Interesting discussion, wanted to join it for a moment...I will say re: Autism, it is a spectrum IMO. I think the term 'disorder' in a general sense is inaccurate. I would certainly concede that some Autism and autistic traits are classified as disorders, high-functioning Autism is not so much a disorder as it is a different cycle of application. To simplify my view, autism which requires very specific external care, parameters, and living conditions would likely qualify as a disorder. Autism which require minimal support/structure does not IMO. I accept this is a discussion and definition which will have many different angles and perspectives.
Can you address these questions I have.
1. Vaccines have been associated with conditions that can affect cerebral blood and oxygen flow. Reduced oxygen flow to the brain is widely considered as a major risk factor that contributes to the development of Autism along with multiple other health issues. Why does 2+2 not = 4 here?
There are so many potential contributors to things such as reduced oxygen-flow to the brain (environmental - literally what's in the air and the volume of it depending on where you live). The oxygen-to-brain link comes mostly from things which happen in and around birth/preemies I thought, when frankly, all manner of conditions can occur. And if vaccines can/do cause Autism, which end of the scale are we looking at? Because as discussed, have we not established that there is a wide spectrum? I genuinely think it's too hard to make such a definitive call. Personally, I have always got vaccines. I have been managing some health issues for years with a mixture of exercise, lifestyle, and moderate diet. I got 6 rounds of covid vaccine over the spell of it. I got it once, lightly. I am doing very well in all aspects.
2. There are hundreds of thousands of parents who detail their children’s development deteriorating close to recieving a vaccination. In some cases it’s almost immediate. These reports pre date social media and “right wing misonformation”. Infact being anti vaccine was very much a left wing talking point until Covid. Why are they all wrong?
I think there's a lot of generalisation here? Which vaccines? What development deteriorates? Hundreds of thousands of parents globally? What's the context/ I am sure some children suffer adverse affects to some vaccines. I suspect with any sort of medical matter, some people have reactions to either the medicines or procedures. I am not sure it is such a straight-fit. I suppose the main question becomes just how robust is the natural immune system versus the influx of 'ingredients' into our environment every day. What once worked flawlessly now needs assistance as new strains and illness rise up. I suppose it is possible that conspiracists are right and that these are all 'created in labs' and 'avoidable'. I don't know. I do believe information gets amplified and weaponised however.
3. Why is the personal expirience I have with my wife, who who administerd vaccines and saw it directly impact children, discounted? She’s not the only Nurse she worked with that changed professions/retired due to it. We are still friends with active Nurses who do no vaccinate their children or have them on a delayed schedule. Do you really think they are quitting six figure jobs and risking their children’s lives because they listened to a Joe Rogan episode?
You have a unique perspective here, and one I certainly would not dream of arguing against. I would be interested to know the percentage of children who get vaccinated and see none of these negative impacts.
4. Why are you not suspicious of profit motivated multinational pharmecutical corporations that have paid out trillions in lawsuits for malpractice relating to products they developed. Where they have been proven to have been aware of both the ineffectiveness of those products as well as health and saftey issues they can cause. Then it’s also been proven they have manipulated saftey trials to mislead health professionals and the public. Then factor in that they are federally protected from legal action in the event of a vaccine related injury for product which undergoes less rigerous safety testing than the ones they are proven to have lied about.
I am suspicious of multinational corporations in general. I am even more suspicious of governments which look to tear down checks & balances without anything in their place other than personal theories driving policy. I suppose it comes down to how bent you believe the CDC and FDA are/were. Me? Oh I'm sure there was some corruption -sadly, big business will always have elements of it as I don't believe that capitalism is a pure endeavor in that regard and there will always be 'soilers' - however I think to gut these depts and eradicate other smaller but very important health offices is exceptionally dangerous and leaves us in a situation where we could end up scrambling hard in a future health crisis (which will leave more corruption than ever as a viable outcome given we will have no real information as research has been gutted). The throttling/destruction of biomed research is exceptionally dangerous. I have a good friend in cancer research; he says it's very worrying.
Whilst I admire holisitic medicine and practices, I think it is exceptionally dangerous to eschew western med/pharm as evil, etc. As with most things, people could do with being a little more in touch with their own bodies and minds, plus balance of approach to therapies and cures is important. But I believe that Kennedy is doing some dangerous things.
