No, shame on you for your scare mongering.
If the other kids have their vaccinations then why would they die?
Surely the only people at risk are those that are not immunised?

Autism and related disorders affect an estimated 1 in 88 children. According to the CDC, more children today are diagnosed with autism than ever before. Experts aren't sure if autism is getting more common or if doctors are just better at diagnosing the disorders.
Vaccines
The only currently available vaccine as of 2011 is bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) which, while it is effective against disseminated disease in childhood, confers inconsistent protection against contracting pulmonary TB.[67] Nevertheless, it is the most widely used vaccine worldwide, with more than 90% of all children being vaccinated.[7] However, the immunity it induces decreases after about ten years.[7] As tuberculosis is uncommon in most of Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, BCG is only administered to people at high risk.
One third of the world's population is thought to have been infected with M. tuberculosis,[3] with new infections occurring in about 1% of the population each year.[4] In 2007, there were an estimated 13.7 million chronic active cases globally,[5] while in 2010, there were an estimated 8.8 million new cases and 1.5 million associated deaths, mostly occurring in developing countries.
The Idiots Act 1886 (49 Vict.c.25) was an act of Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was intended to give "... facilities for the care, education, and training of Idiots and Imbeciles".[1]
The Act made, for the first time, the distinction between "lunatics"[n 1], "idiots", and "imbeciles" for the purpose of making entry into education establishments easier and for defining the ways they were cared for.
Before the Act, learning institutions for idiots and imbeciles were seen as either "licensed houses" or "registered hospitals" for lunatics, for which the parents of children hoping to enter would have to complete a form stating that they were "a lunatic, an idiot, or a person of unsound mind". Additionally, they were required to answer irrelevant questions and present two medical certificates.[2]
The Act was repealed by the Mental Deficiency Act 1913, by which time two further classifications had been introduced: "feeble-minded people" and "moral defectives".[3]

I'm sorry to hear, I was listening to the same story today from the grandma of a child who regressed into Autism after an MMR booster shot age 4

Weird, I got all my booster shots and ate a pizza. Must mean vaccines give you the munchies.

Perhaps we could consider what vaccines actually are... they are supposed to be the actual virus that you're vaccinating against... that's dead.
Now as I've said pages ago before everyone started the hating... ITs not the vaccination that's the problem... its the additives which they use...
My question is.. WHY are they putting extra garbage into the vaccines IF that is the problem to begin with?
Thimerosal is a preservative that is used in the manufacturing process of some vaccines and other medicines to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi, which could otherwise cause illness or injury.
It metabolizes into ethylmercury, not methylmercury, a mistake commonly made by anti-vaxers who claim that the amount of mercury that used to be in vaccine exceeded EPA exposure guidelines of .1mcg/kg/day.
Those guidelines are for methylmercury, a compound that has a half-life in the body of several weeks to months and is often found in fish or other environmental exposures.
Ethylmercury, on the other hand, has a half-life of a few days to about a week, meaning that it is not in the body long enough for it to build up to toxic levels from vaccination to vaccination.
Vaccines contain formaldehyde. It is used during the manufacturing process, but is diluted to remove it from the finished product, leaving only small or trace amounts. The total amount of formaldehyde in a finished product is far less than what is naturally found in the human body. For example, at any given time, an average newborn would have about 575-862μg of formaldehyde circulating in their blood naturally.
Some anti-vaxers claim that squalene, a vaccine adjuvant is toxic and caused Gulf War Illness (GWI) in soldiers that received the anthrax vaccine, supposedly contaminated with squalene. However, a comprehensive review of GWI by the Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans’ Illnesses observed that not only did the vaccine not cause GWI, but that the lots implicated did not contain any squalene as an adjuvant (instead, the anthrax vaccine used aluminum hydroxide). Like other claims, the anti-vaxers have no quality studies to support their contention that squalene causes severe adverse reactions.
According to the same GWI review, squalene is “an oily substance that naturally occurs in plants and animals. It is found in a variety of foods, lotions, and cosmetics. It is also used as a food supplement and has been postulated to provide therapeutic benefits. In humans, squalene is synthesized by the liver as a precursor to cholesterol, and circulates in the blood.”
Squalene appears to be an effective and safe adjuvant, based on a PubMed search revealing several studies examining its use in vaccines.
It should also be noted that squalene is offered in pill form by a variety of organic and natural food stores, as well as makers of dietary supplements. Squalene is also promoted as a moisturizer.
Some anti-vaxers claim there is antifreeze in vaccines. This is false. Antifreeze is ethylene glycol. Vaccines use polyethylene glycol. These are different substances, the latter of which is not toxic. More info can be found at Inside Vaccines.

It's sad to hear about such travesty, but at the same time I am glad that it is being acknowledged enough to be read about. Maybe soon enough the standards that we would put in place for ourselves will be mimicked by the corporations that should attempt to sell to us.
That, or everyone could quit paying money for things that aren't demonstrated as safe. By "demonstrated as safe" I mean actually demonstrated as safe. Not the level of safety that has been passed off as acceptable here and abroad within the last 60 years.

It's all just marketing and propaganda, these people are not to be trusted, they care only about making more money, they make more money when they make us sick
I wonder if Mercola really believes his own anti-science propaganda, or if he knows it is bogus and just doesn’t care.
Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, what Mercola does really well is to promote his own products. A 2006 Business Week article pointed out that Mercola “is a master promoter, using every trick of traditional and Internet direct marketing to grow his business,” and comparing him to “the old-time snake oil salesmen of the 1800s.” That’s exactly what he is, but he uses the modern tools of internet advertising to turn his particular brand of snake oil into a very successful business.
He sells hundreds of “natural” products and makes countless claims for them, most of which are either unproven, medically vague, or irrelevant. He still sells the very same products that the FDA warned him about: he merely changed the way he advertises them. The FDA doesn’t really have any power to regulate supplements – all it can do is prevent specific claims about curing disease. Clever snake-oil salesmen like Mercola can easily circumvent the FDA with a few simple edits to their websites.
For example, Mercola was warned about a product called Chorella in both the 2005 FDA warning letter and the 2006 warning letter, but he’s still selling Chorella on his site. He claims that it will “boost your immune system”, “purify your blood and clean away toxins,” promote tissue repair, and countless other unsupported claims.
Vaccines are the main driving force behind the pharmaceutical industry, without the autoimmune diseases and allergies which vaccines start up, there would be far fewer sick people requiring long term Pharmaceutical drugs. This is why they will not allow people to go near this one, this is why they intimidate, smear and destroy any honest scientist who examines vaccine safety, this is why pharmaceutical sockpuppets rapidly appear whenever you post about vaccines anywhere on the Internet. The complications caused by vaccines are not accidents, they were there by design, they are the real reason for the injections. If vaccines were clean and safe the pharmaceuticals would have little incentive to continue pushing them.
In 1988, the World Health Assembly unanimously agreed to eradicate polio worldwide. As a result of global polio eradication efforts, the number of cases reported globally has decreased from more than 350,000 cases in 1988 to 187 cases in 2012 (as of November 14, 2012). Only three countries remain endemic for polio in 2012: Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. Stopping vaccination before eradication is achieved would result in a resurgence of this preventable disease and threaten future generations of children.
Before measles immunization was available, nearly everyone in the U.S. got measles. An average of 450 measles-associated deaths were reported each year between 1953 and 1963.
In the U.S., up to 20 percent of persons with measles are hospitalized.

Would you believe information from an independent source describing what goes into vaccines and why?
Here's just one example: The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia - Vaccine Education Center

Believe it or not, people (and independent organizations - not just "Big Pharma") actually research these things. Random, harmful ingredients aren't just thrown into vaccine mixes for no reason, nor are these "toxins" present in massive quantities. Vaccines are far from perfect but researchers from around the world continue to work on creating safer, more effective ones. I understand the distrust of "Big Pharma" and of government agencies, I really do, but I think some people fail to realize the sheer number of humans involved in one way or another in the creation, testing, and administration of vaccines. Do you think they're all stupid, or they're all "in on it" and don't care that they're harming people?
boncho
If this were true, we would see far less disease in places that had no vaccines, but that isn't the case. Also, I remember measles as a kid and it was pretty common, but now I can't think of one kid out of all my friends children that has gotten it.
boncho

boncho
Strange, if 20% of people with measles are hospitalized, wouldn't that mean big profits for the hospital stays? Or this is just disinfo cause it doesn't fit into your tinfoil?
Rubinstein
I'm not sure if you're serious here opopanax, you do realize that the so-called independent source you linked to, the 'Vaccine Education Center' has the biggest vaccine shill as it's director i.e. Paul Offit (nicknamed Paul Profit) en.wikipedia.org... This man has made over $20 million from his vaccine patent.
Paul Profit has a huge conflict of interest so does not count as an independent source, on the contrary he's completely biased and a known liar. If he was ever held accountable for his crimes he's spend the rest of his life in jail.

There is almost no money to be made in warning about vaccine dangers, if anything you lose money as it takes up your free time. Those who spread the message about vaccine dangers are altruists. As for Mercola he is an honest man, he needs money to fund his website, but he's regularly proven to be right. I would trust Mercola over the pharmceuticals any day.
Quite the opposite of the $Trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry which can lobby politicians, change laws and pull strings in the media. Even people who post pharma propaganda and marketing on the Internet (similar to your posts) get paid over $50,000 per year. I was told that by a chap who recruits such posters.edit on 21-11-2013 by Rubinstein because: (no reason given)
