They are afraid they are going to be out of a job soon.

The Obama administration is looming.

BREAKING NEWS: Autism May Be Caused By " Chemical

Exposures " - CDC

By DAVID KIRBY

For years now, scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and elsewhere have

said that autism is probably a purely genetic disorder, and that the dramatic

increase in numbers was due to better diagnostics, wider reporting and greater

awareness - and not because of any environmental factors.

Those days are over now.

Today, I received an email from an official in the Office of

CDC Director Dr. Gerberding (rumored to be on her way out in January),

" Office of Enterprise Communication, " replying to my questions on

what the agency is doing to look into the reportedly high number (1 in 28) of

Somali in Minneapolis.

The responses I got from the CDC (and the Minnesota Department

of Health) were thorough, thoughtful, and quite lengthy. They will be published

in their entirety shortly at www.ageofautism.com.

But one of the last questions answered by the CDC really stuck

out.

I cannot recall anything quite like it from any Federal agency

when asked a question about the possible causes of autism.

Instead of the usual, tired, " it's just better

diagnostics " mantra one routinely gets from most public health authorities

(and prominent author-pediatricians), this particular person at the CDC chose

to tell the refreshing truth - and it is something that I have been saying for

quite some time, myself.

Here is the question I posed to CDC:

If it is determined that Somali children in Minnesota do in fact have

higher rates of autism than non-Somali children in Minnesota, and that they

also have higher rates than Somali children in Somalia, will CDC officially

concur that autism, at least in these cases, must necessarily have an

environmental component?

And here is part of the reply:

While it is important to understand if autism is affecting any group of

children disproportionately, it is also important to keep in mind that there

are likely multiple causes of the autism spectrum of disorders. Most scientists

agree that today's research will show that a person's genetic profile may make

them more or less susceptible to ASDs as a result of any number of factors such

as infections, the physical environment, chemical exposures, or psychosocial components.

The idea that " chemical exposures " (vaccine induced

or otherwise) might cause autism still brings virtual apoplexia to certain

scientific circles. Let's hope they all take a deep breath and consider the

CDC's wisdom.

Thank you, Centers for Disease Control.

Thank you for your candor, your courage, and your ability to

admit that there is no such thing as a genetic epidemic.

Only the physician administrators in the CDC's Infectious Disease Division are

blinded by both arrogance and hubris. These incompetents controlled policy and

funding. They turned Departments of Health in every state in the union into

financially controlled minions who would worship CDC policy as if it were a

religion. Their idolatry of the vaccine will go down as one of the darkest pages

in medical history.

As we now know there was no safety in their medical hubris and one day the truth

of what has taken place will come to the fore.

This encouraging response from someone at the CDC reflects a breakdown, perhaps,

in the dark hearted stupidity and greed that has guided the CDC at the hands of

those most unworthy.

One brick at a time, after all it took 18 years for Gulf War vet

injuries to be acknowledged. And these were fully functioning adults,

not days old babies. Just time to speed it up... exponentially.
