My thinking about vaccines has changed over the years as I have had more experience and noted changes in how the medical world treats them. As the number and sorts of shots (each unique, by the way; it’s a mistake to lump them all together) have increased and doctors’ autonomy has decreased, my skepticism has grown.
With my own children I was selective. I never agreed to the Hep-B shot and certainly not Gardasil.
And I totally stand by consulting one’s common sense and intuition when it comes to injecting substances into healthy people, especially children, especially infants.
In the 90s I became aware of the use of aborted fetal tissue in the development and manufacture of the chicken pox vaccine and was determined not to be complicit in that situation.
But the very existence of such a thing was a red flag: chicken pox is a relatively benign childhood disease. Why develop a vaccine for it? Unless it’s just that women can’t leave work for the three weeks each child is mildly sick… a big price to pay, morally speaking, for a social trend that doesn’t tend to the flourishing of the health of our children or our society, but that’s another conversation.
Anyway, over time I’ve seen these threads come together. With lockdown, it was clear to me that whatever the original model for vaccines was, it has now become a reckless mass experiment, combining state control of information (outright and also using the social tool of self-silencing) with elite complicity in outright propaganda, not to mention the drug companies’ immunity from liability.
A demonstration of this dynamic is the impossibility of asking whether there is a causal connection between the many shots a child receives in infancy and the exponential increase in autism.
I have long thought that the polarization of the question has to do with that charged word, autism.
If instead we asked “do the shots track with an increase in both temporary and persistent neurological damage,” then the answer is undeniably yes. Children’s hospitals treat, keep records, and make reports of just such sorts of vaccine harm presenting in their wards on a monthly basis. They get money from the taxpayer (you) to mitigate the damage — there is a fund set up for this purpose.
I encourage you to watch this clip from an interview Tucker Carlson did with Steve Kirsch, who is a numbers-cruncher MIT guy who I guess has made enough money that he doesn’t mind telling the truth. Kirsch is not going to lose his medical practice or face the loss of any license if he says what everyone involved — except parents! — knows. (The whole interview is amazing, but it’s now behind a paywall —I saw part of it on youtube before it disappeared).
Carlson quickly jumped in: “May I? May I ask you to pause that? I mean, the statement you just made is verboten. I mean, no person who wanted to say work at the Atlantic magazine or who takes the New York Times on a daily basis would ever say something like that because you’re not allowed to say that. Tell us why you say that?”
Kirsch responded: “Because it’s true. I’ve collected my own data just independently to look at the connection between vaccines and autism. And it’s amazing. I had over 10,000 parents, tell me about their kids. And I said, hey, tell me about your kids. Tell me how many vaccines they got, and tell me if they have autism. Tell me if they have ADHD. You know, just tell me about your kids. Tell me about the medical conditions. And tell me about how many shots they get. And it’s a straight line. The more shots you get, the more likely you are to get autism. And it’s the same thing for ADHD. It’s the same thing for PANDAS. It’s the same thing for autoimmune diseases. I mean that it is basically the more shots you get, the less healthy the kids are.”
I implore parents to look up each and every shot (intervention) before agreeing to its use on their child. It’s not true that vaccines have always been mandated, as I wrote here. Go here for information found on the inserts for the shots — look up the shots your child would be getting. Go here for whether the shot is ethical (i.e. uses aborted baby cells in its development and/or manufacture). Bodily integrity is a human right! Parents secure this right for their children.
I hope Steve Kirsch’s open statement of the truth will embolden you!
And it's becoming even more widely known due to Robert Kennedy - God bless him. He is appealing to a lot of people at a grassroots level.
There is not a clear causal relationship between vaccines and Autism. As a speech-language pathologist looking at the history of this disorder, our understanding and ability to identify it has increased over time. Autism is not just a vague neurological disorder. It is a specific neurological disorder that is distinguishable from other neurological disorders (such as MS and ALS). While some occur together (ASD and ADHD) that is not always the case. Additionally, there is a very clear familial / genetic connection for Autism spectrum disorders. If we're also bringing anecdotal cases into the discussion, most people (adults and children) I know who are neurotypical have had most or all of their "scheduled" vaccines over the course of their lives. The straight line statement made by the speaker you referenced saying more vaccines = more illness is simply wrong. It is also misleading and irresponsible.
While I agree that the necessity of some vaccines (such as COVID, HPV and chicken pox) is debatable and should never be forced / mandated on people, I also don't think vaccines should be written off in their entirety and have done a great deal of good ... such as in the cases of polio, smallpox, rubella and tetanus for example.
