(Michelle Denouement is ranting about antivaxxers)
Michelle: Right now in Brooklyn, there’s a ickleing measles epidemic. My 6 year old son Jordan is vaccinated against it, but his almost 11 month old little sister Willow isn’t, because she’s too young. That ickleing scares me as a parent, that my little girl could catch something that could have been avoided if parents got their kids who can be vaccinated the vaccines. And guess what? Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. There has been a meta study of 14 million people that proved that vaccines do not cause autism. Plus, I’m autistic and it’s not the end of the world. I’m married, I run a recording business and a YouTube channel with 3 million subscribers, I have two kids, and I have college degrees from Oberlin and Columbia. Yes, I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 30, but I’m still autistic.
I just wondered what research anyone had come across about vaccines. I have read quite a few books on health and diet, and I think I am of the opinion that if someone is healthy enough to get a vaccine, they should get it in order to lessen the chance of eventually passing such a disease on to someone who is too ill or at some other risk to get the vaccine. I have a one year old. She just got the MMR, and I am thankful she is healthy and could get the shot, especially since measles is going around. She does not seem to have had any adverse effects by getting the shot.
I don't necessarily think the study that linked autism and vaccines should be completely swept under the rug, because you have to look at who funded the counter-arguments, which I think was probably some big pharma people. That's not to say the study was right, but you just really have to look at who funds the counter studies, and actually read whether their data supports what they are claiming or not. Unfortunately, people who write papers or do studies usually have some sort of monetary influence over them. It's hard to find unbiased studies on health.
I can't remember exactly which books I read about vaccines in, but I think there was information in Brett Finlay's Let them eat Dirt and another book called Dirt is Good by Gilbert and Knight, and I know I read about them in Dr. Campbell-McBride's Gut and Psychology Syndrome. Her take was that if you have a family history of immune system disorders or siblings with autism, it would be best not to get vaccines. She doesn't say vaccines cause autism, she says if you have the markers for autism, the vaccine could push your immune system over the edge. Gut health and mental health are very, very connected. If your gut is in a very bad state, this causes your mental health to be in a bad state as well. But what Finlay's book says is that antibiotics really reek havoc on the gut, and children who didn't show signs of autism before might develop it after antibiotics, but some children can get better after having an FMT, because getting matter from a healthy person can restore your gut health. But it's not a cure-all for everyone with autism, especially if you are older.
I don't pretend to know everything about autism, gut health, etc. I have just read a lot. I am wondering if others have read about links between antibiotics, vaccines, autism, too.
