Document Summary

Combination of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine causes autism by damaging the intestinal lining, which allows the entrance of encephalopathy protein. Thimerosal, an ethylmercury-containing preservative in some vaccines, is toxic to the central nervous system. The simultaneous administration of multiple vaccines overwhelms or weakens the immune system. Vaccines have been linked to all this stuff without scientific evidence, one study from. 1998 (not based on stats, no control group, relied on people"s memories, made vague conclusions that weren"t statistically valid) Can study pathogen and figure out why it causes you to be sick, causing outbreaks. Microorganisms in nature exist as mixed cultures and are therefore difficult to study. In order to characterize microorganisms, one must isolate the different species from a clinical specimen. Nutrient material called culture media is used to grow and isolate microorganisms. The type of media used based on many factors to be considered: source of sample tested, species suspected to be in sample, nutritional requirement of the suspected organisms.
