So, last night I was asked by my new employer to attend a lecture on vaccines, as they are trying to make some changes to their protocol and wanted to hear what this person lecturing had to say. I was all for the change in protocol, but was not so excited about paying a sitter (actually two sitters - as Julia had hippo therapy last night) $80 to go to some lecture about how great vaccines are....I was hesitant, but felt obligated to go, and it was a GREAT dinner, so I went.
The speaker was Dr Ronald Schultz. As I was walking in, I ran into two classmates of mine from vet school that I had not seen in 10 years.....interesting......and one of them, Melissa, said I might really like this speaker, as he is very vaccine "cautious"....(after I briefly told her of Julia's situation). Anyway, my interest was peaked and I sat at the front table.
This guy was AWESOME! Recommended protocols for vaccines for animals that I have wanted for YEARS - even BEFORE Julia got sick, but even more so since she did. I have a hard time paying all this money I have to pay for my vaccine injured daughter, using a salary I obtain from VACCINATING animals for things they don't need. Don't get me wrong, I am not anti vaccine - I have seen parvo, and I have seen distemper, and they are awful and deadly diseases, but older dogs do not get these diseases and do NOT need to be vaccinated year after year after year. Doing this makes chronic immune mediated issues WORSE, and can even cause different types of cancer, etc.......I was enamoured with Dr Schultz.
I sent him an email today thanking him for his lecture and letting him know I would love to talk to him more about both animal vaccines and childrens. I gained SO much respect for him when, towards the beginning of the lecture, he said, something to the affect of " I will not stand up here and say that childhood vaccines are CAUSING autism, but I would be the LAST person up here saying there is NO correlation" FINALLY someone, a DR, an IMMUNOLOGIST, is admitting this. We spoke briefly after the meeting about julia and about what is going on with childhood vaccines and seemed to be on the same page.
THANK YOU DR SCHULTZ! I hope you can reach many many veterinarians and change peoples thinking. It HAS to start somewhere.
