goodbye.
me: Does AOL block out-going Port 80? AOL Tech support: "No sir AOL doesn't block any ports" me: then why can't I send email from my website? (15 minutes of chasing my tail later ) AOL " Well sir you can't do that we block out-going port 80, why would you want to do that anyways?"
I think it's far more likely that his cellphone will not be able to get a usable signal there due to cross-channel harmonics, same for his WiFi and even his cordless phone for the land-line then it would be for him to have any health effects. There is no guarantee that his TV, radio or even stereo will work without mind-bending distortion and interference. There is probably a real reason the "killer" apartment is available to him, if something is too good to be true, it probably is.
I think the "show-stopper" is going to be connecting little tiny copper wires to the tiny silicon wires to get the electricity to where it'll do some good without completely FUBARing the optical efficiency; time will tell.
Any data that was erased was done accidentally or thinking there was a non-existent backup, and it happened over a considerable length of time. More of it was corrupted by computer programs that were written by post-grads that sort of knew how to program that were riddled with logic errors and hard-coded results. Right now if anybody really wants to know what's going it would be easier to start over from scratch than it would be to fix the mess they have now. Dr.Spencer at the University of Alabama is basicaly doing that now using the Aqua satellite AMSU window channels and “dirty-window” channels and comparing that data to NOAA-merged International Surface Hourly (ISH) dataset.
Are you sure they aren't? What your calling Oil companies, think of themselves as Energy Companies, if they can supply our energy needs with economically viable renewables and save the petrolium crude for high profit boutique chemicals they'd do it in a heart beat.
Sorry,I read the linked page and I couldn't find where they were addressing the points made by BadAnalogyGuy. How about this if anthropgenic CO2 is responsible for significant global warming, then why after the CO2 levels have still been rising, there has been NoSignificantGlobal Warmingfor15years?
Not all of those "innocent civilians" were innocent or civilians, the opposing forces do have a vested interest in winning the local's goodwill as much as we do, and it's not beyond the scope of their operations to outright lie about such things.
You forgot that digital has to charge all of those teeny tiny capacitors in the CCD, auto-focus, expose them to light, then read the voltage on each one, store them in a computer read-able format, then apply the color correction and exposure factors, then store the image on the mass-storage device; for each picture. My favorite camera is a Canon FTbQL, 135 format, forty years old and has never had a film jam and the battery is only used for the exposure meter so it completely optional. I can expose 3 frames a second manually with that one, it's my workhorse camera. My second favorite is a Soviet build Lubitel 2 a 120 format rugged as hell. The Lubitel's sweet-spot is casual portraits and landscapes when you don't want to use the big-guns. Then there is my 4X5 view camera for spectacular photo quality (it's one hundred years old too), that's the big-gun for formal portraits and composed art photographs. Most of the time, the digital camera on my cellphone gets the most use for snapshots. It's really a matter of using the proper tool for the job.
