ABC 7 Medical: Autism Study Prompts Debate -DC

[Guest guest]

This needs to be used in all state thimerosal bans...everyone involved in these legislations should obtain a copy of this letter. Each state Dept of Public Health should be given a copy. There is no excuse now for NOT providing thimerosal-free. "HOWEVER, ABC 7 NEWS HAS OBTAINED THIS LETTER FROM ONE OF THE U.S.'s LARGEST VACCINE MANUFACTURERS STATING IT CAN MAKE ENOUGH MERCURY-FREE FLU VACCINES FOR AMERICAN CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN, BUT SO FAR IT HASN'T BEEN ORDERED." http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0306/309536.html ABC 7 Medical: Autism Study

Prompts Debate Friday March 10, 2006 4:14pm Reporter: Kathy Fowler eVideo: ABC 7 Medical: Autism Study-WJLA Broadcast Script-Anchor:A NEW STUDY SHOWS A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN THE RATE OF AUTISM SINCE MERCURY HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM MOST CHILDHOOD VACCINES. BUT THE WHOLE TOPIC OF CHILDHOOD VACCINES REMAINS CONTROVERSIAL, BECAUSE THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL DISPUTES THE STUDY AS MEDICAL REPORTER KATHY FOWLER REPORTS. Kathy Fowler on set:LOCAL RESEARCHERS LOOKED AT 3 DIFFERENT FEDERAL AND STATE DATA BASES TO DETERMINE WHAT THEY SAY IS

ABSOLUTE PROOF THAT THIMEROSAL OR MERCURY IN VACCINES HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR AN EPIDEMIC OF AUTISM IN THIS COUNTRY.THE CDC (website - news) CALLS THE STUDY MISLEADING AND ONE LOCAL MOTHER SAYS ALL SHE WANTS IS THE TRUTH. Story Script: VICKY DEBOLD SAYS SHE WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY HER 8-YEAR-OLD SON SAM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM. SHE IS CONVINCED THIS NEW STUDY IS MORE PROOF THAT THIMEROSAL OR MERCURY IN HIS CHILDHOOD VACCINES PLAYED A ROLE. SHE NOTICED GRADUAL CHANGES IN HIM WITHIN DAYS OF HIS SHOTS. Vicky Debold: "As a parent and

as a someone with a doctorate in public health I think our CDC has failed us miserable. I'm not anti-vaccine, but I am definitely anti-mercury." ACCORDING TO LOCAL SCIENTISTS, WHO JUST PUBLISHED A STUDY IN THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, THERE HAS BEEN AN ALMOST 22 % DECREASE OF REPORTED NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS, INCLUDING AUTISM, SINCE MANUFACTURERS FIRST STARTED TO REMOVE MERCURY FROM VACCINES. MARK AND DAVID GEIER STUDIED 3 DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT DATABASES INCLUDING THE CDC'S OWN VACCINE ADVERSE EVENTS REPORTS TO TRACK THEIR RESULTS. Geier: "We've used their own numbers to show autism was up, and now it's on the decline it directly mirrors the amount of mercury in the shots."THE CDC SAYS ITS DATABASE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE USED AS A SCIENTIFIC TOOL ALTHOUGH CDC DOCTORS HAVE USED THE EXACT SAME DATABASE TO PUBLISH THEIR OWN STUDIES ON VACCINES. THE CDC INSISTS NO STUDIES

HAVE PROVEN A DEFINITIVE LINK BETWEEN MERCURY, VACCINES, AND AUTISM. THIS IS THE SAME STANCE ITS TAKEN FOR MORE THAN A DECADE. Vicky Debold, Mother: "I truly believe that sooner or later the truth will come out, and as a parent of an affected child that's all I care about, I don't care about making the CDC pay." SAM IS DOING WELL AT HOME AND AT HIS OAKTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOLLOWING YEARS OF MUSIC THERAPY AND NUMEROUS ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS FOR AUTISM. Vicky Debold: "He's a delightful child and he's just the love of our life and it just killed me to see what happened and it's just so exhausting to keep fighting the fight." Kathy Fowler on set:THE CDC SAYS IT'S TRYING TO ORDER MORE FLU SHOTS WITHOUT MERCURY FOR NEXT YEAR, BUT IS CONCERNED ABOUT SHORTAGES. HOWEVER, ABC 7 NEWS HAS OBTAINED THIS LETTER FROM ONE OF THE U.S.'s LARGEST VACCINE MANUFACTURERS STATING IT CAN MAKE ENOUGH MERCURY-FREE FLU VACCINES FOR AMERICAN

CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN, BUT SO FAR IT HASN'T BEEN ORDERED.
