Proof of burden
Science News; Washington; Feb 22, 2003; Ben Harder;
Abstract:
Two independent teams of scientists report that bodily fluids carry chemical cocktails that include toxic metals, artificial hormones, and ingredients of plastics, flame retardants, pesticides, herbicides and disinfectants. The bottom line of both studies is that a whole raft of synthetic chemicals that simply did not exist 40 or 50 years ago is now in the bodies and in the bloodstreams of most people."
But I am supposed to beleive that vaccines are the evil source.
Show me one well controlled study that definitively fingers vaccines. Don't give me mercury bad, vaccines have mercury, vaccines bad. Fillings have it, batteries have it, fish have it, shellfish have it, kids shoes with flashing lights have it, your thermostat may have it.
We have lotsa crap in us. We may have more problems than in the past but, we are at a loss to specify the causes of diabetes, autism, alzheimer's, etc. It would be nice to have the answers, but by unscientifically black balling vaccines a lot more harm will come to a lot more people.
Go through your post and disregard anything that is not proven. There is not much left there but hypothoses. Take the very first statement. "Mercury in vaccines compromises the immune system." I know you beleive it. It may even be true. But it has never been proven by any study. However, we do know that many lives have been saved by vaccines.
Here is a fact. Skin cancers have increased coincident with the increase of sun-blocks. Does that mean that sun-blocks cause cancer? Maybe, maybe not. You are at the same place with vaccines.
Here is the twist: Dermatologists that study sun screens are funded by sunscreen makers so they have a vested interest in promoting sun screens. We can't trust them. They are on the take. It must be a conspiracy to pad the pockets of both the sun screen makers and the doctors that treat skin cancer.
