Reply #36: the amount of vaccines children were scheduled to receive increased in the [View All]

early 90s. Kids at very young ages were then required to get three, four, and even five vaccines at a time. When I was a child, kids were not required to have that amount of vaccines, so I think the sheer number of vaccines is the difference rather than the fact that they always contained thimerasol.

My son had a very bad reaction to his 15 month vaccines, he went limp and ran a high fever for days, and then stopped talking (he had been talking like crazy before those shots). He completely changed, in 48 hours. He also developed a severe vision problem after the vaccines. He is thankfully almost completely recovered now, due to aggressive early intervention and just plain luck. Others have not been so lucky.

I do not advocate not vaccinating children, I think vaccines are necessary. I just requested non-thimerasol vaccines afterwards for my kids and have never had a problem since. I'm glad that they've finally taken the thimerasol out of the vaccines.

I will never believe that there wasn't a connection in my son's case. I believe what I saw with my own eyes in this instance. I think that some kids are just more sensitive to mercury in their systems and have more difficulty eliminating the substance, this sensitivity triggers neurological problems in that subset of kids. Just my opinion. There is absolutely no autism spectrum disorder in either my husband's family or my own, and I'm going back generations so in our case I don't think there is a hereditary link.

BTW, the NYTimes seems to be really invested somehow in debunking the possibility of the thimerasol link. They ran two articles a few weeks ago too, that each contradicted each other. What's up with that.
