Oprah interview on vaccine dangers
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 swore at me...
And the MMR shot doesn't even have any mercury!

Jenny McCarthy on Oprah: Vaccine Injury
Barbara Loe Fisher Commentary:
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.
