F. Kennedy Jr. Re-Opens The Vaccine-Autism Controversy

F. Kennedy Jr. still questions the

role mercury- containing thimerosal, found in some vaccines administered to

kids under two, may play in the formation of childhood autism.

By Ken Wightman. is.gd/b154I

London, Canada - You may have thought the link

between vaccines and autism had been broken with the recent news that Dr.

Wakefield had been branded “dishonestâ€, “unethical†and “callous†by

the UK General Medical Council in Great Britain. Wakefield is the doctor

credited by many for triggering the worldwide questioning of the safety of

childhood vaccinations.

His research, published in The Lancet in 1998,

was found to be fraudulent and The Lancet has now fully retracted the

Wakefield paper. The New York Times editorialized, “We hope that The Lancet’s

belated retraction will finally lay this damaging myth about autism and

vaccines to rest. "

The NYT can stop hoping as the belief is alive

and well and made an appearance Wednesday night in London, Ontario, when

F. Kennedy Jr. was asked a question concerning his position on the

vaccine-autism link. Kennedy made it clear that the debate continues.

Kennedy said there is “a strong enough

connection that the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the

United States) should be looking into it.†It being the link between

vaccines, and the thimerosal additive that many contain, and the apparent

great increase in autism cases.

Thimerosal contains a form of mercury and is

used as a preservative in certain vaccines. According to Kennedy “the flu

vaccine is loaded.â€
