Vaccines and Autism
As some of you know, My son is severly autistic. I have done a lot of internet research on the subject, and after reading the book EVIDENCE OF HARM, by David Kirby, I have come to believe that vaccines caused the disease in my son. P Up untill late 2002, Vaccines contained a preservative called Thirmerosal. Thirmerosal was 50% Mercury, which is a known Neurotoxin. IN 1989, The CDC (Center for Disease control) reccomended upping the vaccination schedule to twenty shots in the first two years of life. It had previously been three. IN 1999, they discovered that they wre injecting 5 times the amount of mercury in infants than what the FDA reccomended. A breakdown of the study shows that they used exposure over a two month time limit. This gave a false reading because most of the kids were given 4 shots in one day. This means that little babies were given 125 times more mercury than what was reccomended in federal guidelines! Taking the exposure out over two months is like measuring drunkeness by drinking a fifth of whisky over two months, when in truth, it was all drunk in a single night. A group of concerned parents realized what was going on, most of them in the medical feild in some capacity. In their research, they found that thirmerosal had been around since the thirties(When the first case of autism showed up) and had never really been -*test*-('")ed by the FDA. They also discovered that many of the people who have patents on certain drugs sit on the comittees that approve them! Here is an article from Usa Today summarized: QUOTE People often wonder why regulatory officials would protect drug makers. In large part, because the CDC and FDA policy decisions are made through advisory panels whose members have financial relationships with the same companies they are charged to regulate. The decisions of the 300 experts who sit on the FDA\'s 18 advisory committees affect billions of dollars in sales. The panel members play a crucial role in determining what drugs will be approved and participate in just about every major decision related to industry regulation. When it comes to vaccines, the large population in the USA transforms into a lucrative customer base when our government makes vaccines mandatory and keeps adding more and more to the list. Between 2003 and 2006, it was predicted that the annual global market for vaccines would rise from $6 billion to $10 billion, by Mark Benjamin for United Press International on July 21, 2003. Investors follow the decisions made by the advisory panels closely. A favorable vote by a committee can add hundreds of millions of dollars to a company\'s stock value which also means the potential for corruption in the panels is enormous. In a July 18, 2000 hearing, Burton mentioned the problem. \"We have a lot of doctors who serve on Federal advisory committees who have serious conflicts-of-interest problems. They?re allowed to vote on vaccines made by companies that they get money from.\" An analysis conducted by USA Today, of 159 FDA advisory committee meetings that took place between January 1, 1998, and June 30, 2000, revealed conflicts of interest were wide-spread: At 92% of the meetings, at least one member had a financial conflict of interest. At least one committee member had a financial stake in the topic under review at 146 of 159 advisory committee meetings. At 55% of meetings, half or more of the FDA advisers had conflicts of interest. At the 102 meetings dealing with the fate of a specific drug, 33% of the experts had a financial conflict. We really need to reform the FDA. Are they protecting us or their money? I am not sure. There have been many studies linking and exhonerating Thimerosal. The studies that exhonerate it comes from......The drug companies! If anyone thinks that this is a cockamaini theory, they need to look at the homeland security bill of 2002. Someone took the parents claims seriosly and put a rider in the bill sheilding the vaccine manufacturers from liability. It has since been repealed, and put backin by Senate majority leader Bill Frist. Frist is a doctor with strong ties to the drug manufacturers. Stricken families have no recourse for compensation or justice. The debate over Mercury and vaccines has made for some strange bedfellows. Republican Congressman Dan Burton has a grandson with autism, and it is rumored when he heard of the rider, he went to then majority leader Dick Army\'s office and the two of them got in a fistfight. Other poloticians on the ball include Ted KEnnedy, Deniss Kucinich, and John Mccain. My wife tells me I am obssesing over this, that the damage has been done and there is nothing we can do. I disagree. I can\'t turn away. The thought of holding my baby down while they injected him with poison has kept me up ant night and given me nightmares. I swear I will never back down, I am gong to join an activist group and fight these pigs untill there is no breath left in my body. I can\'t believe I was a mindless sheep. If any of you have kids with ADHD or Autism, check into this, I beg you. The name of the Book is Evidence of Harm, and it has won a prize for investigative reporting.
