New Study: Declining Autism Cases

Tied to

Removal of Mercury from Vaccines

Two Unrelated Government

Databases Show

Same Downward Trend in Autism Cases

A

new study published today (March 1,) shows that the rate

of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs) in children has decreased following

removal of thimerosal, a preservative containing the neurotoxin mercury,

from American childhood vaccines. The study, published in the Journal of

American Physicians and Surgeons, a peer reviewed journal, by Dr. Mark

Geier and Geier examined two independent databases maintained by the

government – one national and one state.

The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database maintained

by the Centers for Disease Control and the Californian Department of

Developmental Services (CDDS) database each showed the same downward

trend for the period from 2002 through 2005. According to the study

" [t]he results indicate that the trends in newly diagnosed NDs

correspond directly with the expansion and subsequent contraction of the

cumulative mercury dose to which children were exposed from

[thimerosal-containing vaccines] through the U.S. immunization schedule. "

The study examined the trend for cases of autism during the period

beginning 1994 and ending 2002 compared with the period from 2002 to

June, 2005.

The trends for increases and decreases of cases of autism found in the

VAERS national database were consistent with the trends found in the CDDC

California database. Most significantly, in each database the increasing

and decreasing trends correlate with the time that the exposure to

thimerosal through the immunization schedule was increased and then

decreased after removal of mercury containing vaccines. " The

consistency of the effects observed for the spectrum of NDs, including

autism and speech disorders, and the agreement between the observations

from two separate databases, support the conclusion that the effect is real

and not a chance observation. " The study found that the magnitude of

the change in the decreasing trend of cases was significant after removal

of mercury from vaccines. Data from the U.S. Department of Education, a

third database, showed a recent decrease of autism diagnoses that is

consistent with the findings in the two databases.

The authors show

that the biological plausibility of their statistical findings is supported

by recent toxicological and molecular studies that reveal the mechanism by

which mercury from vaccines can cause damage to the developing brains of

children. A recent study by researchers at the University of

Washington has shown that ethylmercury from

thimerosal in vaccines can cross from the bloodstream into the brain in

toxic amounts which can remain in brain tissue for many years. This finding

contradicted the untested view about the toxicity of ethylmercury in

vaccines that prevailed in public health for 75 years. Other researchers

have shown that minute concentrations of mercury, far lower than previously

believed and far less than other toxins such as lead, can destroy neurons

and damage DNA within hours of exposure.

Such low

levels of mercury, which likely are reached in infant brains via vaccine

thimerosal exposure, can disrupt cell signaling and metabolic pathways

necessary for normal brain development. Studies in mice, rabbits,

monkeys, rats and other animals support these findings. Further studies

in children have found evidence of mercury toxicity, metabolic disruption

and oxidative stress that is consistent with the author's

statistical findings that thimerosal in vaccines causes autism and

developmental disorders.

The authors point out that their finding that the VAERS and CDDS

databases show strong associations between thimerosal containing vaccines

and neurodevelopmental disorders completely contradicts the 2004 findings

contained in a report published by the Institute of Medicine of the

National Academy of Sciences – which was based on data

controlled exclusively by the Center for Disease Control's National

Immunization Program and

unavailable to outside researchers. In arguing

that their study's findings justify additional research the authors

point out that the handling of vaccine safety data by the Centers for

Disease Control has been called into serious question in a 2005 report

published by the Institute of Medicine
