Idiot Bush and his " appointed " buddies at Eli Lilly!!!

I wonder how they'd react if one of their kids were

affected by thimerosol........

SIGH..........

" CDC Knew of Potential Link Between Vaccines and Autism "

In the 1990s, despite credible research and opposition by qualified

physicians, the massive push began to vaccinate infants and toddlers with

multiple doses for many diseases and vaccines that had questionable

science backing up the licensing.

One of the biggest concerns was the MMr and MMr II vaccine. According to

Vaccine Liberation:

Numerous medical reports published in prestigious medical journals have

cited major complications resulting from the MMR vaccine, including

retardation, chronic seizures, inflammatory bowel disease, hearing loss,

chronic arthritis, encephalitis and aseptic meningitis.

MMR is closely linked to America's raging epidemic of autism spectrum

disorders. One in every 300-500 U.S. children now develops autism. In

1978, only one child in 10,000 developed autism. Late onset autism

causes previously normal babies to develop severe abdominal cramping,

hyperactivity, learning and social disabilities, along with abnormally

aggressive behavior.

Studies conducted by British scientist Dr. Wakefield show a

significant correlation between autism and the MMR vaccine. Wakefield

found that the MMR vaccine increases the permeability of the bowel,

causing " leaky gut syndrome. " Toxin-laden fecal matter is then allowed

to escape the digestive tract and enter the bloodstream. Once in the

blood, the toxins travel to the brain where they damage sensitive brain

tissues leading to the development of autism. Dr. Wakefield also found

that autistic children develop inflamed bowel nodules causing indigestion

and liver damage from toxic overload. His findings have been

corroborated by Irish molecular biologist O'Leary, who found measles

virus in the gut of 96% of vaccinated autistic children and in 75% of

children with Crohn's Disease.

According to Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN), Chairman of the Government

Reform Committee, physicians and a growing number of parents believe that

autism affecting their children is related to a mercury preservative used

in numerous vaccines. This preservative is called thimerosal, and it

contains mercury, a known neuro-toxin. Thimerosal is still present in

some vaccinations and surprisingly - virtually all flu shots.

Writing in the Spring 2001 American Association of Physicians and

Surgeons journal, Medical Sentinel, ph Mercola, M.D. stated:

" Immunizations contribute to the enormous and tragic increase in autism

in this country, and it is time physicians take a stand on this issue and

defend the patient's right to choose. It seems imperative, " states

Mercola, " that the first step for physicians who have not carefully

studied this issue is to become informed. "

First Coast News had a shocking release earlier this week on the issue of

thimerosal and autism:

" The Centers for Disease Control published a study last fall repudiating

any possible link between thimerosal and developmental problems like

autism in children. However, First Coast News has obtained non-published

documents that show the CDC DID have data supporting such a link-- but

kept it from the public. " Documents released through the Freedom of

Information Act, detail the transcript of a meeting held in June of 2000

between members of the CDC, the FDA, and representatives from the vaccine

industry. "

The reported number of autism cases is being described as epidemic and

growing. As parents struggle to provide treatment for their autistic

children, the Bush Administration has taken steps to keep these parents

in the dark by petitioning a federal court to keep all documents from the

American people on hundreds of cases of autism believed caused by

childhood vaccines. On November 25, 2003, Department of Justice lawyers

asked a U.S. Court of Federal Claims to " to seal the documents, arguing

that allowing their automatic disclosure would take away the right of

federal agencies to decide when and how the material should be released. "

How does Homeland Security play into this unfolding tragedy for untold

numbers of children and their parents?

The Homeland Security Bill contained two paragraphs in the 475-page

document that immunizes vaccine manufacturers against the threat of

lawsuits. Specifically, pharmaceutical maker Eli Lilly & Company

benefits from such immunity because prior to President Bush signing the

bill into law, they were the target of a massive class action lawsuit on

behalf of autistic children. The parents of these children believe that

the mercury (thimerosol) added to vaccines as a preservative caused their

child's brain damage.

President Bush signed the Homeland Security Bill into law, effectively

snuffing out parents ability to sue the pharmaceutical companies

individually and leaving them with brain damaged children and financial

hardship. Supporters of this new law maintain that it was necessary

because all these lawsuits could have driven vaccine makers out of

business. Opponents point out that by shifting the lawsuits from state

courts to the Federal Court of Claims, it represents a financial boon for

pharmaceutical companies because dollar awards will come from the

government and widespread industry fees than than from individual

companies.

It is unclear how this lawsuit immunity bonanza for the pharmaceutical

industry has anything to do with homeland security, bio-terror attacks or

keeping America safe from terrorists. Last summer, President Bush

appointed Sidney Taurel, Chairman and CEO of Eli Lilly to the Homeland

Security Advisory Council. Since 1989, Eli Lilly alone has given a

whopping $5.9 million to congressional campaigns with 3/4ths of the money

going to GOP candidates. In the last election election cycle, eighty

percent of Republican candidates got the lion's share of the $1.6 million

contributed by Eli Lilly who developed thimerosal and has profited

handsomely from sales over the past 40 years.

Thimerosal isn't the only drug linked to other adverse effects on

children. Back in February 2001, News 8 Investigates (Dallas-Ft. Worth

area) covered questionable science at the root of getting vaccines

approved in this country. One of the newer vaccines scrutinized was

RotaShield which was given to the newborn son of Melynda Shay. This

particular vaccine promised in its advertisements that RotoShield would

help prevent childhood diarrhea. Within days after inoculation, Ms.

Shay's newborn's bowels were dangerously obstructed to the point of

possibly rupturing.

Federal regulators from the CDC finally discovered more than 100 other

infants like Ms. Shay's son had all suffered the same problem and

RotoShield was pulled off the market. On the very same day RotoShield

was pulled, the CDCs Vaccine Advisory Committee drafted a recommendation

for another new vaccine called Prevnar.

Clinical trials of Prevnar tested in 38,000 California children produced

the following results according to the drug company's own documentation:

children receiving Prevnar with other vaccines had more seizures, more

rashes, higher fevers and other side effects than children who received

the control vaccine.

Some wonder how these vaccines ever get approval and into the

marketplace?

Congressman Dan Burton's congressional hearings last summer provided some

disturbing information that could provide at least some insight on the

matter: at least half the members of vaccine committees at both the FDA

(Food and Drug Administration) and the CDC had financial ties to drug

companies that are developing different versions of the Rotavirus

vaccine. More hearings are scheduled for this spring.
