There really needs to be a better public discussion on the causes of such as ADHD (The doctor just said it was down to bad parenting, April 26).
Quote: "The cause of these neuro-developmental disorders is unknown, although there is a genetic link."
What the medical profession is loath to admit is that there is more of a link between these disorders and the introduction of mass vaccination programmes than just a temporal one. That profession will admit that vaccines can cause fullblown encephalitis/encephalopathy (they trigger inflammation by their very nature), but they are strategically silent as regards to subclinical brain damage/disorder. Strategically, out of fear of what the admittance of a larger downside to vaccines than what the authorities will officially own up to will do to vaccine uptake levels. But that fear continues to let unsafe vaccines fill the market. That is not best practice. That is cover-up, pure and simple.
The cat is well and truly out of the bag now with all the autism spectrum disorder about, which coincides with a large increase in the vaccine schedule for the past decade or so. Yes, there is a "genetic link" to all this. It's the genetic predisposition to be damaged by vaccines.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
