All child vaccines hit by backlash
- Take-up rates of all childhood vaccines fell as a result of fears
raised over a possible link between autism and the MMR jab, the country's
leading expert said yesterday. Dr Richard Roberts, who leads the
immunisation programme across Wales, said the fears raised about MMR had a
knock-on effect on confidence in other vaccines; and immunisation rates at
age one for illnesses like diphtheria, tetanus, polio, meningitis C and
haemophilus influenzae type B fell because of concerns about MMR, by

possible link with a mercury-based vaccine preservative. Both causes had
put him at odds with Eli Lilly and Co., a major employer in Burton's

Bush Administration Knew - Childhood Vaccines Cause Autism
- Vaccines are the only drugs that American children are
mandated to receive. Although it may be true that vaccines are mandated by
state governments, the decision to mandate a vaccine is based on the
recommendations of Federal advisory committees. In the interest of public
safety, Congress has a duty to ensure that advisory committee members
involved in vaccine policymaking are not improperly influenced by
conflicts of interest. In recent years, public trust in the Federal
policymaking related to vaccines causing Autism, has been broken by the
practice of ignoring obvious conflicts of interest. At this point,
immediate action by Congress is necessary to restore public confidence in
the safety of childhood vaccinations. Is There A Link Between Childhood
Vaccines And Autism? Is there a connection? I'll let readers judge for
themselves. By Evelyn Pringle |

Even with triumphs, vaccinations are vital - It's only one of about
two dozen vaccination doses most children receive by the time they are 6
years old. But it was one of the most visible efforts to eradicate a
disease from the United States. This year marks the 50th anniversary of
the approval of the Salk vaccine that helped eliminate polio from America.
The goal is for global eradication by the end of this year. And although
many of the other diseases children are vaccinated for also are rare
today, it's important to continue the immunizations, health officials
said. ''The major challenge is when people have the idea the disease is
gone and will stop vaccinating,'' said Dr. Christopher Kus, a pediatric
director of the state Department of Health's Division of Family Health. By

Legislation Protecting Vaccine Manufacturers from Liability Under
Guise of Protecting Americans from Terror Introduced by Sen. Gregg;
SafeMinds Urges Opposition to Bill Denying Compensation to Victims of
Neurological Problems Resulting from FDA Approved Medications - Once
again, Senators Gregg (R-NH) and Frist (R-TN) have introduced legislation
to shield the pharmaceutical industry from responsibility for exposing
American children to harmful levels of mercury from thimerosal, a mercury
containing preservative widely used in infant vaccines. The bill, S. 3,
"Protecting America in the War on Terror Act of 2005" introduced on
January 24th includes language that protects vaccine producers from
product liability under the guise of shielding the nation from biological
terrorism and increasing the death benefit paid to US soldiers. SafeMinds,
an advocacy group committed to raising awareness about causal links
between the mercury and neurodevelopmental disorders like ADD/ADHD and
autism, strongly opposes this effort. As this bill is at the top of the
legislative docket it has the full support of Senator Frist. By US

availability of services rather than environmental factors or immunizations,
suggests a new study. "This study is the first to measure the incidence—the
occurrence of new cases—of autism by applying consistent, contemporary
criteria for autism to a specific population over a long period of time,"
says study coauthor William Barbaresi of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
Minnesota, USA. "In doing so, the study accounts for improvements in the
diagnostic criteria for autism, the medical community's improved
understanding of this disease and changes in federal special education
laws.," by Betterhumans Staff |

No Link Found Between Vaccines and Autism - There is no link between
autism and immunizations, says a Mayo Clinic study in the January issue of
the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. Over the past two
decades there have been suggestions about a possible connection between
increasing rates of autism and immunization. However, this study found
no such link and suggests that the increase in autism may be due to a number
of factors. These include improved awareness about autism, changes in
diagnostic criteria and availability of services for children with autism,

containing six vaccinations by the age of four months. Government advisers
have given their support in principle to a vaccination against bacterial
meningitis, septicaemia and pneumonia, infections which strike about 550
under-fives in England and Wales each year and may kill between 50 and 100,

Take-up rates of all childhood vaccines had fallen as a result of fears
raised over a possible link between autism and the combined MMR (measles,

Richard Roberts, who leads the immunisation programme across Wales, said
the fears raised about MMR had had a knock-on effect on confidence in
other vaccines; and immunisation rates at the age of one for illnesses
like diphtheria, tetanus, polio, meningitis C and haemophilus influenzae

The Role of the Mercury Ion in Autism - Autism is generally seen as a
developmental delay because autistic children act and sound like much
younger children and clinical manifestations include speech difficulties,
lack of eye contact, isolation and no fear of danger. The cause of autism
has not been specifically identified. Some experts believe there are
bio-chemical reasons for autism; others suspect that it is a psychiatric
disorder. Some believe that a combination of the wrong foods and too many
antibiotics and environmental toxins can damage the colon and lead to
physical and behavioral problems, including autism. The scientific
evidence when put together points to bio-chemical reasons that produce
behavioral changes. By Beldeu Singh |

thimerosal (ethyl mercury), a neurotoxin, has contributed to a sharp
increase in reported rates of autism and other developmental disorders in
children. Nearly 5,000 compensation claims have been filed in a special
industry-funded vaccine injury branch of the US Court of Claims on behalf of

AUTISM-VACCINE INJURY COURT, CORRUPTION CONCERNS
- Los Angeles Times recently reported that the vaccine injury court in the
United States was riddled with conflict of interest concerns and high
level corruption concerns. These problems were disclosed last year by a
Seattle father who wrote an eye opening book that dealt with these
specific problems and others concerning Mercury, that was intentionally
added to children’s vaccines. The Book titled Mercury: The Winged
Messenger pointed out the details of this on going atrocity in great
detail.
It has been determined that the U.S. Government knew that vaccines
contained Mercury and did absolutely nothing to protect these innocent
children from harm. Parents of vaccine injured children are left with no
legal recourse in this tragedy. The U.S. Government has mandated that
children receive a minimum of 21 vaccines before a child can be admitted
to school. Many of these children who received these vaccines before 2001
are now permanently handicapped due to chronic mercury poisoning.

Mercury and mad hatters
- Preservative in children's vaccines was a health danger.
The Mad Hatter of Alice in Wonderland fame wasn't just fanciful fiction
from the mind of Lewis Carroll. Sadly, many haberdashers in 19th Century
England exhibited signs of mental illness, and worse, because of high
exposure to mercury used in hat making.
And even though mercury exposure was recognized as a health threat as
far back as 200 years ago, the chemical was unbelievably used as an
ingredient in children's vaccinations until just recently. The L.A.
Times reported Tuesday that a 1991 internal memo from Merck & Co,
recently obtained by the newspaper, warned executives about the high
doses of mercury children would receive though increased immunizations.
At the time, health authorities were expanding childhood immunization
programs, and Merck doctors estimated a 6-month-old baby who obtained
all the recommended vaccines would exceed the maximum daily guidelines
for mercury in fish by 87 times. |

Vaccine findings confirm fears
- Parents of children with autism said this week's revelation that at
least one pharmaceutical company knew of the high levels of mercury in
vaccinations years before disclosing it further supports their
suspicions that the poison causes neurodevelopmental disorders.
Many parents have long been suspicious of the effects of vaccines
containing thimerosal, a compound used to guard against contamination
and which is almost 50 percent ethyl mercury. Until recently, the
neurotoxin was used in many pediatric vaccines; public health officials
first acknowledged the high levels of mercury in those shots in 1999.

are linked to mercury exposure, including learning and attention
disabilities -- which are a growing problem -- and mental retardation.
Mercury also might be linked to the recent increase in autism, Parkinson's
disease and Alzheimer's disease...one in every 12 women of childbearing
age has mercury in her blood above the EPA 'safe' level...Toxic mercury

Bush Administration Knew - Childhood Vaccines Cause Autism
- Vaccines are the only drugs that American children are mandated to
receive. Although it may be true that vaccines are mandated by state
governments, the decision to mandate a vaccine is based on the
recommendations of Federal advisory committees. In the interest of public
safety, Congress has a duty to ensure that advisory committee members
involved in vaccine policymaking are not improperly influenced by
conflicts of interest. In recent years, public trust in the Federal
policymaking related to vaccines causing Autism, has been broken by the
practice of ignoring obvious conflicts of interest. At this point,
immediate action by Congress is necessary to restore public confidence in
the safety of childhood vaccinations. Is There A Link Between Childhood
Vaccines And Autism? Is there a connection? I'll let readers judge for
themselves. By Evelyn Pringle |
