OK - Here's my answer again.


I am disliking Bush more & more as time goes by, but you got this one wrong!

During Bush's reelection campaign in 2004 he stated:

"During a second term as President, I will continue to support increased funding to support a wide variety of research initiatives aimed at seeking definitive causes and/or triggers of autism. It is important to note that while there are many possible theories about causes or triggers of autism, no one material has been definitely included or excluded."

They stopped using Thimerisol, the mercury based preservative, in 2001. The last of the older batches that still had it expired in Jan of 2003. Yet the rate still keeps climbing. Since autism is most typically diagnosed at the age of 3 years, & the shots which get them blame are given between the 1st & 2nd year, if Thimerisol was responsible for autism, the rate would start to drop around 2003 & drop to it's lowest by 2006. Bush's quote was made before the stats were all in.

NOW that they ARE in, it is clear that Thimerisol was NOT a significant factor in autism! If it was, we would be experiencing a major drop!

Perhaps this is why Bush will not ban it's use in the one childhood vaccine it is still used in.

Answer 2

Have you read the bill???

The threat of veto is focused on the provisions added to the bill that have nothing to do with immunizations.

Further, the FDA and the CDC and 99.9 percent of all respected, peer reviewed medical journals disagree with the junk science that links autism to vaccines.

The evidence just isn't there.


further even still.... you warn us to read the article before posting something that we might be embarrassed about, yet you haven't read the bill???? Who should be embarrassed????

Answer 3

Doesn't surprise me at all. Bush promised to do alot of things
JUST to get into office. Then backed out of every one! This country is wide open for another attack and with an idiot in charge we're all doomed. IMPEACH THE MORON!!!!!!

Answer 4

Have you actually read the provisions of the bill itself, or are you relying on 3rd party versions? There is actually much more to the bill than you have indicated - and certainly more than most news stories are willing to deal with.

Answer 5

Think about it.

The pharmaceutical companies would have to recall their product and develop new vaccines, that would cost the companies too much money.

United States presidents no longer make decisions based on the peoples need, but the needs of large companies and corporations.

Answer 6

you bet ye, I am embarrassed to even read the question.

Answer 7

Good one Jackie. I'm LMAO

Answer 8

I don't feel anything about bush anymore - nothing. I'm empty.

Answer 9
