I'm being driven out says second expert to link autism and jabs

2/10/05 A former government adviser who has controversially linked

infant vaccines to autism in children claims she is the victim of a

disciplinary action " witch-hunt " .

 

The child psychologist Lisa Blakemore-Brown believes that her

outspokenness has made her enemies in the pharmaceutical business and

in the Government.

 

Ms Blakemore-Brown, 57, has expounded the theory that diphtheria,

tetanus and pertussis innoculations routinely given to babies at two

months could be linked to autism and a range of allergies. She is

facing disciplinary charges after being officially accused by the

British Psychological Society of being potentially unfit to practise

and of being paranoid.

 

She says she is the victim of a " witch-hunt " and believes her

situation echoes that of Dr Andrew Wakefield, the gastroenterologist

whose research linked the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to a

national rise in autism.

 

This resulted in a widespread campaign to discredit his work and

culminated in his being forced out of his job.

 

Ms Blakemore-Brown has been ordered to attend a confidential hearing

later this month where a panel will decide on her future.

 

Until last year, the DTP innoculations given to British babies

contained a perservative called thiomersal, which is made of 50 per

cent mercury.

 

Ms Blakemore-Brown has backed the stance of several scientists who

claimed that excess levels of mercury in an infant's body could be a

precursor for autism.

 

She has also widely criticised the medical establishment for falsely

accusing cot death mothers of murder.

 

She has denounced what she says is a tendency within health agencies

to label the parents of genuinely autistic children as having

Munchausen's Syndrome By Proxy.

 

This is a controversial condition widely diagnosed by the now

disgraced professors Roy Meadows and David Southall.

 

Between 1996 and 2002 Ms Blakemore-Brown repeatedly wrote to Blair, the prime minister, and ministers warning that miscarriages of

justice were happening to women convicted of killing their babies as a

result of having MSBP, when in fact the fatalities were cot deaths.

 

A number of women jailed for this have now had their convictions

overturned on appeal.

 

Now Ms Blakemore-Brown, who has works as an independent educational

psychologist assessing the needs of children and adults with autism

and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, says that a whispering

campaign against her has caused her to lose business.

 

As a member of the BSP - of which she is also an associated fellow -

since 1987, if she is deemed unfit to practise she will be stripped of

her chartered status and will in effect become an outcast within the

profession. " I have made enemies in the past 10 years, of that there

is no doubt, " she said last night. " Things have gone on which seem

beyond coincidence, such as people hacking into my e-mail account and

some years ago a woman stole documents from my house and tried to

access my bank account. "

 

The decision by the BPS to bring Ms Blakemore-Brown before a " fitness

to practise " hearing stems from a complaint made by a client who

alleged that she failed to liaise properly with her after assessing

her son for ADHD.

 

Last night, the BPS refused to comment.
