First of all, allow me to say this: Aiden's Heroes is for vaccinations, by no means are we trying to become the next Jenny McCarthy. Your child should be vaccinated against the nasty viruses that these medicines prevent and they should be vaccinated as soon as healthily possible. Let me also reiterate that Aiden's Heroes does not believe that vaccines CAUSE Autism, HOWEVER we do believe, based on multiple research articles and conversations with experts in this field, that vaccines may aggravate a preexisting predisposition of an individual to develop Autism.
The medical community is of the opinion that there is no link between Autism and vaccines. It is important to note how a vaccine works: A vaccine stays in your system for about 6-8 weeks, while the body learns to fight the infection. I don't know if you are aware, but vaccines contain severely weakened or dead forms of the virus your body needs to learn to fight. The white blood cells learn to fight off bacteria and viruses by dismantling them and storing that memory within the cell.
As some of you have seen in the news, a whistle blower from the CDC has revealed themselves, stating that the CDC has covered up evidence that vaccines (specifically the MMR) carry a high risk of causing Autism in the African American population. Here is the video from the Autism Media Channel.
Can Autism be contributed to one particular vaccine? No, I don't think so. In 2001 a mercury based preservative, Thimerosal, was removed from vaccines. Nearly 5,000 families are seeking compensation due to vaccination injury in conjunction with this preservative. Since the vaccine injury fund was developed by Congress in 1988 it has paid approximately 950 claims due to vaccination injury, but never for Autism that can be found. I do know after speaking with certain activists that this is now untrue and money has been paid to multiple families with Autism. The government instead says there is an illness that presents with Autism-like symptoms called mitochondrial disorder. One Portuguese study suggested that 7% of Autistic children may have this disorder, compared to the 0.02% of the typical population. American spokes persons at the University of Rochester simply responded by saying there is no link established between the two disorders in "mainstream" medicine. To read more on this issue, please see the article by Autism Speaks: Government Concedes Vaccine Injury Case.
Research as been conducted into this topic, extensively. In 2007, after Thimerosal was removed from vaccines, researchers at the University of Northern Iowa conducted a study on the link between Autism and Mercury. They found that a significant relationship does exist between the blood levels of mercury and a diagnosis of ASD, in contrast to what was originally reported in a 2004 study. Mercury is found in vaccines in small doses. According to the CDC, today, only trace amounts of Thimerosal can be found in two vaccines given to children, one of which is the flu vaccine which is optional. Here is a list of 22 studies showing links between Autism and vaccines: Activist Post.
So what is the alternative? Did you know that almost as soon as your baby is born they are given shots? Why is that? In the stacks of paperwork you are given to sign in the labor room, one is a vaccination waiver allowing the nurses to give your newborn shots. When they take your newborn to do the APGAR tests, that is when the baby is vaccinated. Aiden was born with a fever and was given antibiotics throughout his three day stay at the hospital, right along with his immunizations before he went home. I wish I knew all this before he was born. Breastfeeding your baby enhances their immune system due to the antibodies they receive through their mother, but it is not a substitute for immunizations. You CAN opt out of immunizations at the hospital and make sure you make it very clear to everyone in the room you do not want your child vaccinated in the hospital. Set up a repeating schedule with your pediatrician, so that every 6-8 weeks the baby has a doctors appointment to receive one vaccine at each appointment. This is usually a simple nurses visit and takes maybe 10-15 minutes for each visit. That way the babies small immune system is not bombarded with foreign bodies and overwhelmed by the act of adapting to them all. It also limits the babies exposure to mercury.
Again, please get your child vaccinated. If you have any ongoing concerns or to discuss the possibility of a recurring vaccine cycle, please talk to your Pediatrician.
