Dr. Gordon will participate on a vaccinations panel at the Whole Child, Whole Planet Expo on Sunday, May 18, at 11:50 AM at the Waldorf School in Northridge, California. He will be available to sign copies of his informative DVD, “Vaccinations?: Assessing the Risks and Benefits,” from 1-2:00 PM. For information about the expo, go to www.wcwpexpo.com.
The best option at the present time might be to stop all vaccines if you understand and agree with the statistical risks involved with non-vaccination. This option is not acceptable for every family.
Bob Sears has written a brilliant article about the scientifically demonstrated but largely undefined risk of aluminum in shots. Brilliant!
To Dr. Sears, I would argue that this could now serve as a bridge to a possible pause in vaccines until they remove residual mercury and all the aluminum. I understand that alternative schedules might be an answer for some but we’re still using the same shots with the same ingredients. Dr. Sears forcefully and very intelligently states that we don’t know if there is a safe level of aluminum and preservatives! Time for a temporary pause, Dr. Bob?
Vaccine manufacturers, the CDC/FDA/AAP/ACIP need to prove the safety of the aluminum, formalin, residual egg and porcine cells in immunizations.
It is not our job to prove danger, it’s their job to prove that attempting to create immunity against certain illnesses is safe and worth the risk to an individual child. The discussion of Public Health is important but parents also want and are completely entitled to discuss risks and benefits for one child, their child.
Could the risk/benefit ratio be different? Yes, it could be. Your doctor has to discuss safety: get the aluminum and the rest of the mercury out of vaccines. Stop assuming that we’re naive enough to believe that injecting aluminum, formalin, other preservatives, porcine residue and more will create no side effects. We have watched the progression of childhood illness to the horror of the CDC’s own number: one of six children have a neuroimmune disease. Every day I see children with OCD, Autism spectrum challenges, severe oppositional-defiant syndrome, ADD/ADHD (it’s real!) learning disorders from mild to disabling severe, or bipolar disorder.
Prove vaccines–the concept and their full complement of ingredients–safe or stopping asking us to jump when you say jump.
Dr. Jay Gordon and Jenny McCarthy will be featured on Fox 11 News in Los Angeles, discussing vaccinations, autism, and keeping America’s children healthy tonight during the 10 o’clock news. Thereafter, Dr. Jay will participate in a live online chat to discuss these controversial topics and other pressing health questions after the program at 11:00 PM.

Since the Los Angeles Times reported that the largest U.S. measles outbreak occurred in 2006, news radio reporters have been parroting admonitions by the medical establishment to vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate. The irony is that most of the adults infected had been vaccinated during childhood, and got measles nonetheless. Now there’s some rumblings to have yet another MMR vaccine for fear some people will loose immunity over time. News flash: When it comes to vaccinations, one size does not fit all! The human immune system is dynamic– and let’s face it– we doctors haven’t completely figured it out.
I was thrilled to see Larry King provide a forum for the vaccinations/autism link with the family whose daughter received nine vaccines in a single visit. I’m only being a little facetious when I say the three doctors commenting on the panel were all wearing very large clown shoes and surreptitiously holding funny red noses in their laps!
Clearly in some cases, a genetic proclivity combined with an environmental assault can create a recipe for severe developmental issues. Vaccines, aluminum in vaccines and multiple vaccinations all contribute to autism, period. They don’t cause all cases, but they sure do contribute mightily.
