Vaccines and autism

Jeffythedragonslayer: note about UK withdrawing license for single vaccines

Some people believe that [[vaccine]]s, particularly the "MMR" (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine, cause [[autism]]. Serious medical research studies do not support this.

One proposed causal link arises from the very high rate of autism in New Jersey. According to a 2018 report associated with USA Today, that state has the highest rate of autism in the United States.<ref>https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/health/2018/04/26/nj-autism-rates-highest-united-states/551910002/</ref> However, its vaccination rate is among the lowest: According to a 2017 report from the American Academy of Pediatrics, New Jersey's rate of MMR vaccination in children was 89%; only four states (Washington, Colorado, Utah, and Indiana) had lower rates.<ref>https://www.aap.org/en-us/advocacy-and-policy/aap-health-initiatives/immunizations/Pages/Across-America.aspx</ref>
Another report, from the Center for Disease Control in 2019, shows New Jersey about at the median.<ref>https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/imz-managers/coverage/schoolvaxview/data-reports/coverage-trend/index.html</ref>

Speculation on the possible correlation between the MMR vaccine and autism seems to have been largely triggered by the work of [[Andrew Wakefield|Dr. Andrew Wakefield]]. This research has been discredited,<ref>https://healthland.time.com/2012/01/13/great-science-frauds/slide/andrew-wakefield/</ref> in large part because of fraud in selecting test subject (his study only consisted of 12 children) and reporting the results, and because he was a paid consultant to attorneys representing parents who believed their children had been harmed by vaccines. It should also be noted that Dr. Wakefield was attempting to create a competing vaccine at the time, which could explain his allegations.<ref>https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/5/1/1761317/-It-s-been-20-years-since-Andrew-Wakefield-s-vaccine-causes-autism-study-it-s-still-fraudulent</ref>

In August 1998, six months after ''The Lancet'' study, the UK withdrew the license for the importation of the single vaccines that were combined in the MMR.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csw6r9f4-rg</ref>

Since the late 1980s, when [[Big Pharma]] received special liability protection for vaccination, the number of vaccines given to young children has more than tripled, coinciding with a sharp rise in autism and other health problems.<ref>https://www.caledonianrecord.com/news/local-lawmaker-doctor-injected-into-vaccination-controversy/article_00387379-a162-5392-a376-893a02525d79.html</ref>

Mechanisms for a causal link between vaccination and autism have been proposed by researchers, including Dr. Andrew Wakefield. But with billions of dollars at stake based on vaccine mandates, retaliation is swift and severe against anyone who admits the possibility that vaccination may cause autism, or indeed cause any harm at all. Also, there may be [[atheist]]ic motivations for [[liberal denial]] about causes of autism, which is an impediment one's ability to read the [[Bible]] and strengthen one's [[faith]].

The [[CDC]] reports that autism continues to increase, up 30% in merely the last half-decade, to where it afflicts 1 in 68 today. There are significant differences in autism rates among states.

The [[liberal media]] is overwhelmingly pro-mandatory [[vaccine]], and tends to marginalize opposition as somehow being irrational:<ref>https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/vaccine-skeptics-find-unexpected-allies-conservative-gop</ref> "American skepticism toward vaccinations dates back at least to the [[Revolutionary War]], when [[George Washington]] was initially reluctant to inoculate his troops against [[smallpox]]."

Jeffythedragonslayer: pathological optimist note

'''Andrew Jeremy Wakefield''' (born 1957) is a [[British]] doctor who, in 1998, published a research paper on a possible link between the [[measles]], [[mumps]] and [[rubella]] (MMR) vaccine, [[Inflammatory Bowel Disease|bowel disease]] and [[autism]]. He was a gastroenterologist until he was, controversially, struck off the UK medical register for alleged unethical behaviour.

The [[Wikipedia]] page on Andrew Wakefield is an extreme character assassination, liberally sprinkled with words like "fraudulent", "discredited", "unethical", "misconduct" and "dishonesty".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew_Wakefield&oldid=882625196</ref>

Although Wakefield was struck off the UK medical register, he was never discredited. He was wrongly accused and later vindicated.<ref>http://www.truthwiki.org/dr-andrew-wakefield/</ref><ref>https://www.naturalnews.com/048753_Wakefield_study_MMR_vaccine_autism.html</ref>

In 2003, a drama starring Hugh Bonneville as Wakefield called ''Hear the Silence'' was released.

In 2004, Brian Deer released a film titled "MMR: What They Didn't Tell You"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UbL8opM6TM</ref> critical of Wakefield's research.

Research presented at the 2010 Pediatric Academic Societies Annual Meeting in Vancouver, Canada, supports the findings of Wakefield's 1998 Lancet paper of an association between autism and serious gastrointestinal disease in children.<ref>https://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/11/02/wakefield%E2%80%99s-lancet-paper-vindicated-%E2%80%93-yet-again</ref>

In 2010, Skyhorse Publishing released Wakefield's book ''Callous Disregard: Autism and Vaccines--The Truth Behind a Tragedy'', which recounts the events surrounding the 1998 study.

In 2017, Wakefield starred in ''The Pathological Optimist''. In 2020, Brian Deer released a biography about Wakefield titled ''The Doctor Who Fooled the World''.

Ethyl mercury is not the same as [[methyl mercury]], which may be found in fish and shellfish. Methyl mercury stays in the body and can make people sick, while thimerosal doesn't stay in the body. There is no evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines.

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System

2022-02-25T00:19:03Z

Jeffythedragonslayer:

'''Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System''' (VAERS) is a database managed by the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC) and the [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA). VAERS provides a mechanism for the collection and analysis of adverse events associated with [[vaccines]] currently licensed in the United States.

'''''A user-friendly compilation of VAERS data is available [https://vaersanalysis.info/ here]'''''.

Reports to VAERS can be made by either the vaccine manufacturer, a vaccine recipient or their parent/guardian, or a health care provider. For more information on VAERS call (800) 822-7967.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/about/terms/glossary.htm#v Glossary]</ref>

In the first year of the [[corrupt]] [[Biden regime]], VAERS reported slightly more than 20,000 deaths from the [[covid vaccine]]. However experts and [[whistleblower]]s in the CDC report the number is much higher, in the 80-100,000 range.

In January 2022, [[Republican]] Congresswoman [[Marjorie Taylor Greene]]'s personal [[Twitter]] account was permanently suspended for tweeting statistics from VAERS.<ref>https://www.timebomb2000.com/xf/index.php?threads/twitter-permanently-suspends-marjorie-taylor-greenes-personal-account.613528/</ref>

==Covid vaccine deaths==
[[File:I'm going to shut down the virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[Biden]] promised to shut down the virus. Rather, Biden shut down accurate reporting of scientific data on deaths caused by the covid vaccine.]]
According to VAERS, of the U.S. deaths reported between December 14, 2020 and September 24, 2021, 11% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 16% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 29% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/vaers-cdc-deaths-injuries-covid-vaccines/</ref> The mortality rate from receiving the covid vaccine is 2.12%, and the risk of permanent disability is 2.97%. 11.33% needed Emergency Room visits and 9.41% required hospitalization.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/vaers-vaccine-injury-october-1-980x1024.jpg</ref>

===Problematic reporting statistics===
On July 9, 2021 the number of deaths VAERS claimed were reported to its website was 10,991. Earlier the same week, deaths reported hit 12,313 according to the CDC website. Within hours, that number was adjusted to 6,207.<ref> https://www.thewellnessway.com/cdc-deletes-6000-deaths-from-vaers/</ref>

According to data from CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) Medicare Tracking System reported in September 2021, the total number of American citizens that died within 14 days of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is 48,465. That data reveals that 19,400 people less than 80 years old died within 14 days of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. In addition, 28,065 people died that are over the age of 80 within 14 days of receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.<ref>https://rumble.com/vn12v1-attorney-thomas-renz-we-got-them.-fact-check-this-all-new-whistleblower-inf.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=2</ref> According to a ''[[Project Veritas]]'' whistleblower report, the [[Biden]] [[Department of Health and Human Services]] was actively attempting to suppress reporting of covid vaccine adverse reactions and death to the VAERS system.<ref>https://uncoverdc.com/2021/09/21/hhs-whistleblower-talks-covid-vaers-jabs-with-project-veritas/</ref>

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

==Eulogy==

Many eulogies are for people who are still alive. Aristotle called this speaking epideicticly. I don't know what I'm talking about.

All who know me know what a positive person I am, having admired Trump, but I am still learning. In that spirit, allow me to eulogize my favorite same-sex-loving person, Christopher Ciccone.

I was just looking at my 1985 high school yearbook. The four years of classes voted Madonna (Ciccone) "Best female vocalist". Most every girl in those classes was out of my league at the time, so I guess I have to admit they knew more than me about some things. Anyway, it turns out Christopher claimed he designed Madonna's looks. People say her singing wasn't that great despite being the vocalist on a number of good songs, so her looks probably were a significant part of her appeal, and Christopher would deserve a lot of credit for her success.

Christopher became a well-respected interior designer and designed Madonna's beautiful and exquisitely tasteful mansion when she was rich and famous. And when she turned on him, he wrote a book about her that was fair about her trying to improve her sympathy towards her male companions, but still proved she was disloyal to people, said he nearly threw a punch at her pretty-boy newlywed husband for patronizing him and walked out of her life when she wouldn't stop doing to him all the things caused by what people have come to dislike about her. What's not to love about Christopher Ciccone? [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) Sunday, 07:16, 7 February 2021 (EST)

==Commentary on the foregoing==

You'll notice I used the word "love" in what could be taken in two different senses. This is a portal for communication among encyclopedia writers, so I think the writers who profess such ability should be able to handle this much ambiguity. If they think otherwise, I might mention it would be just as much their fault as mine for not seeing that as something upon which to be remarked.

People can use the word "love" in numerous ways and end in ambiguity and indeed contradiction. If you pay attention, you'll realize in one sense "love" can be Divine, in another ungodly. In one sense: fruits of the spirit (Isaiah 11)!; in another: sterility. [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) Friday, 06:18, 12 February 2021 (EST)

== Main page news ==

Hello everybody there are important news I want share on main page. how can I introduce news? --[[User:Alex Kosh|Alex Kosh]] ([[User talk:Alex Kosh|talk]]) 21:15, 16 February 2021 (EST)
:You can put it on [[User_talk:Aschlafly]] or [[User_talk:TerryH]]. At least in theory, [[Talk:Main_Page]] is the page for this purpose. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 12:29, 17 February 2021 (EST)

== Photo upload ==

Hello, I want to know how I can upload photo file here? --[[User:Alex Kosh|Alex Kosh]] ([[User talk:Alex Kosh|talk]]) 19:11, 10 March 2021 (EST)
:Hi, you can post specific requests here: [[Conservapedia:Image upload requests]] ([[CP:IUR]]).

== New Project Started ==

Hello Conservapedia editors! Yesterday I started [[Conservapedia:Project Current Events]] and I just wanted to invite anyone that wants to help out on the Project. The idea is similar to Wikipedia’s “Current Event WikiProject”, which I am the lead coordinator of, so hopefully Conservapedia can stay up to date on major current events. One such event that Wikipedia is barely talking about is [[45 Office]], which Donald Trump created yesterday. Because of my status on Wikipedia, I know a lot of the behind the scenes things, so hopefully I can grow Conservapedia just as much as I did Wikipedia. Feel free to join the Project. --[[User:Elijahandskip|Elijahandskip]] ([[User talk:Elijahandskip|talk]]) 12:17, 30 March 2021 (EDT)

== Discussion for a possible new Wikipedia Article ==

Should a new article be started for discussions on Wikipedia that have major effects? (An example of one is [[Elijahandskip#Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory article]]). Or, should the discussion details be added to [[Wikipedia]] or [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia]]. I don't really know if they should go in the examples of bias article, because some aren't really a "bias" per say, but have extreme lasting effects on Wikipedia. Also, if you think a new article, what would the articles title be? --[[User:Elijahandskip|Elijahandskip]] ([[User talk:Elijahandskip|talk]]) 18:07, 14 May 2021 (EDT)
:My recommendation would be to create the page on WP's Ukraine conspiracy theory article if you have enough to make it not a just stub, and put a link to it from the Bias in WP portal to it. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]][[User talk:RobSmith|Free Kyle!]] 18:13, 14 May 2021 (EDT)
::Well I wasn't just thinking about that discussion in general. I have been a part of tons of 'major' discussion on Wikipedia. One also involved Wikipedia removing information about US Governor Impeachment efforts (Both Republican and Democratic governor impeachment efforts). I also participated and know the history of a discussion where Wikipedia was about to say the assassination of an Italian Diplomat was no notable for Wikipedia. I would be perfectly fine creating an article just for that discussion, but what about the other discussions that had controversy on Wikipedia? --[[User:Elijahandskip|Elijahandskip]] ([[User talk:Elijahandskip|talk]]) 18:17, 14 May 2021 (EDT)
:::Me personally, I'm all for bringing controversial questions that are squashed in Wikipedia here, and even making full-blown mainspace articles of them (see for example [[Murder of Seth Rich]], [[Clinton donors in the Panama Papers]] and [[Naked short selling]], for example. These are all full-blown articles that were censored in WP). The problem is not making just stub articles out of them. If there is only stub material, then it can go into the Biases in WP article with a link back to WP referencing the controversy. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]][[User talk:RobSmith|Free Kyle!]] 18:28, 14 May 2021 (EDT)
:::The difference between a full-blown mainspace article and stubs usually will be the links to external sources, and not just links to WP talk pages. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]][[User talk:RobSmith|Free Kyle!]] 18:36, 14 May 2021 (EDT)
:::If Wikipedia is suppressing well-researched work by an editor, properly sourced with external links, we want that work (generally in most cases). [[User:RobSmith|RobS]][[User talk:RobSmith|Free Kyle!]] 18:38, 14 May 2021 (EDT)
::::Yeah. That is good advice. I will wait for a day or so to let a few other people drop their opinions. But that is a really good idea. --[[User:Elijahandskip|Elijahandskip]] ([[User talk:Elijahandskip|talk]]) 19:30, 14 May 2021 (EDT)

:::::It sounds good in theory, at least. I don't want us to just become "anti-Wikipedia" though, but rather a place where discussion like that isn't stifled. Rob is right to point out those examples...the Seth Rich article in particular stands out to me, because that information was heavily suppressed on numerous platforms. When our page went up, there seemed to be a lot of interest. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 20:50, 14 May 2021 (EDT)

::::::We definitely should make articles for the Seth Rich article. Anything Wikipedia rejects is good for this site. [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 21:04, 14 May 2021 (EDT)

::::::i would say that we should also be lobbying search engines to teplace Wikipedia with this site as its more reliable. Or maybe with a more neutral version of this site

[[Category:Conservapedia| ]]

== Conservapedia Scope ==

Just thought I'd ask the community here, but does anyone like the idea of Conservapedia allowing for a scope about as large as Wikipedia, but with obvious exceptions (e.g. no media that glorifies sin or is beyond vile). Perhaps allowing for some subjects that Wikipedia would not allow under their general notability guideline. Example: I made a [[Bulbasaur]] article & might make more [[Pokemon]] articles to accommodate the growing base of conservative gamers -- Wikipedia won't allow for articles on "non-notable" subjects and tend to take it too far, and perhaps this is an issue that Conservapedia can address. Although Wikipedia has an article on Bulbasaur, there are several other Pokemon that they simply merge in a list & so I wondered if a way to differentiate is have a subject on all Pokemon. There's probably a lot of students who would be eager to write essays on Pokemon if it were, let's say, a homework subject. At same time, having a guide for parents about Pokemon and the series because some conservative parents might feel uncomfortable about the series. [[User:Patriotic Gamer|Patriotic Gamer]] ([[User talk:Patriotic Gamer|talk]]) 12:59, May 28, 2021 (EDT)

:I really like this idea. What we don't make for in community size we could make up in quantity of articles. If the articles are well written and focus on the aspects of it not generally defined by Wikipedia, then I think it helps (P.S I am a new member, it would be better to ask one of the big dogs). --[[User:Man O Wisdom|Man O Wisdom]] ([[User talk:Man O Wisdom|talk]]) 03:10, January 3, 2022 (EST)

== Template:Infobox Film ==

I noticed in the [[Template:Infobox Film|Infobox Film template]] that there is no space included for production companies. Could the article be temporarily unlocked so I can add a production company space to that infobox? [[User:Northwest|Northwest]] ([[User talk:Northwest|talk]]) 21:59, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
:Thanks for that, now [[Template:Infobox Film/doc|its related article]] will need editing as well to bring it in line. [[User:Northwest|Northwest]] ([[User talk:Northwest|talk]]) 22:39, August 31, 2021 (EDT)

== Added introduction to myself on forum ==

hey everyone, i just found this site and am so excited to learn together. already edited a few pages. I added a song to the Greatest Conservative Songs page and corrected the Hebrew on the Tower of Babel page. Looking forward to meeting you all online.

:Welcome to our site and thanks for the contributions you've made so far. Just be sure to sign your posts when you post here and on talk pages. [[User:Northwest|Northwest]] ([[User talk:Northwest|talk]]) 23:03, September 1, 2021 (EDT)

==Orphan pages==
Orphan pages, particularly orphan stubs, have become a real problem at Conservapedia. [https://conservapedia.com/Special:LonelyPages] When creating new content, please follow these Guidelines: [[Conservapedia:Guidelines#Article_length]]. Stub pages (pages with less than 300 words), and particularly uncategorized stubs, orphaned stubs, stubs with few or no outgoing links have the detrimental effect of lowering our Google rankings. To avoid an accidental deletion during a routine cleanup of the server, when creating a stub, please integrate your new article into the whole wiki by de-orphaning it, adding a Category, and have a few good quality external links. Thank you. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]][[User talk:RobSmith|Free Kyle!]] 15:04, September 15, 2021 (EDT)

:Can we (as a wiki collective), adopt these pages? Or should they just be swept under the rug until deletion? I need something to do, I have some time to donate. --[[User:Man O Wisdom|Man O Wisdom]] ([[User talk:Man O Wisdom|talk]]) 03:13, January 3, 2022 (EST)

== Offline Conservapedia archive ==

I've undertaken an effort to create an offline archive of Conservapedia in OpenZim format that can be used for any of the following:
* Homeschool parents who want to give their kids access without opening them up to the rest of the internet.
* People in rural (homesteaders) or remote areas (missionaries) with little or no internet access.
* Preppers who are trying to keep archives of important data in case the access to the internet is lost or severely censored.

I'm using the <code>mwoffliner</code> tool but I discovered that the version of Mediawiki running on the site needs to be updated for compatibility with that tool. I went ahead and created a clone of Conservapedia on my home computer using the latest version on Docker. As I started to archive the site with <code>mwoffliner</code> there are a few pages that I stumbled upon that had issues causing errors with the archival. I would like to offer my help to the community at large with contributing back these corrections and to share the finished ZIM file when it is ready. Is there anyone who would like to join me in this effort? It would be especially helpful if someone could help by upgrading the site from the current version of 1.24.2 to 1.36.1 or later. I'm willing to pitch in if needed.

Thanks! -- [[User:John6|John6]] ([[User talk:John6|talk]]) 22:26, September 15, 2021 (EDT)

:I know the current version level of the site is incompatible with some modern tools, and that is unfortunate. While I have no say in the upgrade decision, my understanding is that it probably won't be happening for some time. 1.24 offers features and options with were removed or changed in later versions.
:As for the issues you noted, you might want to check logs, and see if any pages in particular are giving you issues. There are a few pages with weird (typically ASCII) symbol codes, or NBS characters, which can mess with API calls. You might want to see if you can identify specific problematic pages, and exclude them, so you can archive the rest (if you are able to do so at all, with this wiki version). --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 02:16, September 16, 2021 (EDT)

:: It is hard for me to tell how many of the issues were a result of the export and rebuild process on the newer version of Mediawiki. The best way to know is to perform the export from the live site. Is there anything I can contribute to help get us ready to upgrade to a newer version? What features were removed and can I help to migrate to something new? [[User:John6|John6]] ([[User talk:John6|talk]]) 18:26, September 17, 2021 (EDT)

== Changing my username ==

Hello, is there a way for me to usurp another person's username? [[User:Cicero|Cicero]] was permanently blocked in 2007, having made no non-deleted contributions. [[User:Cicero1|Cicero1]] ([[User talk:Cicero1|talk]]) 18:06, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
:I don't think so. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:41, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
::I recall that the MediaWiki software allows users to be renamed. First move the usurpee to a different name like "User (old)", and then move the usurper to the requested username. I am not sure if this works on all wikis. [[User:Cicero1|Cicero1]] ([[User talk:Cicero1|talk]]) 20:17, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
::You sure? Look at these requests [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Username_changes#Requests_involving_merges,_usurps_or_other_complications here]. [[User:Skelly|Skelly]] ([[User talk:Skelly|talk]]) 09:26, November 1, 2021 (EDT)
:::I am not sure. I asked the owner of the website about this issue many years ago and he said he could not help the person. And unfortunately, at the present time, I don't have the time to try to assist User: Cicero1 further. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 10:59, November 1, 2021 (EDT)
:::Yes Cicero1, you are correct. Perhaps you can ask Andy [[User talk:Aschlafly|here]] about potentially renaming the current User:Cicero to clear the way for you to be renamed with that specific username. —[[User:Liberaltears|<code>'''LT'''</code>]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!]]''''' Monday, 19:27, November 1, 2021 (EDT)

== Is someone going to delete the Jimbo Wales is peеd on pages? ==
As the title says. [[User:Skelly|Skelly]] ([[User talk:Skelly|talk]]) 19:07, January 3, 2022 (EST)
:I deleted a bunch of them via a mass delete command. I may have gotten them all. If you know the usernames that created the articles, I can do a mass delete for the usernames. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 20:00, January 3, 2022 (EST)

== Duplicate summary ==
I notice that conservapedia forces me to type in the summary twice when I make an edit before it publishes my changes. Can someone look into this please? [[User:Jeffythedragonslayer|Jeffythedragonslayer]] ([[User talk:Jeffythedragonslayer|talk]]) 10:50 PM, January 10, 2022 (EST)

Jeffythedragonslayer: note about Brian Deer film
