McCarthy: Gerberding Must Go (From Age of Autism)

March 9, 2008

JENNY McCARTHY: JULIE GERBERDING MUST GO! By McCarthy

I’m asking all parents and autism groups to join me in demanding

Gerberding’s immediate resignation as Director of the CDC.

On Monday, March 10th, beginning at 9:00am Eastern Daylight Time, let’s all

start calling the White House and ask President Bush & Bush to demand

Gerberding’s resignation for incompetence during the autism epidemic. The

White House switchboard can be reached at:

202-456-1414

Also, on the same day, please call your local Congressperson and Senators from

your state and ask them to call for her resignation, too.

Gerberding has led the CDC for 6 years during a time when the autism

epidemic has only gotten worse. Despite tens of thousands of children who

declined just like Hannah Poling, Ms. Gerberding stood before cameras yesterday

defiant, cold, and defensive. Where is her humanity in the face of such tragedy?

Why couldn’t she have said, “We at CDC want to make sure what happened to Hannah

doesn’t happen to any other children, we want to make vaccines safe”?

Rather than listen to the heartbreaking stories of so many parents, you can be

sure that Ms. Gerberding is spending her time right now trying to get the Spin

Machine up and running to minimize, confuse, and deceive the American public.

The autism epidemic won’t end until we fix the vaccine schedule by reducing

total vaccines, separating shots, waiting until our kids are older to begin

shots, greening our vaccines, and screening for at-risk kids. Ms Gerberding has

stood by and watched self-interested parties more than triple our vaccine

schedule and I’m certain her inactivity to help our kids will continue.

The chances of Ms. Gerberding taking the radical steps to reform the CDC and

reform our vaccine schedule to make it kid-safe are zero! We need a new CDC

Director who is an open-minded reformer and who recognizes that we are

experiencing an epidemic of autism, which Ms. Gerberding has never publicly

admitted.

Please, parents and national autism organizations, let’s all help make our

voices heard on Monday.

Thank you,

McCarthy
