You should be interested to know that autism is considered by many
experts to be an autoimmune disorder, as is lupus.

In recent months we’ve seen the government concede that vaccines cause
autism. Although the public health officials claim that the case is
unusual, the Hannah Poling case is only one of many conceded by the US
Vaccine Court in which damages were paid by the US Vaccine Injury
Compensation program for 'autism-like symptoms'

Now we are hearing from the former head of the National Institute of
Health, that the government has been too quick to dismiss a link
between vaccines and autism and has, in fact, deliberately looked
away, in fear of what they would discover.

The state of New Jersey has recently mandated flu vaccines for
children as young as six months of age, in order for them to be
allowed to attend preschool or daycare. And yet the vast majority of
flu vaccines contain the same toxic amounts of mercury as the
childhood vaccines of the last few decades. Mercury is one of the most
neurotoxic substances known to man, which is why the CDC agreed, along
with vaccine makers, to voluntarily remove it from vaccines. Almost
ten years after they publicly stated mercury should be removed, it is
still present in toxic amounts in the flu vaccines which are now
routinely being administered to pregnant women, babies, and children.
And which have recently been made mandatory in NJ.

So why am I telling you these things?  I am telling you these things
because you’re unlikely to hear them on your cable news channels.  Why
are these stories not all over your cable news channels? Because in
between the ‘news’ stories, we see almost nothing but paid ads for
pharmaceuticals.

So what does this have to do with lupus?
I watched the video, read the stuff, etc, and they are talking about the
immunization of children.  If you know more about how this might affect
lupus sufferers, please let us know.   Thanks,
