Book Reviews of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM) Children's Vaccinations
Book Review: Warning, this book WON'T scare you
Summary: 5 Stars
Some reviewers claim that this book is devoted to scaring the reader. It doesn't. I gather this failure is what merits a one star rating and a cautionary review by these people.
We had some concerns about vaccinations already and hence purchased the book, "go figure". The author addressed these concerns and offered solutions. I like solutions so gave the book 5 stars. I wasn't an expert before reading the book nor am I one now. Nonetheless, before our doctor goes for the needle I'll have some questions for him and some preferences to discuss. None of this will vex him unduly I'm sure.
I've read proclamations that insist that thimerosal in vaccines is harmless and that according to "consensus" the matter is settled. I've also read the following from the CDC web page:
Thimerosal and Autism
In response to public concerns, VSD researchers have begun a case-control study to examine the association between thimerosal and autism rigorously. The study aims to determine whether exposure to thimerosal in infancy or in utero is related to development of autism. The study will also evaluate whether exposure to thimerosal in infancy is related to development of the subclass of autism predominantly associated with regression. As part of the study, researchers will use automated data and registries to identify children with autism (cases) and without autism (controls). In-person examinations, telephone interviews, medical chart reviews, and immunization tracking systems will be used to collect information on vaccine history and other covariates. Recommended by the Institute of Medicine, this VSD study will be the first rigorous, epidemiological study conducted on the issue of thimerosal and autism. Data from this VSD study should provide the best available scientific information on whether a causal association between exposure to thimerosal and the development of autism is possible.
This study is in the data collection phase.
Again, I'm no expert but this doesn't look like the summation of a settled matter to me.
