Question: That will give you a start into the biological/brain components of the so-called "behavioral disorders". Note that I never said these things were caused by vaccinations. But there is evidence which links these things to brain dysfunction and/or damage. When a child exhibits high fever, seizure or stops breathing, there is a high likelihood that there may be damage to the brain. These things may later on prove to be the cuause of mood or conduct disorders caused by damage to the brain. Simply receiving a vaccination most likely will not cuase this. But when a child recieves a vaccination, suffers an extreme adverse reaction, then that child's behavior changes dramatically it must be questioned. However, what looks like vaccine damage may just be coincedental. From the posts that John put on this website about the testimony in front of Dan Burton's committee, every case looked to me like it was a coincendence. My sense is that in the case of the testimony, the parents were looking for a reason for thier kids' unfortunate deaths, and vaccination was an easy target. There is little question that a few people have had serious adverse reactions to vaccinations. The real question is how many? As far as I can tell, very few, but too many to blindly recommend vaccination without trying to improve the safety of vaccination.
Answer: Here, too, it is tricky to determine if these events necessarily cause damage to the brain. First, high fever does not necessarily cause damage to the brain. Obviously, it depends on how high the fever is as well as the individual child. Febrile seizures do not necessarily cause damage to the brain. Same with other seizures. And even if more kids with febrile seizures have other problems, the febrile seizures may be a manifestation of the other problems, not the cause. However, if one stops breating for long enough (a few minutes), there is no question that this will cause brain damage. Otherwise, it depends on why the kid stopped breating in the first place. Here, we are tricky territory, because it is hard to tell which came first, a neurological problem or the vaccinations. It may very be that any of the three conditions is true if a child who has a neurological problem and had vaccinations: The child had the neurological problem before the vacciantions, but it did not become manifest yet. The timing of the manifestation of the neurological problem and the vaccinations is just coincidental. For example, a child who is destined to be autistic gets vaccinations. The vaccinations did not cause the autism, even though the vaccinations were given bevore the child became autistic. The vaccinations cause a prexisting but hidden neurological condition to become manifest. For example, if a child is prone to seizures who would anyway develop a seizure disorder regardless of vaccination has his first seizure after a fever that is a side-effect of a vaccination. It does not mean the vaccination caused a seizure disorder, only made it manifest. I am not suggesting even that vaccination can make seizure disorders manifest; This is a theorical example ONLY.
