Another point of correction: MMR has never and will never contain thimerosal. It can’t. Thimerosal would kill the weakened viruses in it.

Also, the CDC didn’t concede liability, it was the HHS.

Also, what Kristina said.

@Regina Sarno,

More precisely, the government conceded that Hannah Poling’s underlying mitochondrial disorder/dysfunction was aggravated by vaccines, and that this led to symptoms of autism.

I have a son who had a BAD reaction an MMR shot in 1995, this is when thimerosol was in this shot, my son now has PDD. Just argue with a person in my shoes. I also almost lost him in this process, due to someone NOT watching a stupid thimerosol preservative in shots, thimerosol is MERCURY, in case people do not know, it affects some and does not affect others. Unfortunately my child was affected. I am happy that John Mc Cain is bringing this up and I will vote for him on this fact alone, period.

As a parent who also has a child that just litterally days after her shots at 18 months old did not talk until her little sister 6 years later tried to develope words. She is 14 now with lots of challanges. When we talked to her pediatrician and asked about the therimisol link possibility, I was asked to speak to him behind closed doors:”This conversation ends now! I do not want my medical practice took away!” For all those who do not have children or do with no “challanged children” and side with the propaganda…What IF your child suddenly changed and has multiple behaviors that just prior to the shots had no problems…It is like anyone can talk until they walk in the shoes of others. Oregon is the highest in the U.S. cesus with Autism- less than1/100 IF your were a betting parent would you take the chance with those odds for your child to get those shots?. The CDC states 1/66 chance if born twin boys. In Oregon the stats are if you start in kindergarden, by senior year you will have graduated with at least one student who is Autistic. There are many who BASH BUSH but the facts are that when the home security act went before congress at the last minute the Liberal Party and Democratic Party joined adding PORK stating if anyone who found this link to be proven true could not sue the pharmacudical goverment. As you know the bill passed. President Bush being unable to change in time put a tag on it after so many years it could be opened for investigation. Answer me that! I would hope anyone who chooses to say that any parent who has a childs life and that families life changed forever due to shot/link is just imagining things would have the BOLDNESS OR EMAIL me with their address. 139 s.w. berry ln roseburg oregon 97470.
