This is of course the most heated debate in medicine and it shows no signs of lessening. Many many parents reading your article would be struck by the sentence-- " Vaccination truly is an act of love. " These are the people, myself included, who took their previously healthy, normally developing children to the doctor for check-ups and after vaccinations, many containing the mercury-based preservative thimerosal, these children regressed into autism. They developed concomitant health problems like bowel disorders, severe allergies, asthma, and epilepsy. For years countless parents have been saying exactly what the Poling did at their press conference: Vaccines injured their children. " Immunizations save lives. In fact, other than safe drinking water, no public health intervention in history has saved more lives. " Just saying that vaccines save lives doesn't preclude that they also have serious and damaging side effects. " Recently, the federal government reached a settlement with a Georgia family who said that their child was harmed by vaccinations she had received. According to news reports, the child had an underlying medical condition that may have been aggravated by the vaccines, triggering autistic-like symptoms. " In Scandals: The Shots Heard 'Round the World, Sandy Gottstein wrote this about the case: The court found that an underlying mitochondrial disorder was " worsened " by vaccines, resulting in " autistic-like " symptoms. (In case you are wondering, there is no difference between autism and autistic-like symptoms since autism is defined by those symptoms.) The clear-cut connection ended the case early. The government and the medical profession would like us to believe that the condition is rare, and that the vaccines Hannah received were among many environmental factors that theoretically could have pushed her over the edge, although they concede in this case that it was the vaccines. What the government and the medical profession do not want us to consider, however, is that the vaccines might have caused the mitochondrial condition in the first place. Yet there is evidence (e.g. 1) that vaccines can do exactly that. Since autism is defined by symptoms, to say " autism-like symptoms " is the same as autism. I'm sure in Hannah Poling's medical records it says, autism, not " autism-like symptoms. " Deirdre Imus is founder and president of the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology, part of Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC) in New Jersey and also a cofounder and co-director of the Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids with Cancer. She recently talked about the word game currently being used with the term " autism-like symptoms " on her husband's radio/TV show: The Poling case has put this controversy directly into the spot light and many thousands of parents who were previously unaware of this issue are now asking questions. They're hearing local families on TV stations from South Carolina to San Diego tell about how their children regressed into autism after vaccinations. Many parents are quoted saying that they wouldn't vaccinate another child. The link, Clean Vaccines in Oklahoma http://cleanupvaccines.blogspot.com/, has a number of these reports. This ad ran in USA Today on Feb 12 and 29: Green our vaccines. And administer them with greater care. http://www.generationrescue.org/pdf/080212.pdf It's a wakeup call on the need for safe vaccines. You write, " In fact, at least 16 studies into vaccines and autism have found no link between the two. " This is also what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is always telling the public, but those studies are not proof of anything. They are epidemiological studies. They're the same kind done by the tobacco industry in the 1940s and 50s as proof that smoking didn't cause lung cancer. The results can be easily manipulated to get the findings the researcher wants. What's missing here is even one toxicological study on the mercury preservative used in vaccines that can show a level where it isn't toxic. There's never been one that could find that level. I wrote a piece about the studies the government uses called " Studies Show No Link " published in 2007 Anne McElroy Dachel : Never Mind the Mercury. Actually lots of studies show a link between unsafe vaccines and the epidemic of autism. More and more questions are being raised. Do a search for Dr. Boyd Haley, University of Kentucky; Dr. Mady Hornig, Columbia University, Dr. Burbacher, University of Washington; Dr. Mark Geier, President of The Genetic Centers of America and Geier, Vice President of The Institute of Chronic Illnesses, and Dr. Jill , University of Arkansas. They are just a handful of the independent scientists whose work links vaccines to neurological damage in our children. Research on vaccines can be found on this link: http://www.generationrescue.org/studies.html The National Autism Association has said that while officials continue to claim that there is no science linking vaccines to autism, many peer-reviewed published studies confirm the link between vaccinations and neurological injuries with symptoms nearly identical to autism spectrum disorders (To view some of the relevant studies, visit http://www.national autismassociatio n.org/library. php ) This is not a simple issue. The medical community and the federal health agencies have watched the autism rate in the U.S. explode from one in 10,000 children in the 1970s to one in every 150 today, including one in every 94 boys, and they've sounded no alarm. They ignored thousands of parents who linked their child's regression into autism to the vaccines they received. They promoted the groundless claim that some elusive autism gene is responsible for the overwhelming numbers of disabled children who weren't here twenty years ago, and they have refused to address the controversy openly and honestly. These medical officials are out of time. A growing number of well-credentialed experts are taking a public stand on the issue of unsafe vaccines and autism. Their voices will be the ones parents will be listening to. This is a subject that is getting increased national attention and it deserves accurate and fair coverage. We're seeing more and more examples of that kind of reporting.
