Chapter Six B
Vaccine Injury Controversies
Autism
97 When one travels in certain communities they can hear many of these stories every day first hand. Here is a series of videos put together in response to a television “news” show that declared vaccines do not cause autism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsLuR3X6cpg&list=PLJpPObXpZncOfT0bG2ghgkVb2Nxjd_bNe
98 Here is a list of doctors who successfully treat autism based at least in part on the vaccine injury theory.
99 This is a study of a small data set that failed to find a statistically relevant, obscure relationship that had no connection to whether or not vaccines cause autism. It was presented in the media as proof that there is no relationship between autism and vaccination. It was conducted by a private research company that often serves pharmaceutical companies. http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2275444
100 Here is the study by Dr. Andrew Wakefield and his team from the Royal Free Hospital in London. They published their findings in one of the leading medical journals in the world, “The Lancet,” in 1998. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9500320
Here is the retraction. It is short and mentions no flaw in the method of the study or the findings. The reasons given are contended by the authors of the paper. http://www.scribd.com/doc/293702768/Retraction-Ileal-lymphoid-nodular-hyperplasia-non-specific-colitis-and-pervasive-developmental-disorder-in-children
101 The Wakefield study was primarily looking at a wide array of clinical test results in a group of twelve children, some of whom had autism. They noted a temporal relationship to the mmr vaccine and, as all good scientists do, recommended further inquiry. Here is an article with links to twenty eight studies that found similar test results. They discuss complex biological changes in the digestive tracts of children and point to a relationship between the digestive and immune systems and the brain. This connection is no longer in doubt. As for the article linked to here, you can skip the article if you like and go straight to the list of published science at the bottom for further study. http://healthimpactnews.com/2013/new-published-study-verifies-andrew-wakefields-research-on-autism-again/
102 A list of doctors treating autism based on the gut, brain, immune hypothesis.
103 Here is the website of Generation Rescue, the organization founded by Jenny McCarthy after she cured her son of autism. http://www.generationrescue.org/
104 Here is the paper by Dr. Leo Kanner from 1943 in which he first describes autism. http://neurodiversity.com/library_kanner_1943.pdf
105 Comparison of symptoms of mercury poisoning and autism.
106 Autism is a complex illness with many causes, biological changes and behavioral abnormalities. There is no one cause or one cure. But a great deal of research has been done into the different causes, presentations, treatments and outcomes. You can find some of that research here. The library is constantly being expanded. http://outlawvaccinescience.weebly.com/brain-damage.html
Here is an excellent lecture by a doctor who has successfully treated autism. He discusses the current state of the science and treatment. Sadly, he was recently found in a river with bullet holes in his chest (2015). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNtPbUvGz-U
107 Connection between brain damage and vaccines from 19th century.
108 Here is an award winning documentary on the relationship between the DTP vaccine and brain damage from 1982. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiBiqaIjtB0
Here is a short segment from a 1976 episode of “60 Minutes” in which the CDC is caught lying through their teeth about the relationship between the swine flu vaccine and brain damage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMeU-818-YA&feature=youtu.be
109 Here is the page from the online version of the “Merck Manual” in which they mention that vaccines can cause encephalitis, or swelling of the brain. http://www.merckmanuals.com/home/brain-spinal-cord-and-nerve-disorders/brain-infections/encephalitis
110 Here is a list of 122 studies (at the time of this writing. The list is constantly growing) discussing the link between vaccines and autism. It is by no means exhaustive, but is a good place to begin. http://www.scribd.com/doc/220807175/122-Research-Papers-Supporting-the-Vaccine-Autism-Link
111 Here is a video of the director of the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding, discussing vaccines and autism on CNN. She gives conflicting testimony and the film editors do a great job of pointing out the inconsistencies. It is important to remember that autism is defined by its symptoms, so “autism like symptoms” means autism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh-nkD5LSIg
Here is a video clip of the retired chair of the chemistry department at the University of Kentucky. Among other things he discusses how impossible it is to hold an adult conversation with the CDC on the link between vaccines and autism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7RmLSXr1Os
112 Here is the “Wakefield Paper.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9500320
It was a collaboration between thirteen researchers, including one who noted similar results as early as 1972. Here is a link to his early paper. Sadly no free abstract is available but one can purchase access to the article. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673672922581
113 Here are the original findings of the CDC when they investigated the link between vaccines and autism. Their findings are very limited, considering only one ingredient and only vaccines given in the first month of life. If such study was conducted over the entire vaccine schedule it is likely the information discovered would be far worse. They then spent years reworking the data for their formally published paper, but the original findings cannot be ignored. The researcher who led the original discovery was Dr. Thomas Verstraeten. http://mercury-freedrugs.org/docs/00mmdd_EISAbstractSubmission_IncreasedRiskOfDevelopmentalNeurologicImpairmentAfterHighExposureToThimerosal-containingVaccine_.pdf
114 Here is the clip of Bill Posey, U.S. Representative from Florida, reading a segment of the testimony of Dr. William Thompson, senior scientist at the CDC, in which he describes throwing data in a trash can. The quote itself is near the end of the five minute clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGRjn_gIJw0
115 CDC efforts to hide the link between vaccines and autism.
116 CDC and establishment acknowledging that vaccines cause brain damage and autism like symptoms.
117 Science of vaccine brain damage and autism caused by the brain damage.
118 Here is Julie Gerberding's Wikipedia page. At the bottom they mention, as an afterthought, that she became president of Merck's vaccine division in 2009. This was directly after she left the CDC, though this fact is not mentioned by Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Gerberding
119 Here is the paper published four years after the original findings, in which it is declared there is no association between vaccines and autism. One of the authors, Dr. William Thompson, has gone on record describing how data was thrown in the trash to make this finding possible. See note 114. Also note that the original researcher, Dr. Verstraeten, was not involved in this study. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14754936
120 Here is the web page for the IOM report. In this short summary they mention that the biological mechanisms by which such injury could occur are only theoretical. Since this report was released a great deal of very specific science has been done demonstrating the biological mechanisms whereby vaccines injure people and lead to diagnoses such as autism. This research has led to successful treatments. As discussed elsewhere in this book, research into genetic causes of autism has yielded little in the way of specific insight or useful therapies. http://iom.nationalacademies.org/reports/2004/immunization-safety-review-vaccines-and-autism.aspx
121 Here is an analysis that found increasing autism with increasing vaccination. The elevation was consistent in every state in the U.S. suggesting local environmental factors were not involved. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21623535
This study found a three fold increase in autism diagnoses based on administration of just one vaccine. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21058170
This study by the same team found a nine fold increase in reliance on special education services in boys who received the hepatitis b vaccine. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02772240701806501
Here is a thorough analysis of the research regarding the role of mercury poisoning via vaccines among other vectors. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0009898115001023
Here is an analysis of the malfeasance in research purporting to show that injecting mercury, by all accounts a neurotoxin in small doses, is safe in vaccines. This analysis was completed by some of the leading scientists in mercury toxicity in the world. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4065774/
122 Vaccine profits themselves have been estimated in the tens of billions of dollars a year and growing. There are hundreds of vaccines in development and according to existing law manufacturers will all be free of financial liability claims. Not only this, but considering the number of diseases caused by vaccines, as demonstrated by the scientific studies cited in this book, if all the money made selling pharmaceutical drugs to treat these conditions dried up, it could be a huge financial hit to the industry.
Here is a brochure from the pharmaceutical industry trade group, Phrma, touting the development of new vaccines. Note how they have expanded the definition of vaccine far beyond its original meaning and now seem to be using it in a very broad, inclusive way. This appears to be an attempt to shift all research and development to liability free products. This brochure is from 2013, and the field is constantly shifting, but it gives an idea of the magnitude of the research and gold rush anticipated by the industry. http://www.phrma.org/sites/default/files/pdf/Vaccines_2013.pdf
123 In this video interview, Dr. Stephanie Seneff, senior biostatistician at MIT, discusses her analysis of the rising tide of autism. She mentions that she has identified a number of causative factors, the worst of which is the insecticide, glyphosate. She has also researched the role of aluminum from vaccines in the pandemic. Here is the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p61oTEGMxJg
Here is a paper she collaborated on regarding the role of aluminum in autism. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25349607
124 Here is the earliest paper published in the professional literature on adversomics. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2843136/
125 This article discusses adversomics. Near the end it discusses the growing interest on the part of investors. http://business.financialpost.com/fp-comment/lawrence-solomon-vaccinomics-personal-vaccines
126 Here is an article from the Huffington Post from 2008 in which she discusses this issue. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-kirby/dr-bernadine-healy-dont-d_b_101421.html
