Re: Choices Within the System
Are you saying that the anomalies don't need to be addressed. That the children that fall into that 1% error (or whatever the number is for each vaccine) are of no concern? They are expendable?
Any and all medications have risks.
It is simply that public tolerance of vaccine risk is lower (thanks in large part to Antivax Hysterics).
Public tolerance of the risks associated with aspirin is high.
Furthermore, adverse reactions to vaccines come in more than one flavor:
Vaccine reaction
Caused by inherent properties of the vaccine
Programmatic errors
Caused by preparation, handling or administration error
Coincidental
Occurs after the vaccine but not caused by the vaccine
Injection reaction
Anxiety or pain caused by the injection but not the vaccine itself
Perhaps you'd like to provide evidence of the first sort: caused by the vaccine itself.

I'm calling BS on this one
Did you even bother to read this site?
http://zmagsite.zmag.org/Aug2003/born0803.html
Dr. Edward Jenner, the creator of the smallpox vaccine in 1796, based the vaccine on a mistaken superstition that milkmaids or farmers who had been infected with cowpox developed immunity to smallpox. (Cowpox is a non-lethal, ulcerative disease on the udders of a cow that sometimes causes ulcers on the hands of milkmaids or farmers who milk them.) But as historical records show, many of Jenner’s medical contemporaries immediately disputed his claim by noting that had he polled any number of veterinarians in his county, he could have easily uncovered dozens of cases of smallpox in humans that had followed infection by cowpox. This supposition”that cowpox gives humans natural immunity from smallpox”was never proven by Jenner, or any other practitioner of vaccination from his era, and has never been tested or proven by any of the pharmaceuticals who produce the vaccine today. The very basis of the smallpox vaccine is fundamentally flawed.
I'm not even going to address the rest of your post until you justify this nonsense.
ABE:
Good christ. Again with no cites.
OK. Here's how we're gonna play this.
Until you provide evidence to the contrary, I am going to assume that Lynne made all this shit up.

Hearsay and vaccines
I have tried to provide some here.
No. What you've done is pass along hearsay.
And with both posts, I have gone to the original paper and found absolutely no link between what the authors of the websites claim and what the paper says.
You need to go to pubmed.
Do you understand, Lindalou?
YOU need to go to pubmed.
YOU need to read at least the abstracts.
YOU need to evaluate the evidence.
Now. Why don't you take some time, when you have time, to address the points I made here:

I'm calling BS on this one too...
BTW the US may be gaining ground with life expectancy, but it still lags behind 40 other nations. Andorra, in the Pyrenees, has a life expectancy of 83.5 years. (More info here).
From the story you cited:
Cancer deaths were also up.
Cancer deaths are down across the board, and have been dropping for 20 years.
Cancer deaths have been dropping by 2.1% every year since 2002.
A turning point came in 2002, scientists conclude Monday in the annual "Report to the Nation" on cancer. Between 2002 and 2004, death rates dropped by an average of 2.1 percent a year.
That may not sound like much, but between 1993 and 2001, deaths rates dropped on average 1.1 percent a year. http://news.bostonherald.com/news/national/general/view.bg

Re: Choices Within the System
Let's try a new tack.
Child car seats are mandatory.
Child car seats have caused deaths.
Should child car seats therefore be optional?

OMG this is funny...
I just stumbled across a vax blog that has a quiz for Antivax Hysterics.
The Millenium Project – 404 page not found
It's like the guy's been eavesdropping on the conversation here!

Antivax Hysterics' Abuse of the Scientific Literature
Lindalou, this one's for you.
The Anti-Immunization Activists: A Pattern of Deception
Dr. Friedlander has taken it upon himself to show in nauseating detail how Antivax Hysterics misuse scientific literature.
You will note he is sympathetic to "alternative" medicine. So he should have some street cred in your book.

Re: I'm calling BS on this one
Lindalou, I will save a more detailed response to your latest hearsay post for the next generation of this thread.
Wounded has already called BS on Dr. Neulander as an Antivax Hysteric, so I'd just like to add this:
The cites from the "mainstream journals" of which you are so fond are from 1868, 1884, 1889, 1891, 1893, 1896, 1928, 1960, 1972, 1976, 1979.
Of the 22 cites, only 2 are from 1990s.
One of which has nothing to do with vaccines.
Over half the cites are from the 19th century.
I am not about the engage in a serious discussion of 140 year old cites.
Your second link again has no cites.
Until you provide evidence to the contrary, I am going to assume that Gary made all that shit up.
Lindalou. In all seriousness, take a long hard look at the "evidence" you have offered time and again.
Half the time they are more than likely fabrications as they provide no supporting cites from the relevant literature.
The other half use cites that are anywhere from 100 to 40 years old.
Find an Antivax Hysteric website that uses cites less than 40 y.o. then we'll talk.
