Decade-old health conspiracy uncovered: The truth behind the autism/child vaccine link

Dear Reader, I have discussed autism many times in this space. It's a subject I'm passionate about, and I treat many children with this increasingly common, and extraordinarily debilitating, illness. I have known for decades about the conspiracy committed by the vaccine makers, big pharma, and the government. And now, the deception is coming to light, thanks to a CDC whistleblower named William W. Thompson, Ph.D. Dr. Thompson is an epidemiologist at the CDC's National Center of Birth Defects and Development Disabilities. And he was one of the researchers behind the infamous 2004 study that concluded there were "no significant associations" between the age at which the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is administered and the incidence of "developmental regression" such as autism. The medical establishment has arrogantly stood by this bogus study for a decade. But now, Dr. Thompson has broken the silence. And revealed how the government deliberately concealed the link between the MMR vaccine and a dramatically increased risk of autism, particularly in African-American boys. More on this bombshell in just a minute. But first, let's back up a decade and take a closer look at that original study Dr. Thompson and his colleagues conducted... The study concluded there was no evidence of a statistically significant relationship between the age at which the MMR vaccine is first given and the incidence of autism. For 10 years, the Focus Autism Foundation tried to obtain the original data from that study. But it wasn't until this year, through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, that they finally gained access to the information. And, boy oh boy...the truth is quite a smack in the face. A review of the original data showed that in African-American boys who received the MMR vaccine at 24 months of age (as opposed to delaying it until 36 months when the nervous system has had a little more time to develop), the incidence of autism was 340 percent higher. Why the discrepancy? Well, Dr. Thompson has revealed that CDC researchers only included children with a valid State of Georgia birth certificate, thereby reducing the study's sample size by 41 percent. And dramatically skewing the statistical findings. He claimed that the CDC was aware of this fudged data but covered it up because of top-down pressure to promote a pro-vaccine agenda. The CDC, which is supposed to protect the public, chose instead to protect big pharma. So, we've missed a decade of continued research. And countless children have been put in harm's way. All because of...you guessed it. Money. And this isn't the only time the CDC has put big pharma's interests ahead of public health and safety. It happened last year too, when the CDC reportedly grossly exaggerated the incidence of flu hospitalizations in order to push the flu vaccine. Earlier this year, Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) demanded that the CDC be investigated, highlighting "the incestuous relationship between the public health community and the vaccine makers and public officials." He also noted the continued manipulation of data, and the swinging-door policy between the CDC and vaccine maker Merck. All of which ensures that the autism link is never thoroughly explored. I am vindicated that my suspicions have been proven correct. But at the same time, I'm outraged at this shocking display of greed over compassion. And my heart is broken for the kids--and their parents--who fell victim to this heartless conspiracy. Hopefully, now that the truth is out, the tides will start to turn again. Back in favor of the health and well-being of the public--and, especially, of our kids.
