Medical Researchers Attack YouTube Videos That Warn About Dangers of Vaccinations

[Guest guest]

Just some information to read...The Facts..

Why Don't the Amish Have Autistic Children?

Autism is a difficult disorder to miss, as it is characterized by noticeably

abnormal or impaired development in social interaction and communication and a

markedly restricted array of activities and interests. And while scientific

consensus claims autism has been around for millennia at generally the same

prevalence, that prevalence is now considered to be one in every 166 children

born in the United States.

Therefore, with this devastating statistic in mind, one reporter set out to

analyze the autism rates among Amish communities. Why? Because perhaps searching

for autistic Amish children would reveal clues to the cause of autism ... and it

did.

The Clues Come Together

Since they have been cut off for hundreds of years from American culture and

scientific progress, the Amish may have had less exposure to some new factor

triggering autism in the rest of population. The likely culprit: vaccines.

Traveling to the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country in search of autistic Amish

children, the reporter, based on national statistics, should have found as many

as 200 children with autism in the community -- instead, he found only three,

the oldest age 9 or 10:

The first autistic Amish child was a girl who had been brought over from China,

adopted by one family only to be given up after becoming overwhelmed by her

autism, and then re-adopted by an Amish Mennonite family. (China, India and

Indonesia are among countries moving fast to mass-vaccination programs.)

The second autistic Amish child definitely had received a vaccination and

developed autism shortly thereafter.

The reporter was unable to determine the vaccination status of the third child.

Dangerous Effects of Thimerosal

In some vaccines, they use a mercury-based preservative called thimerosal that

keeps multiple-dose vials from becoming contaminated by repeated needle sticks.

After health officials became concerned about the amount of mercury infants and

children were receiving through thimerosal-tainted vaccines, the toxin was

phased out of U.S. vaccines starting in 1999.

However, due to mislabeling and other problems, its presence is still being

felt, and more and more children are suffering because of it.
