New Film Exposes Shaken Baby Syndrome Myth – Opponents Want to Silence it at Film Festival#android#iPad#retweet
I cannot wait to see this new documentary. It is long overdue, for the censorship to be lifted and the truth to come forward in this area. I look forward to the day when sentences are reversed, based on solid science, and the innocent individuals freed from being wrongly imprisoned. Time to look past the lucrative sensationalism of shaken baby syndrome.

A new film exposing the corruption behind much of the Shaken Baby Syndrome diagnosis used to remove children from the custody of their parents, and in some cases put parents behind bars, is currently making its way through the film festival circuit. The Syndrome is a film produced and directed by Meryl Goldsmith, a Los Angeles-based filmmaker who teamed up with her cousin and investigative reporter Susan Goldsmith as the co-producer and editor. It is Meryl Goldsmith’s feature directorial debut, according to the film’s website. Included in the cast are doctors and law professors.
Lauren Kirchner, writing for the Pacific Standard Magazine, recently interviewed Susan Goldsmith and discussed the opposition the film has received from the medical community:
Many of the film’s subjects have dedicated their professional lives to gaining attention to updated research on child injuries, and to defending accused abusers in court. For this, they have faced a huge backlash from the doctors and prosecutors who disagree. The filmmakers knew they’d get swept up in that, too. Many film festivals that considered including the film were threatened with litigation, and accused of promoting child abuse, the filmmakers said in a recent interview.
“This is a theme in our film—how the proponents of shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma have tried to silence their critics,” Susan Goldsmith says. “And that theme is extending to here and now, to our documentary…
An Open Letter to Jimmy Kimmel#android#iPad#retweet
By Heidi Roger
Dear Mr. Kimmel:
I am the parent of a 20-year-old son who was poisoned by the mercury in his infant vaccines and is now severely affected by autism. My daily mantra is “If we don’t laugh, we’re gonna cry,” my morning commute requires Comedy Central or Howard Stern radio and I have always enjoyed your comedy style. I am so extremely saddened and disappointed in your recent actions that I feel compelled to explain on behalf of the vaccine-injured community how wrong you are.
Freedom of choice is an important issue in democracy, just like freedom of speech. Comedians such as yourself need freedom of speech to make a living. We think you would agree that without freedom of speech, you wouldn’t have the career that has made you rich and famous.
Why are you disinterested in exploring vaccine safety and quashing the views of organizations and individuals concerned about vaccine safety; and instead proposing that Americans should lose their freedom to choose what is injected into their bodies as a result of government mandates?…
Measles outbreak: 13 reasons to reject the hype#iPad#Android#Family
By Jon Rappoport
Hype a war, sell an invasion.
Hype a disease, sell a vaccine.
That’s the business model. Make no mistake about it.
And at the criminal liar’s club called the US Centers for Disease Control, men and women are working that business model every day.
Here are 13 reasons to reject the current hype about the “measles outbreak.”…
…”[According to CDC statistics], ‘influenza and pneumonia’ took 62,034 lives in 2001—61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified.”
You might want to chew on that sentence for a while. Only 18 confirmed cases of the flu in a year in the US….
How the Pro-Vaccine Side Lost Me#iPad#android#retweet
by Whitney
When did it become okay to make fun of anyone? When as a society did we start to accept people making fun or belittling each other? It isn’t okay for children to bully each other at school nor is it okay for adults to bully, make fun of, or belittle each other through their Facebook account.
It does not matter if you love or hate vaccines. I was taught growing up if you do not have anything nice to say then you do not say anything at all. I am not anti-medicine, science, or vaccines. I am however very anti-bullying, making fun of people, and bashing others because they have a different opinion.
We are all parents trying to make the best decisions for our children. Parenting is hard enough the way it is without parents making fun of each other.
I know the vaccine issue is a hot topic right now, but I have seen so much belittling from the pro-vaccine camp lately that it has pushed me over the edge. I have been seeing people post the late show host video of him bashing anti-vaxers. I normally keep scrolling when someone posts something that I do not agree with, but it is people posting how funny and great they think the video is. I do not find it funny when someone ridicules or makes fun of people.
Most, but not all, of the parents who do not vaccinate fall into one of these categories…
Attacking Ourselves: Top Doctors Reveal Vaccines Turn Our Immune System Against Us#Android#iBelieve#retweet
The research is hard to ignore, vaccines can trigger autoimmunity with a laundry list of diseases to follow. With harmful and toxic metals as some vaccine ingredients, who is susceptible and which individuals are more at risk?
No one would accuse Yehuda Shoenfeld of being a quack. The Israeli clinician has spent more than three decades studying the human immune system and is at the pinnacle of his profession. You might say he is more foundation than fringe in his specialty; he wrote the textbooks. The Mosaic of Autoimmunity, Autoantibodies, Diagnostic Criteria in Autoimmune Diseases, Infection and Autoimmunity, Cancer and Autoimmunity – the list is 25 titles long and some of them are cornerstones of clinical practice. Hardly surprising that Shoenfeld has been called the “Godfather of Autoimmunology” – the study of the immune system turned on itself in a wide array of diseases from type 1 diabetes to ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis.
But something strange is happening in the world of immunology lately and a small evidence of it is that the Godfather of Autoimmunology is pointing to vaccines – specifically, some of their ingredients including the toxic metal aluminum – as a significant contributor to the growing global epidemic of autoimmune diseases. The bigger evidence is a huge body of research that’s poured in in the past 15 years, and particularly in the past five years. Take for example, a recent article published in the journal Pharmacological Research in which Shoenfeld and colleagues issue unprecedented guidelines naming four categories of people who are most at risk for vaccine-induced autoimmunity…
Bringing Much-Needed Sanity to the Vaccine Debate#iBelieve#Android#Measles
by Kevin Geary
I’ve tried to stay away from the vaccine debate, but it’s reached a psychological tipping point for me.
Watching the back-and-forth on social media alone has made it clear that there are massive critical thinking issues. And if we’re going to get to any sort of agreement or respect between the camps, those critical thinking issues have to end.
As the title says, I want to bring sanity to the discussion. That doesn’t mean I want to change your position on vaccines…it means I want people to stop acting irrationally.
So, while this is quite random, here’s what needs to be addressed in order to restore sanity…
