Shocking and brillant testimony about the dangers of childhood vaccinations given to the United States government by concern citizens. On June 26, 2011 – these courageous (concerned) citizens came together in support of H1055 – a bill proposing to add “parent choice” to the options on whether your child should receive a vaccination or not. This is a human rights issue. We MUST raise awareness about this issue – watch this video NOW and SHARE IT with your friends and family – immediately! (thank you)

Vaccine bombshell: Baby monkeys develop autism after routine CDC vaccinations

Natural NewsMay 7, 2012

(NaturalNews) If vaccines play absolutely no role in the development of childhood autism, a claim made by many medical authorities today, then why are some of the most popular vaccines commonly administered to children demonstrably causing autism in animal primates? This is the question many people are now asking after a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh (UP) in Pennsylvania revealed that many of the infant monkeys given standard doses of childhood vaccines as part of the new research developed autism symptoms.

For their analysis, Laura Hewitson and her colleagues at UP conducted the type of proper safety research on typical childhood vaccination schedules that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) should have conducted — but never has — for such regimens. And what this brave team discovered was groundbreaking, as it completely deconstructs the mainstream myth that vaccines are safe and pose no risk of autism.

Presented at the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) in London, England, the findings revealed that young macaque monkeys given the typical CDC-recommended vaccination schedule from the 1990s, and in appropriate doses for the monkeys’ sizes and ages, tended to develop autism symptoms. Their unvaccinated counterparts, on the other hand, developed no such symptoms, which points to a strong connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders.

Included in the mix were several vaccines containing the toxic additive Thimerosal, a mercury-based compound that has been phased out of some vaccines, but is still present in batch-size influenza vaccines and a few others. Also administered was the controversial measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which has been linked time and time again to causing autism and various other serious, and often irreversible, health problems in children (http://www.greenhealthwatch.com)

“This research underscores the critical need for more investigation into immunizations, mercury, and the alterations seen in autistic children,” said Lyn Redwood, director of SafeMinds, a public safety group working to expose the truth about vaccines and autism. “SafeMinds calls for large scale, unbiased studies that look at autism medical conditions and the effects of vaccines given as a regimen.”

Vaccine oversight needs to be taken from CDC and given to independent agency, says vaccine safety advocate.

Adding to the sentiment, Theresa Wrangham, president of SafeMinds called out the CDC for failing to require proper safety studies of its recommended vaccination schedules. Unlike all other drugs, which must at least undergo a basic round of safety testing prior to approval and recommendation, vaccinations and vaccine schedules in particular do not have to be proven safe or effective before hitting the market.

“The full implications of this primate study await publication of the research in a scientific journal,” said Wrangham. “But we can say that it demonstrates how the CDC evaded their responsibility to investigate vaccine safety questions. Vaccine safety oversight should be removed from the CDC and given to an independent agency.”

Donald Trump publicly links vaccines to autism

April 6, 2012

(NaturalNews) In a stunning development for the ostracized, often criticized, vaccine safety awareness movement, cause celebre, and business mogul, Donald Trump raised concern about vaccinations on Monday, April 2, the anniversary of the fifth annual World Autism Awareness Day. Trump ‘warned’ Fox News viewers he “strongly believes that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are linked to exposure to vaccines.”1

During the interview, the tycoon revealed that a series of casual observations led him to the conclusion that ‘”monster” vaccinations cause Autism. The remark was probably a bombshell for pro-vaccine advocates including doctors, pharmaceutical companies, the government – and oh yes, Bill Gates. They have all fervently denied that observation -long a tenet of ‘science-based research’ – has anything to do with a medical outcome.

Trump acknowledged that speaking out against vaccines and the vaccine schedule is very controversial. But then he went on to state: “…I couldn’t care less. I’ve seen people where they have a perfectly healthy child, and they go for the vaccinations and a month later the child is no longer healthy.”

Trump’s statement is a victory for parents who have long believed vaccines contributed to the neurological damage their children suffered post -vaccination. Although Trump is not against vaccines, he has spoken out before regarding his concerns about the increasing number of required immunizations in the childhood vaccination schedule.

Autism Rates Rise with Increase in Vaccination Schedule

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) just released a study based on 2008 data revealing Autism rates have risen to an all-time high. Health records for 8 year old children in 14 states were analyzed showing Autism now affects 1 in 88 children; and 1 in 54 boys in the U.S.2.

Between 1960 and 1980 – children were subjected to 24 and 25 doses of vaccines. As of 2010, infants and children are exposed to 70 vaccines in the same time period. To put this in perspective – a child born today will receive more vaccine doses by the time he is six months old than his mother did by the time she went to college. With the addition of vaccinations to the adult schedule; a person will receive close to 167 vaccine doses over their lifetime. It is interesting to note that Alzheimer’s rates are also increasing as more vaccines are administered to senior citizens. Subsequently vaccine manufacturers are now wallowing in a 27 billion dollar a year industry. At what cost to our children; at what financial loss to America’s families?

The CDC data even becomes more compelling when individual state demographic rates are examined. The number of children identified with ASDs ranged from 1 in 210 children in Alabama to 1 in 49 children in New Jersey and 1 in 47 children in Utah. On the other hand the state of Iowa is showing 1 in 718 children are at risk for ASDs.

Four states – four different environments – with wide variations in state-wide levels of environmental toxic exposure. If one only considered the theory of environmental pollution, New Jersey, in comparison to the other three states would be an obvious concern. But, what about Iowa? Toxic chemicals from pesticides have certainly affected the waterways. And yet, their children are the most protected from ASDs. Alabama and Utah on the other hand have high rates of vaccination compliance – very low environmental pollution – and their rates of autism are showing the greatest concern. 3.

ASDs Neurological Disorders Now Showing in the Adolescent Population

With the introduction of HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix into the adolescent vaccine schedule, symptoms eerily similar to ASDs are now emerging in the 9 to 26 year old male and female population.
SANE Vax has been following the VAERS data over the past 6 months and have been saddened to see the increase in the number of adverse injuries and deaths that have occurred post-vaccination.

See our latest chart located at http://sanevax.org entitled VAERS HPV Vaccine Adverse Injury Report.

It is more than apparent government health authorities, politicians, and the medical industry are going to continue whitewashing the sacred vaccine cash cow until medical consumers are faced with the largest scandal the world has ever witnessed.

Medical consumers can no longer trust the “First do no harm” platitude. The harm has been done. The United States is dealing with a full-fledged Autism epidemic and the global media is reporting it. We cannot stand idly by and watch the pandemic spread throughout the world. Medical consumers must hold those in charge of creating this man-made plague accountable for their actions before it’s too late.

Rise in Autism Rates: “Growing Public Health Issue”

Curt Linderman
Pressforactivism.com
April 6, 2012

The primary concern that parents of children already affected by autism have with the CDC’s newest numbers is the lack of true concern from the government, the medical industrial complex and the main stream media. President Barrack Obama released his World Autism Awareness Day Presidential Proclamation on April 2nd 2012 (1) and called the epidemic rise in numbers a “growing public health issue”.

 

Groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics (2), Autism Speaks (3), the CDC and others have simply submitted press releases calling for more awareness, earlier diagnosis protocols and earlier interventions. To put this into the perspective of a fairly current “epidemic” that was and still is politically expedient to manipulate the masses with, this approach is akin to telling the growing AIDS afflicted population that with the rise in AIDS cases we need to have more hospital beds, medications to treat the pain and suffering and more medical professionals to support the afflicted as they die in record numbers.

What do you think the AIDS activists across this planet would do if President Obama issued a presidential proclamation stating that we need to be “more aware” of the growing AIDS crisis in this country and abroad? They would have taken to the streets and demanded action! In fact, violence might have ensued. They would demand answers about how to stop the epidemic and they have! Many in the autism community simply allow these despicable government and private organizations to perpetrate their condescending inaction without so much as batting an eye.

The new CDC numbers (4) are from a study done in 2008 on 8 year old children. How is it that the American government, while pushing their poisonous “swine flu” vaccines just a couple of years ago, could have swine flu numbers on an almost daily basis yet it takes eight years and millions of dollars to determine the autism numbers when the kids are so easily identifiable? Adding insult to injury, is the very real fact that states can declare an “epidemic” of measles, whooping cough or any other “vaccine preventable” disease at the drop of a hat and immediately go into attack mode against those “nasty unvaccinated children and their woefully ignorant parents”.

While the numbers are already outdated, they are indeed very frightening and should be causing far more alarm than they seem to be. 1-88 children in this age group have an autism diagnosis and these numbers break down further to 1 – 54 boys with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). In a recent article posted by Marcella Piper Terry, (5) the math on the antiquated numbers works out to a far more concerning scenario than the governmental agencies and the industrial medical complex want you to realize. This is a growing pandemic that could very well destroy this nation. Given the CDC numbers, currently we should have 1-48 for 7 yr olds, 1-42 for 6 yr olds and going all the way to 1-29 3 year olds affected by autism!

These are not projected numbers, these are the numbers of children today that were not yet born to take part in the CDC study and these are also numbers that follow the math from the CDC study. As more vaccines have been added to the schedule and the toxic burden on our children increase exponentially from year to year, these numbers are on the conservative side!

Scared yet? You should be! If you are a young couple thinking about a family in the near future, you should be terrified! If you’re a soon-to-be grandparent, you should be appalled at the government and industries inactions and furthermore, you should be frightened for what your children have in store for you. Autism is a devastating disorder that can destroy families and in the vast majority of cases, cause bankruptcy or economic concerns that will most certainly “trickle-up” to your bank accounts and savings as well!

School systems are already over taxed with special needs children and this inaction from our government and lip service from pathetic “non-for-profit” organizations that pay their staffs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year should be outraging all Americans. Yet we sit idly in our easy chairs and watch the lies unfold before us, waiting for the evening news to end so that we can begin our “must see TV” evening of mind blowing idiocy as our country collapses beneath our feet.

Shame on all of us…

78 percent increase in childhood autism rates over past decade coincides with sharp uptick in vaccination schedules

(NaturalNews) The rate of autism among American children has nearly doubled over the past decade, according to a new report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), jumping from about one in 150 children back in 2000 to about one in 88 children in 2008, which is the last time official estimates were calculated. And interestingly, this steady rise in autism rates coincides directly with CDC-endorsed vaccination schedules that have also risen sharply since the 1980s.

Back in 1983, for example, the CDC recommended only ten vaccines for children from birth through six years old (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/images/schedule1983s.jpg). Today, that number has risen significantly to 29 vaccines and counting, many of which are now administered all at one time or in combinations like the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine (http://www.cdc.gov).

And yet the mainstream medical system and its allies in the government and media are willfully ignoring this glaring fact, blaming “unknown” causes and “genetics” for causing autism, which are the two most common catch-all scapegoats. And in explaining the drastic rise in autism rates over the years, the talking heads actually claim that there is no rise — the seemingly elevated autism rates are merely the result of improved autism screening methods that are now identifying more cases.

Vaccines, fluoride, MSG, GMOs, toxic chemicals, processed foods — the real causes of autism

Sadly, these laughably unscientific excuses for this epidemic condition are actually being taken seriously by many people, while the true causes of autism — vaccines, fluoridated water, monosodium glutamate (MSG), genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), toxic chemicals, and processed foods — continue to remain taboo subjects when talking about autism.

But any rational human being that takes the time to objectively investigate the science behind how autism spectrum disorders are, at the very least, spurred on by these and other toxins, will quickly realize that the ugly truth about autism is being concealed from the public. And while these factors may not cause autism symptoms in every single person that is exposed to them, they surely trigger it in many, especially when exposures are combined and persistent.

Vaccines, for instance, which the medical establishment have presumptuously declared to play absolutely no role in autism, continue to show up in independent, non-pharma-sponsored research as a cause of autism. Whether they contain thimerosal (mercury) or not, vaccines are definitively linked to neurological disorders that were largely non-existent prior to mass-vaccination campaigns.

Even the kangaroo “vaccine court” has quietly admitted this, having settled with several families whose children were injured by vaccines. Back in 2009, for instance, a vaccine court ruled that Bailey Banks, a young boy who suffered acute brain damage after getting the MMR vaccine, had indeed been injured by the vaccine. Special Master Richard Abell wrote at the time that “the MMR vaccine at issue actually caused the conditions from which Bailey suffered and continues to suffer” (http://www.ageofautism.com).

The case was one of several that has received little or no media attention, and yet it speaks volumes about the dangers associated with vaccines. It also exposes the lies of the deniers who have declared that vaccines are in no way related to autism — case closed.

And besides vaccines, fluoridated water, MSG (http://www.msgtruth.org/autism.htm), GMOs (http://www.ageofautism.com), toxic chemicals both in the environment and in the food supply, and processed foods in general have all been linked to autism spectrum disorders as well (http://www.tacanow.org/family-resources/living-in-a-toxic-world/).

World Autism “Awareness” Day 2012 and We Are Not Buying It Any More

Did you hear the crashing thud last week when the CDC announced that 1 out of every 88 children has Autism? That was the sound of the medical establishment losing its moral authority in the Autism conversation.   Despite Tom Insel, head of the IACC, spinning the message again as “better diagnosing”, the sharp reality of the rise of the Autism numbers cut through his assurances.

We are at a watershed moment much like a point in the television news coverage of the Vietnam War immediately following the Tet Offensive in January 1968. The horrific images caught on camera and the number of reported casualties was so grim they didn’t match the cheery sound bites fed to the media from the American military leadership.

In the Autism Crisis, you could see the beginning of a palpable shift last week. In the news coverage you glimpsed a bit of skepticism in the eyes of the reporters being fed the same lines, by the parade of frequent denialists, that were the mainstay of the conversation several years ago when the new number was 1 out of 150 children. Perhaps this is because Autistic children aren’t just statistics anymore; they belong to every one of us.  There isn’t anyone left who doesn’t have a connection to an Autistic child. The party line “better diagnostics” doesn’t fit with what every single one of us, including the camera man and reporter, is experiencing on the ground. We see Autistic children everywhere. And the second equally clear reality; we didn’t grow up with Autistic children.

People then say, “Well they were sent away.” Away where?  De-institutionalization began in 1963 so conservatively from 1970 forward 1 out of every 88 children would have been Autistic and living right in our communities. But they weren’t because they didn’t exist.  I am a clinical social worker and in the 1990’s I worked for a large public community mental health agency.  My patients were primarily chronically mentally ill adults, many of which lived in group homes we supervised. There were no Autistic adults. I saw Schizophrenia and trauma and clients dually diagnosed with psychiatric and substance abuse issues. Frankly I saw it all and it was pretty rough, but I never saw Autism.

Doctors aren’t, as a stereotype, known for their small egos, yet last week they allowed themselves to be blamed for misdiagnosing Autism since the 1940’s. With a small exception of subtle cases, Autism is not hard to diagnose. Granted as an Autism mom I’ve become more familiar than the average civilian, yet with no medical training, I can spot a kid on the Spectrum from three aisles away in Target on a busy Saturday morning. It’s mind boggling that as an entire profession doctors are letting themselves take the fall for missing thousands and thousands of children who would have been flapping, stimming, possibly nonverbal, in diapers at 10 years old, and in some occasions violent. Yet, we didn’t hear doctors utter a peep in defense of their profession last week. Are we really to believe they would take this level of criticism without firing back? If we are willing to accept that our physicians are that poorly trained and that incompetent aren’t we terrified as a nation about our medical care? For any other profession accused of this level of incompetence there would be Congressional Hearings!  They didn’t misdiagnose these children because they didn’t exist. “Better diagnosing” is bullshit.

Parents no longer believe what they are told about Autism or vaccine safety in the news because it is incongruous with what they are experiencing in their lives; we see more Autistic children every year and we hear vaccine injury stories far too frequently. The word ‘mystery’ doesn’t fit for Autism any more either and neither does saying “we have no idea”. Parents aren’t buying it. We have seen too many linear experiences of regression into Autism following vaccine injury.  Doctors cannot point to actual safety studies for the current vaccine schedule because they haven’t been done.  Because the medical establishment has refused to study vaccine safety with any credibility, parents are left with only one reasonable option given these soaring Autism numbers – to opt out of vaccination.

            

The toothpaste is out of the tube. Like Westmoreland during Vietnam, Insel can continue to spew platitudes, but public support is no longer with the ‘war on disease’ as it is being fought with the unwinnable strategy of the most aggressive vaccine schedule of any country on earth.  Parents are asking whose war is this anyway?  Why is the government more preoccupied with my child’s vaccination status than I am as the parent? Like the moms of Vietnam soldiers, we Autism moms have come to understand that our children were  considered necessary and acceptable collateral damage in the war on disease. I have never met a parent willing to sacrifice their child for the greater good of the herd.

Under the current administration we have seen a huge increase in Autism and no leadership to speak of. The people in charge don’t know what they’re doing and have proven they can’t be trusted. In a domineering relationship there comes a moment, as quick as the green flash as the sun sets at the horizons edge, where the submissive partner takes their power back for good. Parents are taking back control of their children’s health. This is the dawn of a new era in Autism leadership.
