First, he is not a Dr. Do not call him such.

Second, his "data" has been debunked. His theories found out to be lies. Why continue to spread this?

As research is expensive, it tends to get funded by people with a vested interest in a particular outcome.

http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/view/205/
Adverse drug reactions,[3] they acknowledge, is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

I call bullshit. Out of the dozen or so deaths I have known, not a single one was caused by an adverse drug reaction. The only way that this statement could possibly be true is if it includes fatalities caused by overdoses of illegal drugs, in which case slipping it into a discussion of reactions to legally prescribed medications is unethical as hell.

From the FDA:

http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/DevelopmentResources/DrugInteractionsLabeling/ucm114848.htm

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why Learn about Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR)?Institute of Medicine, National Academy Press, 2000 Lazarou J et al. JAMA 1998;279(15):1200–1205
Gurwitz JH et al. Am J Med 2000;109(2):87–94

Over 2 MILLION serious ADRs yearly

100,000 DEATHS yearly

ADRs 4th leading cause of death ahead of pulmonary disease, diabetes, AIDS, pneumonia, accidents and automobile deaths

Ambulatory patients ADR rate—unknown

Nursing home patients ADR rate— 350,000 yearly

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thousands more where that came from; JAMA (700+ ADR reports/studies from that source alone), European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, WHO, et. al.

This could get ugly - it probably belongs in P&R.

I'm not going to go into all of my research or the reasons for my decision, but I will say that my nearly 3-year-old has never received a vaccine, and will not for many years to come, if at all. When he's old enough to decide for himself that he wants toxic chemicals shot directly into his veins, he's free to do so. But I'm not going to pay for him to be poisoned.
