800,000 Doses of Children's H1N1 Vaccine Recalled - H1N1 - FOXNews.com
Glad I didn't jump on that bandwagon to quickly.

— Hundreds of thousands of swine flu shots for children manufactured by French drug company Sanofi Pasteur have been recalled because tests indicate the vaccine doses lost some strength, government health officials said Tuesday.
Shelley Hendrix Reynolds: A Decade Of Questioning Harm And The Autism-Vaccine Connection
Excellent article - probing questions.

Genetics alone has not caused autism to increase from an incidence of 1:10,000 to 1:91 in a twenty year period. I asked the CDC earlier this month to let us know of one other genetic condition that had ever demonstrated that exponential growth rate. They were stumped. Something environmental is causing this. Something universally environmental even though we all eat different food, drink different water and breathe different air.
Visiting a vaccine company
Fascinating blog article from Cecily who was invited to tour the Glaxo Smith Kline packaging plant as a mommy blogger. Comments are equally interesting. What interests me is the big support from this mostly liberal crowd for mandatory vaccinations and I wonder if there is an association with also wanting Obamacare. Big government, mandates = eutopia? I guess that is the progressive mantra right?

Doctors paying to hear anti-vaccine views in Oregon - USATODAY.com

ASHLAND, Ore. — There are so many parents in this free-spirited, unconventional small town who won't get their kids vaccinated that federal researchers are paying money just to hear their side of things. On Saturday, 80 locals will get $50 apiece to talk about their worries over the risks of childhood shots.
"One of the basic tenets of my decision-making is mistrust of the government, a mistrust of the pharmaceutical companies, and mistrust of the big blanket thing that says this is what everybody has to do," says Tracy Harding, an organic farming consultant and mother of two.
"I get the public health standpoint," she said. "I am still questioning (vaccines') safety."

But Ashland stands apart from the mainstream.
The town of 20,000 on the flanks of the Siskiyou Mountains in southwestern Oregon has always been different. In the early 20th century it was on the Chautauqua lecture circuit, and the sulfurous waters of Lithia Springs drew visitors looking for a cure for what ailed them.
Today, it has one of the highest rates in the nation for vaccine exemptions — 28% and rising in kindergartens, compared with about 4% statewide. One alternative school has 67%.
