{Disarmed} Those who would control the purse strings will not let this research happen...

[Guest guest]

Speaks louder than... research specifically to the vaccine/mercury connection...At the last minute this was taken out of consideration and the HELP committee refused to put it back in. This is an unmistakable indication that those who would control the purse strings will not let this research happen.

I'm not sure why anyone expected, or is shocked that the language in the Combating Autism Act was taken out of consideration at the last minute for research specifically to the vaccine/mercury connection? The reality of the situation is that Eli Lilly will always be protected from the systematic mercury poisoning of a generation of children...for God's sakes, after leaving the CIA in 1977, H.W. Bush served as Corporate Director of Eli Lilly appointed by none other than Dan Quayle’s father, who owned controlling interest in the Lilly Company. Vague promises?...the Combating Autism Act is mastering the politics of deception! http://tinyurl.com/jrqaq http://tinyurl.com/rx7h2 http://tinyurl.com/n5w6o

In another example of his "patriotism," Frist engineered the insertion into the Homeland Security bill of a provision that would protect Eli Lilly from lawsuits over Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used in its vaccines...The Frist-authored rider shields Lilly by forcing those lawsuits into a special "vaccine court," where they can be easily scuttled, potentially saving Lilly hundreds of millions.

http://tinyurl.com/f55m6 Eli Lilly's Political Contributions

http://tinyurl.com/m6u4n Frist is author of a bill to protect vaccine makers from lawsuits over vaccine preservatives...Lilly boosted the sales of Frist's book on bioterrorism published after Sept. 11, 2001, by buying 5,000 copies and distributing them to doctors around the country. Frist's spokesman said Lilly's promotion of the book did not affect the company's relationship with the senator. As the head of the political committee to elect Republican senators, Frist was heavily involved in fund raising and Lilly has been a top Republican donor...Of the at least $1.68 million the company and its employees gave in federal campaign contributions for this year's elections, $226,250 went to the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee that Frist had led. That's about $100,000 more than Eli Lilly contributed to the Democratic counterpart group.

That there is any resistance to looking into the vaccine/mercury connection to autism is reason alone to insist that it stay in. What are they afraid of? http://tinyurl.com/sxnao 2: the overthrow of a government by those who are governed http://tinyurl.com/nf8fo

The specific language you are looking for is the language that wasleft out that was agreed upon by all the autism organizations thatwould direct research specifically to the vaccine/mercury connectionand create an oversight board to insure that it happened.At the last minute this was taken out of consideration and the HELPcommittee refused to put it back in. This is an unmistakableindication that those who would control the purse strings will not letthis research happen. That there is any resistance to looking into the vaccine/mercuryconnection to autism is reason alone to insist that it stay in. Whatare they afraid of?For all the hundreds of millions of dollars spent already on autismresearch funded by the CDC, the NIH, CAN, AS/NAAR, they have producedalmost nothing that can benefit our children now, or that would be athreat to the autism epidemic perpetrators. There is nothing in theCAA that would indicate we will not get $1 billion more of the same. "Trust us" is not good enough. Our children deserve better protectionfrom the negligent practices of government public health agencies andvague promises off the record that they'll look into it -- and that isall that's in the CAA, vague promises.A-CHAMP is not trying to convince other organizations to not endorsethe measure, they are just not wasting anymore time supporting it.Lenny
