BUT, the medical community still has no clue why my son puts holes in the wall with his head, they’re just sure it couldn’t have been anything THEY did to him.
Let me be clear, Jenny McCarthy is annoying as heck, but she just wants to know why her son’s sick. Her son didn’t bang his head against the wall, but he did have massive seizures. One put him into a coma, and he almost died.
I’m not convinced vaccines played a role in my son’s autism, but I’m not convinced they didn’t either. And FWIW, I’ve had him on her cooky diet for the last 6 months, and I think it’s working.

KillTruck – I am with you – I am kind of a loon to be honest, but I am not at all convinced that injecting shit into our children is a good idea. Especially mass-produced shit. All mass-produced shit, no matter the quality checks that go into the process, still have an error rate (defective rate). That is, not all defective product is prevented from making it into the marketplace. Erm, Toyota comes to mind at present… but I also recall something called Toxic Shock Syndrome – from Tampons – which was very real indeed. Much less real was the flap over fake boobies. And in fact, as loony as I may be, the evidence doesnt support the accusations in terms of the fake booby thingy. My wife and I refused to vaccinate for the Swine Flu… and in particular would never, ever have allowed our youngest to be vaccinated for it. Likewise, should they instruct us by force to vaccinate our girls against hpv, they can suck an egg and jail me. Additional loony things that concern me – my fucking amalgam (sic?) fillings from the seventies. Not cool. I lost several of them and I feel better for it, despite growing older in the meantime. With an organism so complex and so little understood even to this day, why should we be shocked that dumping bio-chem into it might cause problems. But them, if you really want to start freaking out about environmental issues that some say messes with our health, you can look to how our water is treated and even worse the traces of pharmaceuticals of all manner and type that are there present. I dont recommend you get into that – because what you will find may scare the shizenhoffer out of you.

Yes, but the irony I was hoping for, and evidently failed to convey, is that the august Lancet won’t be much affected, I’m afraid.

When did these geniuses decide to lie to the American people? Lie after lie after lie. Our health, the economy, the climate, for Gods sake our so called leaders think it’s their job to lie to us, why? There is a pattern here and who is behind all this? Is it just to destroy our country, is that it, so we just hate the whole thing? It won’t work, we will be angry, but that will just motivate us to fight harder against it. It’s not in our DNA. Is that why they want to import new DNA so they can manipulate and control? Can you really blame Jenny McCarthy for grasping on to something to help save her child? That is how sick this whole thing is and it needs to stop, now!

Dan, they are the same people who published that outlandish Iraq war death toll number. And they haven’t been affected much for that, either.

The truely sad thing is that there is no putting this evil genie back in the bottle. The true-belivers will now claim that the Lancet was FORCED by the evil pharmaceutical companies to retract. I am almost certain that anti-vaccine websites are already claiming “IT’S A CONSPIRACY!!!” What? There is no evidence that there is a conspiracy? Don’t be a fool! The ABSENCE of evidence of conspiracy is the BEST possible evidence that there IS a conspiracy!” [Wipes spittle from corner of mouth.]

I’m sure you’re right about that. On the other hand, it will now be possible for some to tie it to figmentary anthropogenic global warming.

Well, I don’t think that she’s that bright, but Ms. McCarthy’s centerfold and PMOY photos were hot.
Wait, was that off topic?
