[2011 Oct] CDC Director
Arrested for Child Molestation and Bestiality By Dr. Mercola
Another shocking case involving the CDC is that of Dr. Poul Thorsen, who,
after being found to have falsified documents, was indicted on fraud, money
laundering and tax evasion after stealing somewhere between $1-2 million in
research grant money from the CDC.
Here you might wonder why I'm faulting the CDC, as the organization was the
victim of fraud. The reason I fault them is because they hired Dr. Thorsen to
debunk the link between thimerosal in vaccines and autism—which he did to their
satisfaction. However, CDC officials may have played a significant role in
"guiding" this research to their desired end, and now that Thorsen has been
exposed as a fraud, the agency still upholds his research as being of high
caliber.....Dr. Thorsen's studies are frequently quoted in rebuttals to the
claim that vaccines may play a role in the disorder. The studies in question
were riddled with flaws, yet despite the fact that Thorsen's studies may
actually be a complete sham, the CDC has not officially declared them invalid.
In fact, they're still listed on the CDC website as part of the scientific
backing of their stance on autism and vaccine safety.
[2011 April] Indicted Researcher Poul Thorsen:
Autism Speaks' Original Trailblazer In May 2000, one week before the
infamous Simpsonwood meeting, Poul Thorsen suggested blazing a new trail to the
CDC - disguising the role of vaccines in the autism epidemic by using data from
Denmark. He made this suggestion to CDC staffer, NAAR/Autism Speaks scientific
adviser and (Bernie) Marcus Institute board member Dr. Marshalyn
Yeargin-Allsopp.. The CDC funded the project; NAAR supplemented.
Poul Thorsen crafted the plan to use Denmark vaccination data
despite the fact that CDC, Thorsen and the NAAR board all knew that Denmark's
vaccine schedule then, and now, is not remotely similar to the US vaccine
schedule. The results of the Denmark studies helped the CDC out of a tough spot
and over the past decade, Thorsen's studies were utilized by the CDC repeatedly
to falsely reassure the American public about the safety of vaccines. CDC
certainly owed Thorsen.
In 2002, NAAR, who later merged with Autism Speaks, provided
$105,300 to supplement the CDC project. NAAR walk money helped Thorsen blaze his
trail of using data from Denmark to disguise the potential role of vaccines in
the autism epidemic.

Fraud: Dr. Poul Thorsen and the original “Danish Study” By J.B. Handley
It’s hard to put into words how dishonest and outrageous a study this is, and I
knew after reading it that we were in for a long fight: if scientists will lie
this explicitly and call it a study and if Pediatrics will publish something
this dishonest, they are playing to win at all costs. .....Danish children
receive 75% less Thimerosal than American children, they receive immunizations
when they are older, and the U.S. autism rate is TEN TIMES the rate of Denmark
(Denmark is 1 in 1,600, U.S. is 1 in 166). .....Of the seven co-authors of the
study, three had received direct funding from the CDC on vaccine-safety related
projects. Two of the authors were employees of Statens Serum Institute, a Danish
vaccine manufacturer.
..The public health establishment seems to have a simple strategy: get anything
published, and then spin the hell out of it and confuse the public, and they
perhaps never did it better than with this original “Danish study” which is
still cited as proof by many that “vaccines don’t cause autism.”
