so, to recap:
1. i was there, working in one of the companies investing in the deregulation of not just testing of new pharmaceuticals but redefining testing⊠đ§”
2. iâve outlined my experience with both sides of the changes:
- 2a. ACTIVE ingredients, like triclosan âwhich were always problematic
- 2b. INACTIVE ingredients in pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals that are the most often involved in what the industry called âpersonal injuryâ cases. in my case it involved cancer immunotherapy. in my sonâs case, immunization.
all this to say: in spite of those 1994 changes, we should have more than one choice of #vaccines BECAUSE OF #ALLERGIES đ§”âŠ

CP had spent millions into greasing palms in DC for changes like:
Federal Register, Volume 59 Issue 116 (Friday, June 17, 1994) - https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1994-06-17/html/94-14503.htm
Federal Register, Volume 59 Issue 190 (Monday, October 3, 1994) - https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1994-10-03/html/94-24052.htm
these involve the definition of antimicrobial and the testing and labeling of pharmaceutical products, including cosmeceuticals like toothpaste (fluoride is a pharmaceutical, toothpaste a teeth cosmetic, hence a cosmeceutical)

we didn't have the combined MMRs in Puerto Rico when i was kid. thatâs why kids adopted from countries without it, get the separate ones.
the choice of separate and combined should be readily available AND FREE. money, not public health, is why we are forced into the combo; just as i was forced into anaphylactic shock 3 times to use an additives laden chemo solution.
money, not science, is why the insurance and the hospital forced my doctor to use the cheaper chemo solution⊠đ§”âŠ

why do i give you this background context to discuss this #RFK #MMR #vaccines nonesense?
BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS IN HOW INACTIVE INGREDIENTS ARE TREATEDmy son had an anaphylactic reaction to the MMRs. you don't want to know how it feels to have the limp body of your baby after doing the âright thingâ and being a responsible parent.
but the gaslighting about inactive ingredients in vaccines and immunotherapy is what also almost killed me during chemo⊠đ§”âŠ

to this day, because of his allergies, my son needs to get special #flu #vaccines ordered.
which is why he still goes to the same family doctor that tended him after i stormed out of that pediatricianâs office who literally said, âwell, even if he died, itâs for the greater goodâ.
really? no. forcing a cheaper vaccine isn't for the greater good. itâs for maximazing pharma profit.
all vaccines should be free and there should be more than one choice available. THAT is the greater good. /đ§”

indeed.
i'm one of those folks allergic/reactive to egg based vaccines. i am extremely excited to be able to get the first flu vaccine i'm been able to get.
safe and affordable/free choices of vaccines makes the entire population safer and healthier.

the US doesn't have "health care". we have the "health insurance industry" masquerading as health care.

PS:
ALLERGIES TESTING âfrom cradle to graveâ SHOULD BE STANDARD PREVENTIVE MEDICINE PRACTICE.
this is why my sons still go to their âbaby doctorâ. heâs one of the best in Family Medicine and this is the clinicâs routine protocol.
it should be, after those 1994 changes to the FDA.

AAAAAAAAAUGH!
â Kennedy claimed at one point: âSomething happened in the mid-90s that changed our children, and it has to be an environmental exposure.â â
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/10/trump-vaccines-executive-order-measlesi am one of those mothers who had her child have an anaphylactic reaction to the MMRs in the 1990s and am here to tell you this fascist fuckwad should know it had nothing to do with the #vaccines and everything to do with the changes to FDA regulation that happened in 1994 during the Clinton administration

@blogdiva federal funding for early diagnosis in schools, and having it in the DSM as a diagnosis probably helped a bit.

PSÂČ:
this is not a fucking paper, so all the caveats apply to this thread; but wanted to add:
not all the 1994 changes were bad. i believe the statistical modeling involving old products was a good call. one of the CP CEOâs goals was to reduce animal testing. this was one of the factors that helped with that.

I know I'm physically potentially intimidating, and as such, I try very hard not to be visibly angry or yell, but they would have heard me from the reception desk in my response to that one. After letting my wife take my son out of the room.

@blogdiva ALL OF THIS
As someone with mast cell activation syndrome (basically allergy cells react to things you arenât allergic to) it is absurd the amount of dangerous shit corps put in everything. Trying to find skin/body care without benzene relatives is such a PITA. Even antihistamines, which logically should be highly attentive to potential anaphylactic triggers, are pick your poison on inactives.

Thank you for the whole thread, it's educational.
For allergies testing, my kids' allergist warned me that the technology isn't as good as we would hope. The standard scratch tests will give a lot of false positives. He himself tested positive for a dangerous level of peanut allergy, but eats peanuts without issues. So allergy tests were mostly used to confirm an allergy when they already have other evidence, e.g. "The patient was exposed to eggs and milk and had an allergic reaction, we will use the scratch test in the hope that only one or the other will test positive."
I'm just some random idiot parroting what I heard from a doctor a decade back, so I am probably getting the details wrong. That's my memory of the discussion.

I'm so sorry for what you and your son have gone through. I know people with similar stories about their kiddos and vaccinations. This is the battle ground, people are more important than profits Every Damned Time.

Ah yes. Like how Benadryl has a red dye that is a known allergen in it. And people who are most likely to need Benadryl are the people who are more likely to have an allergy or sensitivity to this particular dye, so they have to look for "hypoallergenic antihistamines". Blew my mind when I had to research this stuff for my own health.
