Give us answers on vaccines

*

*

CDC Director since 2002, Dr. Gerberding refuses to publicly admit that

vaccines are directly linked to the epidemic of autism that has worsened

dramatically under her direction. Eerily, Forbes magazine placed her in the

" top 12 most powerful women " in 2005.

That organized medicine and the public health community is presenting a

unified front to deny the cause-and-effect relationship between epidemic

autism and vaccines is not surprising. After all, these people would have to

admit they were responsible for delivering the epidemic. They would also

have to admit that the cocktails of dangerous chemicals and foreign proteins

they have been administering with unquestioning religious fervor is not the

Holy Water they believed it be; they would have to admit it was poison.

The problem these zealots are facing is that epidemic autism is worsening

and the only argument they have in defense of themselves is that we are

giving birth to defective children.

How much longer will that defense hold up? It would appear that it's already

falling apart. The vaccine controversy is coming to a head. After the

defective children argument proves itself to be false, what then?

By refusing to address what really happened to Hannah Poling [*see page 1*]—by

commanding parents to settle down and adhere to the nation's rigid

immunization regime—officials will only drive people away from vaccines in

anxiety-ridden droves.

But what if we could test children for underlying conditions that might

increase their risk of vaccine injury and autism? And what if we allowed

those at risk to slightly delay and spread out their shots?

It's a difficult, but not impossible, proposition. And I believe doing so

would reduce the rate of autism, seizure disorders and even asthma in some

children. And we would boost vaccination rates by restoring faith in the

nation's teetering immunization program.

Why do I say this? New documents have surfaced in the Poling case that shine

more light on how Hannah's vaccine injury led to autism.

A government document filed in the case last November conceded that Hannah's

vaccines had aggravated an underlying disorder of the mitochondria.

Mitochondria are the tiny powerhouses within each cell that convert food and

oxygen into energy. Government officials acknowledged that Hannah's disorder

led to a condition known as low cellular energy metabolism, which was

aggravated by vaccines and ultimately led to an autism diagnosis.

It was a tantalizing admission but did little to explain just how the

vaccines had aggravated the disorder or caused autism.

But on Feb. 21, the U.S. government made a second, unpublicized concession

in the case. In addition to triggering autism, officials now admitted,

Hannah's vaccines had also led to her " seizure disorder, " or epilepsy.

And there was more. The November document claimed that Hannah had a

mitochondrial " disorder. " But by February, this was modulated to a mere

mitochondrial " dysfunction. "

That's because Hannah's underlying condition was asymptomatic and most

likely environmentally acquired. It was not some rare, grave, inherited

disease that would have progressed to autism anyway, as many officials

contend.

The November report said Hannah's vaccine reaction had " manifested " as

early-onset brain disease, with " features of autism spectrum disorder. "

But the February report is more blunt. It says that Hannah's vaccines

" caused " her " autistic " brain disease.

But the real bombshell was this: Hannah's autism was caused by

vaccine-induced fever and overstimulation of her immune system, according to

court documents. Her low cellular energy and reduced metabolic reserves, due

to mitochondrial dysfunction, were overstressed by the contents of nine

vaccines (including mercury) at once.

The Cleveland Clinic defines low cellular energy metabolism disorder this

way: " The process of converting food and oxygen (fuel) into energy requires

hundreds of chemical reactions, and each chemical reaction must run almost

perfectly in order to have a continuous supply of energy. When one or more

components of these chemical reactions does not run perfectly, there is an

energy crisis, and the cells cannot function normally. As a result, the

incompletely burned food might accumulate as poison inside the body. "

The cause of Hannah's mitochondrial dysfunction is up for debate, though

ample evidence exists to implicate heavy metals in air, water, food and

vaccines as possible suspects. But the government has acknowledged that low

cellular energy can increase the risk of immune system overdrive, and

regression into autism.

Now, one would think that investigating—and preventing—such vaccine-induced

overstimulation in susceptible children would be a top priority of health

officials. But it is not.

Dr. Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention, has vowed to " adamantly " enforce the one-size-fits-all vaccine

schedule, no matter what happened to Hannah and other kids like her.

Frantic parents, desperate for answers, were admonished by Gerberding to

" set aside this very isolated, unusual situation " in so-called Vaccine

Court, even though " the court apparently made the decision that it is fair

to say that vaccinations may have been one of the precipitators. "

Gerberding was either grossly misinformed, or lying.

To begin with, this " decision " was not made by the court at all, but by

medical personnel working for the Secretary of Health and Human Services,

Gerberding's boss.

More important, the Poling case is neither isolated nor unusual. At least 12

other autism-related claims have been paid out in Vaccine Court to date, and

perhaps hundreds more cases like Hannah's are pending.

Most striking is how typical Hannah's cellular dysfunction may be among

children with autism. While extremely rare in the general population, at two

per 10,000 people, it seems unusually common in autism—with estimates up to

2,000 per 10,000.

Many opinion leaders are calling on the government to release all relevant

documents leading to the Poling concessions. The family has waived all

claims to privacy, and the public has a right to know.

For now, all we have is the CDC website, which says that " simultaneous

vaccination with multiple vaccines has no adverse effect on the normal

childhood immune system. "

But did Hannah have a " normal " immune system? Are other kids out there also

metabolically primed for overstimulation from too many shots at once? Should

their vaccines be spread out?

Instead of answers, we get adamant silence. This is not a matter of national

security. It's a national emergency. Millions of parents are anxiously

waiting for their government to tell them what the hell is going on.
