This is what is considered a "new" normal

[runes]

This is not acceptable.

"Screaming baby syndrome"?

"Typical" MMR seizure?

No.

Just, no.

Yikes!

My first son had seizures after his 6 months DTAP. None of my children have been vaccinated since then.

That is just terrible! Why do people think this is better than measles?

[Mama~Love]

: Wow, unbelieveable!! "Screaming baby syndrome", "classic MMR seizure"???? These are NORMAL now??? I thought they were VACCINE REACTIONS, meaning that the child was somehow negatively affected by a vaccine.

This is truly horrible!!

Nah, come on, Mama~Love--those little toddlers are just having a psychological reaction. It's just typical little kid hysterics and not their brain swelling or anything like that...

Jeez. It's all just a coincidence!

Oh, I forgot that VACCINES ARE SAFE, because Paul Offit says so. Silly me, what was I thinking?

Well heck, don't they only count vaccine reactions as vaccine reactions if they occur within 48 hours or something assinine like that? So CLEARLY his "classic MMR seizure" wasn't at all caused by the vaccine...

My DS had his first seizure 45 minutes after his DTAP and I STILL could not get Health Canada to record it as an adverse vaccine reaction because I could not definitively prove that the vaccine caused the seizure. :

Good Lord... it worries me that I live in a world that seems to be run by idiots! I think when we adopted the "scientific proof" of everything theory, our common sense went out the window!

I'm really not sure, but I will say that I live in Canada and if it *is* for Canada, I have NEVER been told about it. So when you consider the number of parents that vax and the number of "possible" reactions, I know for certain the recorded reactions is no where NEAR where they should be.

It's horrible that "screaming baby syndrome" and seizures could be considered normal. I have to wonder what's wrong with the parents that don't question these things? When my babies screamed, there was always a reason for it. These things don't just happen for no reason. :

[Fyrestorm]

The more 'NORMAL' they make it, the less vaccine reactions have to be reported...the safer vaccines are - twisted thinking...isn't it?

[MyBoysBlue]

Canada has a voluntary program call CAEFISS that is for the country but some provinces have their own mandatory programs.

I'm disgusted beyond words.....

[jammomma]

It is just all so sad. We live in a world where "screaming baby syndrome" and MMR seizures are being normalized, just so people such as Paul Offit can profit off of a drug, the consequences be damned.

[twinsplusone]

you have GOT to be kidding!!!!
WHAT the %&^( is wrong with these people?!?!?!!?
