The Age of Autism: 'Problems' in CDC data

By DAN OLMSTED

UPI Senior Editor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- For three years, the CDC has used a study

conducted on its own Vaccine Safety Datalink to reassure parents that

mercury in vaccines does not cause autism. Now a panel of government-

appointed experts says there are " serious problems " with exactly the

approach the CDC took.

" I think what we're saying is that (study) wasn't the last word and

that things need to be looked at again and perhaps with different

methodology, " chairwoman Irva Hertz-Picciotto told Age of Autism,

which obtained a copy of the panel's report.

They know they have a serious, serious problem. Attempts to manage them "coming clean"?

Dan Olmsted's colleague at UPI may very well have a "blowback" article next.

Stay tuned.

From the article:

" We actually just got the report and haven't had a chance to assess

it, " CDC spokesman Glen Nowak said Monday. " Our Office of Science

will be working with our Immunization Safety Office in terms of

where and how this fits into our research agenda. We've got a couple

of other studies under way. "

- Sounds like a game of hot potato to me

It looks increasingly likely that someone will have to deal with the adage:

When the whole world is calling you a liar, maybe the problem isn't the world.
