Rebuttal to Anne Dachel’s 11 May 2012

Article,

“MMR Vaccinations Giving Baby Monkeys

Autism”

 

On Friday, 11 May

2012, I attempted to post comments

to your posting at:

http://annedachel.com/2012/05/11/mmr-vaccinations-giving-baby-monkeys-autism/?utm_source=feedburner & utm_medium=email & utm_campaign=Feed%3A+annedachel-com+%28AnneDachel.com%29,

which compelled me

to split my comments into

four (4) parts – all

of which were left awaiting

your moderation when

I exited the commenting

application.

 

Since, as of 20:00 (8:00 PM) EDT on

15 May 2012,

my comments did not

appear, I am publishing this

open letter

(attached for those who receive attachments

and in text form for those who do not get attachments)

to the worldwide Autism Community with the hope

of restoring some

sense of perspective and clarity to

another “anything

but mercury (Thimerosal)”

article that

misguidedly attempts to portray the

MMR vaccine as “the

cause of autism” when, in

fact, it was, and still is, a minor

causal factor by

itself.

 

The following

narrative sets forth the apparent

realities concerning

the incidence of “autism”

 and the apparent relative

contributions of:

“Thimerosal-preserved

vaccines” (organic mercury)

and the “MMR

vaccines” to the CDC’s recent

guesstimated

incidence of “autism” in 8-year-old

children born in

late 1999 through 2000 in the USA.

 

With respect to your

statement,

“I

can’t imagine how this research can be out there,

yet

so ignored”,

your distortion of

the facts and your failure to

put them into proper

context here does more to

undermine the

findings than to properly report

them.

 

In proper

perspective, the assertion, “diagnoses

of

autism

two years of an MMR vaccination increased to a high

of

27.3 cases per 100,000 children compared with 1.45 cases

per

100,000 in non-vaccinated children”, implies:

1.     

One (1) autism case in every 3,663

children

vaccinated

with the MMR vaccine (a rate

that

is roughly one-third of the latest (2011)

reported

Danish autism rate of “1 in 1272”

for

Danish children, born between 1994 and

2004)

and

2.     

One (1) autism case in about every

69,000

children

in those “non-vaccinated

children” (a rate

more

than 6 times lower than the historical

values

for “autism” in the 1970s of about 1

in

10,000).

 

Moreover,

 The IMFAR article from the vaccination

of

Macaque

monkeys implicates the early

childhood

vaccines and, coupled with a

previous

article on the Thimerosal-preserved

birth

dose of hepatitis B vaccine, especially

implicates

the Thimerosal-preserved ones

as the

principal actors and not the MMR

vaccine

per se.

 The study in Denmark that you cite was

in

humans

– not monkeys – and was conducted

after

the Thimerosal-preserved vaccines

were

removed from the Danish

vaccination

schedule,

during a period when

MMR

vaccination uptake slowly increased.

 To put things in perspective, today's

"autism"

rate in

Denmark (where the MMR vaccine

continues

to be given but Thimerosal-preserved

vaccines

are not) is NOT an estimate but a real

1-child-in-1272

value

– a value that is about

15

times LOWER than the most recent US

guesstimated

"autism

spectrum disorder" value

of "1

in 88" with a probable real value of

 about "1 in 25" if the survey

values were

corrected

for underascertainment (under

reporting).

  Because of the observed "sex ratio"

fact (of

4 to 5

to 1 for males to females), ONLY

Thimerosal

(mercury) poisoning can be the

major

causal factor and not the MMR vaccine

per se,

which, by itself, is

probably a less

than 5%

factor in the USA.  [Note: This is the

case because

only mercury shows the sex-linked

differential

toxicity effect between developing

males and

developing females in the absence

of any

recognized MAJOR sex-linked genetic

problem

(e.g., Fragile X).]

  Based on a 1-in-1272 rate with the

MMR

vaccine, in the absence of the

MMR

vaccination program and with

NO

Thimerosal-preserved vaccines, the

"no

vaccine" background rate for "autism"

in

Denmark would be about 1 in 10,000 –

the

historical estimated level from the

1970s.

  The US children who were born in late

1999 to

2000 and 8 years of age when

the

last CDC survey studies were

conducted

all received Thimerosal-preserved

early

childhood vaccines and, beginning

in

2002, may have received Thimerosal-

preserved

flu shots if they were under 23

months

of age during the flu season.

 

Based on all of the

preceding realities, the MMR

vaccine is a not

more than "5%" factor by itself

and Thimerosal,

which has STILL NOT been

removed from all

vaccines given to pregnant

women and children,

remains the probable

"90-plus %" casual

factor. 

 

Moreover, there is

no evidence that, absent

the

Thimerosal-preserved

vaccines they received,

the vaccinated

Macaque monkeys would have

had autism-like

symptoms.

 

Obviously, your post

is another attempt to ignore

the proverbial

Thimerosal (mercury) elephant —

another "anything

but mercury" posting — that

distorts the facts

and ignores the mercury

poisoning reality

that is clearly established by

the observed male

sex-ratio excess of 4 – 5 to 1. 

[Note: In New

Jersey, the ratio of males to females

was 5.9 to 1

and 80% of the reported cases had a

autistic

disorder diagnosis in the 1 in 49 children found

to have an

autistic disorder.  Moreover,

even though

New Jersey

had two robust independent sources of data

(schools and

the medical systems) that overlapped,

which would

have allowed the valid use of capture-

recapture

statistical analysis to “determine” the missed

cases and

correct for the under-reporting so that a

valid

estimate of all cases could have been made,

the NJ

project team did NOT report the ascertainment-

corrected

incidence for those 8-year-old children

diagnosed

with an autism spectrum disorder in

New Jersey.]

 

At best, by itself,

"MMR only" at an incidence

of no more than one

(1) autism case in every

1272 children in

Denmark “today” (a 2011

value for children

born between 1994 and 2004 in

Denmark in a paper

on the investigation of a link

between jaundice and

autism) is probably a less

than "5%"

contributor to the "autism" epidemic in

the USA (a > “1

in 88” phenomenon that may be

as high as about “1

in 25” for autism spectrum

disorder cases and

“about 1 in 50” for autistic

disorder cases) in

the USA “today” (a 2008

estimate published

in 2012 for children 8 years

of age born in 1999

– 2000. 

 

Hopefully, your

future postings in this regard

will be more

factually accurate and, at a

minimum, place the

apparent “MMR-only effect”

in its proper “<1

autism case per 1,000 children”

perspective

established by the Danish report for

Denmark in 2011.

Finally, should

anyone find any significant

that he can improve

his understanding of

factual reality and,

where appropriate,

revise his views and

this review.

be published by

researchers

who have no conflicts of interest
