Guest guest Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Epidemiology: A century of « progress »? From removing the pump handle to avoid streams of polluted water making people ill to removing the data stream to remove clear evidence of harm inflicted to people. The results are evident. In the first case people stopped getting ill, in the second case illness continues and gets worse. Worse we can only guess if autism is only the start of the damage that mercury is causing. The signification of handle has gone full circle so today we know how to « handle ». From removing handles to « handling » by blatant and large scale removal of incriminating data. Epidemiology is the study of what happens to people when exposed to hazards. Like all science it is as good as the techniques, expertise and motives of those using it. Today epidemiology is increasingly used to deny evidence of harm by taking only the data you require and not the data that informs. Todays science is becoming more and more, we don't know but it can't be X and less and less thalidomide can cause flipper like defomation to the growing foetus. Authority science on autism is 100 per cent we don't know and 100 per cent it can't be X where in this case X is a deliberate and unnecessary addition of a brain damaging toxic chemical, the most toxic chemically known to man. Not so much science as blocking the science that indicates harm from thimerosal. There is much evidence to show epidemiology is only as good as the people who practice its art. Sir Doll is undoubtably the best example of how good epidemiology can be to show illness for example from tobacco and sadly how easy it is in the modern world to make even more money by saying and doing nothing much. Never much liked for destroying or at least allowing people to get cancer knowing they might to making a personal fortune by using his expertise to say and do nothing. A case of serve, obey and keep your mouth shut. Sir Doll is also the best example of epidemiology going bad or rather going into hibernation. When clear evidence of the link between autism and mercury was found by a junior and temporary member of the CDC, the history of what happened next is increasingly clear. Data that showed harm from mercury was removed until less than 5 per cent of it was left for epidemiology studies. The result was even here of a link and further data was added to remove the last vestiges of evidence of harm from what has been known of this chemicals ability to take away minds for thousands of years. The chance to show harm and eliminate a mistake was lost. In the corruption of data the result actually showed a protective and intellectual improving ability of substances that destroy brain cells. A remarkable result which no can explain. The explanation is simple. Pure fraud. Today we still have no acceptance that this work was fraudulent and that the paper needs to be coded as being of little or no value. It is in fact the main reason why denial of harm for neurological illness from thimerosal is accepted as fact. Evidence that began as showing a hundred fold correlation, something rarely if ever seen in epidemiology. Mercury, Autism Spectrum Disorder and the very ordered defence of any connection between the two. The defence of a huge correlation between mercury vaccines and autism is a criminally insane manoevre by an organisation charged with protecting our health. The elimination of mercury has in 2010 not only been halted but for several years both the amount and age of exposure have moved in directions to increase harm to infants. Autism became a disorder of increasing concern during the 1990's with several thousand parents today (2010) fighting for recognition of the harm from mercury injections given to their children up to 20 years ago. Decisions in favour of harmed children typically taking more than 15 years and making any rapid response to harm in USA and UK completely impossible; The scientific position in 1999 was very clear: On December 17th 1999 for example two people at the CDC knew exactly how bad and large the connection was between mercury vaccines and autism. The odds of getting neurological illness after mercury vaccines ranged from a 20 fold risk up to a 100 fold risk. Further the CDC people involved, knew the risk from mercury vaccines was not noticeable after the first month of a child's life. To summarise 1999 knowledge: We knew from thousands of years ago that mercury takes away our mind. We knew organomercury compounds posed a delayed action neurological response even to healthy grown people with a delay of 5 to 10 months from small amounts not actually eaten but entering the body through the skin (spill or deliberate injection). This knowledge coming as a shock to the scientific world with the death from neurological illness to Wetterhahn in 1997. We did by now know generally of the deliberate addition of thimerosal to vaccines and this fact had been known by vaccine developers for they actually commanded and added the mercury to preserve and to increase the effect of other materials in the vaccine. Until this time most people including many who control vaccine safety had no idea of the mercury toxic addition or exactly how much was added. We also knew that any mercury vaccine tested was toxic even when diluted 100 times and for some countries for this reason alone was not a preservative to be used in vaccines with the proviso that for every mercury vaccine there were non-toxic alternatives. This was true for the USA with mercury free DTP vaccines that were in this study classed as containing mercury thus nullifying any science in the final report. Usage of mercury compounds in medical drugs and agriculture had established over time the huge and gradually evident harm from organomercury and even inorganic mercury compounds and for drinking water the reference level was 2 parts per billion (2ppb) vastly less than that in any vaccine both up to 1999 and today in many so called mercury free vaccines. Amounts of mercury not only vastly higher but at levels where filmed destruction of growing brain cells has been achieved where even lead salts known to induce autism had no effect. There was much work already known on thimerosal but as any research is expensive and time consuming for simplicity methylmercury was the chosen toxin to study for many practical reasons. Also thimerosal has undergone many name changes and misspellings making a library search difficult. The toxic part of any mercury compound is mainly the mercury atom so the connection of methyl and ethyl alcohol as being of vastly different toxicity is both obnoxious and false and even here it is not the methyl alcohol per se which is toxic but the formaldehyde metabolite. Methyl alcohol in small amounts with large amounts of ethyl alcohol hides stops the methyl alcohol toxicity. In any event ethyl alcohol is tolerated by humans but is in itself toxic and can damage an unborn child. For this reason drinking of alcohol is an event recognised to cause potential harm to the pre-natal child. But ethyl alcohol consumption is illegal before adulthood and by this time the person makes an intelligent choice. A one day baby has no choice about receiving mercury vaccines and claims of theoretical harm are evident danger for some babies of even their continued life. The current research in 1999 at the CDC was, as history shows, too damaging to release to the public in its original form. The evidence of harm both clear and evident with unknown harm not even investigated by this team. Thes original data sets have not been made public and requests for them have met with denials that they now exist. They have been lost. This is clear nonsense as the database is that of the USA nation and essential for just this kind of research. It appears only to be made public when the results are politically acceptable. The loss of national data in peace time is unacceptable. The first available known data come from a meeting in 2000 where the participants were asked not to disclose the events as they would be published in two weeks. A blatant lie and attempt to hide the facts from a public unknowingly exposed to harm. In the event they were never published and the final paper on this subject was so dishonest as to be worthless. Copies of the data are clearly marked confidential and inscribed DO NOT COPY. Honest persons abide by such notices confident that any information needed for the public would be passed through reputable channels. The evidence of harm was never honourably passed on to the public involved. The final report published years later actually shows organomercury brain destroying materials as improving your intelligence. A finding that actually destroys any thoughts of intelligence, integrity or honesty in the authors or the publishing journal even. For example the paper claimed to compare the effects of mercury vaccines but did no such thing. The data was handled, manipulated and selected to show nothing. The published paper claimed the lead author still worked for the CDC, a small point, but shows the lack of rigour. The lead author had moved from a temporary and junior position with the CDC to a senior and important position at a vaccine company that would lose favour and money if sued for harming those it claimed to protect from illness, disorders and death. This first alteration of the facts used five different criteria to reduce the chance of a repeat finding of 20 to 100 fold correlations with neurological disorders. The first known alteration reduced risks to more normal and modest levels. For example the largest risk of autism after mercury vaccines dropped to 2.5 times no extra risk. Further by reducing numbers it was not possible to achieve significance. This despite graphs showing a very clear and gradual rise in risk of autism with no change found at 50µg, risk of 1.25 at 60µg and the risk of 2.5 at more than 60µg of thimerosal. The entire database relates to more than 2 million infants but this first alteration of data had reduced the numbers down to less than a one tenth of a million infants. More than 95 per cent of the infants vaccinated had been rejected as unsuitable for evaluating thimerosal harm but passed as well to be vaccinated with what has always been regarded as chemically the most toxic element out of a hundred or so elements. When you regard the initial remark that harm was done in the first month the first criteria to be removed in this 2000 study was those children before 1991 and effectively at a time when no child normally was vaccinated in the first month of life. How can this be an honest study when you callously take out more than 50 per cent of the children as they would prove harm from early vaccines especially early mercury vaccines. Remember this first alteration of data reduced in one stroke harm of 100 fold down to levels of 2 or so. Epidemiology in the 21st century is not suspect it is not science but pure politics. The study in any event was now concerned with children born in 1992 through to 1997. I am not certain how many children in this time have now died or got autism and other illnesses but the figure of autism children in this study now comes down to 67 individuals. The study of whether mercury causes autism is a battle over these 67 people and how they were chosen from a huge database. If you take sudden death after vaccines using a day after as the cut off you would get 3 times this number of deaths following mercury vaccines. This alone shows that it is nearly impossible to overcome the idea that a vaccine saves people from illness. Deaths and injuries not vaccine preventable can rise with impunity on the model that we are saving life from the vaccines. For example in the UK in this time period probably zero people died from any vaccine preventable illness. Deaths of a much larger order from vaccines should therefore cause concern even if only warning such as on packets of cigarettes so people can make informed choices for their child. Remember if the honest work had been published it was suggesting babies of age 1 month and over have much less chance of harm. I have mentioned that for every mercury vaccine there are and do exist equivalent non-mercury alternatives. Ie vaccines which on a mercury based model for autism would if included in the wrong dataset completely nullify any meaning in the results. We are risking life for a few cents. To be explicit the research put some of non-mercury vaccines on the mercury side and vice-versa and any epidemiology science of mercury versus non-mercury vaccines is essentially destroyed. This fraud is possible as not a single mercury content in blood, urine or faeces or any mercury challenge tests or indeed any chemical analysis has been attempted. We have no absolute proof of fraud but solid evidence of fraud only. The whole exercise can be summarised as a series of data changes, eliminating embarrassing data sets and importing data sets of less or zero quality. The original 2 million with a 200 fold correlation had except for a few cases come down to virtually one in all cases and the inclusion of another set of unreliable data enabled the final pediatrics report to actually show clear benefit from mercury vaccines. Not so much a triumph of manipulation but sheer unadulterated political fraud and deceit. Neil Halsey who inititiated vaccines for the age one day baby and was clearly embarrassed by this research and admitted promptly the folly of adding mercury to vaccines. Even in December 2003 in response to the paper showing no harm from mercury he writes: The results differ from those presented in 2001. The original paper with the promise it would be made public years earlier had been broken. He also noted that despite the finding of no correlation there was in the paper an admitted correlation which had then been swiftly discounted. There is eveidence of harm but it is not anything to take seriously. Death and harm to infants not to be taken seriously. Months later another more serious allegation was made by Dr Mark Geier. We now know that this letter was held up for all this time and only got published by intense and persistant lobbying. He notes that some vaccines which were described as mercury vaccines were in fact not mercury vaccines at all. In effect making a nonsense out of the whole of this paper and its findings. DeStefano's response to this was almost immediate, suggesting that Mark Geier's letter had been seen before its much delayed publication and a suitable response or riposte prepared. He concedes the coding of thimerosal was inaccurate. His first parry is that allowance was made for this but that it was not evident. His next parry is that it was not a major portion of the vaccines. His third parry is actually say this fact of vaccines with and without mercury helped in their research and data collection. All very careful cover up and arrogance for good science. No oops we made an error. The data had been changed so much even an oops would have been dishonest by now. Just toughing it out and to date no one in authority has taken on board the dishonesty in this article. In short any faith in one of the principal authors is at a very low level and of course the lead author is effectively gagged so did not enter into the debate over intellectual honesty in this research. Justification for the manipulation and repeated manipulation of data sets and bringing in and eliminating of data is enlightening: DeStefano says 1 The methods of analysis were refined. It is not clear how this was achieved. It has no appearance of refinement only that of fraud. 2 Errors in data were corrected. To correct a 100 fold correlation to 2 perhaps. Not amention of why the hundred fold correlation was corrected only the final results of no correlation. 3 Suggestions by reviewers were incorporated. No doubt eliminating vaccines before 1992 etc? Also eliminating parents who had genuine health concerns – hardly suggestive of refinement but possibly of covering up. We can only guess what he was hinting at here. 4 More children of interest were identified. The first alteration actually reduced children of interest. 67 people with autism for the period 1992 to 1997 in USA seems hardly to suggest much desire to identify children of interest. There must have been hundreds dying within hours of their vaccines that occurred in this period. All put down to SIDS, a cover up of vaccine harm without precedence until this paper arrived. 5 The demand to see the data sets has with one exception been totally denied despite the remark of DeStefano that it was available. In fact the dataset was put in private hands and the data used for the Verstraeten work has been lost. Further work has led to both dubious support for the innocuousness of thimerosal but research showing clear harm has been explained away as bad science or those that performing it are somehow incompetent. The changes in Verstraeten's research are not just suspicious but show clear evidence of tampering on many occasions with no openness today to review exactly what came to pass. We have only fragments and evidence of fruad in handling data. There is clear evidence of harm from mercury given early in life causing harm. There is clear evidence of scientific fraud to achieve results showing no harm. There is clear evidence of political manoevering to damn those who show the harm from mercury and to conclude that any and all of the data set additions and changes are part of normal 21st century epidemiology as practised by world experts like Sir Doll who proved the harm of getting lung cancer from tobacco smoking. We are effectively in the hands of politicians who tell us everything has been handled correctly. Today we have one child in three with neurological problems. The rise is faster than any possible gene change. If it has been handled correctly then the harm and death to infants is the correct USA 2010 policy. This is euthanasia 21st century style.
