[sSRI-Research] CHILDREN 27-TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP AUTISM WITH

EXPOSURE TO MERCURY CONTAINING VACCINES

 

CDC Vaccine Data Leads Scientists to Shocking Discovery

The Institute of Medicine held a meeting to review research that has been

found, which links thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative in vaccines, and

neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism. The panel used data from the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Vaccine Datalink, which

concluded that children who are given three thimerosal-containing vaccines

are 27 times more likely to develop autism than children who receive

thimerosol-free vaccines.

 

Thimerosal has been gradually removed from vaccines since 1999, however it

is still present in some vaccinations, including virtually all flu shots.

 

During the review, medical experts discussed the results from a study that

showed urinary mercury concentrations were six times higher in children with

autism, as opposed to normal-age/vaccine matched controls. They also said

that they found evidence that suggested the link between

thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism had a higher risk than that

between lung cancer and smoking cigarettes.

CHILDREN 27-TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP AUTISM WITH EXPOSURE TO MERCURY-

CONTAINING VACCINES, FINDINGS REVIEWED AT TODAY'S IOM MEETING IN DC

 

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ --

 

Today, the Institute of Medicine will hold a one-day meeting to review

important new research on the link between thimerosal, a mercury-based

preservative in vaccines, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

One of the larger studies under review comes from the CDC's own Vaccine

Safety Datalink. Under independent investigation, CDC's data concludes

children are 27-times more likely to develop autism after exposure to three

thimerosal-containing vaccines (TCVs), than those who receive

thimerosal-free versions.

 

The findings are not only disturbing to government officials like U.S. Rep.

Dave Weldon, M.D. (R-FL), who is also scheduled to speak before the IOM

panel, they suggest autism via TCVs has a higher relative risk than that

between lung cancer and smoking, which according to the American Cancer

Society is only 22 for men and 11 for women. " This absolutely confirms what

parents have been saying for years, " says Jo Pike, President, National

Autism Association. Like Pike, thousands of parents have reported sharp

regressions in their children following a TCV and many of those children

have gone on to receive a label of autism. An easy mistake to make since the

symptoms of autism and mercury poisoning are almost identical.

 

Dr. Mark Geier is the lead investigator in the discovery. A medical doctor

with a Ph.D. in genetics, he, along with fellow researcher, David Geier,

will discuss their findings of the CDC data in front of an IOM panel. Among

a host of other physicians and researchers presenting will be Dr. Jeff

Bradstreet. He will discuss the results from his peer-reviewed study which

concluded that urinary mercury concentrations were six times higher in

children with autism vs. normal-age/vaccine-matched controls.

 

The presentations will begin at 8:00 AM at The National Academy of Sciences,

Auditorium 2100 C Street NW. Dr. Mark Geier and David Geier are scheduled to

present their findings at 12:15 PM. Weldon speaks at 8:00. Bradstreet at

4:00. For an agenda, go to:
