All hail the FO Cult Mother!
the topic of this thread says flu and that is the vaccine that I was referring to
AMISH COLONIES DON'T VACCINATE, AMISH PEOPLE DON'T GET AUTISM or DISEASES that vaccines supposedly protect you from!!
Do The Amish Vaccinate? Indeed They Do, AND Their Autism Rates May be Lower
I just read, for the umpteenth time, a statement that "the Amish don't vaccinate, and that's why there are no Amish people with autism." This statement draws, in part, from claims by Age of Autism writer Dan Olmsted - and, at least in this case, Mr. Olmsted is wrong. I got my first inkling that this myth was, in fact, a myth, when I read this piece in the Combatting Autism from Within website:
- The idea that the Amish do not vaccinate their children is untrue,” says Dr. Kevin Strauss, MD, a pediatrician at the CSC. “We run a weekly vaccination clinic and it’s very busy.” He says Amish vaccinations rates are lower than the general population’s, but younger Amish are more likely to be vaccinated than older generations.
Strauss also sees plenty of Amish children showing symptoms of autism. “Autism isn’t a diagnosis - it’s a description of behavior. We see autistic behaviors along with seizure disorders or mental retardation or a genetic disorder, where the autism is part of a more complicated clinical spectrum.” Fragile X syndrome and Retts is also common among the clinic’s patients.
Strauss said the clinic treats “syndromic autism”, where autism as part of a more complicated clinical spectrum that can include mental retardation, chromosomal abnormalities, unusual facial features, and short stature, as well as Fragile X syndrome. “We see quite a few Amish children with Fragile X,” he said.
vaccine denial can be dangerous but I will never get a flu vaccine because mounting evidence shows that they do more harm than good
... Do NOT let an anonymous forum-poster cloud your judgement. YouTube is a not a substitute for profesisonal knowledge. Random "advice" from strangers on the Internet is not fact ...

Hoh hum... I actually humored you... and guess what the first link said...

I did what you said, and the results said that you are wrong.

This "conspiracy thingy" where everybody is bashing each others head with thruth is getting quit a Monthy Python-level you know...
Which again comes back to the same one reporter... UPI reporter Dan Olmsted... who claims "I didn't find any autistic amish children".Look at this article.
I usually prefer the Dead Parrot as an analogy. Trying to tell an anti-vaxer or any other conspiracy theorist that they are full of shit is akin to Cleese trying to tell Palin that the parrot is no more... that it has ceased to be... it's expired and gone to meet its maker... this(!) is a late parrot! It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies. It's run down the curtain and joined the chior invisible. This... is an ex(!) parrot.
No one is going to listen to anyones opinion on this forum. But thanks for your concern anyway.
