And the addition of Dan...This is very well written. And the addition of Daniel Jackson makes it my favourite article for the day. <br /><br />Just to respond to the doctor above, Ive got one child with ASD, and one who is severely allergic to the DTPa. I myself developed Graves disease within a couple of weeks of a huge round of mandatory vaccines (I was studying nursing at the time), one of which I was forced into having even though I am known to be allergic to it. I also developed a cervical lesion as a result of Gardasil. Now, before you say it, there are several dozen articles stating exactly the same thing, and Japan recently dumped Gardasil because of it. So to tell me that its better to vaccinate myself and my kids and poppycock to the thought of them being dangerous, and that you will give me a round of "I told you so" when they get measles or varicella, all that shows me is that you are more concerned about your stats than your patients. I would much rather my kids have measles or varicella than risk more vaccine reactions. I am even listed at work as "DO NOT VACCINATE" on my staff health form. Yes, I am now a registered nurse.<br /><br />Good patient care is holistic, and focuses on the whole patient. It is not a bunch of ticks in a box.Busy lil' Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147772911184364775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648597699799551889.post-65783995467054649202013-08-22T14:40:02.933-04:002013-08-22T14:40:02.933-04:00Thank you for taking the time to leave your commen...Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment. <br /><br />I’m afraid I’m not sure where I stated “that doctors are just mindless drones that do as they're told and don't have the ability to think or that doctors are in the pockets of the big pharmaceutical companies.”<br /><br />If you would be so kind to take a moment to *actually read the post*, you might be better inclined to comment on it. <br /><br />I provided peer-reviewed published journal articles to supply reference on why there is valid concern for a conflict of interest between doctors and pharmaceutical representatives, as well as published data funded by pharmaceutical manufacturers regarding vaccine research. <br /><br />On a side note, I would suggest not telling your patients “I told you so” whether they vaccinate or not as it would only illustrate your lack of professionalism. <br /><br />Good luck to you. <br />AmandaRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057331670582864051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648597699799551889.post-7033123176485206182013-08-20T13:31:55.717-04:002013-08-20T13:31:55.717-04:00Your article states that doctors are just mindless...Your article states that doctors are just mindless drones that do as they're told and don't have the ability to think. You also say that doctors are in the pockets of the big pharmaceutical companies.<br /><br />As a doctor I am incredibly offended by these false statements. Some doctors are as you say, but most are not. I don't just mindlessly tell patients to do things. Before I recommend, I think and interpret myself.<br /><br />Remember that doctors are people and parents too! And non-vaccinators who read poor sources of information like in this article, also mindlessly follow recommendations to avoid vaccines. <br /><br />The fact is there are now outbreaks of diseases that are prevented/reduced by vaccines. When your unvaccinated child falls ill with a preventable disease, I will still provide the best care possible, but I won't hold back on the "I told you so's."<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15071953550964517091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648597699799551889.post-39648032143069048602013-08-19T12:49:28.779-04:002013-08-19T12:49:28.779-04:00Thank you for intellectually adding to the post Br...Thank you for intellectually adding to the post Brian.AmandaRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057331670582864051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648597699799551889.post-9964653364817554742013-08-19T12:46:27.022-04:002013-08-19T12:46:27.022-04:00Poppycock.
