Girl’s Autism Symptoms Linked to Vaccines
Federal health officials have conceded that several vaccines
contributed to autism-like symptoms in a 9-year-old girl, Hannah
Poling. For years, there’s been debate among parents, researchers, and
the government over whether a mercury-based preservative in vaccines,
thimerosal, causes autism. Read the full story.

“Most people are advocates of vaccinating, and that seems like the
logical route to go. However, the thought of a possible link between
autism and vaccines completely terrifies me. How is a mother supposed
to make that decision?“

Fisher Price recall…
These kinds of things piss me off. My husband sent me a text message saying, “did you hear anything about a Mattel recall for lead paint on stuff made in China?” Well, that’s pretty vague, so I look it up (safety site), and turns out there’s a HUGE recall on a bunch of Fisher Price toys - mostly Sesame Street, Dora and Diego toys. My son has three things on the list. Two of them are sets of multiple little rubber figures - perfect for teething toddlers, unless of course, they’re coated in LEAD PAINT! Shit!
So now I have to take away all of my kid’s Dora figures, including his favorite, Swiper the Fox, who’s head he chews on regularly to relieve his considerable teething pain. That crap better not have poisoned my kid, or I’m going to go Erin Brokovich on their dumb-asses.
Seriously. Is nothing safe? I’m pissed.
Sorry for all the cursing.
