Nurses still 'suspicious' of MMR

Nurses still 'suspicious' of MMR
NT Online News
posted on 11 02 2005
http://www.nursingtimes.net/nav?page=nt.news.story&resource=2040886

The vast majority of nurses lack confidence in the measles, mumps and
rubella (MMR) vaccine despite overwhelming evidence that it does not cause
autism.

In a poll of over 300 nurses conducted on nursingtimes.net, 94% said they
were 'still suspicious' of MMR.

The results come as a leading academic today said the UK has 'all but lost
the battle for MMR'.

Professor Paul Bellaby, writing in the British Medical Journal blamed the
lack of support for MMR on a failure of leadership by health professionals,
lack of support from politicians, including the prime minister, and
journalists who 'have more interest in amplifying risk than allaying public
anxiety'

Last week week a major Japanese study showed no link between the vaccine and
childhood autism.

The research is the latest in a long line of studies which have failed to
replicate or validate a paper published in The Lancet in 1998 suggesting the
vaccine caused bowel disease and autism.

Up to that point, MMR vaccinations in the United Kingdom reached 92% of its
targets. But by 2002, the United Kingdom lost considerable ground and
coverage of MMR in London is around 75%.

Reference: Bellaby P (2005) Has the UK government lost the battle over MMR?

Gee, I never thought I'd see John admit that the evidence for the
safety of MMR is "overwhelming."  It's gratifying to see, though.

This sounds like there could be a lot of self-selection bias -- it could be
that nurses who were "suspicious" of MMR responded.

Nurses don't have the training in immunology and vaccines that physicians
have. A lot of them don't have experience caring for kids in iron lungs,
kids who brains have been damaged by menigitis or kids who cough to death
with purtusis, either.

One thing is for sure, they have 1,000  times the heart you don't have,
which is all you need in medicine, not some pseudo knowledge in junk
science, that is maiming and killing children on a daily basis.  And get a
spell checker, if you are going to talk pharma bollocks it looks better--you
might at least fool the monkeys.  And you allopaths caused iron lung polio
by removing tonsils.  Read some history books.

Fortunately, the pseudoscienced of a.sholes  like wakefield has not caught
one, so it does not maim nearly as many people as that.

Fortuantely, most people accept vaccines. And thousands of kids are alive
because of this. For example, no cases of polio or smallpox are seen in the
US. menigitis, hepatitis, measles, chieckpox, rubella related birth defects,
pertusis and  diptheria are down because of vaccination.

HA HA. That is the funnist thing I have read today. Tonsil removal causes
polio?

Polio is caused by a virus.

Odd.... I don't have tonsils (I was a strep carrier) and neither does
my husband.  And we somehow seem to have forgetten our iron lungs...
where *did* we put the darn things?  Maybe the moving company lost them

John, John, John,
 To quote you from an earlier post in this thread... "And get a spell

at least fool the monkeys."
 Then, in your last post you write... "You'll be alright, ahven't you heard

 Where in the name of all that is sacred is your freaking spell checker?
Looks like you took a bullock right between the eyes on that post and
bullock wounds are nasty.  No, wait!  I must have been thinking of another
word.  All you do is cut, paste, and hyperlink.  Doesn't take a member of
MENSA to do what you're doing but you might at least fool the monkeys.

when has MENSA done anything that warranted any attention, it just proves
you need emotional/spiritual intelligence to find the truth not academic
brilliance. And you are one of the billions of monkeys believing a load of
old bollocks--that cartel medicine is ever going to solve the disease

Isn't it amazing?  No doubt all those children in India, Nigeria, and
so on who've contracted polio over the last couple of years first had
their tonsils out.

coffins.

Too many children in the US would get coffins if we still had polio, even
with iron lungs.

Going to own up?  Pigs might fly!

"Dr. R. V. Southcott (Med. Jour. .Aust. 1953. ii. 281) believes that a child
whose tonsils were removed at the usual age of 5-7 yrs suffers trauma to the
nerves of the pharynx which increases susceptibility to bulbar poliomyelitis
for at least ten years. In an outbreak in South Australia in 1947-48 he
found that in 35 out of 39 cases of bulbar poliomyelitis the patient had
been tonsillectomised)."--M. Meadow Bayly, M.R.C.S.,

The iatrogenic part of it was that we caused thousands of cases of
paralysis. We did not cause the polio, but we converted people who would
have recovered from a viral illness into people with a paralytic illness. To
this day, I don't think the medical profession has owned up to that problem
that it caused in the Australian health community.

Ummmm this "research" is 50-60 years old.  And, not only that, there
were 35 people who had tonsillectomies that also got polio - but what
about all of the folks who had tonsillectomies and *never* got polio?

There was a great TV show many years ago called That Was The Week That Was,
or TW3. TW3 had one segment which was called News of the Future.

No, it is a compound of mercury that is in the body as ethyl mercury. Ethyl
mercury is rapidly cleared through feces.

You are such a  hoot, John.

If the injections are the main cause of polio, how come the rate of polio in
ths US since the injections were started is close to 0, and is 0 now?

The oral polio vaccine effectively eliminated polio from the western
hemisphere, and the IPV (inactivated polio vaccine, the one that is
injected), keeps polio out.

And thanks for telling us about the whale site. It is so funny. No wonder
the author doesn't put her name on it. I can't blame her. She clearly has no
knowledge of science, vaccines or medicine. Again, thanks for the laugh.

According to fellow NeT kOoK, Todd Gastaldo, John
(nospamoridiotss@vaccine.con) runs whale.to

See:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/misc.kids.pregnancy/msg/b643968eb5d761dc

His assertion (that John runs whale.to) was not verified or rejected by
John...  I can only assume that it's true...  Otherwise John would've
said so when I started pointing and laughing at him.  I find it
hilarious that John runs around Usenet quoting himself as an authority.

Hey John - how many gunmen were there when Kennedy was assassinated?

You are!  For insistently quoting yourself!!  If you're going to try to
prove something, you have to have facts and evidence, your own paranoid
rantings don't count!

Again, if you were in college and you wrote a research paper, and the
only source you cited was your own website, what sort of grade do you
think you'd get?

If you are going to quote yourself, then you need to provide
documentation of your credentials.  What year did you finish medical
school, and from which institution did you matriculate?  Oh, wait,
you're a high school drop out?  Huh, well thanks for playing, turkey.

Moron.  At least look at my website before you make such idiotic comments.
Whale is a collection of research, and researchers.
