I do hope that Congressman Weldon's initiative will be undertaken,

and proof

is show that indeed, thousands of children where poisoned by the

perservatives in their vaccines. We are undertaking the very long and

expensive process

of identifying if Kaitlin is indeed one of these victims. Kaitlin's

official diagnosis is PDD-NOS, an autistic spectrum disorder. Kaitlin

never

actually

regressed, but then again she started receiving her vaccines before

we ever

left the hospital, and there was no time for her to regress and lose

developmental skills. Please forward this email on to any parent you

know,

they

should be made aware. Pamela

_National Journal Article Reveals Admission From CDC, Latest Vaccine

Study

Data Contained Many Children Too Young To Be Diagnosed As Autistic_

Official Accepts Critics' Charge, Parents Say Data Was Manipulated To

Cover

Up Hidden Dangers Of Mercury Additive, Congressman Weldon Asks Data

Be Shared

With Outside Researchers ATLANTA, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- An article

released

by National Journal reveals disturbing new information about a Vaccine

Safety DataLink (VSD) study by the Centers for Disease Control

published in

November's Pediatrics. A journalist for the National Journal, Neil

Munro,

reports

that DeStefano, a CDC official and co-author of the latest VSD

study,

admitted the study contained many children too young to be diagnosed

as

autistic. The article quotes DeStefano as stating, " This is true. "

The study, third in a series, researched the link between Thimerosal,

a

sterilizing agent added to childhood vaccines and pregnancy shots,

and the

explosive rise in autism which CDC says now affects 6 in every 1000

children.

The

increased numbers, which a study by UC last year confirmed

could not be

explained by better diagnostic measures, is said to be caused by the

steep

increase in vaccine doses containing Thimerosal. Thousands of parents

have

reported a change in their child directly following eposure to

Thimerosal-

containing vaccines (TCV). CDC's original study conducted in 2000

found children

were twice as likely to develop autism if exposed to TCVs, but the

study was

never published.

Physician and Congressman Dave Weldon (R-FL) has requested an

investigation

into the data. In a letter written to CDC Director Gerberding

in early

November, Weldon states, " I have reviewed the article and have serious

reservations about the four-year evolution and conclusions of this

study. " And,

" I

found a disturbing pattern which merits a thorough, open, timely, and

independent review by researchers outside of the CDC, HHS, the

vaccine industry,

and

others with a conflict of interest in vaccine related issues. "

Parents and advocacy groups say it's only a matter of time before the

public

realizes the true impact TCVs have had on small children. To them,

the latest

advisories warning pregnant women and small children against eating

mercury-containing fish is a good indication that more facts aout

mercury's

role in

neurodevelopmental disorders are slowly coming to the surface. " It's

so sad

that our children were permanently injured by ethylmercury

thimerosal, " says

parent Fournier of the National Autism Association. " It's just

as sad

that it is continuously covered up. "

The National Journal article comes on the heels of two editorials in

the Wall

Street Journal which have created their own controversy by defending

a rider

inserted into the Homeland Security bill in late 2002. The rider

would have

protected vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits specifically pertaining

to

Thimerosal.
