Bernadine Healy, MD on the Hypothesis That Vaccines Cause Autism
I think the public health officials have been too quick to dismiss the hypothesis [that vaccines cause autism] as ‘irrational,’ without sufficient studies of causation. I think they’ve been too quick to dismiss studies in the animal laboratory, either in mice, in primates that do show some concern with regard to certain vaccines and also to the mercury preservative in vaccines. I think the public health officials have been too quick to dismiss the hypothesis [that vaccines cause autism] as ‘irrational,’ without…
Barbara Loe Fisher on Patterns of Adverse Reactions to Vaccines
Mothers […] describe how, within days of vaccination, their babies run fevers; scream for hours, fall into a deep sleep, and wake up screaming again; start twitching, jerking, or staring into space as if they can’t hear or see; are covered with body rashes; become restless and irritable; or have a dramatic change in eating or sleeping habits. Others describe a gradual deterioration in overall health, a picture that includes constant ear and respiratory infections and onset of allergies, including asthma…
Barbara Loe Fisher on Defending Our Human and Civil Rights
[T]here is no power on earth greater than the love we have for our children. The right of the State to tell us what to do to our bodies and the bodies of our children ends where our right to protect our lives and our children’s lives begins.

We believe every life is important. We will not look the other way while those of us vulnerable…
Rachel Carson on Detecting Injury Before Symptoms
We are accustomed to look for the gross and immediate effect and to ignore all else. Unless this appears promptly and in such obvious form that it cannot be ignored, we deny the existence of hazard. Even research men suffer from the handicap of inadequate methods of detecting the beginnings of injury. The lack of sufficiently delicate methods to detect injury before symptoms appear is one of the great unsolved problems in medicine. “But,” some will object, “I have used dieldrin sprays on the lawn many…
Michael Crichton, MD on Consensus Science
I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.
Suzanne Humphries, MD on the Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Breast Milk
Breast milk is an organ. It’s basically the immune system of a baby. It’s how the intestines grow properly, it’s how the baby’s immune system grows properly, and it’s an overlying blanket of protection for that baby against all the microbes that we’re told we need to vaccinate for… The reason being because a baby’s immune system is programmed to be anti-inflammatory. Breast milk is an organ. It’s basically the immune system of a baby. It’s how the intestines grow…
