Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi Steph, The best understanding I have is that there was a study commissioned by President Bush, early in his term, on the connection between thimerosol in vaccines and Autism. Then they hid the study and made people evoke the Freedom of Information Act to get their hands on it, which took about two years. The original study showed NO connection between thimerosol or mercury and Autism. Many people thought it was odd that they would hide a study that proved exactly what the drug companies were saying. In the meantime, with the study hidden, they were able to keep saying NO connection. It's pretty pathetic to make this kind of P value error in a study, pretty much anyone who has taken any class above Biology 101 is able to do this correctly and in fact, most computer programs that they run studies through compute the P value automatically. However, inaccurate math was used to evaluate the study. They have now done the Math correctly, the p level, which is the confidence level, or how sure they are the results they got are not due to chance, and lo and behold.....there is a statistically significant relationship (positive) between the amount of thimerosol a child was receiving and the increased incidence of Autism. So, the government sponsored study DID find that the higher the amount of thimerosol a child receives the more chance that child will be Autistic.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 The politicians who do the bidding of the big drug companies proposed the following: 1. That it be mandated the states that had taken thimerosol out of vaccines that they be made to put it back IN. This was defeated and all the Senator's name on this bill are no longer around. 2. They successfully protected the vaccine makers from any claims against the parents of vaccine damaged kids. This clause was put in one of the bills for renewed funding for the troops in Iraq. So, no, no parents will be compensated for the damage and loss of their child. Sad, pathetic affair, practically genocide.
