We Are Science Experiments

In this episode, I am providing commentary on a Vax Talk podcast episode "Ep. 65: Dr. Offit’s Take on Aluminum" which was in response to a CDC study that had just been published that found an association between vaccine aluminum exposure prior to 2 years old and asthma in children over 2 years old. 

The Vax Talk podcast host quickly had on Dr. Paul Offit to reinforce the safety of aluminum adjuvants in vaccines and downplay the findings of the study--and I just couldn't let that slide! 

So here's my take...

On this episode, I interview Rebecca Crane, whose first child was found blue and not breathing a few days after the 4 month "well baby" shots. Rebecca goes into detail about Skylar's vaccine injury (which includes seizures, a month long hospitalization, and months of physical therapy to help her recover) and how her petition was recently awarded compensation in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Since 1988, the NVICP program has paid out over $4.9 billion for vaccine injuries. In order to qualify for a petition, a person's vaccine injury must narrowly fit the list of table injuries, which is quite limited, and have narrow windows of time. For example, many extreme reactions must occur or begin to occur within 72 hours of a vaccine in order to qualify; some are as narrow as 4 hours from the vaccine. SIDS is not a table injury.

There is one medical invention that amplified our fear of microbes while simultaneously compelled us to inject pieces of them into our bodies: That is the syringe. 

What is it, where did it come from, how did we get to the point where we were ok with injecting foreign substances for the benefit of human health? Travel back in time with me, let's find out!

The true story of how a few cases of swine flu at a military base in New Jersey in early 1976 snowballed into a massive nationwide vaccination campaign to "vaccinate every man, woman and child" ultimately and disastrously, backfired.
