I was surprised to see myself quoted (anonymously)... (Mr. Olmstead gave us a

GREAT

interview by the way. I hope to have it online in July.)

It's a very good article. Dr. Wakefield is in the UK now dealing with all this

crap. How long

before the rest of the world knows he was right? How long before he's

vindicated?

If he weren't right...where the hell did my daughter get the vaccine strain of

measles,

rubella & Herpes virus that's growing in her intestines???

They will try to crucify him... but will they also crucify those that are

replicating his work?

Dr. Wakefield always has, and always will be... a great hero of mine.

Of corse he's right. The only reason for this fatce is to shut Wakefield up. This is a closed shop. I bet you anything that this whole thing will be a sham. They've already lined their ducks up and know full well that they have their corrupt lieutenants waiting like a pack of rabid dogs to utter "Wakefield is guilty" then strike him from the register. in doing so, theyn will be able to say, look we got rid of that "hack" so we don't have to pay attention to anything he ever said because he was unscientific and no longer is regarded as a physician. i would just love to be a fly on the wall of the platton of miscreants who concocted this wicked scheme to defame a good guy who tried to do the right thing. This is very precarious. Don't think for one second that if we allow these bufoons to succeed, we'll suffer dire consequnces opening the door for ignorant cusses like frist et al to really stick

The Age of Autism: But is Wakefield right?

By Dan Olmsted

UPI Senior Editor

Jun. 13, 2006 at 11:43AM

Dr. Wakefield, the British gastroenterologist who first raised the

prospect of a link between the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autism, is

being pursued by British medical authorities.

According to the BBC: " The Independent newspaper reports that the

General Medical Council will accuse Mr. Wakefield of carrying out

'inadequately founded' research. Vaccination rates fell sharply after Dr

Wakefield questioned the safety of MMR, raising fears of a measles

epidemic. His initial Lancet paper has since been disowned by the journal. "

Let's put aside the issues surrounding the Lancet paper and concerns

about a measles epidemic and go straight to the heart of the matter: Does

the MMR cause autism? In other words, is Wakefield right?

After looking into the topic for more than a year, I'm very concerned

that he may be -- that, especially in children whose immune systems have

been rendered susceptible by any number of possible exposures, the combined

live-virus vaccine has its fingerprints all over numerous cases of

regressive autism.

Until researching the seven-part Age of Autism series in Olympia,

Wash., that concluded last month, I would not have said that. But when you

encounter case after case of perfectly normal children regressing after

live-virus vaccinations -- in this case, the MMR in close proximity to the

chickenpox shot -- you have to keep your options open.

The families in Olympia noticed a common thread: They had unusual

histories of chickenpox and other herpesviruses in their families; their

child got the chickenpox and MMR shots in close temporal proximity, often

at the same 12-month office visit when both are first recommended; and the

child subsequently was diagnosed with regressive autism.

Despite the sweeping assurances that there's no link between the MMR

and autism, no one seems to have looked at whether such a family history of

susceptibility to viruses used in vaccines might raise a risk factor. Call

me hypervigilant, but I would have expected that to be rigorously reviewed

a long time ago.

Two of the Olympia children, in fact, were in small trials at age 12

months of chickenpox and MMR vaccines. One of the vaccines, called ProQuad,

combines the MMR and chickenpox, kicking in 10 times the standard amount of

chickenpox vaccine to overcome the " immune interference " that can occur

when live viruses interact.

Such interference is at the heart of Wakefield's concern about the

combined MMR vaccine -- that the viruses suppress the immune system in such

a way that weakened-but-live measles viruses can set up house and trigger a

delayed neurological infection: autism.

And measles is not benign -- that's why there's such a push to

vaccinate against it. In a small percentage of cases, the wild, or

naturally occurring, infection can lead to delayed brain damage and death.

It's a neurotoxic virus, in short. Wakefield's question and concern

is whether in some cases the live-virus vaccine is neurotoxic, too.

Not such a wild idea, really, and listening to him talk makes you

hope to God the vaccine manufacturers and regulators are a lot smarter than

he makes them sound:

" What alarms me about the cavalier approach of the industry and

everybody else, the regulators, to these viruses is they presume the wild

infection to be nasty and the vaccines to be innocuous -- that they can

manipulate something that is biologically highly intelligent and exploit it

to their advantage.

" And they can't. The viruses don't behave like that and they never

will. They merely come back to haunt you as something different. "

Multiple epidemiological studies have allegedly ruled out this

chilling scenario as a factor in autism -- the Institute of Medicine calls

it " theoretical only. " But epidemiology is only as good as its data and its

practitioners, and well-known for its potential pitfalls and flaws. What

concerns me is, if the epidemiology is wrong, preventable cases of autism

are going to keep happening till the cows come home.

Recall, also, that Wakefield never suggested banning the measles,

mumps or rubella immunizations. He suggested separating them and giving

them a year apart.

Especially concerning are the stories that parent after parent tells

about physical illness after the shots, followed by autistic regression.

It's kind of freaky, really, the way they keep popping up.

After finishing the Pox series, I attended the Autism One convention

in Chicago and happened to be interviewed by a Web-based documentary

filmmaker. During a break, I asked how he got involved. He told me his

daughter got the MMR, came down immediately with a 103-degree fever and

regressed forthwith into autism.

" It's like someone took out her good brain and replaced it with a bad

brain, " he said. It was that immediate.

I had another conversation with the mother of fraternal twins who

told me this story: Both sons were scheduled to get two shots -- the MMR

and another vaccination -- on the same day at the same office visit.

But -- oops -- the healthcare worker gave the first child two MMR

shots, not the MMR and the second vaccine. That child soon developed

autism; the second one didn't.

And I spoke recently with a Texas man whose son got the MMR in 1993;

the injection site swelled up to the size of his father's fist; he had

seizures at the dinner table that night, and within days was spinning,

flapping, chewing wood and not talking ever again.

You get the picture. " Anecdotal evidence. " But you have to wonder how

many of these stories -- one is tempted to say, bodies -- must pile up

before the medical authorities go back and take a fresh look at the issue.

This blithe disregard for case histories -- for what parents, the

supposed bedrock of our " family-friendly " society, say -- is one of the

most appalling features of the current climate surrounding autism research.

In fact, Sen. ph Lieberman, D-Conn., has talked publicly of forcing the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which sets the childhood

immunization schedule and stoutly rejects a link with autism, to actually

go out and interview some of these parents.

One person who is making things awkward for the authorities is Dr.

Fletcher, another British ne'er-do-well -- or, to use his official

title, the former chief scientific officer at Britain's Department of Health.

As I noted in a column earlier this year, the Daily Mail reported: " A

former British government medical officer responsible for deciding whether

medicines are safe has accused the government of 'utterly inexplicable

complacency' over the MMR triple vaccine for children. "

The official, Dr. Fletcher, became an expert witness for

parents' lawyers, which of course creates a competing interest that needs

to be factored in. But Fletcher said his new role gave him access to

documents that deeply concerned him.

" There are very powerful people in positions of great authority in

Britain and elsewhere who have staked their reputations and careers on the

safety of MMR and they are willing to do almost anything to protect

themselves, " he said.

Gosh, this is starting to get interesting, and not just for

Wakefield.
