let me know.) Otherwise, it just seems an assumption based on lack of science, and perhaps wishful thinking. By the way, Passionless Drone has an interesting discussion on his blog that looks at glial priming in the brain, and immune factors. I understand your concern about the need for vaccines, but I think that unfortunately that argument has been used to stifle the science, because people are too afraid of the consequences of telling the truth. If we don't acknowledge injury; how can we prevent it? How can we make something safer if we pretend nothing ever goes wrong? If we do discover that brain damage can result in autism from vaccines, how would that skew your risk benefit analysis? The fact is that in at least the two case studies I described, the vaccine was a death sentence. And again , you may want to look up what happens when children with undiagnosed severe immunodeficiency get vaccinated with live virus vaccines. So from your stance, some of the children that you insist must be vaccinated; will die because of this. i'm assuming you don't really want that to happen. But the only way to stop it is to actually identify why some children die from the vaccine. You can't do that if you hide the fact that it happens, or demand that everyone gets the shot, regardless of whether or not they are at risk of dying from it. Hera, no you're not mis-stating my position but thank you
