Evidence Linking Autism Rise in Children to Vaccinations

    The WHO and US Government CDC are escalating a public psychological conditioning to create hysteria and panic among an uninformed public about an alleged “virus” H1N1 Influenza A, aka Swine Flu, whose alleged effects to date appear comparable with a common cold. Before people line up in the streets demanding their vaccinations for their children and themselves, it would be wise to remember, to paraphrase a 1992 campaign statement of Bill Clinton to George H.W. Bush: “It’s the vaccination, Stupid!”



    By countless scientific accounts, far more dangerous to human health than any reported incidences of Swine Flu are the dangers of severe health issues including paralysis, brain damage and even death arising from what is added to vaccines by virtually every major vaccine maker. Almost without exception, all commercial vaccines today contain various substances known as adjuvants designed to make the vaccine “work.” These adjuvants are the source of horrendous and sometimes deadly damage.



    It has been speculated for some time that there might be a link in the alarming rise in cases of autism among tiny infants and children and massive multiple vaccinations today given routinely to infants and children from the first hours of birth. There is clear and shocking evidence of the link between the two. If you do not have a strong constitution, you are advised not to read further.



    A new study shows a direct link between standard childhood vaccination series, MMR, and autism-like symptoms in monkeys. The principal scientist involved in the study, Dr. Laura Hewitson of the University of Pittsburgh, presented the alarming conclusions as an abstract pending publication at the International Meeting for Autism Research. It has been presented at scientific conferences in both London and Seattle, USA.

    The study compared vaccinated macaque monkeys with non-vaccinated macaques. No major flaws in the study have been revealed by any attending scientist. The vaccines included the popular MMR series. The study found a marked increase in “gastrointestinal tissue gene expression” and “inflammation issues” with those monkeys which received vaccinations. They are a common symptom of children with regressive autism.


    The study also found marked behavior changes and development differences in those monkeys given the vaccines versus those who were not. "Compared with unexposed animals, significant neuro-developmental deficits were evident for exposed animals in survival reflexes, tests of color discrimination and reversal, and learning sets," the study`s authors reported. "Differences in behaviors were observed between exposed and unexposed animals and within the exposed group before and after MMR vaccination."



    US Government-mandated research approved by Congress was to begin this year, but the funds were rescinded in early January. Claiming "conflict of interest" because of ongoing court cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a long-time supporter of infant vaccinations, withdrew the research plans.



    The most shocking of all is the recent and now common medical practice, reinforced by an aggressive pharmaceutical industry, of giving multiple vaccines, often virtually within hours of birth, to infants despite the fact that no study including all of the vaccine series commonly given to children in the US and UK, about 30 in all, has been conducted until now. The practice of newborn multiple vaccinations has become widespread in Germany and other EU countries over the past decade. Significantly there have surfaced reports of dramatically increased instances of autism in newborn and infants in various German hospitals over the past decade, precisely the period multiple vaccinations of newborn and infants has become routine.

    There has never been any evidence to suggest a link between vaccination and autism. It's an old rumor that just won't die. The subject has been well studied for decades now, and no such link has ever been found. Yet another government conspiracy myth that discerning Christians should avoid.

    Any discerning person will research the evidence and the rise of autism and ask themselves 'what has changed about our modern living and health which has caused this rise?' It doesn't take a Christian to ask this question.... but it does take a little common..... or make that ....uncommon sense.

    Look up mercury in wikipedia.... read its toxic effects and how it gets into the body. Although the peditricians have been told by the FDA that thimerisol is not in the vaccines for kids.... still wiki says it is in the flu vaccines.... the vaccine exception. There's been an increase in MS. Alzeheimers is stricking younger populations..... used to be a difficult disease to diagnose as it used to occurr in the elderly and was easily confused with or obscurred by the senitlity brought on by hardening of the arterities and atherosclerotic conditions..... with diagnosis confirmed by autopsy showing abnormal accumulation of aluminum in the brain and the development of abnormal tangles of nuerons.

    If one does a survey of international news over time.... They would discover that there's been more than one or two incidents where big pharma released flawed products on an unsuspecting population with failure to disclose that required testing had prevented their release in another population.

    Only people can have and exercise morals and have ethics. Corporations and industry only exist to make profit: It doesn't take rocket science to realize that if you need a consumer to make money, but haven't a consumer.... if you're positioned right and making money is your interest then some 'needs' can be manufactured. Some obsolescence is truely a product of new technology...... but some can be promoted or programmed for gain..... Hence microsoft stops up dating patches or providing support for windows 3., 95, 98, ME, XP..... Vista, ......eventually. Automotive manufactures update models and expire others, Government adds regulations from safety features to emission controls... and creates a market need from those who were doing fine in 'old clunkers'. I was viewing my t.v. last January with chs 3, 5, 10, 15, 21, 23, 33, 44, and 52.... with only rabbit ears.... no cable. Now that its digital, with an added electric dependant antenna and separate digital box decoder, most days I do well to get 2 channels.... which it is unpredictable what 2 I'll get. Industry/ government...... creating a market? I don'know..... but can't help but wonder.

    Biological organisms maintained or designed in military laboratories? The DOD involved and paid for producing public promotion for vaccine? DOD connections suggested by the Donald Rumsfield connections.... and the nepotistic exchanges of personnel between FDA and or CDC and big pharma...... and the giant lobby of congress by pharmaceutical companies and the control of professional publications and emphasis on material due to the finacial sponsorship of drug companies..... and it is supposed to be nonsense if one doesn't ask questions and trusts every thing they are told? Give me a break!

    Google isn't everything but start using it.
    Or better yet........ use startpage.com and your searchs wont be stored.

    That's correct. And any discerning person will likewise find that there is no link between autism and vaccinations.

    Because some people do not want their presuppositions questioned. Such behavior is viewed as an attack on their personally perceived intellect.

    That's an excellent description of the anti-vaccination wacko's that buy into this tripe.

    Your links, please? Discussion which shows you read the content of the OP's link?

    Oh...... you only have opinion and attacks?

    I see you're still a baby and only know how to attack and call names. I'm your senior! I understand you have a need for attention.

    http://autism.about.com/od/causesofautism/p/ontherise.htm

    From the article:

    "In the 10 years between 1993 and 2003, the number of American schoolchildren with autism diagnoses increased by over 800%."

    "In 1999, thimerosal was removed from most vaccines."

    "There has been a slight decrease in the number of annual autism diagnoses. This change, in some researchers' view, is highly signficant -- and goes a long way toward proving the thimerosal theory."

    Just something to think about.

    Autism/vaccine data was faked:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield

    There's no link between autism and vaccination:

    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/05/090526202720.htm

    The following reports (which are not online) also confirm there there is no link between autism and vaccinations:
    United Kingdom's Committee on Safety of Medicines 1999 study on the MMR Vaccine.
    Medicines Commission Agency/Committee on Safety of Medicines 2000 study on the safety of MMR vaccine.
    American Medical Association study in 2000 piblished by LJ Tan.
    Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders study by Osterling & Dawson, 1994.
    Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders study by JL Adrien et al in 1991.

    Parents should make their own educated choice.

    I agree 100%. It's not necessary to fabricate a vaccine/autism link to support the notion that parents should make their own choice.

    Agreed. As with any health decision, parents should be informed and make their choice.

    That information should be armed with the fact that the one study that linked autism to vaccinations was done by a researcher who manipulated his data largely because he was invested in developing a competing product to the MMR vaccine. The study and head researcher has since been soundly denounced by the medical world and all other studies in this field have found no link between autism and vaccinations. Johnv's links above outline this.

    The other information parents should be armed with is the very real evidence that outbreaks in highly infectious and potentially fatal diseases in children that were thought to be under control in the developed world because of vaccinations are making a comeback in children who are not vaccinated. The outbreaks are starting in large communities like traditional mennonites and amish communities who have never vaccinated. Their reliance on herd immunity that has traditionally been high is now starting to lose its effectiveness because there are more people outside of these communities who are not vaccinating from this false scare.

    CDC: Mumps Outbreak --- New York, New Jersey, Quebec, 2009
    WebMD: Measles Outbreaks Worry CDC - Surge in Measles Cases Blamed on Parents Who Won't Vaccinate Kids

    So definitely, make your own decisions on vaccinations. Just make sure you are getting the right information.

    Some folks are not paying attention. the issue is not with the vaccines themselves. It is with the adjuncts that go with them. And when the vaccines are tested they are done so without the adjuncts and preservatives so the tests and studies are not reliable. What is unfortunate is the personal attack on those who question vaccines like is found in this thread and the ad hominem against any source that questions it as well.

    Likewise, adjuct/adjuvant opponents are not paying attention. The adjuvants in question are well-tested, and no link them and, say, autism, has been demonstrated to exist.

    Regarding this new study, I would be interested in hearing their results. But would wait for publication and peer review before using the data to say anything definitive.

    And like any other study that goes through the scientific method, I likewise welcome it.

    Completely untrue. Vaccines are tested with adjuncts and the adjuncts themselves are under a lot of testing.

    Here is a search result of thiomersal in PubMed the most commonly accused adjunct.

    You are right. There is no link between vaccinations and autism.

    However there is lots of fear mongering. I suppose there are still a few people around insisting that putting fluoride in water is a Communist plot to poison us. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_to_water_fluoridation

    Sidebar: I'm curious if you'll actually change your mind if shown. At least you're now acknowleging that the vaccine itself, adjuvant aside, it not unsafe. So we're getting somewhere. I've linked in other threads that thimerasol and squalene aren't linked to autism. I'll be glad to do it again, assumign no one else beats me to the punch.
