It’s been years since I’ve talked to those families, but at the time, nobody was trying to do tests to see why their children reacted to the vaccines the way they did. As a matter of fact, they were told that the vaccines couldn’t cause those problems, and were pretty much shut down by doctors and government officials when they tried to report it. With one family of the two that we’ve known, their pediatrician refused to treat their children after that (don’t remember specifics about the other, but don’t believe they got much assistance from the medical community or the related government agencies, either). That smells an awful lot like a coverup.

That last sentence really took me by surprise. On that tiny amount of second-hand information, you smell a cover up? Your friends were probably despondent and maybe angry and who knows what really happened. If a pediatrician really did refuse to treat their children, my guess would be it had a lot more to do with their unreasonableness or their (understandable) hysteria than with any government cover up. Also, I don’t think a cover up would work unless all the doctors were in on it. Were they able to find a pediatrician to take their child as a patient? Was that doctor involved in the cover up or not? If he wasn’t involved, why didn’t he report the cover up? Did they ask him about the cover up? Did he say, “I can’t report it because I’m afraid” or something like that? If he was involved, did he convince them about the “official message” from the government that vaccines don’t cause autism? The more questions you ask, the sillier it gets. Or do those questions seem reasonable to you?

Until those particular patients are studied (all of the patients that had that a “coincidental” reaction within ~24 hours of being vaccinated), then we don’t know nearly as much about these vaccines and the possible reactions to them as you’d like to think we do.[/quote]
So you’re saying that until we study every single coincidental reaction we don’t know as much about the vaccine as I’d like to think we do? This, to me, appears to illustrate your lack of understanding of how science works to understand these things. Perhaps this is at the root of your refusal to accept what science has found.
