Amelia Ferguson was dying and spending her days in bed, because doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. So she took her iPad and researched her condition herself, and found out it was related to the HPV vaccine, which allowed doctors to properly treat her condition.

One of the true tragedies in modern medicine is the refusal to consider vaccine injuries when diagnosing or treating disease. The U.S. government acknowledges that people die and are injured by vaccines, as is evidenced from the Department of Justice’s quarterly reports on settlements in vaccine court.
However, medical students are given no training in recognizing or treating vaccine injuries, and no studies are ever conducted to find out why some children suffer from vaccines while others do not.
In this story out of the U.K., a 13 year old girl accomplishes something her doctors could not do, and that was diagnose her own life-threatening disease by researching all of the possibilities, without excluding vaccine injuries, something that apparently handicapped her doctors. She discovered that she suffered from an autoimmune disease after receiving the HPV vaccine.
How a teen diagnosed her own rare illness

Excerpts:
Admitted to Queen Mary’s Hospital for Children in Carshalton, Surrey, Amelia was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and put on a drip. By the summer of 2014 she was almost completely bed-ridden. At her lowest she was unable to swallow.
“Painkillers weren’t working and nor was the treatment,” she says, speaking from the family home in Esher. “I had lots of symptoms that I could see just didn’t fit with chronic fatigue syndrome. I knew that it was something else.”
“We wanted to believe it was chronic fatigue. Half a dozen specialists were in agreement,” says her father, David, a financial adviser. “They kept saying, ‘We’ve seen this before, trust us, stop worrying.’ But she was fading before our eyes and we were racking our brains for a solution.”
While her parents worried, Amelia took to her iPad. Instead of wasting her time watching vloggers, though, she began sifting medical research.
“I was no longer able to live my life properly so I’d spend seven or eight hours lying there searching for a cure,” she says.
In December Amelia found a paper about a 13-year-old Australian girl who presented with the same symptoms and chronology – they had both received the HPV vaccine, just before becoming ill. It suggested that Amelia might have pandysautonomia, a rare autoimmune autonomic neuropathy.
Amelia wrote a 1,700 word account of her clinical history, attached the medical paper and her conclusions with it, and sent it to Professor Russell C Dale, a paediatric neurologist at the University of Sydney. He referred her to Dr Ming Lim at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital, part of Guy’s and St Thomas’, who rushed her in for tests and came to the same conclusion.
“Her condition was life-threatening and it was clear she needed urgent care,” Lim says.
He put Amelia on a course of immunotherapy using steroids and immunoglobulins.

Medical Doctors Opposed to Forced Vaccinations – Should Their Views be Silenced?
One of the biggest myths being propagated in the compliant mainstream media today is that doctors are either pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, and that the anti-vaccine doctors are all “quacks.”
However, nothing could be further from the truth in the vaccine debate. Doctors are not unified at all on their positions regarding “the science” of vaccines, nor are they unified in the position of removing informed consent to a medical procedure like vaccines.
The two most extreme positions are those doctors who are 100% against vaccines and do not administer them at all, and those doctors that believe that ALL vaccines are safe and effective for ALL people, ALL the time, by force if necessary.
Very few doctors fall into either of these two extremist positions, and yet it is the extreme pro-vaccine position that is presented by the U.S. Government and mainstream media as being the dominant position of the medical field.
In between these two extreme views, however, is where the vast majority of doctors practicing today would probably categorize their position. Many doctors who consider themselves “pro-vaccine,” for example, do not believe that every single vaccine is appropriate for every single individual.
Many doctors recommend a “delayed” vaccine schedule for some patients, and not always the recommended one-size-fits-all CDC childhood schedule. Other doctors choose to recommend vaccines based on the actual science and merit of each vaccine, recommending some, while determining that others are not worth the risk for children, such as the suspect seasonal flu shot.
These doctors who do not hold extreme positions would be opposed to government-mandated vaccinations and the removal of all parental exemptions.
In this article, I am going to summarize the many doctors today who do not take the most extremist pro-vaccine position, which is probably not held by very many doctors at all, in spite of what the pharmaceutical industry, the federal government, and the mainstream media would like the public to believe.
