The vaccine episode of “The Doctors,” a spinoff of the Dr. Phil show, finally aired. You might recall we wrote that it was, according to one of the parents who appeared on the show, suddenly delayed the week it was to air.
Here’s a pared-down version of the episode.:

It’s easy to sit up and take notice. What is difficult is getting up and taking action. - Al Batt
130 + cases of measles and the CDC is concerned about an epidemic, yet 1 in 150 children and 1 in 94 children in NJ have autism? WHAT is the CDC doing to help these children and their families address this epidemic??
At the end of the show, the doc on the right stated that the guest was upset because she experienced a terrible tragedy…1 in 150 children and their families in this nation has experienced a terrible tragedy.
Stand up and take action!
Just curious to what you say is the reason a child who hasn’t been vaccinated end up with Autism? A lot more research needs to be done because it’s not a vaccine issue, it’s roots are much more planted then that.
Is it possible that vaccinations from a CHild’s parents can effect them? How do we know? Some do not believe vaccinations are an issue concerning Autism, but where is the research that shows the part vaccinations play on the body even years and years later? Where is this research? And also vaccination manufacturers make a killing from the sale of their products. This is a product that ALL American children are required to have. American citizens are forced to give religious or medical reason for not having their children take them. However the manufacturers aren’t required to answer public concern about any resulting health issues these products may cause. Furthermore, most states will not allow a parent to have a philosophical reason or simple refusal to not have these immunizations. ANd why is that when there is no accountability and the manufacturers have no real responsibility to the public to disclose how much they really protect the public. All the while they make this money which amounts to nothing more than mandated profit in their hands. If they protect the public so, why isn’t there ongong research on how and this info disclosed to the public??? While they may or may not protect the public, how much do citizens know about them? How often do doctors take the time to candidly discuss them, the very real side effects and ingredients? WHere is the accountability? While there really is none. It hasn’t been until now that serious health issues are coming to bear on American children that important questions are being asked. Nothing should be taken for granted regarding these vaccinations and real answers should be sought out and discussed with the public!
