OT X post -- Autism Up even after vaccine additive cut

[Guest guest]

Hi.

Sorry for the OT X post, but my blood is boiling as I read my paper with

breakfast -- " Study refutes a link between thimerosal exposure, disorder

risk. " It was an AP article which ran nationally. Did you see it?

I was wondering if someone who is a good writer and has the facts at his/her

fingertips and the time to write could pen a Letter to the Editor refuting

this article, then post it so we could all send it to our papers. Does DAN!

have something that I could send in to my paper?

Thanks.

Although this study by California's vaccine establishment clearly sustains

the fact that California is in the midst of a growing autism epidemic and

that California's system of reporting professionally diagnosed cases of full

syndrome autism is the gold standard in the country, the conclusions in the

study are flawed and premature, and does nothing to exonerate vaccines,

particularly mercury containing vaccines, as a cause of California's autism

epidemic.

Although the mercury burden in vaccines has been reduced over the years, we

know that even very small amounts of mercury can cause serious, life altering

neurological damage. California's ban on mercury containing vaccines for

pregnant women and children under three did not take effect until December

2006.

Today, those children born after the ban took effect are between 4 months

old and one year of age. California's developmental services reporting system

DOES NOT include children under the age of three years old.

It will not be clear what impact California's law banning mercury in

vaccines has had on the rate of new cases of autism until at least 2009-2010

and

later. Historically, the majority of children with autism enter California's

developmental services system between the ages of 3+ and 9 years old.

If by 2009-2010 there has not been ANY change in the rate of increase of new

cases of autism entering California's developmental services system, then we

can scratch mercury in vaccines off our list of agents contained in vaccines

as a cause, and; then begin concentrating on the numerous other poisons and

toxic agents in vaccines such as aluminum, formaldehyde, MSG, live viruses,

etc., and most importantly, the interaction of these and other toxic agents

contained in the 34 doses of vaccines children receive from birth to two years

old today.
