Les Incompetents? About being more objective about things

[Guest guest]

Group and Individuals, thereof:

Here's something I received from today's (April 5, 2008) issue of the

Schafer Autism Report (SAR). I've been reading the SAR for some time

now (5 years? +) and have tried hard not to take sides on the

mercury/vaccine issue until the jury gets back to us on it, but the

issue does beg the question, what jury?

To be balanced and objective... about what surely must concern most

of us here, I thought I should maybe post this story for us who maybe

don't have access to it. What would be more objective about " not "

posting it I'm wondering, if justice is our thing, justice of

education, thereof? .. .

As much to solving problems by identifying them before they become

bigger problems, the issue does concern the government's

responsibility to do more about supporting us in what we are trying

to do to help our children and victimized individuals be all they can

be given the circumstances to education, of justice, thereof. [Of

Communication?]

We are more just or we are not in that respect of what we do.

OPEN LETTER

Les Incompétents: My Open Letter to the

American Academy of Pediatrics

As a pediatrician, who has been a fellow of the American

Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for two decades, I find the AAP's

approach to the autism epidemic to be deeply disturbing. Not only

have they allowed the myth of better diagnosing (as the reason for

all the notice given to affected children) to be perpetuated, but

when they were put on notice at the Center for Disease Control and

Prevention's (CDC's) Simpsonwood meeting in 2000, that the mercury in

the preservative Thimerosal was causing speech delays and learning

disabilities, they obfuscated and hid that information. They never

made good on their 1999 pledge to have Thimerosal eliminated from

vaccines and almost a decade later joined in the protest against a

fictitious TV show (Eli Stone) because it was critical of mercury

being in vaccines.

Out of about 120 million doses of the worthless [1] flu vaccine

shipped for the 2007-08 flu season, no more than about 15 million

doses, including the less than 4 million livevirus doses, were

noThimerosal doses. That means that about 87% contained some level of

Thimerosal and at least 42% contained the maximum level (0.01%) of

Thimerosal.

If a pregnant woman got a flu shot in 2001 and her child

followed the flu shot recommendations, the baby/fetus would have

received six flu shots with the full amount of Thimerosal by the year

2005.

Today, in some states, the flu vaccine given to those under 3

year of age are supposed to contain no more than a trace level of

Thimerosal, but with no government agency testing vaccines for

mercury, the only ones who know whether a preservativefree vaccine

(flu or otherwise) actually is mercury free are the manufacturers

themselves.

Vaccines with " trace " amounts of Thimerosal are supposed to

contain less than 1 microgram of mercury (Hg) per 0.5 ml dose (1

microgram [ìg] of Hg per 0.5 mL is the same as 2 ìg of Hg per mL

which is the same as 2000 liter; micrograms per liter is parts per

billion [ppb][2])

0.5 parts per billion (ppb) mercury = Kills human neuroblastoma

cells (Parran et al., Toxicol Sci 2005; 86: 132140).

2 ppb mercury = U.S. EPA limit for drinking water

(www.epa.gov/safewater/contaminants/

index.html#mcls).

20 ppb mercury = Neurite membrane structure destroyed (Leong et

al., Neuroreport 2001; 12: 73337).

200 ppb mercury = level in liquid the EPA classifies as

hazardous waste

(www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/mercury/ regs.htm#hazwaste)

25,000 ppb mercury = Concentration of mercury in multidose,

Hepatitis B vaccine vials, administered at birth from 19912001 in the

U.S.

50,000 ppb mercury = Concentration of mercury in multidose DTP

and Haemophilus B vaccine vials, administered 8 times in the 1990's

to children at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 18 months of age and

currently " preservative " level mercury in multidose flu,

meningococcal and tetanus (7 and older) vaccines.

For years the Infectious Disease division at the CDC (and

others) has said the reason for the dramatic increase in autism is

due to " better diagnosing " and " greater awareness. " They have

encouraged those like the AAP to manufacture uncertainty by

publishing articles that were less than truthful. The AAP shamefully

played along, perhaps encouraged by the largesse of vaccine

manufacturers who significantly contribute to the AAP's yearly

budget. To publish studies that showed the removal of a known

neurotoxin (mercury) from vaccine caused the incidence of autism to

increase was shameful pseudoscience.

There is another budget to consider for eighty percent of

autistic Americans under the age of 18, and we will soon begin to see

a dramatic impact on Social Security in coming years as these

children become dependent adults. There are no studies that have

found the previously undiagnosed or misdiagnosed autistic individuals

among older Americans. They simply aren't there. So what is coming

will significantly impact on society.

As there are no genetic epidemics, which leaves an epidemic

linked to some sort of exposure. Now, the increase of autism has been

linked to the increase in mercury exposure through fish and

industrial sources, amalgam and additionally, through increased

parenteral exposure to Thimerosal no controlled, randomized study

regarding the safety of amalgam or Thimerosal exists.

A recently released Scientific Consensus Statement on

Environmental Agents Associated with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (by

the Collaborative on Health and the Environment's Learning and

Developmental Disabilities Initiative) concludes that environmental

contaminants are an important cause of learning and developmental

disabilities.

Delayed detoxification of mercury severely impairs methylation

reactions (required for the correct expression of DNA, RNA, and

neurotransmitters), which further adversely affects growth factor

derived development of the brain and attention abilities.

Phospholipid methylation, which is crucial for attention, is impaired

in autistic and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders.

In a first analysis of the VSD datasets, Verstraeten et al. had

described a 7.6 to 11.4 fold increase of autism risk in children at

one month, with the highest mercury exposure levels compared to

children with no exposure. In four subsequent separate generations of

the analysis, which involve the exclusion of children with no

Thimerosal exposure and less than two polio vaccines, the statistical

significance disappeared. This is what was published by the AAP even

though they knew the truth. How did they know the truth?

Again, they were presented at the Simpsonwood meeting in June

2000, a meeting that was illegal to hold. No Federal agency is

allowed to call a meeting together with representatives of private

industry (all the vaccine manufacturers were represented at this

meeting) without opening the meeting to the public.

Thimerosal was tested only once, by Eli Lilly on 22 adult

patients suffering from meningitis. There was no chance for follow up

to observe longterm effects, as all of the patients in this " study "

died. Even if followup had been possible, damage to the developing

brains of very young children would have remained an unknown. Eli

Lilly said it was safe and the medical community accepted it. After

the creation of the FDA, its use was simply continued. The federal

government has never tested the type of mercury in vaccines for

toxicity. This is an unconscionable oversight failure at best, at

worse it is an example that we have left consensus reality to be

created by the liars, thieves, cheats, killers, and the junk

scientists they employ.

How it came to pass the AAP joined these rogues and became an

active participant in this skullduggery is beyond reason even beyond

greed. They have remained silent as mercuryladen vaccine continues to

be exported and used in all third world and second world countries.

We are living in a time where an incredible overplay and lies,

selfaggrandizing behavior and nonscience are the norm. We have

tolerated the junk science that has covered up the true cause of this

epidemic at a considerable cost to science, the public, and our very

way of life in this country. Is it a stretch to realize that by

putting our collective heads in the sand about the autism epidemic we

have made it possible for the destruction of our very civilization?

Not something easy to contemplate? Then ask why haven't

pediatricians come forward to demand the end of the use of Thimerosal

once and for all, and to advocate for the treatment of these children

before it is too late? Why are they not at the front of the line

protesting the amounts of mercury allowed to come out of coalfired

power plants? Why aren't they leading the charge to stop the use of

mercury amalgam dental fillings that are placed in the mouths of

young children and pregnant women?

The very Federal agencies that should have been sounding the

alarm bell about environmental pollution creating future generations

of mentally disabled citizens did less than remain silent because

they have become arms of the very corporations that profit from

selling and distributing poisons. Just look who sits on the FDA's

Scientific Advisory Boards the conflicts of interest are so glaring

as to suggest that the FDA has become a trade arm of Big Pharma.

Nevertheless, the hand writing is on the wall as the US

government has quietly conceded a vaccineautism case in the Court of

Federal Claims [3]. Pediatricians will no longer be able to hide

behind the skirts of " Standard of Care " if they are giving autistic

children heavymetal laden vaccines, or children with mitochondrial

dysfunction vaccine, or when it is established most " autistic "

children have mitochondrial dysfunction.

The AAP should proactively be bringing in risk management

specialists to determine how this could affect pediatricians in civil

litigation for following the CDC recommendations on vaccinations

after a diagnosis of any type of neurodevelopmental delay in a child.

Of course, this is what they are afraid of and this is what the law

of attraction will bring in upon the AAP and their minions who just

followed the recommendations and drank the KoolAid that Big Pharma

wanted them to drink.

For all the above reasons, I will no longer enable the AAP to

be party to the damage that is being done to the world's children by

sending in my dues for a third decade. It is a token protest, but it

has to begin with someone.
