An Epidemic of Fear

TravisTheSky

Is the man from the article going to take 100,000 (or 10,000) vaccines at once to put the public at ease?

That's one hell of a statement to make, but not if he won't back it up.

indeed!
wow.....a LOT of information, very, very interesting.
there was so much in it, but this was one of many comments that stood out for me:

"According to science journalist Michael Specter, author of the new book Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet and Threatens Our Lives, the controversy surrounding vaccine safety has made lack of expertise a requirement when choosing members of prominent advisory panels on the issue. “It’s shocking,” Specter says. “We live in a country where it’s actually a detriment to be an expert about something.” When expertise is diminished to such an extent, irrationality and fear can run amok."



thanks for posting.

he still stands

Well, I guess it is more of a postulation than a theory since I have no hypothethis or test, and it has nothing to do with vaccines, mercury, thermisol, formaldehyde, pesticides, frankenfoods, or anything other foreign chemicals to the human body; autism is a psychological disease causes by poor imprints.

Imprints are the highly influential psychological events that influence our actions for the rest of our lives (unless one is intelligent enough to "reprogram" yourself). The first imprint takes place in infancy and forms the "oral/biosurvival circuit" of the brain. This imprint is an event that tells us to "run home" when things get tough, to seek warmth, in humans it causes oral "fixations", and in general it is necessary for survival. All mammals have this circuit built-in to their mid-brain. Any trauma during the imprint period can cause lasting side effects of the psyche and various mental conditions and excessive oral fixations such as smoking, overeating, and so forth. I don't think that autism is formed by a faulty imprint of this circuit, but a faulty imprint, or total lack thereof, of the second circuit.

The second circuit is the anal/territorial circuit that is formed as children begin to crawl or walk and realize who is "top dog," who they can or cannot influence with their emotions, who is dominant/submissive in the household, who owns the territory and who is the servant, and we all learn about structure and routine in this period - something that is very confusing and foreign to a new primate. During the imprint of this circuit, anger, hostility, rage or other negative emotions can cause lasting psychological damage. The imprint can be a single and specific event such as the father yelling at a 1or 2 year old and slapping him/her. It can be something much less incinduous with little or no explanation about "why" the imprint occured at that specific moment, or it could be that this imprint never occured and the child went from the oral circuit straight to the "mind" circuit - the time-binding semantic circuit. So if the 1 year old goes straight from the oral circuit to the semantic circuit (the "computer" mind) without learning about structure, routine and societal norms that should be learned in the 2nd circuit, the ramifications of this may include autism.

Now, of course this is all conjecture based upon my knowledge of Tim Leary's "8 Circuits of Consciousness" model of psychology. Even mentioning that this is based on somthing Tim Leary wrote will discredit it in the eyes of many people. But it is based on science, or if you have beef with Tim Leary you can go ahead and call it pseudo-science.

I think that most mental disorders, maybe all of them - including autism, are caused by the mysterious psychological imprints during infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Maybe we ought to be looking deeper into these factors, as psychological is still in the dark ages relative to other sciences, rather than searching for a needle in the haystack of chemicals and pollutants that we are all subject to? I think we ought to consider both.

I think the basis of the reason many people may be opting out of vaxing their kids could be many reasons, but, because the origin of Autism is still unknown, people are naturally fearing the vaccines BECAUSE Autism is becoming more and more of an epidemic. It hasn't been completely ruled out that mercury is not a cause of Autism. No one really seems to know still what causes it.

I'm not against vaxing my child, but if one thinks about the sheer number of vacs a 2 year old has already had in it's short lifetime, it's A LOT.

And I notice Kaiser Permanente quoted in the article. How interesting that the world's largest insurance beast also has a hospital and are regarded as a sane source for health info. :roll:

we give more vaccinations to our children than any other nation in the world.

also, in 1989 the amount of vaccinations we give our children more than doubled but why?
