U.S. Government Concedes Vaccines Cause Autism

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the federal agency that

oversees the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recently conceded the first

vaccine-autism case.

This case was filed in the no-fault National Vaccine Injury Compensation

Program as part of the Autism Omnibus proceedings in the U.S. Federal Court

of Claims.

It was one of the first three cases chosen that alleged Thimerosal in

childhood vaccines significantly contributed to a child developing autism.

Clifford Shoemaker, of Shoemaker and Associates of Vienna, Virginia, is the

attorney of record in the Hanna Poling v. Secretary of HHS (case: 02-1466V).

Experts filing on behalf of the petitioner, Hanna Poling, included pediatric

neurologist, Dr. Zimmerman of s Hopkins University, and land

geneticist and epidemiologist, Dr. Mark Geier of the Genetic Centers of

America.

This concession shows the dishonesty of the continual media spin coming from

public health officials and others who maintain there is no evidence that

Thimerosal, or any other part of any vaccine, has ever caused autism or, for

that matter, has harmed anyone in any way.

The facts are that the Vaccine Compensation Act has already compensated over

2,000 individuals who proved that they were harmed by vaccines, resulting in

settlements of nearly two billion dollars.

Additionally, hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific/medical articles from

some the world's best universities have long implicated Thimerosal in

vaccines as a causal factor in neurodevelopmental disorders including

autism.

Furthermore, in 2003, the U.S. House of Representatives' Government Reform

Committee, after a 3.5-year investigation, concluded that Thimerosal caused

the autism epidemic and that the FDA and health authorities were guilty of

" institutional malfeasance " in covering it up.

Evidence supporting the connection between mercury and autism include:

1. Published studies from the US and France showing that urinary porphyrins,

a biomarker for body-burden of mercury, are elevated in patients diagnosed

with autistic disorders (http://www.mercury-freedrugs.org).

2. A published study by researchers at Harvard University that found twice

as much mercury and oxidative stress in the brains of those with an autism

diagnosis as found in the brains of those who were normal.

3. A study from the US showing a significant relationship between increasing

blood mercury levels and an increased risk of a diagnosis of an autistic

disorder.

4. Numerous papers by independent researchers showing a link between

increasing mercury exposure from childhood vaccines and the risk of a child

developing an autistic disorder.

5. Several papers showing that adding low levels of Thimerosal to certain

blood, brain, eye, immune, liver and/or muscle cells poisons their cellular

mitochondrial pathways and can induce cell death.

Today, despite being banned in Europe and restricted in 7 U.S. states,

Thimerosal-containing flu vaccines are still recommended for routine

administration to pregnant women and infants, with little or no warning of

the presence of this known poison in these and other vaccines.

Vaccines have and will continue to save many lives. However, an immediate

ban and recall of vaccines and other drugs containing mercury compounds used

in their production must be instituted immediately to stop the epidemic of

developmental disorders, including autism, caused by the unsound use of

mercury in medicine.

CNN's point of view seems a bit less convincing sadly.
