"It is difficult to conceive what will be the excuse made for a century of cowpoxing; but it cannot be doubted that the practice will appear in as absurd a light to the common sense of the twentieth century as blood-letting now does to us. Vaccination differs, however, from all previous errors of the faculty, in being maintained as the law of the land on the warrant of medical authority. That is the reason why the blow to professional credit can hardly help being severe, and why the efforts to ward it off have been, and will continue to be so ingenious." Charles Creighton M.D.
"Truth has to be repeated constantly, because Error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In the Press and Encyclopaedias, in Schools and Universities, everywhere Error holds sway, feeling happy and comfortable in the knowledge of having Majority on its side."----Goethe

''So the first lie to remember today is this: autism is ancient. It's not ancient, it's new.'' ~ Mark Blaxill
"Asking the public health community to investigate the role of vaccines in the development of autism is like asking the tobacco industry to investigate the link between lung cancer and smoking,"----Rick Rollens
"I have always thought since I first heard about the Somali children that this really proves the causal role of vaccines. The Amish children who have no vaccines have no autistic-like disorders and the Somali children who are newly exposed to aggressive vaccine programmes have exceptionally high levels! What more evidence is needed?" Former UK Science Chief -- Vaccines Cause Autism: "What More Evidence is Needed?"
Here is Julie Gerberding at the time of the Hannah Poling decision when she was still director of the CDC (before she took the revolving door to Merck's vaccine division) on CNN: “Now, we all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids. So if a child was immunized, got a fever, had other complications from the vaccines. And if you’re predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism." http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0803/29/hcsg.01.html
And here are HHS HRSA officials talking to journalists Sharyl Attkisson and David Kirby on different occasions: "The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually caused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures." http://web.archive.org/web/20101106061707/http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20016356-10391695.html">http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20016356-10391695.html">http://web.archive.org/web/20101106061707/http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20016356-10391695.html

The (Pretending to) Combat
Autism Act By Bernard Rimland
"The chronicle of mans progress is the history of authority refuted" ~ Dr. Bernard Rimland, Autism Research Institute.
"When the link between the use of unsafe, mercury-laden vaccine and autism, ADHD, asthma, allergies and diabetes becomes undeniable, mainstream medicine will be sporting a huge, self-inflicted and well-deserved black eye. Then will come the billion-dollar awards, by enraged juries, to the children and their families. I can't wait."--Dr Rimland MD
"Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., has provided the statistics that, in their experience, from 50 to 60% of parents with autistic children believe that their children were damaged by vaccines. In our own office we have seen many autistic children in recent years, and our own experience has been very similar, many parents reporting that deterioration of their children took place following vaccines."--Dr Buttram MD
"Soon after my textbook on autism was published in 1964, I began to hear from other parents. Many parents told me that their children were normal until getting a triple vaccine – the DPT shot. In 1965 I began systematically collecting data on the symptoms and possible causes of autism: In 1967—33 years ago—I began querying the parents, specifically about the child’s response to the DPT shot. Many had reported marked deterioration."--Dr Rimland
"They claim that autism naturally occurs at about 18 months, when the MMR is routinely given, so the association is merely coincidental and not causal. But the onset of autism at 18 months is a recent development. Autism starting at 18 months rose very sharply in the mid-1980s, when the MMR vaccine came into wide use. A coincidence? Hardly!"--Dr Rimland
"The evidence that vaccines are a major cause of the increase comes from a number of directions. One direction that's been largely ignored are the laboratory studies. There are at least seven laboratory studies, clinical studies, of blood, cerebral, spinal fluid, biopsies of autistic children which show huge differences between autistic children and normal children in terms of the presence of things like measles vaccine virus in their intestinal tract, for example, or their neurons. So, there's one line of evidence. Another, of course, is that we have data from thousands of parents who testify, often with videotapes and photographs and eyewitness reports, that their kid was perfectly normal. And they can demonstrate it, as I say, very conclusively with tapes until after the vaccine. The kid retreated into autism. There's just converging evidence from many, many directions."-- (Nov 2002) Bernard Rimland PhD
I was the first to announce the "autism epidemic", in 1995, and I pointed out in that article that excessive vaccines were a plausible cause of the epidemic. As you know, an enormous amount of clinical laboratory research (as opposed to epidemiological research), has been accumulated since that time, supporting my position. (I did not know then that the vaccines contained mercury, although I had been collecting data since 1967 from the mothers of autistic children, on any dental work they may have had during their pregnancy.) The evidence is now overwhelming, despite the misinformation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Institute of Medicine. The (Pretending to) Combat Autism Act By Bernard Rimland
"Much attention has been focused on the MMR shot itself, whereas in all probability it is a combination of the three factors listed above: the increasing number of vaccines, the large amount of mercury, and the inherent danger of the triple vaccine.....The MMR vaccine is also especially suspect because laboratories in England, Ireland, and Japan have found evidence of MMR vaccine viruses in the intestinal tracts of autistic children, but not in control group, non-autistic children."---Dr Rimland
Dr. Mayer Eisenstein [Dr. Mayer Eisenstein]
"We have about 30,000 or 35,000 children that we've taken care of over
the years, and I don't think we have a single case of autism in children
delivered by us who never received vaccines.......Every doctor now essentially in this country has done
something as heinous as the Nazis did, unknowingly."----Dr. Mayer Eisenstein
"40 years ago when I started my practice only 1 in 10,000 children had autism. Today it's 1 in 100. What is the only difference we have seen? The inordinate number of vaccines that are being given to children today. My partners and I have over 35,000 patients who have never been vaccinated. You know how many cases of autism we have seen? ZERO, ZERO. I have made this statement for over 40 years: "NO VACCINES NO AUTISM".---Dr. Mayer Eisenstein (sourced http://www.ageofautism.com)
Dan Olmsted [Dan Olmsted]
"I have not seen autism with the Amish," said Dr. Frank Noonan, a
family practitioner in Lancaster County, Pa., who has treated thousands of
Amish for a quarter-century. "You'll find
all the other stuff, but we don't find the autism. We're right in the heart
of Amish country and seeing none, and that's just the way it is." --[2006] The Age of Autism: 'Amish bill'
introduced By DAN OLMSTED
Kanner was the
world’s leading expert in child psychiatry. He was the leader in the field at
Johns Hopkins. In 1935, he wrote a textbook that was over 500 pages long that
had detailed, exhaustive descriptions of every possible malady of childhood that
he and his colleagues had ever seen. There’s not one mention of autism in that
1935 textbook.
When he wrote his paper, published
in 1943, he said, “Since 1938 there have come to our attention a number of
children whose condition differed so markedly and uniquely from anything seen
before that each case merits – and I hope will receive – a detailed
investigation of its fascinating peculiarities.” So here is the world’s leading
expert on child psychiatry who has already written a textbook. In 1943 he writes
that in the last five years, we’ve started to see children and they’re unlike
any children we’ve ever seen before.
And he only saw 11 of them. And one
of the things we’ve described is that people came from all over the country, all
over the world to visit at Hopkins. The notion that autism was around at a rate
of 1 in 100 or even a fraction of that is absurd. So the genetic argument at
this point collapses on its face. It doesn’t even meet the basic tests of logic
and common sense.
[2010 Sept] Interview
with Dan Olmsted, Mark Blaxill: 'Age of Autism-Mercury, Medicine, and a Manmade
Epidemic'
Searching for children who had not been exposed to mercury in vaccines -- the kind of population that scientists typically use as a "control" in experiments -- Dan Olmsted scoured the Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, who refuse to immunize their infants. Given the national rate of autism, Olmsted calculated that there should be 130 autistics among the Amish. He found only four. One had been exposed to high levels of mercury from a power plant. The other three -- including one child adopted from outside the Amish community -- had received their vaccines.----Deadly Immunity By ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.
Dr. Jeff Bradstreet [Dr. Jeff Bradstreet]
Where are the unvaccinated homeschooled children with autism?
Nowhere to be found, says a doctor who treats autistic children and is
knowledgeable about the homeschooled world. "It's largely nonexistent,"
Dr. Jeff Bradstreet told UPI's Age of Autism. "It's an extremely rare event.
Bradstreet treats autistic children at his medical practice in Palm Bay, Fla. He
has a son whose autism he attributes to a vaccine reaction at 15 months. His
daughter has been homeschooled, he describes himself as a "Christian family
physician," and he knows many of the leaders in the homeschool movement.
"There was this whole subculture of folks who went into homeschooling so they
would never have to vaccinate their kids," he said. "There's this whole cadre
who were never vaccinated for religious reasons." In that subset, he said,
"unless they were massively exposed to mercury through lots of amalgams
(mercury dental fillings in the mother) and/or big-time fish eating, I've not
had a single case."

"The fact is that sooner or later, Andrew Wakefield will be exonerated, his theory will be accepted and a vaccine-autism connection will be proven. As the New Year comes around, Wakefield's research is being duplicated in prestigious centers in the United States. In addition, viral culture results are expected soon from the National Institutes of Health laboratories. "--[letter BMJ 2005] F. Edward Yazbak,
"This report describes six mothers who received live virus vaccines and one who received a Hepatitis B vaccine during pregnancy after having received an MMR booster five months prior to conception. All the children who resulted from these pregnancies have had developmental problems, six out seven (85%) were diagnosed with autism, and the seventh seems to exhibit symptoms often associated with autistic spectrum disorders."---F Yazbak MD
Worried about vaccination being blamed for Regressive Autism, the health authorities and vaccine promoters quickly circulated the idea that autism, supposedly a purely “genetic disorder”, manifested itself between 18 and 24 months of age. In time, that somewhat preposterous idea became an accepted scientific fact, even though the syndrome was originally called “Infantile Autism” or “Kanner’s Infantile Autism” and an infant is, by definition, a child under the age of 12 months......So why don’t any of those little ones ever regress - really, really regress - at 11 months of age and why do they all wait and regress all together, just after their first birthday and their “one-year” check-up whether they are in the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, Egypt or Australia? Why don’t we ever, ever hear of babies regressing into autism during the vaccine break period, between 6 and 12 months of age or more specifically between age 9 and 12 months, when they are doing all those wonderful exciting things we need to call the neighbors, friends and family to witness or quickly find the movie camera to record?
WHY, WHY, WHY DON’T BABIES REGRESS BEFORE THEIR ONE-YEAR CHECK-UP? [2011 Jan] Why Don’t Children Regress Before They Turn One? by F. Edward Yazbak, MD, FAAPJaquelyn McCandless, M.D [Jaquelyn McCandless, M.D]
"As a clinician, my current belief which guides my practice with these
children is that any child given the HepB vaccination at birth and subsequent boosters
along with DPT has received unacceptable levels of neurotoxin in the form of the ethyl
mercury in the thimerosal preservative used in the vaccine. In any child with a genetic
immune susceptibility (probably about one in six) this sets off a series of events that
injure the brain-gut-immune system. By the time they are ready to receive the MMR
vaccination, their immune system is so impaired in a great number of these children that
the triple vaccine cannot be handled by the now dysfunctional immune system and they begin
their obvious descent into the autistic spectrum disorder."---Jaquelyn McCandless, M.D

The epidemic with autism really started during the late 1980s and early
1990s, and it seemed to coincide with the time that the vaccines for Hib (Hemophilus influenzae type b) and
hepatitis B were added to the vaccine schedule--Hib around 1988, hepatitis B in
1991. The children had already had the DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis)
vaccine through the 1980s, and the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) was subsequently
added; but we did not realize much of an upswing until the hepatitis B vaccine
was added at birth. Balancing Biochemistry: An Interview

[Russell Blaylock, M.D]The medical literature is abound with studies on the deleterious effects of mercury on numerous enzymes, mitochondrial energy production, synaptic function, dendritic retraction, neurotubule dissolution and excitotoxicity, yet, he sees only a "theoretical risk" associated with an ever increasing addition of thimerosal-containing vaccines THE TRUTH BEHIND THE VACCINE COVER-UP By Russell Blaylock, M.D.
CDC officials claim vaccines are safe and effective. Is that true? If vaccines are safe, why did the incidence of autism increase from one case of autism in 10,000 American children to one case of autism in 150 American children after the massive childhood vaccination program began? If childhood vaccines are safe, why are 560,000 vaccinated children afflicted with autism while nonvaccinated Amish and Mennonite children rarely have the disease? Why has the incidence of asthma, allergies, autoimmune disease, Type I diabetes, and neurologic conditions dramatically increased in vaccinated children? Why do obstetricians give pregnant women influenza vaccines that contain a toxic dose of mercury? Why do newborn children receive Hepatitis B vaccine in the nursery when there is no medical justification for the immunization? Dr. Blaylock's discussion addresses those, and many other, issues.

I am no longer "trying to dig up evidence to prove"
vaccines cause autism. There is already abundant evidence,......
This debate is not scientific but is political. --- [July
9, 2006 Blog/letter] Discovering the causes, treatment of autism
----David Ayoub, MD
The AAP leadership knows very well that vaccines cause autism. We need not waste anymore efforts in trying to educating them, we need to indict them. They may me morally bankrupt, but they are not stupid. They have lied to legislators, they have lied to journalists, they have lied to Pediatricians, and worse of all, they have lied to you and your children.....One thing is abundantly clear, the don't give a damn about scientific truth and they don't give a damn about you or your children. I hope the autism community continues to move forward and expose all those involved who have put millions of children in harm's way. [2008] Dr Ayoub Speech at rally
"Ayoub was asked why government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry, are
working so hard to keep the truth about the mercury-autism link hidden. He says
it is a long story, but the main reason is because if they admitted guilt, it
would mean the government agencies, drug companies and medical organizations,
“have taken part in the largest iatrogenic epidemic known to man.”
The fallout over
admission of causality would be unprecedented, Ayoub adds. The lost confidence
in American medicine would likely cause people to turn to alternative methods of
medicine, and a rise in deeper investigation might reveal the truth about other
suppressions related to cancer therapy, hypertension Rx, or Atherosclerosis. [jan 2007] Thimerosal
Definite Cause Of Autism By Evelyn Pringle
Dr. Boyd E. Haley
[Boyd Haley Ph.D.]"Studies on the toxicity of mercury to mammalian neurons in culture demonstrate that low nanomolar levels can have lethal effects. Experiments using this system have also demonstrated, in agreement with published literature, that many antibiotics, other heavy metals and chemicals increase the toxicity of mercury and thimerosal (ethyl mercury). Additionally, in this same system the female hormone estrogen decreases thimerosal's toxic effects. In contrast, the male hormone testosterone greatly increases the toxicity. This may explain the 4 to 1 ratio of boys to girls that become autistic and the observation that boys represent the vast majority of the severe cases of autism. "---Boyd Haley, Ph.D. (Testimony Before the House Government Reform Committee)
"The vaccine contains 125,000 nanomolar level of mercury if it has Thimerosal as a preservative. That’s a huge amount. And one nanomolar levels in the baby will prevent the macrophages from going through phagocytosis. In other words, they will lose their ability to eat viruses and bacteria that are in the blood that shouldn’t be there, and so Thimerosal suppresses the immune system. This is well known and has been well described in the literature for a long time; that mercury is an immune system suppressor and you see that these autistic children have a truckload of immune problems. So you would prevent that from occurring. That is documented research and I don’t know how the government can even ignore it, or the agencies of the government can ignore it. Interview of Dr. Boyd E. Haley by Teri Small:
"You couldn't even construct a study that shows thimerosal is safe. It's just too darn toxic. If you inject thimerosal into an animal, its brain will sicken. If you apply it to living tissue, the cells die. If you put it in a petri dish, the culture dies. Knowing these things, it would be shocking if one could inject it into an infant without causing damage." ----Dr. Boyd Haley, Professor and Chair, Dept. of Chemistry, University of Kentucky and one of the world's leading authorities on mercury toxicity.
"A single vaccine given to a six-pound newborn is the equivalent of giving a 180-pound adult 30 vaccinations on the same day. Include in this the toxic effects of high levels of aluminum and formaldehyde contained in some vaccines, and the synergist toxicity could be increased to unknown levels. Further, it is very well known that infants do not produce significant levels of bile or have adult renal capacity for several months after birth. Bilary transport is the major biochemical route by which mercury is removed from the body, and infants cannot do this very well. They also do not possess the renal (kidney) capacity to remove aluminum. Additionally, mercury is a well-known inhibitor of kidney function."--Boyd Haley Ph.D.
"If the epidemic is truly an artifact of poor diagnosis," scoffs Dr. Boyd Haley, one of the world's authorities on mercury toxicity, "then where are all the twenty-year-old autistics?" (Excerpts from Deadly Immunity)

This new study leaves little doubt there is a direct causal link between mercury

Deth, PhD [Media Letter 3 July, 2006] Unequivocally, There is Strong Evidence Linking Thimerosal to Autism
[2004 jan] In conclusion, for those who have a decreased ability to excrete mercury, as has been demonstrated for several different genotypes, there can be little doubt that mercury concentrations once administered to children as part of the childhood routine vaccination schedule resulted in a significant number of children developing autism. This is especially true following a sudden increase in the amount of mercury administered, as occurred in the United States in the early 1990s when the amount of mercury administered to children in the first six months of life more than doubled as part of the routine childhood immunization schedule (i.e. from 75 micrograms of mercury from three DTP immunizations to 187.5 micrograms from three DTP, three Hib, and three hepatitis B immunizations).....It is also clear that if somehow, despite the over whelming evidence, the IOM determines, that either thimerosal did not cause or that they are not sure that it caused the current epidemic of autism and other neurological disorders, that the IOM must demand the immediate expenditure of billions of dollars as part of an all out effort to immediately determine what is causing this epidemic before it totally destroys our society.

"In 1993 Vijendra Singh, PhD University of Illinois, published a study in
which they found antibodies to myelin basic protein in 50 to 60% of autistic children
tested. Recently at a public meeting Dr. Singh presented information on an unpublished,
preliminary study of 27 autistic children in which he found nearly 50% correlation between
MMR antibodies and antibodies to myelin basic protein in serum drawn from the children.
Dr. Singh emphasized that this study was very preliminary and that no conclusions
could be drawn from it. However, it does raise a higher index of suspicion that the MMR
vaccine may result in encephalitis and its various complications on a fairly large
scale."---Harold Buttram, MD
"Dr. Singh reported his own anecdotal survey of apparently vaccine-injured children with regressive autism. He found that 93% of cases had autistic symptoms shortly after vaccinations. Of these, 52% were post-MMR, 8% post MMR and DPT, and 33% post-DPT. Just 7% were not linked by the parents to any vaccination. He acknowledged that the survey was non-scientific."--David Thrower
"V. Singh,MDM, a specialist from Utah State who has studied over 400 cases of autism, found that these children had experienced an autoimmune episode, in which their own bodies had been made to attack the linings of their nervous systems. Dr. Singh characterized the epidemic as a "hyperimmune response to the measles virus." He stated that 55% of the families said that autism appeared soon after an MMR shot, and that 33% of families said it appeared soon after a DPT shot. Such neurologic damage is a well-established side-effect of the mercury, aluminum, and formaldehyde used in these vaccines."---Tim O'Shea, DC
John O'Leary, PhD
"John O'Leary, PhD, a world-class researcher and molecular biologist from
Ireland, using state-of-the-art sequencing technology, showed how he had found the measles
virus in the gut of 96% of autistic children, compared to 6.6% in normal children. This
virus did not come from the natural disease, but from the measles vaccine. Dr. O'Leary
found measles virus present in 75% of children with Crohn's disease. Crohn's has
traditionally been an intestinal disease of adults, following years of dietary abuse. Its
appearance in children is a new event, and Dr. O'Leary's work points to the measles virus
from vaccines as the likely cause."---Tim O'Shea, DC

"I observed that my unvaccinated children were healthier, hardier and more robust than their vaccinated peers. Allergies, asthma and pallor and behavioral and attentional disturbances were clearly more common in my young patients who were vaccinated. My unvaccinated patients, on the other hand, did not suffer from infectious diseases with any greater frequency or severity than their vaccinated peers: their immune systems generally handled these challenges very well."--Incao's Hepatitis B Vaccination Testimony
"Dr Kenneth Aitken, a specialist in the treatment of autism, believes there is a clear link between autism and the MMR jab. "When I was training, one in 2,500 [children were autistic]. Now it is one in 250. At the moment, the only logical explanation for this is MMR," he said."--Media
"Dr. Michael Goldberg, a California pediatrician and researcher, explained how it was impossible to have an epidemic based solely on genetics.

If we're right, this makes the tobacco mess look like a rounding error -- not only the scale of destruction, but you have children involved with lifelong conditions that require care. So not only do the major pharmaceutical companies take an enormous and potentially fatal hit, but you have the costs associated with treating an entire generation of children, many of whose parents can't treat them past a certain age, and you have the careers that will be destroyed across the board from the pharmaceutical companies themselves to the entire leadership of the AAP to many pediatricians who spoke up to the entire public health establishment at both CDC and NIH. The scale of destruction, if we're actually right, is so enormous I think it helps people understand why the debate is so fierce, why it's taking so long and why they're fighting so hard. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/vaccines/interviews/handley.html

Thus, the real question is when are vaccine apologists going to cease raising questions that have been answered and start admitting that Thimerosal-containing vaccines have mercury poisoned and are continuing to mercury-poison our children and ourselves to the point that some children and some adults are sub-acutely mercury poisoned and exhibit those symptoms that are used to in the diagnosis of a wide variety of neurodevelopmental (e.g., the autistic disorder, pervasive developmental disorder– not otherwise specified [PDD-NOS], Asperger’s, attention deficit disorder [ADD] and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD]) and other disorders (asthma, diabetes, obesity, multiple sclerosis (MS), and food allergies) in our children, and, for those old enough to miss the prenatal and early childhood Thimerosal-poisoning, “dementias” (e.g., Alzheimer’s) in ourselves.

S. Goldman, Ph.D & P.G. King PhD
Such marketing coincidences (Thimerosal in/Calomel out) seem to be events orchestrated by those who also stood to gain from the continuing the sub-acute mercury-poisoning of babies, which increases not only the short-term medical customer base in the affected children but also, because it causes many of them to develop life-long “chronic” diseases, increases the number of times these customers will need to be seen, treated, and, in most cases, prescribed medicines. Key realities about autism, vaccines, vaccine-injury compensation, Thimerosal, and autism-related research----Gary S. Goldman, Ph.D & P.G. King PhD
Factually, those who have and are investigating the interactions among government agencies, elected officials, health officials, academics, the vaccine manufactures, their consultants, and those who continue to defend the use of Thimerosal as a preservative without the requisite proof of safety have determined that there is clear evidence of prior and continuing collusion among those parties to directly or indirectly violate applicable federal laws (regulations) and statutes that place an absolute, non-dischargeable duty upon the vaccine makers to prove that the Thimerosal used as a preservative is safe to the legal standard minimum.

To the extent that this collusion exists, it appears to this reviewer that all those involved are knowingly participating in a racket and may, therefore, be subject to the applicable criminal provisions of the RICO (Racketeering, Influencing, and Corrupt Organizations) statutes as set forth in 18 U.S.C.A. Sec 1961 et seq. Key realities about autism, vaccines, vaccine-injury compensation, Thimerosal, and autism-related research----Gary S. Goldman, Ph.D & P.G. King PhD
Fifth, with respect to the myth’s claim, “by 2002 no new childhood vaccines with Thimerosal were being sold in the U.S.,” this is also false because, among other Thimerosal-containing vaccines that could be given to children in 2002, the Thimerosal-preserved influenza vaccine, which, by its nature, is a new vaccine every year, was effectively knowingly added to the recommended vaccination schedule for pregnant women as well as to the recommended childhood vaccination schedule in April of 200228 at a time when all doses of the influenza vaccine approved for “healthy children aged 6–23 months” were Thimerosal preserved.
Sixth, compounding the harm, in April of 2002, the CDC’s recommendation that the Thimerosal-preserved influenza vaccine be given to pregnant women who would be in their second and third trimesters of their pregnancies during the influenza season, thereby knowingly recommending the Thimerosal and mercury poisoning the developing child in utero when the risk of harm is even greater than it is postpartum and the results published in 197729 clearly found that Thimerosal-preserved influ vaccines that were given to pregnant women significantly increased (with a hospital-standardized relative risk of 2.0 or higher) their children’s risk of serious birth defects (cleft palate [RR = 7.1], microcephaly [RR = 2.3], and pyloric stenosis [RR = 2.0]).

Attempts by independent researchers to obtain the underlying data sets from the original authors in the epidemiological studies touted by the CDC and other vaccine apologists (except the
2004 Ip et al. study) as supporting the claims of “no link” have been repeatedly rebuffed. Interestingly, a November 2007 paper by Desoto and Hitlan, entitled Blood Levels of Mercury Are Related to a Diagnosis of Autism: A Reanalysis of an Important Data Set, independently reviewed the basis data from the previously published Ip et al. epidemiology study reporting no evidence of a link between the blood levels of mercury and autism. The reanalysis, with which the authors of the original epidemiological article agreed, found that the original article’s inaccurate conclusions were based on a significant calculation error and a less-than-appropriate choice of t-tail statistical test.
Thus, no independent analysis has been able to confirm the validity, or lack thereof, of the findings reported in the studies upon which the 2004 IOM committee relied. In
the case of the key U.S. study by Verstraeten et al., CDC officials have claimed that the original data sets have been “lost.”

"Despite the fact that the CDC's Davis et al methodology was fatally flawed
in regard to autism and thimerosal, the CDC's rogue team and their U of Washington allies
seem quite willing to continue diverting attention away from the substantial likelihood
that physician-injected ethylmercury has been an etiologic factor in many cases of autism
and related disorders."---Teresa Binstock

Autism is a neurological disorder caused by dysfunctional metabolic control over methylation reactions, and thimerosal appears to be a precipitating causative factor in many cases. The methionione cycle and the trans-sulfuration pathway leading to cysteine and glutathione synthesis are abnormal in autism. Genetic polymorphisms, present in only a small subpopulation, represent risk factors for autism. As illustrated in Fig. 11, some of these genetic factors impair detoxification and clearance of heavy metals, including thimerosal, and also impair the capacity for methylation. Delayed clearance of thimerosal further impairs methylation, including both DNA methylation and dopamine-stimulated phospholipid methylation, adversely affecting growth factor-directed development and the capacity for attention, respectively. Autism can be treated, and some of the most effective treatments, such as methylcobalamin, act by improving methylation. This encouraging therapeutic development reinforces the conclusion that thimerosal does indeed cause autism, and it does this by interfering with methylcobalamin synthesis. This molecular understanding should lead to new and improved treatments for autism and should provide a scientifically sound basis for the removal of thimerosal from all vaccines.

Federal health officials have
been criminally negligent in looking at the thimerosal-autism connection,
aside from relying on disputable and fallible cohort and epidemiological studies
as a means to cover their backs. Data from these kinds of studies provide
valuable fodder for pro-vaccine campaigns and have been shown to be an effective
way to avoid paying vaccine injury compensation to parents with permanently
damaged children.. The pro-vaccine agencies are very satisfied to
sponsor, fund and propagandize cohort studies to discredit any one of hundreds
of various adverse effects that have been associated with one or more vaccines.
Cohort studies are relatively cheap to perform, provide instant results, and do
not involve real clinical science to observe and measure actual biomolecular
activity in the subjects. A good analogy would be vaccination cohort studies
are to gold standard methodology as astrology is to astro-physical observation
with the Hubble telescope. The medical literature is absolutely riddled with
this kind of inaccurate science and Garrett and the rulers she represents at the
CFR, the vaccine makers and our health officials, are all too happy that she
rely on crap data of cohort and epidemiological calculations to sustain the
vaccine miracle myth. It basically boils down to if you fear the results of
undertaking a gold standard clinical trial, then resort to a cohort study.[2009 Dec] The Council of Foreign Relations

Kenneth Stoller [Kenneth Stoller] Some will have you believe that autism is some medical mystery that's always been around, one that we just have managed to get a handle on. So, show me the 30-year-olds with autism, the 40-year-olds with autism, and the 50-year-olds with autism. Guess what? They aren't there for the most part. The explosion in the number of children with autism is real, but most of the scientific community has ignored this. Let's face it: they have been encouraged to ignore it, and anyone getting close to the truth finds that they get their NIH research grants pulled. That's right…science is being manipulated, so that a big lie can stay alive, and those culpable can remain unaccountable.

lead researcher on this project, is unable to be with us this morning due to a
personal emergency. In her place, Dr. Deth will present her oral testimony.
....As many of us already know, the
incidences of autism have become increasingly prevalent in modern-day society.
Once considered a rare disease, effecting roughly 1 in 10,000 children, autism
now affects 1.5 Million of our Nation’s children, and this problem continues to
escalate rapidly.
....According to a recent “Autism
Alarm” released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the American Academy of Pediatrics,
currently 1 out of every 6 children are diagnosed with a developmental disorder
and / or behavioral problem.
....Even more alarming, today 1 out
of every 166 children in the United States is being diagnosed with an Autism
Spectrum Disorder. This major healthcare crisis is clearly reaching epidemic
proportions, and will not just simply “go away.” Opening Statement of Chairman Dan

" We have learned that a majority of parents whose children have late-onset or acquired autism believe it is vaccine-related. They deserve answers.

"Take this classic sequence from the Senate hearing on
April 6th this year about MMR and autism. Professor O’Leary from Ireland
was confirming that his evidence proved that Dr Andrew Wakefield was right. Our friendly
Dr Paul Offit showed his true colours with this response: "He
cannot have found something that suggests a link between autism and vaccines, because of
the possible consequences of such a finding." Consequences
to what? Paul Offit’s cushy job flying around the world teaching doctors vaccines are
safe? …… Paul Offit’s pharmaceutical shares?…….. Paul
Offit’s professional reputation? Paul Offit’s self-esteem? ………
Paul Offit’s……… vaccine patent? What is worse, he,
and most others representing the pharmaceutical companies which keep their families well
heeled, have no knowledge or interest in the hundreds of vaccine disasters previously
written up in their own skeleton ridden history books. If you showed them, they either
wouldn’t believe it, or they would laugh and say "But that was then…. We
know everything now.""---Hilary Butler
"Without hesitation, everyone except Dr Taylor said yes. Dr Taylor refused. You would think that if he was as certain as the others that his science was absolutely rock solid, there would have been no hesitation. But with this issue, we are not talking about medicine or children’s lives – we are talking about politics. And I would go further and say that in my opinion those vehemently denying any association between MMR and autism have scant regard for the children involved – they seem to fixate solely on the percentages vaccinated, and their own self-defence – the impact of negative articles on their reputation, prestige, and validity of previously published comments, and Wall Street shares."--Hilary Butler

Let me tell you a little bit about Simpsonwood. The Simpsonwood Conference
Center meeting happened in June of 2000. When the CDC had looked at the data
(right after they said the mercury should come out), they decided to look
further and see if maybe mercury was harmful. How's that for timing? They had a
guy working for them from Belgium, who was just here for a couple of years,
Thomas Verstraeten. They dumped the mercury issue in his lap and said, "Here,
look at the numbers." As it turns out, he was probably a pretty honorable guy. I
think he just wanted to do good science, and he was so far removed from American
politics and pharmaceutical company politics that he could try. He was honest.
He ran the numbers and his first run of the numbers was just shocking. They
showed an elevated rate of autism of 7.62 for kids who received more than 25
micrograms at one month of age compared to kids who received none. He sent his
findings out, and, not liking the numbers, they had him re-run them. So he
re-stratified the kids and broke them down to various categories and groups and
he managed to get the autism rate down to 2.48. Anything over 2.0 in a court of
law is considered causation. Remember, he started with 7.62. He wrote an e-mail
to his colleagues, a very famous e-mail called, "It Just Won't Go Away." I
almost titled the book that, because the phrase comes up repeatedly.
When you put the findings and the
e-mails together, the situation comes into context, and it becomes very clear
what they were saying, and that they were extremely concerned. An increased
autism risk of 2.48 was clearly unacceptable, so they re-ran the numbers again,
adding more kids in, and got the autism rate down to 1.69. Then they took the
new figure and they had this meeting at Simpsonwood where they invited the FDA,
the drug company people, the pediatrics people, and the government people, and
they had a little powwow. They didn't invite anybody from the public, including
SafeMinds. There was talk of inviting SafeMinds but, in the end, that group
didn't get an invitation. At this meeting Verstraeten spent two days presenting
his findings. There was a discussion and there was a transcriber there.
I sometimes wonder if these people
knew that they were being recorded, because when you read the minutes you just
can't believe the atrocities: they're shocking. I'm sure they didn't think that
the minutes would ever see the light of day. Thank God for the Freedom of
Information Act; America is a great country. Thank God we have a media and thank
God we have parents like the ones in SafeMinds who stayed on top of this.
Otherwise we would never have gotten this information. I'm not even an
investigative reporter. These people just dumped documents on me and I went
through them. That was hard, but it wasn't as hard as what they did, and I
really admire them.

I would also be particularly interested to learn of any documented cases of completely unvaccinated children who have later dramatically and inexplicably regressed into autism after a normal infancy. To date, no
such case has ever been identified to me.[pdf

"In July 2002, the Indianapolis Star newspaper quoted the lawyers Waters and Kraus as saying that "Lilly flim-flammed scientists for years with a 1931 study that concluded thiomersal wasn't harmful to humans". The Star went on: "The study, published in the American Journal of Hygiene, reported that merthiolate has a very low order of toxicity......for man". Digging further, Waters found out that the study's toxicity data came from experimental use of thiomersal by doctors from Lilly and Indianapolis City Hospital on meningitis patients during a severe outbreak in 1929-30. 'The 1931 study on a cohort of severely ill people (who all died) ended up being quoted in Lilly brochures into the 1980s', Waters said. 'It very clearly demonstrates an effort to do an unethical study and then paint the results in a certain way that helps them sell this product'. Lilly ignored or covered up later evidence that thiomersal, which contains 50 per cent mercury by weight, can be dangerous to humans", Waters said."--David Thrower
"There are many studies that seek to deny an MMR/autism link, but it is possible to demonstrate that each is flawed in several ways. These studies are also statistical/epidemiological-type studies - not studies of the actual children involved. They are also based upon small (for statistical-type studies) samples. There are strong grounds for believing that the safety studies of MMR were cursory, that the potential for damage was not recognised, and that subsequent safety follow-up has been conspicuously lacking. There are many papers that point - some of them powerfully - to an MMR/autism link. Some of these studies involve analysis of samples of the actual children involved. Putting the above conclusions together, there appears to be strong grounds for believing that children have been damaged, and are still being damaged, by MMR, and probably by other vaccines. No alternative credible explanation has been put forward for these children's condition. The explanation that their degeneration into autism is biologically linked to MMR or thiomersal, or both, is also supported by the consistent accounts of the parents of the actual children."--David Thrower 2003 Jan

A study from Cambridge University’s Autism Research Unit has revealed that 1 child in 60 in the UK is now autistic. Some calculate this to be ONE BOY in 38. The Cambridge University study’s author Simon Baron-Cohen says the increase in autism is due to: “Better recognition” ----this is baloney. Baron-Cohen is also quoted as saying the rise in autism is due to “Changing diagnostic criteria”---this is more baloney. Many of today’s autistic children cannot talk. What we are being told by Baron-Cohen is that prior to 1990, parents did not notice that their children could not talk, doctors did not notice, teachers did not notice. We need scientists with integrity, truly independent scientists. Not self-publicists. Our children are being failed The vaccination programme is definitely, unequivocally, absolutely, deeply implicated in what has happened to thousands of British children and tens of thousands of children worldwide.[2009 March] Autism March London 2009
Does the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine cause autism? I vote yes.

"When I first heard there was a link between autism and vaccines I said that was silly. The more you delve into it, when you look at the basic science and research done on animals and also look at individual cases and the evidence that there is no link, what I come away with is the question has not been answered!"----Dr. Bernadine Healy, former head of the National Institute of Health, on the autism and vaccines controversy.
There is a pandemic of autism among children in the western world and it is
spreading worldwide. Thousands upon thousands of children are being diagnosed as
autistic every day in the U.S.A., the U.K., and increasingly in Australia. A few
decades ago the incidence of autism affected only one child in a thousand but
now it is more than one child in a hundred. But the first most important question to be asked is, “Why has this pandemic
occurred over the last four decades?” and the answer is simple yet infinitely
complex. It has been caused by vaccinations of various kinds, but principally
the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine. [MMR]. This
has been known to the pharmaceutical industry, the Western governments, and to
the health and medical professions for decades but they have mounted one of the
most slick and collusive denials and distractive tactics ever known.
.....The evidence that vaccines cause autism is now clear, and convincing and
irrefutable. And possibly that there are links to other illnesses such as
asthma, allergies, diabetes, Crohn’s Disease and probably a range of other
illnesses which are on the increase, It has been admitted in Court Proceedings
in America by government medical experts and the cat is finally out of the bag.

"The Federal Government recently conceded a
real vaccine-autism lawsuit
in a real court and will soon pay a real (taxpayer-funded) settlement to
a real American family and a very real child with autism......If
I were the AAP, or ABC for that matter, I would feel downright silly stating
that "no scientific link exists," so soon after the
Journal of
Child Neurology published a study titled, "Blood Levels of Mercury Are
Related to Diagnosis of Autism: A Reanalysis of an Important Data Set." I would
also worry about parental reaction to learning that researchers had done due
diligence and reanalyzed data from a prior, hugely influential study that
(erroneously) found zero connection between mercury levels and autism......
Another study, freshly out of Harvard, likewise shows
a potential link between mercury and the autopsied brains of young people with
autism. The
American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology reports that a marker for
oxidative stress was 68.9% higher in autistic brain issue than controls (a
statistically significant result), while mercury levels were 68.2% higher.
