MMR - Autism article Retracted by Lancet

Blobbi:

Sorry to hear about this, 2ppaamm.


What's very good to know is the MMR jabs these days mercury free. The ones given in school these days are too. Find out how you can avoid getting mercury into your kids' system and go private if it helps (private clinics may have non-mercury versions of vaccines). It's worth it.

Thanks Blobbi, but a bit too late now. However, I will remember the next time someone needs to do the MMR.

Also, anyone knows why there's no more BCG? The 'boy-chase-girl' we used to talk about and had to take at P6? Did some researchers now say we don't need it? Aiyo! Then I had this lump on my arm for what har? That scar reminds me constantly that I am but a human specimen. So humbling.

One more thing. Read carefully. It said they retracted the findings because they were done in an unethical way (what's new), but not that the findings are not true.


Why do you think this finding MUST be wrong? It cannot stand, even if it is true. Read carefully. If the proponents have a choice, it would not to attack the WAY he did his research, but that his research findings are WRONG. When they cannot prove the latter, let's try the former.

This kind of political game hor... we are very familiar, right? Cannot win on points and facts, win on creating personal problem for the opponent lor... makes you wonder why people have to resort to this, right? And makes me believe that 'unethical' guy more. Human nature... always side the underdogs.

Here's fun reading:

i just checked the MOH website. Only one shot of BCG at birth, this is to protect against TB.


and yes, no mention of BCG at P6. maybe the BCG vaccine has improved? heng, i didn’t develope the lump after i my BCG injection.

Tks!

On a different note, my son's issues seem to have deteriorated since school started. And it's only been 3.5mths! Have been researching on causality. Think he's got some sensitivities/allergies. He's always had all these benign rashes, but I think they're affecting his behaviour now :(. Maybe it's the buildup over the years.

I'm almost hopeful that it's food issues, because this way I can do something about it.

Agree with you Blobbi. We specifically requested for a mercury free wan.

We waited until he was a mth b4 2 yrs. Even the PD indirectly encouraged us to, not only for this, but for all the other jabs.

BCG also waited for 2 or 3 days. Interesting how the nurses kept coming into my ward room to ask when when when....

If I do end up having another child, I will wait slightly longer.

P6 BCG has already been made redundant. Can't remember which one, but it was shown that it was not effective at that age and therefore our children didn't have to take it anymore.

Medicine IS an experiment. An ongoing one.

I the blue mother went to do everything on time. Now I know better. Delay, delay, delay.

can someone tell me where to go for mercury free shots? We stopped all DS2’s vaccination after he reacted strangely post his 6-in-1. Within one week he went from a very active baby to listless and limp. He fell off my arm on the sixth day, I caught him but I was taken aback that he had absolutely no reaction to the near-fall - he just stared at me blankly. After one more week he was back to his old self but the incident freaked me out and both dh and I agreed not to continue with his vaccinations regardless of the controversies. But starting to get all the government’s letters for not completing his vaccination schedule. Can someone btdt tell me how I should proceed with this? Thanks!
