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.
