A Mother’s Description of Watching Her Son Slide into Autism After Vaccine…and She Wants Her Son Back.

Screaming to get out

by April Boden

Last night I woke at 3:30 a.m. I do this frequently, but last night my visions kept me awake until sunrise. I saw my son at age 12 months, on his birthday standing on the bed at a hotel in San Diego near Legoland. Watching Elmo. This episode, Elmo was talking about hands, “Hands are clapping, and hands must be washed before you eat…” With a bright beautiful smile and a look straight in the eye, Aydan clasped his hands together and said with conviction “hands”.

One month later he would receive the MMR and chicken pox vaccine in one day. At age 6½ I have still have not heard the word “hands” come from his mouth again.

A year later waiting in the doctor’s office Aydan sang the “Itsy Bitsy Spider” sort of. The doctor came in after about an hour. I should’ve just left, I should have walked away and taken the sign but I didn’t. I asked the doctor if I should be concerned about Aydan’s speech loss, but he’d just sung “itsy, bitsy, spider…” She said not to worry, we’ll look again in 6 months. He was vaccinated that day and I never heard “itsy bitsy spider” again.

Fast forward a year later: Aydan had been diagnosed, was receiving treatment and was starting to get better. He had just learned the names of all of the farm animals on his favorite puzzle. At 3 he received yet another set of vaccines in order to enter school. He has never said the name of those farm animals again.

Needless to say, my heart remains broken. I am haunted by these images. Painfully aware that if we had stopped sooner, if we had just skipped one round, he would be better off today. Aydan is considered on the severe end of the spectrum; he remains pre-verbal.

Today I am reading the Bolen Report which, on 10/04/11, started publishing part 1 of this 3 part groundbreaking series that declares the CDC has known since at least 2002 that thimerosal (mercury) containing vaccines contributed to the rise in autism. Not surprisingly, after Danish researcher Dr. Paul Thorsen fled the country with millions of dollars in stolen research money, his study would turn out to be a complete fraud. Lies, withheld data and more have been revealed, proving what so many of us have known for years. Vaccines cause autism!

So isn’t this what we’ve been waiting for, fighting for, screaming for? Can’t we all sleep well knowing that the truth has come out and lives will be spared? So why do I feel worse than ever? Because the truth is, through all my rantings and carrying on, through all my fighting of the good fight…I just want my son back.

I would gladly sacrifice the knowledge of any of this to hear my son speak, to see him write his name, to have him run up to me after school and ask if his friend can come over for a play date. I just want my boy. I don’t want to be smart, or insightful or clever or wag my finger and say “I told you so.”

I want my boy, I want my boy, I WANT HIM!! I just want him! I want him healthy, I want him to feel good. I don’t want to watch him slapping his head because the inflammation causes chronic headaches. I don’t want at age 6 to see him still walking on his toes and flapping his arms, or screeching for no apparent reason—or to do yet another round of anti-fungals, for yet another yeast overgrowth, for a still distended belly, caused by more constipation.

I watch him as he watches his older brother run down the stairs with his friends and around the apartment complex as they go riding their scooters. Aydan and I prayer every night that one day that will be him. But here we are, age 6½ and progress remains slow.

I wonder if I hold onto this pain because I fear that if I let it go, I will be letting go of my recovery dream.

Each day I try, try, try again. Fighting the school over an Apraxia speech therapist. Time to test the kidneys to make sure he’s ready for chelation. More magnesium cleanses, antifungal parade, more pro-biotics, more vitamin supplements, antioxidants, Relationship Development Intervention, evenings given Mustgatova massage, occupational therapy brushing protocol. Can I have a moment for myself or am I neglecting a potentially ground breaking teaching moment?

So someone tells me the other day she is worried about talking to people about vaccines because she wants to be taken seriously. Will this new information allow us to be taken seriously? Will it allow the mainstream to stop their nonsensical, unscientific rantings about the safety of vaccines? I don’t care. I don’t care what the mainstream media says, I don’t care what the government does. I just want my boy. I just want my Aydan.

I won’t return to the government who caused the problem looking for an answer or an apology. I won’t ask the mainstream media who has denied us acceptance for years. Like returning to an abusive boyfriend who claims to change but never will, I will not return to my abuser in anticipation of a new outcome. I don’t care to be taken seriously. I just my want my son. I want Aydan.

I want him back. I want time, I want just one, just one of those days to be erased from our history. The rest of this life, and the next, and the next after that, I give back to you God if you can give me my boy—if you can return him to his healthy state, if he could just be that carefree child that I know he longs to be when I see him watching his brother and his friends.

I commend us all, the parents of the vaccine injured who throw off the shackles of fear and speak openly and truthfully. Horribly painful stories I have heard. I sympathize and usually empathize but in the end, I just want my boy. I want Aydan. I want him back.

Will the acknowledgement of the truth change the past? Can I have my son back now? If I remain a hard working devoted mother and a good little activist will he come back to me? Will he?

Oh and please don’t give me pity, please don’t compliment me for my bravery or tell me all the lives I will save or the people I have spared this pain. Don’t get me wrong, I care.. I care about them all. I want a different world more than anyone can imagine; I want to save my son for a purpose. I do not see the logic in bringing up a well adjusted child to a maladjusted world. I am profoundly grateful each time I hear a new parent questioning vaccines and I am more than willing to share my story for the cause, at any given opportunity.

I know there is a greater light, a higher power…of this I am certain but I wonder if in this life I will ever be able to have a conversation with my son, play hide and seek. Wwill he want the keys to the car when he turns 16? This is my dream, this is my desire. That is the truth!

    April’s description of her little son Aydan, the pain and suffering is so moving, so intense, so tragic, so descriptive and poetic that it should be spoken as a poem set to music and widely spread on You Tube.

      Seriously? I thought it was an emotional cry yes, but I believe your interpretation of it is quite over dramatic. We need to start being practical, and I don’t see any of that here. If being practical makes me a bitch then so be it, but I am a mother of five children that I would lay down my life for at any given second. I would never waste a second wallowing in whatifs had they been unhealthy but yet fought fervently daily to overcome it and make the best of what I had…

        Overdramatic? Overdramatic to see one’s child slide from being a bright normal happy child into autism?

        You aren’t being the least bit practical. You’re being self-righteous.

          @Lorraine

          Really do you really completely wholeheartedly feel for April? I don’t believe you do. Although you must be a scientist because you made a comment that “A predetermined set of genetics inside of him made this occur” Would you care to tell me what those predetermined set of genetics are? I mean you wrote that you considered yourself to be a “practical” person. I think the “practical” explanation why autism has become an epidemic is because of the rise in the amount of vaccines that are required for children and the ingredients that are contained in them such as thermasol a form of mercury, formaldehyde, aspartame, aborted fetal tissue, monkey kidneys and the list of despicable things goes on and on. You mean to tell me that you believe those things could be injected into our bodies and none of us won’t have any side effects whatsoever. So maybe it won’t be Autism but it will be Cancer or some other disease or disorder down the line. If you study science and have an understanding of how the human mechanism works you would understand that there is a synchronistic order or force that allows us to function and that life is not a matter of randomness and chance. To say that is just as silly to say that humans are controlled by a man up in the clouds. To say that you think that life is a matter of randomness and chance means you feel that you have no control over your life and that must be a sorry state to be in.

          If you really are a mom (although your lack of empathy makes me question that statement) Consider yourself lucky that your children are healthy but if you love them as much as you say you do, then you will get off your ass and do some research on why people have this conviction that vaccines are harming their children instead of helping them. There is a law that just passed in California allowing children to get vaccinated without their parents permission so this issue is not going to stop with toddlers it’s gonna get much worse. If you love your 5 children like you say you do you owe it to them to actually read up on issues before you make “random” comments on a woman’s page who you know nothing about.
          Actually in response to your comment she is a fighter. She is fighting so much that she doesn’t have time to respond to you because she is spending her energy trying to heal her son instead of dealing with uneducated, misinformed and unenlightened comments.

          Really if you really felt for her you might have given her suggestions instead of criticizing her. If that is how you deal with people you whole heartedly feel for. I hate to see how you treat the people you don’t like. If you are willing to take the challenge and really educate yourself all you have to do is ask for the information and anybody on this board will gladly give you information on where to start. But if you choose to wallow in ignorance good luck with being a malevolent, ignorant, internet troll. And I wholeheartedly mean that.

      • Spetterez

        @Lorraine, Oh its so easy for you to speak yet you’ve never walked in any of these parent’s shoes who have watched their child go from typically developing and then change practically overnight due to vaccine injury!  Only those who have experienced it can speak on it.  YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what this would do to you or how you would feel or react.  

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000226216479 Lorraine Bratis

    I feel for you, completely and whole heartedly. I don’t believe that vaccines are dangerous to children. I have five and they have all been vaccinated. Unfortunately, there was most likely a predetermined set of genetics inside of him that made this occur, as with with other children. Since you specify you believe there is a higher power, I assume you believe in some sort of “god” and therefore won’t appreciate the comfort of randomness and chance. However, that is absolutely what this is. We can’t determine ahead of time, not yet at least, what children are going to have side effects from our vaccines… one day genetic testing prior may be standard, but right now it isn’t. And the millions and millions of healthy children who have been vaccinated cannot go at risk with the loss of vaccinations because unfortunately some children have gotten side effects.

    And before you flip out on me, yes. The answer is yes. I would be saying this exact same thing if it were my own children, whom I love equally as much as you do.

    Life is random, life is chance, and we deal with the cards we are given. Instead of wallowing in wanting “him” back, why not thank whatever “god” you believe in for the ability to have him just the way that he is, for all his imperfections, for all the quirks, for all the time that you are able to have with him because this makes you stronger, it makes him a fighter which is a fantastic quality to have, and you have to ask yourself this question, would you rather have him in your life this way right now, or not have him in your life at all? Appreciate the randomness and find the positive that comes from it.

    We have come a long way in advances with Autism, and in fact some very very intelligent and productive people have been autistic.

    Stop spending your time regretting and start being a fighter, your son deserves it…. and by the way, if you waste your time on “prayer” you will get nothing in return. Use your time wisely.

    • Anonymous

      You don’t know how you would feel if he were your son. You have no right to tell her to stop regretting. You’re actually suggesting that she should be glad her son’s life options have been so severely restricted! No god made him like this. Modern medicine’s vaccines did it. To suggest that the mother should be happy he’s like this and not dead is quite self righteous.

      Your concept of it being a genetic issue and merely random makes no sense. The fact is that, even if genetics makes one child more sensitive than another, the problem would not have happened without the vaccines. Autism was virtually nonexistent before vaccines, and the more vaccines that are given, the more autism there is. To blame genetics is specious. The cause is vaccines.

      When more than 1 in 100 children become autistic because they’ve been vaccinated, the whole genetics theory is shown for what it is: hogwash. Autism isn’t merely a chance occurrence. Children are not born with autism. It’s caused by vaccines.

      You also assume that children are healthier because of vaccines – but the fact is that children who are unvaccinated are far healthier.

      Lorraine;

      Sorry, but you may believe you have good intention, but sadly your posting was offensive even though you probably didn’t mean too.

      I hope you take a few days to step out of your shoes and into April’s shoes and think about what you wrote here.

      congratulations Lorraine, you have just told a rape victim that what happened to her is of no consequence. That you had these sort of relationships before and it was OK. That she should appreciate what happened to her because it was meant to be this way, find positives in her experience, shape up and move on. Oh, and that she is a stupid, hysterical woman who is wasting time wallowing in self-pity. Of all the self-righteous bull I’ve ever seen on the internet written around this topic, your comment tops the list. And funny thing is, you probably aren’t even a pharma shill. You are just kicking someone who is already down simply because you like it. Shame on you.

          April, I am so sorry that the world has many ignorant, thoughtless, bitchy people. But there are still more people out there who are compassionate and earning for knowledge. Opening yourself up to all who can read is a brave act for those who have been wounded. Invariably, one of the former will stop by to throw a stone just for the heck of it. And that hurts. But despite that, your words have reached many others, and have really made a difference. Please, do know that. Thank you very much for sharing, my thoughts are with you and your son.

          • http://www.facebook.com/april243 April Boden

            I have come to accept that there are such people out there that insist on learning lessons the hard way and are lacking in compassion. But as you say there are many more who are compassionate such as yourself and that’s who I choose to focus my energy on.

    http://gapsdiet.com/

    After a horrible yeast infection following just one round of antibiotics and a caretaker who allowed him to eat raw bread dough, my son had digestive problems and grain sensitivities that made him scream for hours and stop making eye contact. This really helped him, and I know it has really helped other families who have autistic children to the point that they recover and are no longer autistic.

    Hi April. You have the drive and ambition to recover your child. I can see by the programs you have tried, nutrients, diets, therapies that your son will most likely recover. When he is around 12 he should speak, read, write and be well enough to fall off a bicycle. Try art and music therapies (For the other side of the brain.) It need not be expensive with someone certified. Sometimes uncertified have great instincts and can relate to your child. Shell of ‘Recovering Autism Adhd and Special Needs,” on youtube

      My son is seeing a DAN (Defeat Autism Now) doctor. Some are Naturopaths or Osteopaths but any doctor who has received training from ARI (Autism Research Institute) to treat the biomedical issues of autism particularly reversing vaccine damaged maybe become a DAN. We have done heavy metal testing and are working on detox.

      • Anonymous

        Poor detoxification pathways was responsible for my daughter’s illness and I suspect that every single child that reacts to externally introduced pathogens shares in this. There’s a great book written about 15 years ago by Nancy Halloway and Dr. Zigurts Strauts entitled Turning Lead Into Gold that outlines how to detoxify with some excellent results.

  • shell tzorfas

    Whoever believes that the vaccines did not damage your child and the 1 out of 6 developmentally disabled, 1 out of 5 neurologically impaired that did NOT exist until 1986 when a law was passed preventing vaccine makers from being sued in regular courts.. kids went from 10 to more than 70 and autism showed up in large numbers. You wrote about your son’s reactions to vaccines, yet some still wrote back to you to make you wrong. You are not wrong. Your son was kidnapped for chemical profit. I believe that people in favor of vaccines do so with blind belief and little to no facts. It has become a religious cult. They do not have info, just belief. Polio was not stopped by vaccination, nor is whooping cough, measles, mumps, or herd brain mentality. Sorry mom, but I believe you can regain your son.

    • http://www.facebook.com/april243 April Boden

      Thank you. I’m working hard to regain my son and am praying for it daily. I agree with what you’re saying there is no evidence that vaccines have done anything whatsoever to improve health or eradicate disease. I have come to accept that some people have been successfully immunized when it comes to thinking critically about vaccines. They do so out of fear and a strong religious conviction at the church of fake science.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1071955706 Sheba Lo

    I feel so deeply for you. All you want if to share the joys of life with your son. I pray that you will. Thankfully, when I was bullied into some vaccines, my daughter did not have a severe (immediate) reaction. She is, however, plagued by severe allergies, asthma and peanut allergies. Those are vaccine damages; of that, I am certain. I regret being bullied every single day. I am grateful for the delayed schedule that she had and that the MMR was not slated to be given until she was about 6. She didn’t have the dreadful Hep B either. By the time she was 18 months, I refused and dropped the pediatrician. Still, I regret. Parents always regret when they know better and unless you have watched your child suffer, you cannot speak to that. I pray for you and your son and for those who have even a doubt, that they read and become informed about the medical mafia’s destruction of our children’s immune systems for profit. I know that 20 years from now or so, everyone will know….but until then, how many children will suffer? The CDC cares nothing about our children. We are their protectors. Be blessed with strength and courage mama.

    From my understanding the predisposition is already there for Autism/Aspergers. The vaccine just brings out the weakness.
    I have a son with Aspergers. He is now 28 and doing quite well. He has been with me for over 10 years now and living on all organic foods.My friends who know Ben well, have noticed and commented on the changes in him.
    The last 3 years he has been having raw eggs, raw milk smoothies daily. I noticed his full on sugar cravings almost disappeared.
    During the 10 years he has been having regular Kinesiology treatments. Of late they have been about every 6 months because he’s doing quite well now.
    He has an ‘addiction’ to the computer that keeps him in a one brain function. So when he get’s off it, it takes a while for him to operate well in normal thinking skills.i guess this probably relates to many people. :-)
    Aajonas the Primal Diet man is coming to our town here in Australia next week, so he can help Ben some more. Aajonas had, among other severe afflictions, Autism. He eventually overcame these afflictions through eating all raw foods. Google him, you may find it interesting.
    BTW. I an dead against vaccines!

      It doesn’t matter if there’s a “predisposition” to autism. No vaccine means no autism. Therefore, the cause is the vaccine.

      To suggest otherwise is like saying that Jimmy died faster than Joey from lack of oxygen because he had a predisposition to it. Who cares? If both are suffocated and one suffocates faster than the other, the cause is still the suffocation, not the genes.

      Congratulations on giving your son such wonderful care!

         Actually no vaccine doesn’t always mean no autism. I work with adults that have developmental and intellectual disabilities. Several of them also have a dual diagnosis of autism. Several of those that do have autism haven’t had a single vaccination. So while for some that are DX’d with autism it was because of vaccination it doesn’t mean if you don’t vaccinate there won’t be autism. It lessens the likelihood though.

    • http://www.facebook.com/april243 April Boden

      Congratulations on helping your son. You seem very health conscious and I’m sure it’s serving him well.

      The genetic argument be it, predisposition or otherwise hasn’t really held up to the Pepsi challenge. An interesting book “The Age of Autism, Mercury and a Man Made Epidemic” traces back the original cases diagnosed by Leo Kanner. Not surprisingly all of the cases had been vaccinated but it was also discovered that in every case the father of the child had been treated for Syphillus with a mercury containing medication. I don’t believe mercury is the only cause of autism but I believe what makes more sense than a genetic argument is that the child is born with toxins as a result of their parents’ exposures. The burden on the body becomes overwhelmed after vaccination. We’re seeing this play out among military families as those in the military are forceably vaccinated, the parents often have ill health as a result and then pass down their exposures to their children which may explain the reason that the rate of autism is so high in that population. As Heidi points out however it doesn’t matter because the end result is that vaccines cause autism regardless of genetics or prior exposures. Vaccines can cause much more than that and we’re seeing the results of a generation of “diagnosed” children at least 1/6. No matter how genetically superior one maybe it can’t possibly be enough to fend off the effects of mercury, aluminum and tissues of dead animals (and those are just the things that are supposed to be in there) injected directly in the body. We’re all experiencing the negative effects of vaccines whether directly or indirectly as the toxins inevitably end up back in our environment.

    Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable part of yourself. Not only do you have the hostility from the vaccine debate, but you are also going against our culture, which seems to enjoy attacking parents when they are not 100% perfect, 100% happy and 100% apathetic. An interesting mix.

    My mom still to this day cannot share the story of the first time I started talking again after my vaccine injuries without crying. I was lucky. I started talking again. I started living again. I was given my life back and I have no idea why, but I promise it won’t be in vain.

    I call this condition autoimmune encephalitis (I am not a doctor). I will try to explain what I think this is and how I think it should be treated. I believe I have this condition and I am high functioning. Autoimmune encephalitis seems to cause one part of the brain to grow too much damaging other parts of the brain. Vaccines are not the only cause of this condition the immune system will react to viruses or even many things that are perfectly safe. The condition seems to go in phases in the first phase an overactive immune system attacks the thyroid gland. This phase looks like food poisoning and I notice swelling in my neck. In the next phase the thyroid adjusts slowing the immune system and causing constipation and tiredness. In the next phase, testosterone causes painful brain growth crushing parts of the brain and changing pain experience sound or flashing lights can become very painful raising dopamine levels high enough to cause numbing. The thyroid gland will slowly repair itself. Damages to the digestive system and brain have occurred, but we are left with a huge brain mass that holds the key to communication functions. Diet is very important. The digestive system is much less effective, fats are not fully digested, my poop has a lower density and it floats. I need more fat, more vitamin A, and more omega 3 to support my big brain and my thyroid recovery but most vitamin pills are difficult to digest. I need to eat very nutrient rich foods. Diet is very frustrating some foods will trigger relapse and others pass through my system without being fully digested. Sound and flashing lights cause damages and I need additional food to cope. Every digestive system is different. Now of course the most important thing is getting your child back, it sounds like he has a very good chance of recovery because he has recovered before. Focusing on what is left of the brain is the key. Google image search is a good teaching tool. You can show him pictures of hands, spiders and any other important things. Your son is still there don’t give up, also trust you instincts. Pomegranate juice can help keep the yeast down and prune juice helps constipation. Feel free to contact me on Facebook I don’t charge and I have a lot more ideas that might make life better for your son, good luck.

      I am very grateful for your prayers. I agree; no one prays to nothing at the end. I will look for you on facebook and I will look into NRT. I haven’t heard of that before but we are seeing a nutritionist. The DAN I mentioned earlier is actually not just a doctor but a clinical team that consults on nutrition as well. We use homeopathy for acute illness but I haven’t to treat my son’s autism yet. I will look into that also.

    Wow. I so know what you mean, mama. Have you heard of the GAPS diet? It has helped us amazingly and I know of many other families it has helped.

    Like you my son was injured by a vaccine. I was 17 years old, when I delivered him and being a new single young mom, we dont know the risks of these vaccines. Like any mother we try to protect, guide, stand behind, and love unconditionally not because its in the job descriptiion but because thats what real moms do. We believe those who tells us what to do and not to do and what will help and protect our children bc we hear the word protect, help, and immune, so we are so fast to jump and give the ok because we trust and believe these proffesionals and people are here to help us. My son was born normal, I have pictures, Videos from when he was first born and I have pictures now. Thannkfully, my son doesnt know what “normal” is because he was only nine weeks old when he had an adverse reaction to a vaccine. A vaccine that is known for its live viruses, which in the virus its self is known as ” Death by diarriha’ (if I spelled tht right its a late night for me. lol) So why would a doctor, someone a new mother trusts for answers and lets in to help protect her child, give him a vaccine that had a memo for professionals like him to be extremely cautious when giving premature babies this vaccine. Bc they get paid for every vaccine they administered, they thought about the money and not a child or his family.  My my baby went with his dad that weekend weighing close to 13 pounds at nine weeks old. When I got to the hospital he was barly eight. We were told he was not going to make it through the night and to say r good byes bc his kidneys were failing bc of how dehydrated he was even though he was eating bc of his reaction to this vaccine his nutrients didnt absorb within his body. Luckily he survived, but now has Quaderpalegic spastic Cerebral Palsy. Meaning the type of brain damage he has substained limits his movements in all four of his limbs. Doctors say he will never walk independantly but, I know my son and I know I can get him where he needs to be. But instead of dwelling on why this happend, how this happend, and blaming who is responsible. I researched everything. The vaccine, the blogs, the ingrediants, other cases, ect. I cant change the past, I cant take it away, and I can not make it go away. But I sure as hell can figure out what every mother wonders when something happens to her child, what caused this, why did it effect him the way it did, why did he go throw what he did. I need answers and the people covering their asses arent going to give them to me. So its up to me to find the truth. Any one can study, anyone can connect the dots, and anyone can put a puzzle together with or without a doctraite. Before they were famous for these vaccines, before they made billions of dollars they were just ordinary people like you and I. I believe if everyone comes together we alone can study, prove and back up what we can prove bc it is the same way they got their degree where just not paying for it, we are not graduating with major credits because of it, we are mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, grandparents just trying to find out exactly what happen with the person we love and why. Everybody wants something, everyone wants to go back and re make decisions tht we now regret, decisions tht have changed our lives forever. But wanting something and doing something about it are two different things. I want my babys brain to be normal, I want to see him walk and interact with other children, i want so much for him and so much more than what i had growing up. I have lived in my own personal hell since before he was born and for me he was my new begining, my new chapter, the one thing in my life tht was going to be stable and actually mine, this is how it turned out. I dont love him any less bc I admire him everyday more and more for his ambition, his drive to become better, to do better and not let this stop him has not only made my love for him grow stronger but my pride in him, my appreciation tht he is still alive to see this is what I hold dearly and hold onto everyday, that is the only reason why i have the streagnth to get out of bed and when im having a bad day, he is the reason why it doesnt matter. I live for him, I fight for him and I will never stop fighting, I will never give up, and I sure as hell wont stop untill wht happen to him is heard. My son was born for a reason, this happen for a reason, We will let it be heard bc I have to spare a mother the hell of watching her 9 week old child on a ventilator bc he cant breathe on his own, to spare her the experience of kissing her child and hearing his heart flat line bc his body is so weak, and to spare her the difficulties on a daily basis of the what if’s.

      If anyone wants to contact me, i love reaserch, i love figuring out and proving why something happend and finding answers, i will be more than willing to help. On facebook my name is Sam Lauricella. A picture with my son is my profile picture and I will help or do anything I can for these kids to be heard and there storys told.. They have a law.. No child left behind, but what about no child left unheard? With vaccine companies u only have three yrs from the first symptom to file a claim, after that the statue of limitations runs out and there is nothing u can do about it meaning justice will not be served. But in every medical document, there is always the truth, there are always answers, so if we cant get justice for our children dont others deserve to be spared, what happen to our children shouldnt have happen but we cant change tht but we can fight for them, talk for them, and voice out for them against these compaines. Statue of limitations, laws, ect are changed everyday. If our presidents can change a law for the “good of the people”, then this shouldnt be too hard bc these kids are Americas Future, they are going to change history like every other generation. So if they can be heard when it comes time for thier vote and if anyone has any type of compassion for a child, getting justice, preventing this countries future from turning into turmoil, wouldnt they want to protect the future? Wouldnt they want to change how these vaccines are administered, and shouldnt our kids have a right to fight for what they deserve special needs or handicapped or not, one day this country is going to fall on their shoulders, but if they cant be heard now, if they cant have their day, why is their vote for presidency and ect counted? They cant be heard when needed but they can be heard for personal gain? Something needs to change and whether I am alone or have a billion people behind me I will change it. No child is allowed to be left behind and Hilary Clinton stated “it takes a village to raise  child”, what about a special needs child? Does it take the state, town, and country to raise them? If they are not allowed to be left behind then they sure as hell shouldnt be left un heard! Bc the way I see it there is no difference!

    So, what vaccines are too risky? All? What are recommended? None? I’m a new parent, thanks in advance!

    • HeidiStevenson

      If you’re sincere about vaccinations, you should probably start doing your own research. The subject is not simple and you’ll find many shades of variations of views. What you need to do is learn the facts as best you can so that you can make your own best judgement call.
