The beginning of a well-spring of contrition?

It would be in their interest to do so.

Their admissions, apparently not supported by the facts.

CDC Statement regarding autism-related advertisement in USA Today

We know that autism is a heart-wrenching situation for many families and many children and it presents special challenges that we would certainly want to prevent and do anything we could to avoid. When it comes to the nation’s immunization recommendations, the CDC and Public Health Service are always guided by one overriding goal and interest—all our recommendations are designed to protect the health and well being of all children.

We are very disappointed in an advertisement that appears in today’s edition of USA Today. The advertisement completely mischaracterizes the efforts of CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Institute of Medicine, and others to protect the health and well being of the nation’s children. CDC has sponsored multiple public meetings and scientific reviews, we’ve involved numerous outside organizations and experts in our research and recommendations, and we’ve made continued investments in research designed to discover factors which may place children at risk for developing autism. Importantly, if levels of thimerosal found in vaccines, including influenza vaccines, were associated with harm, CDC, the Public Health Service, and the nation’s physicians (e.g., the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, and American Academy of Family Physicians) would not recommend their use.

We’ve made substantial progress in removing thimerosal from vaccines – and have done so without placing infants and children at risk for potentially serious vaccine preventable diseases. As we continue in our efforts to further reduce the use of thimerosal in vaccines, we must also ensure, particularly in the case of influenza, that our efforts do not create serious undesirable outcomes, such as vaccine shortages that would place people, including children, at risk. History has shown that disruptions in vaccine supplies can render the population more vulnerable to diseases we know we can prevent.

We don't know, unfortunately, for children with autism what caused it, nor do we have sound, scientifically valid information on effective treatments. That's a fact. We just simply don't have answers to the cause of this disorder or the disorders that fall into the autism spectrum. We don't have a complete picture of the scope of the problem. We're just learning about the subtleties that can be early signs of autism, we're learning about the importance of early detection, and we're learning about the importance of early treatment, but we have a long way to go before we really understand the scope and magnitude of this problem in our country and what the trends really mean.

As we're looking for answers related to the causes and effective treatments for autism, we have to also be careful not to base our health recommendations on unproven hypotheses or fear. We have to base our decisions on the best available science that we have in front of us, and today the best available science indicates to us that vaccines save lives, and that's a very, very important message for all of us to remember.

We know that autism is a heart-wrenching

challenges that we would certainly want to prevent and do anything we could to

avoid. When it comes to the nation’s immunization recommendations, the

CDC and Public Health Service are always guided by one overriding goal and

interest—all our recommendations are designed to protect the health and well

being of all children.

We are very disappointed in an advertisement

that appears in today’s edition of USA Today. The advertisement

completely mischaracterizes the efforts of CDC, the American

Academy of Pediatrics, the Institute of Medicine, and others to protect the

health and well being of the nation’s children. CDC has sponsored

multiple public meetings and scientific reviews, we’ve involved numerous

outside organizations and experts in our research and recommendations, and

we’ve made continued investments in research designed to discover factors which

may place children at risk for developing autism. Importantly, if levels of

thimerosal found in vaccines, including influenza vaccines, were associated

with harm, CDC, the Public Health Service, and the nation’s physicians (e.g.,

the American Academy

of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, and American Academy

of Family Physicians) would not recommend their use.

We’ve made substantial progress in removing

thimerosal from vaccines – and have done so without placing infants and

children at risk for potentially serious vaccine preventable diseases. As

we continue in our efforts to further reduce the use of thimerosal in vaccines,

we must also ensure, particularly in the case of influenza, that our efforts do

not create serious undesirable outcomes, such as vaccine shortages that would

place people, including children, at risk. History has shown that disruptions

in vaccine supplies can render the population more vulnerable to diseases we

launched a new website...www.putchildrenfirst.org

Documentation on the website regarding the history of the inquiry into

vaccines and autism issues.

The CDC will go into full court press mode now. They have got to be

freaking out about the new website that clearly shows the utter

magnitude of their corruption.

Their talking points will be:

1. Quotes are taken out of context.

2. Thimerosal in the doses given are completely safe.

3. We pulled most of the thimerosal out of the vaccines in 1999.

Gerberding has to be having a complete cow right about now.

Thanks for that link. I just sent them my opinion! I

encourage everyone to go to that website and let the

By

acknowledging the ad in USA Today, CDC has put itself, and us, in mainstream’s

limelight, and opened the proverbial can of worms.

By

responding, they have catapulted our cause, and our evidence, into that very

limelight. We should now take their reply, point by point, and discredit

it.

JB and all the contributing groups and people, thank you so very much.

It's sickening. Their press release is the same " shortages of vaccines " garbage

they always

spout. And pretending that they've taken all relevant data into account is just

criminal.

" out of context " is a quick and easy, pleasant sounding, somewhat

reassuring sound bite, totally lacking in substance in this particular

issue - or so I assume - I mean, this may be a naive question, but has

anyone at the CDC or elsewhere ever attempted to take these quotes -

item by item - and explain (i.e. clearly frame) each one of them

within the supposed " proper " context?

wouldn't today have been the perfect opportunity?

" the number of dose related relationships [between mercury and autism]

are linear and statistically significant. You can play with this all

you want. They are linear. They are statistically significant. "

trying hard to imagine how the " proper " context could possibly be

anything other than exactly what it appears to be.

Until the day that Gerberding and McCormick climb up on the soapbox,

transcripts in hand, and publicly describe what each excerpt " really

meant " (as an alternative to just throwing out words like " scientific

illiteracy " ) the out-of-context argument is nothing more than just

another exercise in spin.

It is an exercise in spin... because the CDC is hoping that people will read

their press

release, but NOT see the ad or visit putchildrenfirst.org

JB Handley, & Crew have done us all a great service. They're making the

rest of our

jobs so much easier by continuing to broaden public awareness on scales we've

The bigger question is why they don't pick apart the science showing

thimerosal's causative/biological/toxicological effects.

They don't because they CANNOT.

Why don't they examine the children, the urine, the gut, the immune

panels, the chelation challenge results?

They don't because it is what Vaerstraten said... " It's true. It's

Thimerosal. "

The only defense they have is the need for vaccines, in their warped,

herd-immunity minds.
