VaXxed Becomes a Cautionary Tale Of Vaccine Injury for All Americans to Hear
By Anne Dachel
“Vaxxed”
is being shown in theaters across the U.S. and in Canada. It will soon go
international. Thousands and thousands of ordinary people are learning about the
complete lack of safety standards and the corrupt practices at our Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Countless parents of vaccine injured children
who have suffered in silence now have a film that proves what happened in their
family is real.
“Vaxxed” producer Polly Tommey has been conducting interviews at these
screenings. She herself is the mother of a 20 year old son with severe autism. I
asked her how meeting all these parents of vaccine injured children has affected
her.
From Calgary Canada, here was her response.
“I started traveling with Andy and Del on the 1st of April and we’ve been pretty
much going full blast till now. …For the nineteen years that I’ve been doing
this with the [Autism File] magazine, talking about my son’s injury, attending
conferences, talking to other parents around the world, forming the [Autism]
Media Channel with Andy Wakefield, filming families—NOTHING, NOTHING has
prepared me for the American people out there with the extent of vaccine
injury.
“I had no idea about the military. The military situation in America is a
disaster. It is inhumane. It is horrific, barbaric. There are no other words for
what is going on in the military. We’re seeing damage, after damage, after
damage. Young, beautiful kids want to fight for America, unable to get out,
being used as human pin cushions. Horrific stories coming from there.
“The amount of dead babies… We’re speaking to parents, they tell us, mainly from
DTaP, that they were told by the doctor, if they didn’t get the DTaP, then they
were the worst parents in the world, and their children would die—And these
children did die, from the DTaP. And the parents have no voice because their
child died. There’s no society for them to have a voice. Children that have died
later on, adults that have died, flu vaccine, horrific stories coming in from
the Gardasil, and babies that that have died because they were given far too
many flu vaccines at a young age.
“It is non-stop. And every single story—every single story has the same thing: A
pediatrician, a doctor, or a nurse had bullied them into having these vaccines.
None of these people are anti-vaccine, just like I wasn’t. I was pro-vaccine…
“There [are] no words to explain what has happened to the American people with
the vaccine injuries. So I will keep touring for as long as I can, and filming
every single family that I can, and bring to you what is going on in America
with the devastation of vaccine injury. It’s real. It’s real.”
PARENTS AT “VAXXED”

Mother:
“I had a beautiful baby boy… He was very healthy. He started rolling over at a
very young age. He was very advanced, saying ‘mama’ at six months old…
“And then about his 15 month vaccinations, he had seven shots. We went home.
That night he started screaming …and I couldn’t get him to stop. …I called his
pediatrician, and she said, ‘Oh, it’s normal. It’s just a vaccine reaction. He’s
going to be fine.’
“But he screamed all through the night. He had explosive diarrhea…. And the next
morning, he was really limp and not responding well to me like he normally had.
…
“We took him down to the emergency room. They said, ‘Oh, it’s just a vaccine
reaction; he’ll be fine.’ At first they didn’t want to agree with that, but his
pediatrician had already said that that was what they thought it was.
“And he kept losing all his skills, and by the time that he hit two, he had no
words, he kept falling all the time. He’d spend up to six hours a day screaming
and rocking back and forth. He didn’t acknowledge me or his dad anymore.
“And now he’s nine and we use…Generation Rescue, and he’s gotten a lot better.
But he still can’t go to school. He can’t talk. He doesn’t know who anybody is.
…
“I hope that parents really start researching vaccination and what it can do to
their baby. Because it’s not how it can affect me that I’m so upset, but that it
stole his life, it stole his future, it stole my beautiful child. And there’s
nothing I can do now except tell parents, please research. Please ask the
questions, please don’t just listen to your doctor. Please go watch ‘Vaxxed.’
Talk to doctors that are against vaccines, see what they’re talking about. And
save your baby because it’s too late for mine.”

Calgary mother:
“I have three kids. My oldest was vaccinated to 18 months. He has autism. He got
diagnosed at three years old, but we knew when he was around two. It was not
long after his 18 month vaccines. That night he had a fever, he was projectile
vomiting. We didn’t really notice too much after that. We did notice that he
started to lose speech. Every time we had someone over, he’d go in his room. He
wanted to be by himself. That’s when I started researching. I found out about
Dr. Wakefield...He's doing okay now; he's very happy. ...
"My five year old and my three year old are totally unvaccinated--totally
healthy. My oldest, if he gets sick. he'll be out for a week or two. My younger
two, if they get a cold, it's a day, and they're done.
https://www.facebook.com/VaxXed/videos/709087892567586/?pnref=story
Mother:
"Our son was vaccinated at six months, and he was diagnosed with leukemia
basically the next day. And passed away--we went through a year's worth of
treatment...while he fought for his life going through cancer treatment. And he
didn't make it."
"He went downhill the next day; it was two weeks before they diagnosed him with
leukemia, after two or three visits to the doctor."
"They were saying, 'Oh put him on antibiotics, it's just an ear infection. ..."
"It was his first vaccination. ..."
"He went through treatment for a year. It was infant leukemia. ..."
"We've had two healthy unvaxxed children since."
https://www.facebook.com/VaxXed/videos/709174099225632/?pnref=story
Calgary parents
Father:
"Our child had, ...we went in for his regular vaccinations [at six months] for
his regular vaccinations, and at the time it was flu season, and they pushed the
flu vaccination on us. And after a couple of months, he got really sick. We went
in and got the antibiotics. Within a few weeks of that, he completely last any
emotions...went from babbling, went from being able to problem solve ...to
absolutely nothing. …
"Our son's five years old, this was at about a year and a half.
"Three years ago, friends and family would shut us down when we'd be talking
about it, and over the past year of so, it's really shifted. There's been more
support for us. It's awesome. The shift is happening. People are starting to
look into it for themselves...."
Mother:
"I just wanted to tell you, thank you so much for this movie. I have a boy, he's
five years old, and he regressed into autism after MMR and flu shot. ...He was
just screaming and head banging. Doctors are not giving any help to us. Nobody
knew what [was] happening with our son.
"Only one year ago, I started to do research." The mother reported that her son
is getting better. "His eye contact is back. I feel so bad that I did it to him.
...And I have two younger boys, and since I did my research, I'm not vaccinating
them."
Another mother:
"It was great. I knew a lot of the information because I've been researching for
my own child. I have a four and a half year old diagnosed with autism. I just
wanted to say that there's hope. He had no words, he banged his head constantly.
Like for example, he didn’t know who we were. …
“[For him it was] the MMR, for sure. …Within days. I didn’t realize right away
because he went to daycare. So he had his MMR on a Friday, he started daycare on
a Monday, and they kept telling me he had these issues, like he just sat and
opened and closed the door constantly. Anytime there was a crowd around, he
walked to the back of the room or to another room. I just thought, that’s not my
child. I don’t know, it must be daycare. It couldn’t be my child. And then he
was at home, and he was opening and closing the door, go down to his bedroom all
be himself and just sit in the doorway and just push it back and forth
constantly. And the head banging was constant. It just progressively got worse
until we started to do something and it got better.”
https://www.facebook.com/VaxXed/videos/709107165898992/?pnref=story
Mother:
“I’m the one with two children with autism. I’m a registered nurse. …I bought
what they told me in nursing school, I promoted vaccines, I even ran vaccine
clinics myself. …
“My daughter was born in the states, so she did get the HepB on day one. And not
knowing, she got all of her vaccinations on time. She was diagnosed with autism
at seven. I now have a five year old that was diagnosed with autism at two and a
half. He was completely nonverbal at two and a half, and I just learned too
late.
“Tonight was quite an eye opening experience for me. I have never put two and
two together about my daughter getting the HepB shot on the first day she was
born. She started exhibiting symptoms within a week of her birth. And I always
thought it must have been genetic because she didn’t get the MMR until she was
12 months old. She got the DTap, the Hepatitis B. My son got the DTap. I never
put any of this together, I thought it was just the MMR.
“Tonight was a very eye-opening experience for me and I’m actually quite
emotional.”
Another mother:
“I have three boys and a stepson, all born between the years 1990 and 2001, all
have been vaccine damaged. I’m sick to my stomach because I’m just learning
about why now. …
“I was very pro-vaccine. I wouldn’t miss a date to get them done….”
Another mother:
“I’m a registered nurse, and I’m now a classical homeopath, but my son had
vaccine damage when he was two from the DTap vaccine. …Two months after his DTap
vaccine, he no longer knew his name. …and obsessive compulsive disorder, head
banging, … He now, since seeking homeopathy, is probably 99.5 percent healed. He
functions as a regular child. He’s going into grade five next year.
“I had a really successful career as a registered nurse, …I have a homeopathic
practice here in Calgary and I’m amongst colleagues and friends who do similar
work, and we get to see kids healed every day, and get better. …It brings joy to
all our lives….
Another mother talked about her vaccine allergies that were passed on to her
child when she was pregnant and “he was born with autism.”

Seattle mother::
“Just watching the movie and seeing all of the factual information about the CDC
whistleblower, and knowing that they’ve known about this the whole time. No
one’s done anything to hold them accountable. Children like mine suffer, because
my son, when he was born, he already had immune problems. He had a rare disease.
Our pediatrician knew about it. Specialists knew about it. We went to Seattle
Children’s. They still told us to vaccinate him, and we did. But I didn’t
vaccinate him with the MMR, so by the grace of God—I don’t know what he’d be
like if we had. He is very high functioning, but he has a lot of other problems.
When we gave him the flu shot, that’s when he regressed.
“He was three years old at that point, and that was the first time he’d had the
flu vaccine. We went in for the first one. They wanted us to do the second. I
couldn’t even take him back for the second, because by then, within the first
few days of the first one, he went from saying his alphabet and making letter
sounds, to stimming, losing eye contact, banging his head, crying. His immune
system is worse. He’s always sick. We struggle every day.
“Yes, he’s high functioning, but he doesn’t live the life he should. …He’ll be
seven next month. I take care of him at home because he’s had such an assault on
his immune system. We even have records showing that his aluminum levels were so
high, and I think that the combination of that mercury-filled flu shot and his
high aluminum levels, it just put him over the edge.
“I think we have regressive autism, but nobody will believe us and by the time
we found out about the Vaccine Injury Court, we were three weeks from the
statute of limitations.”
https://www.facebook.com/VaxXed/videos/708337342642641/?pnref=story
Seattle mother:
“He was given a HepB vaccine, immediately got sick. He passed away a month
later. …
“He had it three times actually, and he got sick each time, and didn’t get
better the last time. “
The child’s grandmother:
“…He had his HepB vaccine at birth. He started vomiting and diarrhea right away.
…The second vaccine was right around the time he was teething. He started
vomiting and diarrhea at that time as well. The doctors told her it was normal
both times. The third vaccine at six months—it was his six month vaccine, but he
was given it at seven months, …”
Mother: “I didn’t want to take him in, but they pushed for it, and I was so
young, I didn’t know to ask questions.”
Grandmother: “So after the third one, he started vomiting and diarrhea, and then
day four, he turned yellow. His liver failed. He died 42 days after his third
Hepatitis B vaccine of liver failure. And I’ve since learned that they’ve found
the HepB actually does cause death to the liver cells. …”
Mother of the child discussed her pediatrician’s reaction.
“She had us go to Children’s Hospital in Seattle here… The doctor told me that
…She told me that she had nightmares about Sebastian. …She was a hundred percent
behind me not vaccinating my daughter. …She told me she had nightmares about it
ever since, and it had been a year later, nine months later.”
https://www.facebook.com/VaxXed/videos/708364665973242/?pnref=story
Seattle mother: (Her father was a gastroenterologist and she’s a license
attorney.)
“My child is now 15, and she’s much more fortunate than many on the autism
spectrum. She has Asperger’s Syndrome. She’s highly gifted. She does very well
in school. She’s a talented artist, an amazing person. But she struggles with
the knowledge she is different, and it is very, very painful, to the extent that
sometimes she wonders if life is worth living.
“She has a long history of illness. She’s on a restricted diet. Her whole life
has been doctors’ visits …
“She was born in 2001. ….I didn’t know anything about the MMR controversy. … My
daughter seemed to develop normally in her first year. …I was on antibiotics at
the time she was born. Everything seemed normal. …There were times when she
would gain skills and then would seem to lose them, and in retrospect, those
were timed around two months and four months and six months. …We were assured
that babies sometimes gain skills and lose them, so we didn’t worry too much
about that. …After her eight months and nine months flu shots, …she developed a
very high fever, projectile vomiting, and became sick with the flu, which lasted
an entire month.
“I did call the nurse and said, ‘I think my daughter got the flu from the flu
shot,’ when this happened, and was assured, ‘Don’t worry about it.’
“We went back dutifully for her nine month flu shot because that’s what we were
told we needed to do, and again, she was sick for a month. Despite all this, she
was our baby. We could tell she was bright and happy. …
“So she had her MMR right after her first birthday …I recall that she did have a
mild fever, seemed to get sick… What I noticed in the weeks that followed was a
change in her personality, she became more withdrawn. …
“After her fifteen month vaccines, her immune system seemed to fall apart, and
she was sick all the time. She developed constant colds, and croup, …and that
croup continued until she was seven years old. She stopped growing well. She
fell off the growth chart. She had diarrhea that was gray… She did not lose all
her language, but she lost some word, and between twelve months and nineteen
months, she did not gain any new words.
“At eighteen months, I became concerned enough to ask her pediatrician if my
daughter might have autism. I was assured at that time, probably she was fine…
She was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder right before her second
birthday. …She was a very sick girl at that time. She was not growing well. …At
that point I became educated…”
Her daughter then developed severe GI disease. “Her gut was clearly damaged.
…She was treated by Dr. Krigsman who saw the inflammation that is commonly found
in kids with autism. ….
https://www.facebook.com/VaxXed/videos/708600892616286/?pnref=story
Portland mother:
“…was a normal, typical boy of course in the beginning. At six months he had his
first reaction, which was what I now realize was borderline SIDS. He slept for
eighteen hours straight. … At a year, he got the MMR and regressed a little bit
more. At eighteen months old, we rushed him in for emergency surgery at Shriners
Hospital, and two days before his surgery, he got the flu. So we rushed him to
the pediatrician who said, ‘Don’t tell them he has the flu because they won’t do
his operation, but he’s going to need vaccines.’ So we gave him, of course,
DTaP, an accidental second flu shot, while with the flu, against CDC
recommendations. …They gave him two flu shots on accident within a couple of
months of each other.
…And so we rushed him into surgery less than 48 hours from getting those shots,
and he never spoke again. He went in saying, ‘Love you, mom,’ and that was the
last time he ever really spoke to me was before that surgery. He came out with
classic symptoms you folks have heard a million times. The diarrhea was nonstop.
He was in a body cast from the surgery, and the diarrhea was for months and
months and months, which turned into constipation….He’s allergic to every med we
give him, including pain meds.
https://www.facebook.com/VaxXed/videos/708313832644992/?pnref=story
Seattle mother:
This is a mom who knew she didn’t want to vaccinate her daughter. “My older
daughter’s had problems with vaccines—We’re military. She was born at Fort Hood,
and I had a birth plan and I told them I did not want to vaccinate her. …Three
days we made it without her being vaccinated, she just had to be four and a half
pounds to take her home. And on the third day, they took her …And I knew it was
the hepatitis B. …Within a few hours she started having apnea spells and
convulsions, and not eating… She has full blown epilepsy. She’s on a feeding
tube. She’s not going to be normal. …
“I’ve learned an awful lot. Everybody needs to do their research.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO2S_4rByaQ
Seattle mother and father:
Mother:
“Our two older sons were vaccine injured, born in 1996 and 1998.
“Our older son was having a lot of problems, but we didn’t really know what they
were. It wasn’t until our second son had the full crash out after the MMR—I
mean he—the whole typical thing. He was on antibiotics, his third round of
antibiotics for year infections that wouldn’t quit.
“He had been brilliantly developing. He had 15 words by the time he was 15
months old, he was strong, he was engaged, he danced…
“I was very concerned about getting these vaccines. Back in …it was early 2000,
Back then it was MMR on one side, Hib and HepB on the other. At about the eighth
day, he got a very frightening fever where he basically was nonresponsive. I
called the doctors and they blow me off. In retrospect, when I looked at the
vaccine injury table, and saw that that’s basically a sign of encephalitis, and
they said, “Let’s just see if he gets better,” I couldn’t even believe it. So he
basically was nonresponsive, had a fever ,a few days later, when things seemed
like it was a little bit better, I took him in to check. They weren’t concerned,
but they were concerned about the giant lump on his leg.
Father:
“The pediatrician basically said, ‘Oh, he seems to be in some distress.’
“He was sucking his thumb till it was bleeding, and he would only stare at
Scooby Doo on the TV, and would on eat potato chips and ice cream. And our
pediatrician had the grace to say, ‘He seems to be in some distress.’”
Mother:
“It was basically the week after that fever that he lost everything. He lost all
of his language, he did nothing but sit and stare straight ahead, or scream….”
Father:
“Aren’t our pediatricians supposed to be telling us about the flags? But they’re
not. They seem to be—They’re going by the schedule and not worrying about is
intuitive to what a pediatrician should do. And that’s really frustrating.”
Mother:
“I won’t let a pediatrician touch my child. We found fantastic
doctors—naturopaths, family MDs—all sorts of people who knew so much more. …”
https://www.facebook.com/VaxXed/videos/vb.669084493234593/709558152520560/?type=2&theater
Calgary mother:
Mother: “[I’m the mother of] a twelve year old little boy. Completely typical,
fully engaged, all the milestones, even fully potty-trained by the time he was
two years old. And two months before his third birthday—he got his shots late
because I had this yucky feeling, and so I held off—and then one week later, a
huge fever, the first drop seizure. Within a week, he was having hundreds of
seizures a day. …His condition dilapidated so rapidly that we were assigned a
social worker and told to enjoy him while we had him.
“But he has recovered. We found a medical diet. He still does have very many
autism symptoms… My story is very much like everybody else except the seizures
come on really rapidly and really intense.
“He is a hundred percent seizure free and a hundred percent medication free, but
we had to put him on this very, very rigid diet. …All organic, all whole food. …

@John Stone,
Thank you for the link of the article John, is a great
piece, just as everything else you write.
Let's hope the clip is included in the DVD.
Have a great day!

Lisa,
We just rescued a kitten too. My daughter got her from a
teammate of her's. The kitten was born in a barn and had no vet care until we
took her this past week. Luckily we found a vet who is ok with no vaccines. She
did have mites and her ears infected. She is on an antibiotic. Also, she has
round worm which requires some oral treatment. I feel like these things are
stressing her immune system already. Yet, she eats well and has never had an
accident or vomited. She is active and happy. Smart too.
I wish I knew about vaccines when my kids were babies. At least I can have a
happy healthy cat.

@ John Stone,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I was looking into the transcript and saw the interview was done in 2008, so sad basically nothing has done since.
Here is a video of the transcript you posted earlier.
This particular one was posted by the wonderful Ginger Taylor, where she typed captions analizing each of the 'answers' Dr. Gerberding gave in the interview. So brilliant.
Not sure if the producers of Vaxxed read the comments on this site, but I think this particular interview with Dr. Gerbending MUST be included in the "extras" of the DVD, (whenever the DVD get released.)

No, I am sorry they missed that but here in London I have not yet even seen the film. I am sometimes better at locating and remembering key quotes than others.
Posted by: John Stone | June 25, 2016 at 06:45 PM
@John Stone,
John, the interview in CNN with Julie Gerbending that you
mentioned came out around the time my son had been diagnosed. I remember it
clearly. Then, when I saw Vaxxed, I wondered why that clip was not included in
the movie. It should have, in my humble opinion, but it wasn't.
Do you know why? I'm curious...
TIA!
Kika-
(Here is Julie Gerberding at the time of the Poling decision when she was still director of the CDC (before she took the revolving door to Merck's vaccine division) on CNN:
“Now, we all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids. So if a child was immunized, got a fever, had other complications from the vaccines. And if you’re predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism."

Last week we brought home a rescue kitten. It was 11 weeks old. Its rescuer had already given it two vaccines for distemper and one very aggressive flea treatment (even though there was no sign of fleas.) She had also already neutered and micro-chipped it. The first thing it did after we brought it home was have diarrhea all over our bed. A week later it is still underweight and has yet to have a normal stool. It cries throughout the night. The rescuer told us this kitten was due for a rabies vaccine next week. Obviously that's not going to happen!
Poor thing. So many very well-intentioned animal lovers out there are grossly over-medicating and over-vaccinating their dogs and cats, as per their vet's advice. The vets are making a killing. The animals are lucky to live.
Meanwhile, we brought home another rescue kitten two months ago that had yet to visit a vet. It has received no medical interventions to date of any kind. It is the picture of health and happiness.
We have our own vaxxed/unvaxxed study going in our household now. We've even nicknamed the kittens vaxxed and unvaxxed.
Sadly, it's not just children and members of the military who are falling victim to medical tyranny in this country. It is our pets too.
Posted by: Lisa | June 25, 2016 at 12:19 PM
Andrea, and others here who have said you feel foolish and stupid for listening to your doctors' advice about vaccines. Don't think that for one minute! What is the point of having professionals, who get very suitably remunerated for their expertise, if their clients have to do all their own research. I know how infuriating it is in retrospect, but really, the responsibility is all theirs, and they have no excuses for neglecting their professional duty of care.
Posted by: Grace Green | June 25, 2016 at 11:04 AM
I am also very interested to see what the box office
receipts are for vaxxed! Can we get an update somehow?
It IS exciting to think that so many people are finally getting an education.
Watching my sister's reaction as she watched the movie was priceless!!
Posted by: Jan | June 25, 2016 at 09:31 AM
Polley is so awesome. It was so nice to meet her in person
in Cleveland a few weeks ago. We both have 20 year old sons who are severely
affected/injured. I was exactly like her. "Pro-vaccine". Ha...I was a trusting
gullible uniformed mother. I let my kids pediatriciansdo all the thinking.
Anything they said I complied. No questions. Complete trust in their expertise.
I was so stupid! But 20 years ago the secret of vaccine harm wasn't well known.
My son just got sicker and sicker as I just followed the orders and advice of
the "experts".
And now as we parents come forward and tell our children's stories we have
become a threat to these doctors that we put up on a pedal stool. And they have
turned their backs on our children after they harmed them and made them sick and
disabled. I feel foolish and angry.
I met Dr. Wakefield at a conference many many years ago. In Cleveland at Vaxxed
I introduced him to my son. My son who can't speak. Dr. Wakefield was so kind to
him. Spoke so comfortably to him. He was just so very kind. It was something I
will never forget.
Thank you Polley, Dr. Wakefield, and Del. You are truly amazing. And we are so
very grateful for everything.

Here is Julie Gerberding at the time of the Poling decision when she was still director of the CDC (before she took the revolving door to Merck's vaccine division) on CNN:
“Now, we all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids. So if a child was immunized, got a fever, had other complications from the vaccines. And if you’re predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism."
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0803/29/hcsg.01.html
And here are HHS HRSA officials talking to journalists Sharyl Attkisson and David Kirby on different occasions:
"The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually caused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures."

But vaccines don't cause autism.
**************
No that's right Bill, they poison people.
Autism is just a name that the medical comunnity made up, to hide that truth.

Jan you can't help but think someone brilliant ant a tad quirky like Suzanne Vega, one of my favorite artists ever, wouldn't stand a chance on today's vaccine schedule

Mother says that the CDC 2004 MMR study is a major reason she vaccinated and injured her sons:

Thank you so much Anne Dachel, and Polley Tommey for everything you do!!!
In this day in age, anyone whom dismisses or glosses over what is driving this much human tragedy, is neither humane nor scientific.

Bill Pembry;
Vaccines don't cause autism, but it can cause symptoms that just look like autism . LOL!

Can we force this site to update the stats about Vaxxed box
office receipts ? Do we know the real stars?
This site and Imdb stopped updating Vaxxed stats in early May which keeps its
growth off the radar. Censored? Or a mistake? I don't know. But it's weird .

**Here's an additional video of a parent in Portland, Maine.

The mother who was interviewed talked about her children's injuries and she used
the word "Vaccinosis." I've never heard that before, but it's the accepted
medical term for a vaccine injury.
YES, VACCINE SIDE EFFECTS ARE REAL---THEY EVEN HAVE A WORD FOR IT! I THINK I'M
GOING TO USE IT.
"Vaccinosis is a set of symptoms that occurs after the administration of a
vaccine(s). These symptoms are more commonly referred to as adverse reactions or
events occurring within minutes."

I saw Vaxxed last night with my sister. My 30 year old son
Andrew developed Autism after receiing the MMR vaccine when he was 16 months
old. He got the vaccine along with his oral polio on the last day of a 10 course
of antibiotics (and of course lots of Tylenol) for an ear infection.
I've been following the the story of vaccines and Autism since the late 1990s.
I've been following the CDC/Thompson case since it came out in 2014. It still
didn't prepare me for what I saw last night. it was devastating. I went with my
sister, a special ed teach in an inner city high school and she was blown away.
She had no idea of the level of corruption.
I was looking for some way to clearly explain how I feel since seeing vaxxed and
this moring I found this quote by Arundhati Roy - “The trouble is that once you
see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying
nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There's no innocence.
Either way, you're accountable.” I feel this so strongly. No more sitting on my
hands. I need to speak out and I must contact my senators and congressman even
when i think they will ignore me.
I was also struck by the words to the song BAD WISDOM by Suzanne Vega, that I
have loved and listened to hundreds of times. I heard it the other morning and
in light of VAXXED I'll never listen to this song the same way again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEz5il1Syhc

Heart-breaking stories of family after family .. who .. like the vast majority of AoA commenters .. were once pro-vaccine parents .. and .. are now forced to live their lives in "quiet desperation" .. courtesy of will-fully ignorant medical and public health professionals .. who have shown nothing but "Callous Disregard" for our children and families ..
SHAME ON ALL THOSE VOLUNTARY PARTICIPANTS .. WHO .. AFTER DECADE UPON DECADE OF "EVIDENCE OF HARM" BEING DONE TO GENERATION UPON GENERATION .. CONTINUE TO CARRY ON .. DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR VIOLATING THEIR SWORN OATH .. .. TO FIRST DO NO HARM.
