[back] Danish study

  I want to make some comments regarding the Danish study that was
  funded by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National
  Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR). The CDC regulates and promotes
  vaccines and I find that troubling when the CDC does an epidemiology
  study that says there is no link to the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR)
  vaccine and autism. This is a conflict of interest.

  The CDC's only purpose all along has never been to find a cause for
  autism but only to clear the MMR vaccine. The CDC applauded the
  Peltola study and Peltola's conclusions have been found worthless. The
  Peltola study was funded by Merck & Co. (the US manufacturer of the
  MMR vaccine) The CDC applauded Taylor's study when no one could review
  the raw data on which they were based and several reknowned
  epidemiologists like Walter Spitzer criticized their methodology.
  Congressman Dan Burton asked for Taylor's data and never got it. The
  Taylor study was commissioned by the Medicines Control Agency of the
  UK Department of Health.

  The CDC only commissioned this study from Denmark because they knew
  that the results would come out to exhonorate the MMR vaccine in the
  eyes of the uninformed. The only logical reason is that they knew that
  the results of the "research" would be favorable to the MMR vaccine.
  When I asked Jacqueline Bertrand of the CDC at a COSAC conference in
  New Jersey whether any of the children in the Brick study on autism
  were vaccinated; she said yes they were, they were a highly vaccinated
  population. When I asked her if they would do immune blood panel tests
  on the children in the Brick study she said no. The CDC said there was
  no link to autism and the MMR vaccine in Brick, NJ. Now what kind of
  science is that when there is no blood testing?

  As an accountant by profession, I could say 1+1=2 and then come to the
  conclusion that the earth is flat. Saying 1+1=2 is a mathematical fact
  but concluding from the math formula that the earth is flat is not
  science. In the case of the MMR vaccine and autism, real science is to
  do immune blood panel tests and biopsies as well as TALKING to the
  parents.

  F. Edward Yazbak, MD says it best when he said, "Honest, unbiased, and
  scientific studies, which actually LOOK at the children, and the
  biological, cellular, molecular, toxic and immune aspects of their
  medical illness, are urgently needed. Talking to parents is also a
  great idea! Now that kind of research will be well worth the money."

  Research that Dr. Vijendra Singh
  (http://www.autismautoimmunityproject.org/) and Dr. Andrew Wakefield
  (http://www.visceral.org.uk/) has done can be replicated by
  independent researchers. Our organization will continue to fund
  independent research. Epidemiology studies will not stop the autism
  epidemic, only independent research will.
