And there are people who believe that MMS is not Bleach, and yet whine about the mercury in vaccinations.
Morons. Your children should not suffer for your idiocy.
Well, speak of the devil (and by devil, I mean a commenter on the original blog):
Ms. Willingham: Perhaps your alarmist and misinformed tirades would be more believable if you made the minor effort of holding your conclusions before presenting the "evidence".
Let a thinking, critical and well informed reader make their own conclusions before you prompt and cue them as if they were sheep as to how the should feel and react.
re : "what I describe here is child abuse and tantamount to torture of autistic children. It is harrowing and horrifying."
The numerous appeals to the authority of the FDA as the non-plus ultra of scientific and medical correctness ring hollow to me when one merely recalls that this was the same agency that in the 80's approved vaccination schedules that contained more mercury INJECTED directly into children than the mericury it it was warning pregnant women to keep from eating by limiting their tuna intake.
All humans make mistakes, and the FDA is a human agency.
I know Ms. Rivera personally and will vouch for her love and devotion to her children. She would never do anything to hurt them. In fact, she has dedicated her life to helping them. And help them and others she has !
Of course, I could just be slow and this is what you were actually referencing.
I... just...
sighThe FDA doesn't make things "medically correct," it just oversees certain products and licenses to make sure nobody's slipping cyanide into the sleeping pills. America is actually very lax on alternative medicine compared to some other developed countries. It is perfectly legal, for instance, for a company to sell an alt-med product that makes all sorts of bizarre health claims, as long as it provides a disclaimer that the FDA has not reviewed those statements. If that company tried to put its product through FDA scrutiny, it would certainly fail, so it's much easier to just slap the disclaimer on.
The FDA is not a determiner of scientific fact. What we know about medicine comes from a rigorous peer-review process conducted by multiple individuals, organizations, and other entities.
I have no problem with people reaching their own dumbass conclusions and inflicting it upon themselves (if you wanna be the next Darwin Award recipient by shooting bleach up your butt, power to you), but inflicting it upon a
child, who has no say in the matter, is downright irresponsible.
Also ethylmercury vs. methylmercury yadda yadda yadda.
