J.B. Handley is co-founder of the group Generation Rescue, which advocates for families with children diagnosed with childhood neurological disorders, such as autism or Asperger’s. Members of Generation Rescue believe these illnesses are the result of environmental triggers and can be successfully treated through biomedical intervention. He recently joined Coy Barefoot on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now.
Thank you …thank you… thank you.
And now the HPV vaccine is next. Mandated for girls but not boys in the states . And now thanks to lobbyists “available” in Canada! “available” for how long before it too becomes mandated?
Disgraceful!!!!!
Received Downunder! Balanced and heartfelt discussion. Thanks J.B. & CPN! I’ll pass it on through listservers! Keep up the passion. Parents, in the main, are driving this outing of the truth. Even though we are perceived as desperate to blame someone or something for our child’s condition, the truth is reaching more people each time it is heard. That trickle will strengthen to strong pressure. Our children deserve to be helped. Perpetuating the old myth / paradigm of autism being untreatable or unchangeable allows government agencies to excuse their inaction or, at best, little action to really help these children medically and with real programs. Keep up the passion!
The best available science refutes just about everything that Mr. Handley holds out as true. Thimerosal has been gone from scheduled childhood vaccines since 2002, but the rate of diagnoses in 3-5 years olds has not gone down. Why is that, Mr. Handley?
Your market research study comparing vaccinated to non-vaccinated populations is fatally flawed. You call such a study simple, but to do it right is far more complicated than you let on.
The facts are not on Mr. Handley’s side, so he makes them up.
The only link between vaccinations and autism exist in Mr. Handley’s imagination. The podcast would be so much more interesting if he stuck to facts.
