Measles being endemic:
Health Protection Ag...@Jim.<br /><br />Measles being endemic:<br />Health Protection Agency, 2008,<br />http://www.hpa.org.uk/hpr/archives/2008/news2108.htm#measls<br /><br />"All recent indigenously-acquired cases with a genotype have been shown to be the same D4 sequence (MVs/Enfield.GBR/14.07). This genotype was first identified in April 2007 and is now endemic in the UK."<br /><br />Risk / Benefit analysis of vaccination vs measles (taken from a recent Guardian CiF thread, compiled by DeeTee from (I understand) HPA stats):<br />If one million kids are given vaccine (MMR): <br />1000 will have a febrile convulsion. <br />30 will get thrombocytopenia. <br />10 will get a severe allergic reaction. <br />1 will get encephalitis (ADEM). <br /><br />If one million kids get measles (in Europe, in the 21st century): <br />200 will die. <br />100,000 will be ill enough to need hospitalisation. <br />90,000 will get otitis media. <br />80,000 will get gastroenteritis. <br />50,000 will get primary viral or secondary bacterial pneumonia. <br />5000 will have a febrile convulsion. <br />1000 will get encephalitis (ADEM or SSPE), 100 of whom will die and 2-300 will have residual brain damage. <br />1000 will get various other problems such as hepatitis, myocarditis, thrombocytopenia or miscarriage if caught in pregnancy.<br /><br />Non-medically indicated colonoscopies:<br />http://www.gmc-uk.org/static/documents/content/Wakefield__Smith_Murch.pdf<br />(Just read it - the whole thing - in order to get some idea of exactly what Wakefield got up to. Not the frequent use of the phrase "admitted and proved". Especially the word "admitted". If he's so sure of no wrong doing, why admit most of it?)<br /><br />Vaccines most successful health development:<br />This piece from the Public Health Agency of Canada is probably as good as anything:<br />http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/im/measure-intervention-eng.php<br /><br />Please remember that my email was just that - an email. It was not a scientific paper.<br /><br />Frankly, you don't sound as though you're terribly interested in researching anything. You've clearly made up your mind.<br /><br />I've considered in the past writing a more detailed biography, but frankly, the obsession with my "identity" is starting to get a little creepy.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802457584729144048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154548573349610503.post-55441440151612359522010-07-11T04:29:23.017+01:002010-07-11T04:29:23.017+01:00Jim, who are you addressing? Becky or Autism News...Jim, who are you addressing? Becky or Autism News Beat? If you follow ANB's links you will see what happened.<br /><br />If you think Becky is lying, then ask Teri Arranga to show evidence that she contacted the Phoenix Ritz on more than one day and sent more than two emails. Surely, Ms. Arranga has the evidence to back up her assertions.<br /><br />Just like ANB can bring up evidence that he was registered for the conference he was kicked out of. Actually, in the comments on that article is a comment with links to many other videos taken at that conference by a journalism student. I clicked on it, and they seem to still be there, including video of the panel ANB was kicked out of: http://combatingautismfromwithin.blogspot.com/2008/05/journalism-panel.html<br /><br />Which pretty much confirms that Ms. Arranga was lying about "unauthorized videotaping". <br /><br />I think it is pretty clear that Ms. Arranga has problems with truth.<br /><br />The rest I am not so sure how to follow what you are saying. What kind of research are you doing? If it is actual science, you are not going to get much in the way of emotion. <br /><br />There is a list of recommended reading, guaranteed to be devoid of emotional arguments. If you have any actual evidence that there is a connection between autism and vaccines, do please present them. Just be sure that they are of the quality of the listed studies, and are not retracted and are not from vanity journals like "Medical Hypothesis", "Medical Veritas" and "Autism Insights."<br /><br />Here is the list (it is mostly on vaccines, and their impact... the list of autism and genetics papers would be even longer), many are available free online and you can contact your local library to get the rest:<br /><br />http://www.immunize.org/journalarticles/conc_aut.aspChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428361191787397415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154548573349610503.post-62711811623613747192010-07-11T03:10:56.722+01:002010-07-11T03:10:56.722+01:00I would really appreciate if you can help me tell ...I would really appreciate if you can help me tell the difference between what you say and what Teri Arranga has said, because it seems as though you are guilty of word play and lies just as you say Teri Arrange has. <br />"Disappointingly, The Autism Society of Greater Phoenix has chosen your venue to promote unsupported quack therapies and to support Andrew Wakefield, a man whose scaremongering has led to disastrous falls in vaccination levels among children."<br />*Please state your reference, and define your meaning of 'disasterous' witin this context.<br /><br />"Levels have fallen so far that measles - a potentially fatal or crippling disease,<br />*Please provide your comparison of the risks of Measles vs. risks of Autism and state sources to your conclusions of those risks<br /><br />"...even in countries with good levels of health care such as the UK - is now reported as once again being endemic here."<br /><br />*Provide source and specifics including how you define "endemic" <br /><br /> "Vaccination ... saved more lives worldwide than any other medical procedure."<br /><br />*State facts and sources please<br /><br />"Hosting a book signing by Mr Wakefield... and carrying out colonoscopies on vunerable autistic children for non-medically indicated reasons)"<br /><br />*Please show the source and facts that show that Dr. Andrew Wakefield had completed "non-medically indicated" colonoscopies on children with Autism.<br /><br />I am really desperately trying to research this topic from ALL sides to be able to make an educated decisions and learn more about the REAL story of Autism, Vaccines, Genes, Viruses, and everything inbetween. Including the good, the bad and all around. The truth's, lies, and all aspects: Medical, Social, Behavioral/etc.<br /><br />I have had a rough time finding the true realities of all of this because SO much that is 'out there' TO research includes personal attacks, whether offensively or defensively presented.<br />Unless FACTS are presented along with posts like yours for instance, how can anyone who is honestly looking for TRUE and REAL answers take your word, or anyone else's, seriously without any mention of any REAL background to your statements. <br />This is the first time I found your blog and is the only article I have read so far, but I cant seem to warrant reading any further or taking anything written her for more than what I read, just personal attacks, not just about Teri Arranga, but in your email to the Ritz. You say they failed to respond to your email. I have to say if I were in their shoes, I would not have responded either because of the lack of any real content, any real facts/figures/links to sources/etc. I think, if backed by true and honest and real and complete information, where you could show your points to be true and factual, I am willing to bet that the Ritz would have at the very least contacted you to find out further information, because with all honesty, no one should ever want to promote, for any amount of money, anything that does promote what you are claiming.<br /><br />My hope is that I learn as much as I can about this subject and all that relates to it, but to do that, I really hope that you can present the answers to my questions and show me, and everyone else that you are not doing the same thing that you are accussing someone else of, that you have actual facts and figures to your statements. I have found out thru my journey thru Autism education, that so much "information" on ALL sides of this topic have just continued to pass 'statements' on from one site to another, without linking sources, and statements said/written simply become consensus statements rather than the sharing of actual facts. I hope you can rise above and share your sources in an attempt to show you are, in fact, to be believed. That your facts are the real deal. It might help to also share how you are related to the Autism arena so that the readers can get a sense of where your opinions are stemming from.<br /> Please help, I appreciate it!

"I...Ha, I knew it! You are really Brian Deer!<br /><br />"<i>I have just read Rebecca Fisher's website for the first time. This is clearly not written by a woman with a child. The syntax, the phrasing, the scatology is remarkably similar to the postings by Brian Deer on other websites. Fisher even uses the same phrases - eg blithering idiot.<br />Is Rebecca Fisher really Brian Deer? If so, that is important."</i>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552709502481368673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154548573349610503.post-53249318763766143292010-07-05T10:40:10.281+01:002010-07-05T10:40:10.281+01:00I've noticed AoA applies "threatening&quo...I've noticed AoA applies "threatening" in very "inventive" ways. They described a letter I sent to Neurotoxiciology as "threatening". The only "threat" in the letter in question was that I informed them I would call for a boycott of their journal if they didn't pull Wakefield's last paper (and I did). Amusingly, when AoA referred to my letter deceptively and without acknowledgement, at least one commenter assumed it was from some Elsevier executive.<br /><br />I seriously suggest suing AoA for libel, and maybe plagiarism.
