Did I miss something? Child has existing (albeit unknown) medical issue that’s aggravated by common vaccine series….

The current BS has been that the injections cannot possibly have an effect, whereas under the radar, much evidence is building that ganging injections is making children ill ... perhaps for the long term.

I see a possible fragility here for children with genetic predisposition to diabetes ...

I’m pretty unaware of vaccinations as we don’t have kids, so I can’t speak to anything regarding their presumed safety/risk.

Even with this case, I still don’t see what happened that so explosive (not a dismissal, btw…i’m really missing this one…) It reads like a normal kid until ten days after vaccination. I completely understand the implication, but my Correlation/Causation meter is beeping. Three years later, “.. Dr. Schoffner diagnosed CHILD with oxidative phosphorylation disease. Id. at 3. In February 2004, a mitochondrial DNA (“mtDNA”) point mutation analysis revealed a single nucleotide change in the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (T2387C).”

A lot could be read into this: Dr’s of various disciplines saw what they were trained to see and missed the root cause (a vaccine bundle). Did an unknown genetic anomaly coincidentally express itself at the same time as the vaccine? Is this case reflective of a trend line? Was the vaccine contaminated?

None of this is to be taken as a dismissal of your anger, or a challenge to your perception. I’m just not sure what I’m reading here.

I have a 5-year old nephew who is autistic. His behaviors prior to a combo vaccine shot at the age of 2 were of a normal, healthy 2-year old. Immediately after the shot he became withdrawn and was eventually diagnosed as autistic. This alone is enough to make me leery of the combo vaccines.

My wife and I have also forced our pediatrician to break the vaccines up for out 5-month old, one or two each month but no more. Boy, was he pissed because it meant more work for his office, scheduling appointments and costs more because the individual vaccines cost more collectively than the combo vaccines.

When it comes to the health of your child, do *not* take any chances. Do not trust that your pediatrician knows what he’s talking about regarding combo vaccines. Use your best judgment and if your pediatrician refuses to administer individual vaccines over a span of several months, then simply find another who will.

Current medical practice seems to like to prescribe treatments, injections, therapies for children as if they are ‘small adults’ ... a % of adult dose.  Children’s bodies respond in ways different than mere adult proportion. Did you know 3/4 of prescription drugs have no pediatric use information?  Look up the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act. The main problem is dosing; in the absence of clinical trial and/or scholarly treatises, many sources point to a significant issue: pediatricians wing it.  Always find out if a drug is off-label for that particular use in children, understand the side effect profile, and research, research, research to find out if there is a recommended dosage that is proven safe.

Cam, I’m so glad to hear you and your wife chose to break out those vaccines. I would never take the chance, either, having read the things I’ve encountered over the years.
