Story at a glance: 

• For over a century, vaccination has repeatedly been linked to severe neurological injuries, including brain damage. Many modern studies show a three- to sevenfold increase in common chronic illnesses.
• In order to avoid this significant liability, all research into vaccine injuries (and many other catastrophes, such as those involving Agent Orange) was suppressed, enabling health authorities to claim that there was 'no evidence' of harm caused by vaccines.
• Another scheme involved redefining brain injury as 'autism' rather than 'encephalitis', for which the US government was legally required to provide compensation.
• Previously, children with significant brain damage from vaccines were referred to as 'mentally retarded'. However, after a multi-decade campaign to eliminate the term, they were instead diagnosed as autistic — a vague term that groups together severe and minor disabilities, thereby effectively concealing severe cases from public awareness.
• This article will reveal the manipulative techniques and wordplay that have been used to hide vaccine injuries from public awareness. Now is the time to end this atrocity once and for all.

More quack nonsense by misinformers and anonymous bloggers:

 

 

"Overall, we rate Mercola.com a Quackery-level pseudoscience website that sometimes advocates for dangerous, inaction or action, to serious health issues."

 

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/mercola/

 

 

"A Midwestern doctor" -- yet another in the poster's endless repertoire of ANONYMOUS anti-vax bloggers of totally unknown credentials and credibility.

 

Real and credible sources on public health and medical matters don't hide beyond ANONYMOUS Substack blogs.... They publish their findings under their own names, often in peer reviewed medical journals.... But no, not this snake oil peddler.

 

--AI supported

 

Hmm... "The author has written in favor of unproven or controversial treatments."  That certainly sounds like a died-in-the-wool anti-vaxer.

 

Is he really a doctor?  Maybe he's a quack doctor like the anti-vaxers favorite doctor, Peter McCullough, who was stripped on his medical board certifications for posting COVID misinformation, and has had studies published under his name retracted by journals that found his claims unsupported by his evidence.

 

Or perhaps he's Pierre Kory, another anti-vaxer doctor who likewise was stripped of his board certifications for peddling COVID misinformation nonsense, and likewise had some of his published research retracted.

Or maybe the Midwestern Doctor isn't really a doctor at all... Who knows? The only thing we really know is he or she is some anonymous anti-vaxer hiding behind an anonymous blog who's make documented dubious claims in the past. Buyer beware!!!

Well, if the comment is coming from Mercola, you can make your own judgments about its level of credibility:

 

"Overall, we rate Mercola.com a Quackery-level pseudoscience website that sometimes advocates for dangerous, inaction or action, to serious health issues."

...

"In review, Mercola and colleagues advocate many unproven alternative health notions, including homeopathy, while promoting anti-vaccine positions. Further, in 2011, Joseph Mercola donated 1 million dollars to an organization that opposes vaccinations. They also claim increased cancer risks from mobile devices, labeled pseudoscience by scientists’ consensus. In general, they frequently promote pseudoscience and make false claims."

PS - no legitimate doctor, other than anti-vaxer quacks, is going to spend their time reading the nonsense that Mercola peddles on his website.

More rubbish:

 

Fact Checked: Vaccines: Safe and Effective, No Link to Autism

"Some individuals wrongly assert there is a link between vaccines and autism. Before the claim was discredited, researchers took it seriously, investigated it thoroughly, and found no link. This research, in many countries, involving thousands of individuals, has spanned multiple decades. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to our autistic community.    

...

Studies have repeatedly found no credible link between life-saving childhood vaccines and autism. The original report claiming that the MMR vaccine causes autism was retracted due to fraudulent data, and the report’s author was sanctioned by scientific bodies and lost his license to practice medicine. [emphasis added]

 

American Academy of Pediatrics

Background on the above:

Lancet retracts 12-year-old article linking autism to MMR vaccines

2010 Feb 4

 

"Twelve years after publishing a landmark study that turned tens of thousands of parents around the world against the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine because of an implied link between vaccinations and autism, The Lancet has retracted the paper.

 

In a statement published on Feb. 2, the British medical journal said that it is now clear that “several elements” of a 1998 paper it published by Dr. Andrew Wakefield and his colleagues (Lancet 1998;351[9103]:637–41) “are incorrect, contrary to the findings of an earlier investigation.”

 

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2831678/

 

AND

 

Andrew Wakefield

'Andrew Jeremy Wakefield (born 3 September 1956^[4][5][a]) is an English fraudster, anti-vaccine activist, and former senior surgeon. He was struck off the medical register for "serious professional misconduct"[8] due to his involvement in the fraudulent 1998 Lancet MMR autism study that falsely claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism." [emhasis added]

...

In 2010, the GMC found that Wakefield had been dishonest in his research, had acted against patients' best interests, mistreated developmentally delayed children,

...

Three months later, Wakefield was struck off the UK medical register, in part for his deliberate falsification of research published in The Lancet.[8][22] In a related legal decision, a British court held that "[t]here is now no respectable body of opinion which supports [Wakefield's] hypothesis, that MMR vaccine and autism/enterocolitis are causally linked"

Did Andrew Wakefield move to the "Midwest" somewhere along the way???

You have repeatedly said that you are the messenger.

 

 

Please provide at least three credible, large-scale studies that are peer-reviewed and published in leading medical journals.

You and TallGuy need to  get a life 🙂 You both are so entrenched in your beliefs that it is pointless discussing alternative perspectives.
