Autism Advocacy Organizations and Parent Groups Support Dr. Wakefield

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

Dr Wakefield has been vilified as the ONLY RESPONSIBLE for the Vaccine

Scare, and this is not true. Dr Wakefield is used as an SCAPEGOAT to

terrorize doctors and researchers

to investigate that vaccines can cause Autism. 2 Billion of dollars have

been payed to families of children affected by vaccines since the 90's when

the Vaccine Court was created, but the

technicality " Vaccines-Autism " is been fought in Court at the moment.

Dr Wakefield has been a very brave doctor, because his HYPOTHESIS (which was

only a hypothesis and he asked the medical community to look into it) in the

view of the parents that have lived it, is very valid. The small sample from

the initial research (12 children) developed terrible gastrointestinal

problems after receiving the UK MMR. My son received the US MMR and he got

terrible diarrhea few days later...and slowly slipped from us, so I know

personally this is a valid hypothesis.

Recent research validates Wakefield findings as listed below, and they point

that MANY children with Autism INDEED have gastrointestinal problems and

then later develop autistic symptoms.

Now, was the MMR the only cause? No, but it is a very important factor

because they are THREE LIVE VIRUSES that can attack the host of a

compromised immune system. Measles viruses were found in the gastro

intestinal track of these children. Now, how the brain is affected? somehow

these viruses migrated or get activated in the brain of these children. Many

researchers are talking that VIRUSES and TOXINS are able to produce CRONIC

ACTIVATION OF THE MICROGLIA, with the consequent destruction of neural cells

surrounding them. This is found in Alzheimer patients also, but the

activator is different.

My opinion is that our children as a results of receiving many vaccines

prior to the MMR (including the Hep B at their birthday) become immuno

compromised, they develop autoimmune problems.

The Thimerosal theory is very valid as well, it only requires ONE vaccine

with it to cause mitochondria damage and brain damage. The FLU shots and

other few vaccines still have Mercury on them. If people say, but the

vaccines do not contain thimerosal? Well, they are wrong.

Now what I ask parents and public is to think.

- Why the media keep bringing the same story, over and over again in big

headlines, specially before the promotion of a new vaccine, when they want

to discredit a valid research, when they want to shut down the victories in

courts.

- Why the accuser ( Deer) has spent 7 years hunting down Dr Wakefield,

he is a free lancer journalist, somehow he receives a paycheck.

- Why the OLD accussation of Dr Wakefield is doing headlines just now again?

In the UK they are facing VACCINATION DAY, where children are going to

receive 8 vaccines at once, including the MMR

- Why Deer publish in a Medical Journal? This has not precedent? By

the way, the LANCET's publishing company is owned for a big investor of

Glaxo (the UK MMR maker)

- Do you know that there are NO RESEARCH DONE comparing VACCINATED

POPULATION against the NON-VACCINATED population?

- Do you know that the CDC has stated that there is NO RESEARCH done to

study the EFFECT OF MULTIPLE VACCINES? Our children receive 8 vaccines at

once sometimes.

- Do you know the Rotavirus vaccine (diarrhea vaccine) has been inserted in

the US Vaccination Schedule by the current Head of the Vaccines Division of

Merck and Offit (the inventor) who says a child can receive 10000

vaccines at once) has earnings of 100 millions of dollars for this.

- Do you know they are 200 or more vaccines in stage of development or

waiting FDA clearance? It is a big business. Once they are in the schedule,

you CANNOT SUE THE MANUFACTURES.

Please think,

Regards,

-Daphnia Cannon

Autism Advocacy Organizations and Parent Groups Support Dr.

Wakefield

Urging Both Scientists and Journalists to Do More Thorough Research Into

Vaccines and Autism

Last week, an article in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), written by a

freelance newspaper reporter, Deer, created a media firestorm in the

United States. In his article, Deer accuses Dr. Wakefield of

deliberate fraud regarding his 1998 case series, which was published in the

British journal, The Lancet. Dr. Wakefield reported that the children in

his case series were suffering from a novel form of bowel disease and that

parents reported a temporal link between the onset of symptoms and receipt

of the MMR vaccine. Contrary to what has been reported in the media over

the years, Dr. Wakefield never stated that the MMR vaccine caused autism.

The full text of the original paper is available at

www.generationrescue.org.<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ogytlsbab & et=11042340164\

ZjpTt4n7mCT-2A6-SazVlhGenCq6dCPdS42IcYuE1lY3P2NsjA7Gg==>

These libelous accusations are based on the flimsiest possible construct.

Deer claims fraud on the basis of differences between the case histories in

the Lancet study and the children's private medical records which Deer

obtained under questionable circumstances. Since the team at the Royal Free

Hospital never had access to the children's private medical records, it was

impossible for them to know what was in them and, therefore, impossible for

them to fraudulently report something different. It is standard practice in

medicine for a specialist seeing a new patient to take a new history. Of the

parents involved in the original study, none have made any complaint, at any

time, against Dr. Wakefield. In the case of the only parent we can confirm

Deer actually spoke to, Deer used false pretenses and the alias "

Lawrence " to obtain the interview. The parent did not turn over any medical

records to him.

The undersigned autism organizations, representing thousands of parents,

are deeply disturbed by this most recent character assassination of Dr.

Wakefield. This is an attempt to discredit a doctor who has been

extraordinarily courageous in treating and researching children suffering

with both bowel disease and autism. He has paid a high personal price for

his refusal to walk away from children who are suffering and has earned the

utmost respect from the families of these children. We believe this is an

industry-driven attempt to shift public attention away from legitimate

concerns about vaccine reactions and the development of autism. Science,

even controversial findings, should not be distorted by fear or greed.

The truth in this story is that Dr. Wakefield's findings of bowel disease in

association with autism have been replicated (see references) and his work

along with that of other doctors has advanced the treatment of these

children to the point that the journal, Pediatrics, has published a paper on

the treatment for gastrointestinal symptoms in children with autism. The

issue of whether MMR is causal for this subgroup of autistic children

remains an open question. The epidemiological studies that claim to prove

there is no link between the MMR and autism have not had the statistical

power to rule out a link for a subset of susceptible children. Much study

remains to be done. Attempts to " shoot the messenger " will only result in

further erosion of public trust.

Parents of children with autism encourage the media to dig deeper and

provide comprehensive investigations and balanced reporting. For more

information or to schedule an interview please contact Estepp

Repeated for Clarity if not a greater understanding, of more. (S*)

Daphnia and All,

We could start a medium that encompasses more if not all that is so right/just

and meaningful and call it Outcast/Outcaste? -- given that folks here may not be

so focused on as much? .. . Would I be correct in assuming as much? I'm thinking

I typify (more, if not longer than most?) the sort of thinking if not

representation we are looking for and need, with respect to as much, if not all

there more meaningfully is to The truth of Understanding?

I'm already a world of my own, somewhat (with that?) of a sovereign

Individual/being, and feel that is where we need to start to be making things so

just and Constitutional, that that wouldn't eventually include one and All so

meaningful, (and Just) and the society we need if not are looking for in that

respect

Glavic

Corollary to as much: We don't need to work with (be like) our abuser/s, (so

much, as in treating and prosecuting them?) which isn't in reference to us here

so much, no. Take that seriously, or don't, of the real/more Intelligent

choice/s are y/ours, Thereof, I Feel as understand.. . That'd be the way of

Reason folks, (of our Feeling/s, of Understanding, of such facts and all that is

so primary) where you might not have seen It put that way before? from your

world perspective? .. . (as shallow as that might be

I consider myself *any* man's/person's equal. I figure you should, too, where

you're up to as much.. .

Let's Go For It
