A young boy on the beach was throwing the washed-up starfish back into the

ocean. A stranger passing by told him not to bother, because it would not make

any difference, there were thousands of beaches and millions of starfish, and it

would not be possible to save all of them. The boy reached down, picked up a

starfish, threw it back into the ocean and said, smiling softly, " I made a

difference for that one! "

NVIC E-news Barbara Loe Fisher Commentary:

When she was not yet a superstar or even broadcasting nationally, in early

1985 a friend gave Oprah a copy of " DPT: A Shot in the Dark, " which was the first

report of an association between autism and vaccination. " We're waiting until it

comes out in paperback, " a producer told her friend. The paperback version was

published in 1986 but, by then, Oprah had starred in " The Color Purple, " her

show had been nationally syndicated and the vaccine safety debate had become a

heated controversy. Over the last two decades, many parents of vaccine injured

children have written letters to Oprah in hopes that she would do a show about

vaccine risks.

 

Yesterday, after 22 years, Oprah finally talked about vaccine injured children

when she interviewed Hollywood Moms, Jenny McCarthy and Holly Peete. Jenny has

written a book on her experience of watching her two and a half year old son

regress into autism after an MMR shot.

 

On the show, Jenny talked about the increases in autism among children and asked

what parents of vaccine injured children have been asking for a quarter century:

" What number will it take for people just to start listening to what the mothers

of children who have seen autism have been saying for years, which is, 'We

vaccinated our baby and something happened. "

 

Jenny says even before Evan received his vaccines, she tried to talk to her

pediatrician about it. " Right before his MMR shot, I said to the doctor, " I have

a very bad feeling about this shot. This is the autism shot, isn't it?' And he

said, 'No, that is ridiculous. It is a mother's desperate attempt to blame

something,' and he swore at me, and then the nurse gave [Evan] the shot, " she

says. " And I remember going, 'Oh, God, I hope he's right.' And soon

thereafter-boom-the soul's gone from his eyes. "

 

The CDC's prepared response to a query from the Oprah Show staff about whether

there is a link between autism and vaccines was " CDC places a high priority on

vaccine safety and the integrity and credibility of its vaccine safety research.

This commitment not only stems from our scientific and medical dedication, it is

also personal-for most of us who work at CDC are also parents and grandparents.

And as such, we too, have high levels of personal interest and concern in the

health and safety of children, families and communities. We simply don't know

what causes most cases of autism, but we're doing everything we can to find out.

The vast majority of science to date does not support an association between

thimerosal in vaccines and autism. But we are currently conducting additional

studies to further determine what role, if any, thimerosal in vaccines may play

in the development of autism. It is important to remember, vaccines protect and

save lives. Vaccines protect

infants, children and adults from the unnecessary harm and premature death

caused by vaccine-preventable diseases. "

 

It is curious that the CDC would confine its response regarding the

autism-vaccine connection to thimerosal, when MMR vaccine has been strongly

associated with regressive autism and live virus MMR vaccine never contained

thimerosal. The National Vaccine Information Center, which has operated a

Vaccine Reaction Registry since 1982, continues to receive reports from parents

describing how their children regressed after receiving live virus or non-

mercury containing vaccines, often after being given 8 to 12 vaccines on one

day. The most heart-breaking stories are when children are vaccinated over and

over again despite deteriorating health because their pediatricians are in

denial about vaccine risks.

 

Jenny McCarthy gave a star turn on Oprah when she clearly, simply and

passionately described what happened to her son after vaccination and how she

was empowered by information she found on the internet to find ways to cure his

vaccine-associated regressive autism. She listened to her mother's instinct and

pursued a course of treatment that involved nutrition and other alternative

therapies. It is a story of a mother's love and determination to heal her son

after he was given the diagnosis of autism, a neuroimmune disorder that so many

pediatricians are taught is untreatable.

 

In the early 1990's, a mother in California, Cindy Goldenberg, was the first Mom

to cure her son of regressive autism by listening to her mother's instincts and

doing her own research into vaccine-induced neuroimmune dysfunction. Her son

experienced regressive autism after receiving MMR vaccine. Cindy sought out IVIG

therapy as well as nutritional and probiotic therapies that she said " healed his

gut. " Her son was soon in a regular classroom and this year he graduated from

high school.

 

As of last night, there were nearly 2,000 messages, primarily from Moms, for

Jenny and Holly posted on Oprah's website at

Bravo, Oprah. You allowed Jenny to tell it like it is. You have helped millions

of Moms across America understand what happened to their children, who changed

physically, mentally and emotionally after getting vaccinated, and now suffer

with autism and other kinds of vaccine-induced brain and immune system

dysfunction such as learning disabilities, ADHD, seizure disorders, asthma, and

diabetes.

 

If your child stopped speaking, wouldn't look you in the eye and

completely ignored the world around them, what would you do? In her new book,

Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism, actress Jenny McCarthy

shares her emotional story of diagnosis, hope, faith and recovery-a journey many

thousands of parents now face.
