Aug 26, '12 by mariebaileyQuote from linearthinkerI disagree. The CDC spends a great deal of time and resources monitoring the safety of vaccines and educating providers and the public on the contraindications and precautions to vaccination.However, the CDC is charged with the public health, and an individual's egg allergy or hx of adverse reactions is immaterial to them.PunkBenRN likes this. - Aug 26, '12 by mariebaileyQuote from TaitBiased? Maybe towards health promotion & disease prevention"CDC is biased and paid to say that" when I attempted to actually reference my sources on Thimerosal.
. Anyway, if you want some alternative resources on subjects like thimerosal (for those who don't see the CDC as legit), the Vaccine Education Center has some great educational handouts and information: Educational Materials | The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Also, I can't help but post this great documentary once more on the topic at hand: The Vaccine War | FRONTLINE | PBS -
Sep 1, '12 by xoemmylouoxQuote from sbruc002I think the Frontline episode on vaccines was very informative as I find most of their topics. I watched that when it first came out. People have the same doubts today.. I don't know what it will take for those who doubt vaccines to trust them..Biased? Maybe towards health promotion & disease prevention.

Whether intelligently designed or designed by nature, the human species in blessed with an amazing amount of diversity. Along with the physical and genetic diversity is intellectual diversity. Although vaccines being undoubtedly beneficial, a species that does all of one thing runs the risk of a catastrophic event.
Those of us who take vaccines will survive while others will not. However to appease our conspiratorial brethren, should the vaccines be contaminated by the FDA in conjunction with the IRS and Al Qaeda in an effort to control our brains so that the Illuminati can rule without question, we shall be proven wrong.BlueDevil,DNP likes this. -

Sep 8, '12 by CrunchyMamaOf course they're biased....as is any big organization trying to make money. Just like the AAP as well. There's HUGE amounts of money to be made, so of course they're going to say anything to make a buck. It's a perfect world when a big organization is truly concerned about the health of others, but unfortunately money is the root of all evil. :/ - Sep 8, '12 by mariebaileyQuote from BlueDevil,DNPI understood the point, & I agreed with majority of the statement except for that line. The word "immaterial" comes across like they have some sort of utilitarian rationale, whereby they readily accept that some will suffer for "the greater good". Individual contraindications are considered and incorporated into recommendations. The MMWRs and Vaccine Info Statements all clearly list for whom the vaccines are NOT recommended.I think the point was that they do not consider individual patient's contraindications when making public health recommendations.TheSquire likes this.
