Lets not forget Over 109,000 people died from measles in 2017 — needlessly

Link - Source of that Info please.

Still waiting for the link to the source of that statement ...

Here's Andrew Wakefield on why the Lancet said he is discredited, and Pro-Vaccine Articles state that he's been 'debunked' that vaccines cause autism.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield Deals With Allegations

Since the release of the 1998 paper in The Lancet, which suggested the possibility of a link between a novel form of bowel disease, autism, and the MMR vaccine, one of the report’s co-authors, Dr. Andrew Wakefield has been the subject of great controversy and defamation. Here, Wakefield addresses the allegations of fraud, conflict of interest, and medical misconduct that have been leveled against him.

Mar 7, 2019 - This was the first year on record when global measles deaths fell below 100,000 a year. However, in 2017 global measles deaths rose by over

In 1980, 2.6 million people died of it, and in 1990, 545,000 died; by 2014, global vaccination programs had reduced the number of deaths from measles to 73,000. Despite these trends, rates of disease and deaths increased from 2017 to 2019 due to a decrease in immunization.

Jennifer you cackled typical Libs Snopes, Pundit, You missed Africa Check.

Hoax claim that 'Bill Gates refused to vaccinate his own children ...
[africacheck.org]...

Here's the proper link that works -

[africacheck.org]

And in that article is this paragraph -

"But did the couple refuse to vaccinate their own children? (Disclosure: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a funding partner of Africa Check.)"

So don't that beat all - Riverhousebill posted a link to an article about Bill Gates that is funded by ... Bill Gates - lol

Talk about biased sources!

Keep cognitive biases in mind

Worries around the safety of vaccines have existed as long as vaccines themselves, but much of the recent rise in anti-vaccination sentiment can be traced to a study in the Lancet by Andrew Wakefield that connected autism and the MMR vaccine. That research has now been thoroughly debunked – in 2010, the Lancet issued a retraction on Wakefield’s paper, and he lost his medical licence – but once an idea takes hold, it’s difficult to get rid of it.

Just read lately that Wakefield was not debunked, but can't remember where. I'll have to look it up when I have time.

OK, I was right, as usual...

There are tons of articles, if you search Google, which state that Dr. Andrew Wakefield has been totally vindicated and exonerated - here are just a few -

Wakefield’s Lancet Paper Vindicated

[www.bmj.com]

New independent research presented at the 2010 Pediatric Academic
Societies Annual Meeting in Vancouver, Canada confirms unequivocally the
findings of Dr Andrew Wakefield’s 1998 Lancet paper of an association
between autism and serious gastrointestinal disease in children [1].

The new study was conducted by the Autism Speaks Autism Treatment
Network and covered data from 15 treatment and research centers in the
United States and Canada. Of 1185 children aged 2 to18 years with an
autistic condition 45% were reported to have GI symptoms. Abdominal pain
was most common (59%) followed by constipation (51%), diarrhea (43%),
other (40%), nausea (31%) and bloating (26%). Reports of GI symptoms
increased with age. Sleep problems occurred in 70% of children with than
those without GI symptoms (30%). The problems affected all children
regardless of gender, ethnic background or intelligence.

This is not the first time Wakefield’s research has been confirmed by
independent researchers around the world [2], [3].

The MMR vaccine and autism: Sensation, refutation, retraction, and fraud
T. S. Sathyanarayana Rao and Chittaranjan Andrade1

This article has been cited by other articles in PMC.
In 1998, Andrew Wakefield and 12 of his colleagues[1] published a case series in the Lancet, which suggested that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine may predispose to behavioral regression and pervasive developmental disorder in children. Despite the small sample size (n=12), the uncontrolled design, and the speculative nature of the conclusions, the paper received wide publicity, and MMR vaccination rates began to drop because parents were concerned about the risk of autism after vaccination.[2]

Almost immediately afterward, epidemiological studies were conducted and published, refuting the posited link between MMR vaccination and autism.[3,4] The logic that the MMR vaccine may trigger autism was also questioned because a temporal link between the two is almost predestined: both events, by design (MMR vaccine) or definition (autism), occur in early childhood.

The next episode in the saga was a short retraction of the interpretation of the original data by 10 of the 12 co-authors of the paper. According to the retraction, “no causal link was established between MMR vaccine and autism as the data were insufficient”.[5] This was accompanied by an admission by the Lancet that Wakefield et al.[1] had failed to disclose financial interests (e.g., Wakefield had been funded by lawyers who had been engaged by parents in lawsuits against vaccine-producing companies). However, the Lancet exonerated Wakefield and his colleagues from charges of ethical violations and scientific misconduct.[6]

The Lancet completely retracted the Wakefield et al.[1] paper in February 2010, admitting that several elements in the paper were incorrect, contrary to the findings of the earlier investigation.[7] Wakefield et al.[1] were held guilty of ethical violations (they had conducted invasive investigations on the children without obtaining the necessary ethical clearances) and scientific misrepresentation (they reported that their sampling was consecutive when, in fact, it was selective). This retraction was published as a small, anonymous paragraph in the journal, on behalf of the editors.[8]

The final episode in the saga is the revelation that Wakefield et al.[1] were guilty of deliberate fraud (they picked and chose data that suited their case; they falsified facts).[9] The British Medical Journal has published a series of articles on the exposure of the fraud, which appears to have taken place for financial gain.[10–13] It is a matter of concern that the exposé was a result of journalistic investigation, rather than academic vigilance followed by the institution of corrective measures. Readers may be interested to learn that the journalist on the Wakefield case, Brian Deer, had earlier reported on the false implication of thiomersal (in vaccines) in the etiology of autism.[14] However, Deer had not played an investigative role in that report.[14]

The systematic failures which permitted the Wakefield fraud were discussed by Opel et al.[15]

Go to:
IMPLICATIONS
Scientists and organizations across the world spent a great deal of time and money refuting the results of a minor paper in the Lancet and exposing the scientific fraud that formed the basis of the paper. Appallingly, parents across the world did not vaccinate their children out of fear of the risk of autism, thereby exposing their children to the risks of disease and the well-documented complications related thereto. Measles outbreaks in the UK in 2008 and 2009 as well as pockets of measles in the USA and Canada were attributed to the nonvaccination of children.[7] The Wakefield fraud is likely to go down as one of the most serious frauds in medical history.[9]

Scientists who publish their research have an ethical responsibility to ensure the highest standards of research design, data collection, data analysis, data reporting, and interpretation of findings; there can be no compromises because any error, any deceit, can result in harm to patients as well harm to the cause of science, as the Wakefield saga so aptly reveals. We sincerely hope that researchers will keep this ethical responsibility in mind when they submit their manuscripts to the Indian Journal of Psychiatry.

That's an old article - 2011 - which states that in 2010, Lancet retracted the paper -

"The Lancet completely retracted the Wakefield et al.[1] paper in February 2010, admitting that several elements in the paper were incorrect, contrary to the findings of the earlier investigation.[7] Wakefield et al.[1] were held guilty of ethical violations (they had conducted invasive investigations on the children without obtaining the necessary ethical clearances) and scientific misrepresentation (they reported that their sampling was consecutive when, in fact, it was selective). This retraction was published as a small, anonymous paragraph in the journal, on behalf of the editors.[8]"

***********

So After that date, 2011 when your article was written, Dr. Andrew Wakefield was exonerated/vindicated. See the many articles I posted here -

or go to Google and look for yourself - "Andrew Wakefield Vindicated" - and you'll see that he was vindcated/exonerated after 2011.

**********

Also, read this - everything you need to know about how it has been Proven that Vaccines Cause Autism. Proven many times over since Wakefield's report:

Controversial Doctor and Autism Media Channel Director proven right

MMR Vaccine Causes Autism & Inflammatory Bowel Disease

[healthimpactnews.com]

Two landmark events – a government concession in the US Vaccine Court, and a groundbreaking scientific paper – confirm that physician, scientist, and Autism Media Channel [AMC] Director, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, and the parents were right all along.

In a recently published December 13, 2012 vaccine court ruling, hundreds of thousands of dollars were awarded to Ryan Mojabi, whose parents described how “MMR vaccinations,” caused a “severe and debilitating injury to his brain, diagnosed as Autism Spectrum Disorder (‘ASD’).”

Later the same month, the government suffered a second major defeat when young Emily Moller from Houston won compensation following vaccine-related brain injury that, once again, involved MMR and resulted in autism. The cases follow similar successful petitions in the Italian and US courts (including Hannah Poling [ii], Bailey Banks [iii], Misty Hyatt [iv], Kienan Freeman [v], Valentino Bocca [vi], and Julia Grimes [vii]) in which the governments conceded or the court ruled that vaccines had caused brain injury. In turn, this injury led to an ASD diagnosis. MMR vaccine was the common denominator in these cases.

And today, scientists and physicians from Wake Forest University, New York, and Venezuela, reported findings that not only confirm the presence of intestinal disease in children with autism and intestinal symptoms, but also indicate that this disease may be novel. [viii] Using sophisticated laboratory methods Dr. Steve Walker and his colleagues endorsed Wakefield’s original findings by showing molecular changes in the children’s intestinal tissues that were highly distinctive and clearly abnormal.

From 1998 Dr. Wakefield discovered and reported intestinal disease in children with autism. [ix] Based upon the medical histories of the children he linked their disease and their autistic regression to the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR vaccine). He has since been subjected to relentless personal and professional attacks in the media, and from governments, doctors and the pharmaceutical industry. In the wake of demonstrably false and highly damaging allegations of scientific fraud by British journalist Brian Deer and the British Medical Journal, Dr. Wakefield is pursuing defamation proceedings against them in Texas. [x]

While repeated studies from around the world confirmed Wakefield’s bowel disease in autistic children [xi] and his position that safety studies of the MMR are inadequate, [xii] Dr. Wakefield ’s career has been destroyed by false allegations. Despite this he continues to work tirelessly to help solve the autism catastrophe.

The incidence of autism has rocketed to a risk of around 1 in 25 for children born today. Mean while governments, absent any explanation and fearing loss of public trust, continue to deny the vaccine autism connection despite the concessions in vaccine court.

Speaking from his home in Austin, Texas, Dr. Wakefield said,

There can be very little doubt that vaccines can and do cause autism. In these children, the evidence for a n adverse reaction involving brain injury following the MMR that progresses to an autism diagnosis is compelling. It’s now a question of the body count. The parents’ story was right all along. Governments must stop playing with words while children continue to be damaged . My hope is that recognition of the intestinal disease in these children will lead to the relief of their suffering. This is long , long overdue .”

Dr. Andrew Wakefield is a best selling author, [xi] founder of the autism research non profit Strategic Autism Initiative (SAI), and Director of the Autism Media Channel.

Wakefield and his supporters continue to give talks about their anti-vaccine views and show the film, which has been widely criticised by experts in the field. A review by Ed Cara in Medical Daily said: “Vaxxed doesn’t care about convincing its audience with evidence.

“Instead, Wakefield, Hooker, and producer Del Bigtree run the viewer through a well-trod gauntlet of emotional pleas, context-free statistics and shadowy conspiracies, with Bigtree claiming that ‘all of television’ has been bought out by the pharmaceutical industry.

So are you really that paranoid Bill Gates is culling the world. !0 billion for world vaccine programs agenda 21, This is a nut house.

And I ask again Jennifer why you Quote from RT Russia Today 100% Kremlin Govt funded so called News Service propaganda Machine,

Wild you would quote from that source!
Are you not embarrassed to quote from RT? Any one reading google RT RUSSIA TODAY Read who and what they are about. Should be no surprise Her quoting RT.
jennifer has posted link of AOC Creep shots and others to RT Interesting! RT WOW

Posting RUSSIA TODAY AS SOURCE more than one time. WTF?
If you are not just bamboozled I dont know what to think - RT RUSSIA TODAY ???????

need the place and time RT Link you posted?

I have an herbal-acupuncture-functional medicine teacher who is also a homeopath and he claims that his homeopathic vaccines work to create antibodies in people, as his clients took them and were able to travel to African countries without getting traditionally vaccinated. One day, I have to return to his class and ask for the blood tests to see what he is talking about. If he is correct, there are different ways to introduce vaccines. if he is correct, then Bill and Melinda could buy pure vaccinations without any additives for their loved ones. and it may be possible to take them orally. of course I need to really see evidence to see if this is true. My friend who is a pediatrician says that now some vaccines are offered without thimerosal due to the public uproar. so from what she tells me, there are vaccines with thimerosol and the same vaccine offered without thimerosal.

the cdc talks about thimerosal
[www.cdc.gov]

so if it is possible to create vaccines without a toxic dose of aluminum and mercury and formaldehyde and toxic preservatives, if it is possible to build specific antibodies without injecting these heinous toxins, then the public is being deliberately poisoned.

From all that I've read so far, it seems the MMR vaccine is the main cause of autism; it's three live vaccines in one, and Dr. Wakefield or some others have said that if they just gave them separately over a period of time, there wouldn't be so much damage/reactions. And especially it's the live Rubella Vaccine, I read a couple times.

There are many links in this article that I can't provide all of them, but just go to the article itself for all the sources of the information.

Vaccination Causes Autism – Say US Government & Merck’s Director of Vaccines

[childhealthsafety.wordpress.com]

Here we set out four ways autistic conditions are caused and confirmed by statements from the current President of pharmaceutical giant Merck’s Vaccines Division, by US Government agencies, by the US Federal Court and in formally published academic journal papers.

If you read nothing else we strongly recommend you read this PDF Download – Text of May 5th 2008 email from US HRSA to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News]. In it the US Health Resources Services Administration [HRSA] state to CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson:

[childhealthsafety.files.wordpress.com]

We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.” [Text added 10 April 2011]

The first known cause of autism was rubella virus. So not only is New Scientist an unreliable source of information, this cause of autism has been known since the 1960s. And rubella virus is one of the three live viruses in the MMR vaccine.

… rubella (congenital rubella syndrome) is one of the few proven causes of autism.” Walter A. Orenstein, M.D. US as Assistant Surgeon General, Director National Immunization Program in a letter to the UK’s Chief Medical Officer 15 February 2002.

rubella virus is one of the few known causes of autism.” US Center for Disease Control.

“FAQs (frequently asked questions) about MMR Vaccine & Autism” [ED 8/Apr/12: This is the web archive of the CDC page – you will need to search in or scroll down the page to see the text. As papers cited on the original page by the CDC as evidence for no link with the vaccine have been steadily discredited it seems the CDC has decided to remove the page and it seems someone has been deleting the archived versions of the page from the web archive too].

"rubella can cause autism“ The Pediatrician’s Role in the Diagnosis and Management of Autistic Spectrum Disorder in Children – PEDIATRICS Vol. 107 No. 5 May 2001

Journal references:

Ziring PR. Congenital rubella: the teenage years. Pediatr Ann. 1997;6: 762–770

People who are pre-disposed to have a mitochondrial dysfunction can develop autistic conditions following vaccination. The current President of Merck’s Vaccines Division, Julie Gerberding confirmed to CBS News when she was Director of the US Centres for Disease Control that:

Now, we all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids. So if a child was immunized, got a fever, had other complications from the vaccines. And if you’re predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism.“

Video here:

[youtu.be]

Mitochondrial dysfunction is claimed to be “rare” but is not. It can apply to a minimum of 20% of cases.

And this was said when Gerberding was then head of the US Centres for Disease Control – budget US$11 billion. It followed from award winning author and journalist David Kirby breaking the story of the Hannah Poling case, secretly settled by the US Government. It was after this story broke that it started to be acknowledged that autism has an “environmental” cause and is not solely an “internal” condition [ie not determined solely by genetics]: AUTISM – US Court Decisions and Other Recent Developments – It’s Not Just MMR

Gerberding went from the US agency charged with promoting vaccines [CDC] directly to become vaccine maker Merck’s Director of Vaccines Division: Dr. Julie Gerberding Named President of Merck Vaccines – 21 Dec 2009 – Merck & Co., Inc.

Autistic conditions can result from encephalopathy following vaccination. The US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) confirmed to CBS News that of 1322 cases of vaccine injury compensation settled out of court by the US Government in secret settlements:-

We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.” [PDF Download – Text of email from US HRSA to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News]

Vaccine Case: An Exception Or A Precedent? – First Family To Have Autism-Related Case “Conceded” Is Just One Of Thousands – CBS News By Sharyl Attkisson WASHINGTON, March 6, 2008

Measles and mumps are two of the three live viruses in the MMR vaccine. Exposure to live measles or mumps viruses can cause encephalitis:-

measles and mumps can cause significant disability, including encephalitis“

The Pediatrician’s Role in the Diagnosis and Management of Autistic Spectrum Disorder in Children – PEDIATRICS Vol. 107 No. 5 May 2001

So there is direct evidence that live measles, mumps or rubella viruses separately can cause encephalitis leading to autism.

More troubling is that this has been known for a long time. So the risks of giving very young children a vaccine containing three live viruses all at once were known. These two World Health Organisation papers published nearly 40 years ago set out the hazards:

Virus-associated immunopathology : animal models and implications for human disease”:

1. Effects of viruses on the immune system, immune-complex diseases, and antibody-mediated immunologic injury Bulletin of The World Health Organisation. 1972; 47(2): 257-264.

2. Cell-mediated immunity, autoimmune diseases, genetics, and implications for clinical research Bulletin of the World Health Organisation. 1972; 47(2): 265-274.

Autistic conditions can result from acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) following MMR vaccination as held by the US Federal Court in the case of Bailey Banks. In his conclusion, US Federal Court Special Master Abell ruled that Petitioners had proven that the MMR had directly caused a brain inflammation illness called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) which, in turn, had caused the autism spectrum disorder PDD-NOS in the child:

The Court found that Bailey’s ADEM was both caused-in-fact and proximately caused by his vaccination. It is well-understood that the vaccination at issue can cause ADEM, and the Court found, based upon a full reading and hearing of the pertinent facts in this case, that it did actually cause the ADEM. Furthermore, Bailey’s ADEM was severe enough to cause lasting, residual damage, and retarded his developmental progress, which fits under the generalized heading of Pervasive Developmental Delay, or PDD [an autism spectrum disorder]. The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for the administration of the MMR vaccine, and that this chain of causation was… a proximate sequence of cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to Pervasive Developmental Delay.

[Banks v. HHS (Case 02-0738V, 2007 U.S. Claims LEXIS 254, July 20, 2007)].

And what does not cause autism?
Autism is not “caused” by “genes”

Dr Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. the 16th and current Director of the US$30.5 billion budget National Institutes of Health [nominated by President Obama: NIH News Release 17th August 2009 ] stated in evidence to US House of Representatives Committee May 2006 when Director of the US National Human Genome Research Institute:

“Recent increases in chronic diseases like diabetes, childhood asthma, obesity or autism cannot be due to major shifts in the human gene pool as those changes take much more time to occur. They must be due to changes in the environment, including diet and physical activity, which may produce disease in genetically predisposed persons.“

Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. evidence to US House of Representatives Committee May 2006

Collins controls the US $30.5 billion annual medical research budget and is a leading medical doctor and geneticist who led the Human Genome Project.

Autistic conditions affect 1 in 100 US children. They affect 1 in 64 British children [1 in 40 are boys] according to a Cambridge University study.

Stop calling him Doctor

Wakefield is barred from practising as a physician in the UK, and is not licensed in the US. 20019

I will read your links another time Jennifer. Busy now but I am interested in them.

What really helped me to understand was listening to the testimonies on vaxxed youtube. The doctors and medical professionals risked their jobs to talk about their patients and how they could no longer ignore the side effects from their own patients. And also the poor medical professionals who got sick from getting so many vaccines, which is required in hospitals. One nursing student was almost bed-bound in getting all the vaccines required to finish nursing school. This is a very tough price to pay to work in hospitals. Whatever extra money they get, their health will suffer later. So i encourage you RHB to listen to those testimonies from doctors and nurses and other medical professionals.

[www.youtube.com]

[www.youtube.com]

Thanks for those links to the videos, Tai. I watched some of them. I couldn't bear to watch this one because it made me cry.

We Lost Her

[www.youtube.com]

I was going to post a video a while ago about some other parent who's child was messed up from the vaccine, but after watching some of it, I couldn't continue with it. How can Vaxxers watch these videos and not 'get it' that vaccines are ruining babies, children, parents' lives. The heartache.

How can anybody watch videos and read stories from the parents about the children they lost or the children who became messed up from vaccines and not cry and still 'believe in' vaccinating babies and children. Do they not believe the stories about what happened to all those children or do they think it's just a co-incidence and the parents are mistaken that it was related to the vaccine or do they think even though some kids' lives are ruined or end up dying, it's okay because it's 'for the greater good'. Think of the parents who have to live with themselves with the knowledge that they ruined their child's life.

It's a travesty. And to think The Militant Vaxxers want to force all children, and then maybe adults or old people, to be vaccinated. It blows your mind.

"My daughter was fine and then 100% autistic within 40 hours of her vaccine (DpT). Complete and violent loss of all skills and all connection to people. Vaccines cause Autism.?"

Anti-Vaxxers are about evenly divided between Liberals and Conservatives.

But it seems that the 'extreme' right and 'extreme' left are against mandatory vaccinations - the Conservatives and Liberals. I guess that's because we have strong convictions whereas 'the middle' are wishy-washy.

Anti-vaccine movement embraced at extremes of political spectrum, study finds

People at extreme ends of the political spectrum are most warmly embracing the anti-vaccination movement in the United States, with certain very liberal cities and very conservative rural communities reporting the nation’s highest rates of nonmedical exemptions (NMEs), according to a new study.

The findings parallel two recent Pew studies, which found that those who are most liberal and most conservative tend to believe vaccines are unsafe. But only those who are very conservative are more likely to believe that vaccination should be a parent’s choice.

According to the new study, very high numbers of NMEs were reported in “progressive” cities like Seattle, Wash.; Austin, Texas; and Portland, Ore., as well as extremely conservative Republican strongholds, such as Arizona, Idaho and Utah. High rates of NMEs were also found in Spokane, Wash.; Phoenix; Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah; and the conservative Texas cities of Houston, Fort Worth and Plano. In Michigan, the cities of Troy, Warren and Detroit also stood out for their high exemption rates, as did Kansas City, Missouri; Pittsburgh, Penn., and smaller counties in Wisconsin.

But more Conservatives oppose 'Mandatory' vaccinations, the State forcing vaccinations on us -

Poll shows emerging ideological divide over childhood vaccinations

[thehill.com]

A majority of Americans favor mandatory childhood vaccinations but new polling suggests an ideological divide is emerging with large numbers of self-described conservatives beginning to oppose them.

While some prominent Democrats, such as Robert Kennedy Jr., have promoted unscientific claims that vaccines damage children, Republican elected officials have been more likely to be skeptical. Those concerns seem to be filtering down to GOP voters, according to a new Hill-HarrisX poll.

The survey, which was conducted March 9 and 10, found that 61 percent of registered voters support a federal childhood immunization mandate. Only 39 percent were opposed.

About the same percentage of various age groups favored immunization requirements, while voters with college degrees were 6 points more likely to favor them. Many school districts across the country require parents to submit written proof that their children have been vaccinated, although the particular immunizations vary by jurisdiction.

In the survey data, there were some differences between respondents from different regions of the country but the greatest division observed was ideological, with self-described liberals being 16 percentage points more likely to support vaccine mandates than respondents who called themselves conservative.

Seventy percent of liberal voters said they favor an immunization requirement compared to 54 percent of conservatives. Sixty-one percent of self-described moderates approved of mandatory vaccinations.

Broken down by party affiliation, similar trends were apparent, 54 percent of Republicans favored vaccine requirements, along with 59 percent of independents and 68 percent of Democrats.

President Trump is among several prominent GOP elected officials who have raised unfounded questions about vaccines possibly causing autism. Concerns about vaccines have also been a popular topic in far-right media, including the program of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

In 2012, he Trump warned Fox News viewers in an interview that he had become "pretty familiar with the subject" and that he "strongly believed" that vaccines caused autism.

The future president returned to the subject in a 2014 Twitter post. "I am being proven right about massive vaccinations—the doctors lied. Save our children & their future," he wrote.

After being elected, Trump and members of his official transition team met repeatedly with Kennedy to discuss setting up a "vaccine safety commission" to explore accusations that childhood immunizations are linked to autism.

Other public polls have shown higher skepticism toward vaccines among more conservative Americans. In 2016, the Pew Research Center found that self-described conservatives were 16 percentage points more likely to favor giving parents the ability to determine whether their children receive immunization care.

Opposition to mandatory childhood vaccinations "does appear to be correlated with what I'd call libertarian or anti-authority tendencies and sentiment," Julia Clarke, a pollster with the Ipsos polling company told Reuters about similar findings in a 2015 survey.

I watched some of them. I couldn't bear to watch this one because it made me cry.

That was a good video. That was a mild story compared to other stories on that channel. If you keep watching, you will get over it. really it becomes a happy ending because the mom is using her child's death to educate the masses. She married a naturopath after her daughter died and now she's armed with knowledge, plus she has 2 other healthy unvaccinated children.
