Infectious Disease News Alerts have dropped into my inbox now, for nearly a decade.  This organisation is run by a company called "SLACK Incorporated, and "strives to be the global, definitive information source for ID professionals by delivering timely, accurate, authoritative and balanced reports on clinical issues, socioeconomic topics and industry developments, as well as presenting clinically relevant information on medical therapies for the benefit of the patient."  Of course, that's followed by the usual disclaimer saying words to the effect of "believe us at your peril".

Recently a blog commented that a doctor has tested Sweden's Swine Flu vaccine:

After having been injected with Pandemrix as part of the swine flu mass vaccination in 2009, the patient, her husband and their three children all developed intense pain at the site of injection.

There has been some confusion caused by Helen Petousis-Harris's seeming misunderstanding of my comments on Radio Rhema last night.

Yes, I believe that vaccines can cause autism. 

Read Vaccines and Neonatal Immune Development,

then How a baby fights infection and develops the immune system,

then Can vaccines become cranial and immunological cluster bombs. 

There is absolutely no doubt that children with autism not only have deranged inate immune systems, but they also have cognitive disorder, and crohns.  There is no doubt that aluminium adjuvants make the brain produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, and there is also no doubt that the use of aluminium adjuvant causes excessive amounts of host DNA to be released which in some children could result in autoimmunity.  There is no doubt at all in my mind, that repeated vaccination results in autoimmunity.

It is not possible to cover material comprehensively on the radio, and Helen appeared to state that I was saying that vaccines don't cause autism, but that maternal genes do.

I was not saying that at all. 

I had started discussing the fact that mothers with mitochondrial dysfunction relating to MTHFR mutation, will have children, who after vaccination are MORE LIKELY to come down with regressive autism after vaccination, because they are more susceptible to immune system cascade failure. It's classic "epigenetics". 

And given that nutrition can have epigenetic effects, and switch on, and off genes, and make them work incorrectly, as Dr Terry Wahls discovered, when she brought herself back "to life" instead of dying from progressive multiple sclerosis, good nutrition is hugely important, which (in my opinion) is why more and more children are susceptible to damage, not just from vaccines, but from environmental toxins, and drugs etc. 

Did the vaccinations trigger it, or did the mutation?  I believe that the vaccines triggered it, because many of those same parents, who have had subsequent children with the mutation, and who have decided NOT to vaccinate, have had subsequent children free of any ASD disorders. Continue Reading

For those following anything to do with Autism, the following write-up on Vaccination News is worth a careful read.

Gardasil radio advertisements have started with a vengeance, because the MOH is not happy with the low uptake of Gardasil in New Zealand, so have mounted an all out propaganda campaign in an attempt to persuade young girls to say, "Yes" to Gardasil. 

These adverts feature a young woman introducing herself as Portia and telling us all, of the wonderful benefits of this new vaccine out there, called Gardasil.  Blah Blah Blah....

Apart from the irony of expecting girls to say yes, on the basis of a promo by a girl who gives zero meaningful information, perhaps the pressuretainment strategists should have thought about the name "Portia".  Perhaps they think it sounds elegant, upper class, somewhat snobby and ever so brainy?

The name "Portia" struck me as funny on many levels.  A portia, is a jumping spider which happens to get it's kicks out of cannibalising other spiders, and usually manages to demolish mating males before the deed is done. See image number 7.  There are lots of different types of portia, many very colourful - and massively alluring. 

A neat version on the "other one", which is, "come into my parlour, said the spider to the fly..."  "Hairy Legs" would indeed be proud.... Continue Reading
