I was asked to write a paper on some of the newer mechanisms of

vaccine damage to the nervous system, but in the interim I came across

an incredible document that should blow the lid off the cover-up being

engineered by the pharmaceutical companies in conjunction with

powerful governmental agencies.

 

It all started when a friend of mind sent me a copy of a letter from

Congressman David Weldon, M.D. to the director of the CDC, Dr Julie L.

Gerberding, in which he alludes to a study by a Doctor Thomas

Verstraeten, then representing the CDC, on the connection between

infant exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines and

neurodevelopmental injury. In this shocking letter Congressman Weldon

referrers to Dr. Verstraeten's study which looked at the data from the

Vaccine Safety Datalink and found a significant correlation between

thimerosal exposure via vaccines and several neurodevelopmental

disorders including tics, speech and language delays, and possibly to ADD.

 

Congressman Weldon questions the CDC director as to why, following

this meeting, Dr. Verstraeten published his results, almost four years

later, in the journal Pediatrics to show just the opposite, that is,

that there was no correlation to any neurodevelopmental problems

related to thimerosal exposure in infants. In this letter, Congressman

Weldon refers to a report of the minutes of this meeting held in

Georgia, which exposes some incredible statements by the " experts "

making up this study group. The group's purpose was to evaluate and

discuss Dr. Verstraeten's results and data and make recommendation

that would eventually lead to possible alterations in the existing

vaccine policy.

 

I contacted Congressman Weldon's legislative assistant and he kindly

sent me a complete copy of this report. Now, as usual in these cases,

the government did not give up this report willingly, it required a

Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to pry it loose. Having read the

report twice and carefully analyzed it; I can see why they did not

want any outsiders to see it. It is a bombshell, as you shall see. In

this analysis, I will not only describe and discuss this report, but

also will frequently quote their words directly and supply the exact

page number so others can see for themselves.

 

The official title of the meeting was the " Scientific Review of

Vaccine Safety Datalink Information. " This conference, held on June

7-8, 2000 at Simpsonwood Retreat Center, Norcross, Georgia, assembled

51 scientists and physicians of which five represented vaccine

manufacturers. These included Smith Kline Beecham, Merck, Wyeth, North

American Vaccine and Aventis Pasteur.

 

During this conference, these scientists focused on the study of the

Datalink material, whose main author was Dr. Thomas Verstraesten who

identified himself as working at the National Immunization Program of

the CDC. It was discovered by Congressman Weldon that Dr. Verstraeten

left the CDC shortly after this conference to work for GlaxoSmithKline

in Belgium which manufacturers vaccines, a recurring pattern that has

been given the name a " revolving door " It is also interesting to note

that GlaxoSmithKline was involved in several lawsuits over

complications secondary to their vaccines.

 

To start off the meeting Dr. Roger Bernier, Associate Director for

Science in the National Immunization Program (CDC), related some

pertinent history. He stated that Congressional action in 1977

required that the FDA review mercury being used in drugs and biologics

(vaccines). In meeting this order, the FDA called for information from

the manufacturers of vaccines and drugs. He notes that a group of

European regulators and manufacturers met on April 1999 and noted the

situation but made no recommendations of changes. In other words it

was all for show.

 

At this point Dr. Bernier made an incredible statement (page 12). He

said, " In the United States there was a growing recognition that

cumulative exposure may exceed some of the guidelines. " By guidelines,

he is referring to guidelines for mercury exposure safety levels set

by several regulatory agencies. The three guidelines were set by the

ATSDR, the FDA and the EPA. The most consistently violated safety

guideline was that set by the EPA. He further explains that he is

referring to children being exposed to thimerosal in vaccines.

 

Based on this realization that they were violating safety guidelines

he says, this then " resulted in a joint statement of the Public Health

Service (PHS) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in July of

last year (1999), which stated that as a long term goal, it was

desirable to remove mercury from vaccines because it was a potentially

preventable source of exposure. " (Page 12)

 

As an aside, one has to wonder, where was the Public Health Service

and American Academy of Pediatrics during all the years of mercury use

in vaccines and why didn't they know that, number one, they were

exceeding regulatory safety levels and second, why weren't they aware

of the extensive literature showing deleterious effects on the

developing nervous system of babies? As we shall see even these

" experts " seem to be cloudy on the mercury literature.

 

Dr. Bernier notes that in August 1999 a public workshop was held at

Bethesda in the Lister Auditorium by the National Vaccine Advisory

Group and the Interagency Working Group on Vaccines to consider

thimerosal risk in vaccine use. And based on what was discussed in

that conference, thimerosal was removed from the hepatitis B vaccine

(HepB). It is interesting to note that the media took very little

interest in what was learned at that meeting and it may have been a

secret meeting as well. As we shall see, there is a reason why they

struggle to keep the contents of all these meetings secret from the

public.

 

He then notes on page 13 that on October 1999 the Advisory Committee

on Immunization Practices (ACIP) " looked this situation over again and

did not express a preference for any of the vaccines that were

thimerosal free. " In this discussion he further notes that the ACIP

concluded that the thimerosal-containing vaccines could be used but

the " long-term goal " is to try to remove thimerosal as soon as possible.

 

Now, we need to stop and thinks about what has transpired here. We

have an important group here; the ACIP that essential plays a role in

vaccine policy that affects tens of millions of children every year.

And, we have evidence from the Thimerosal meeting in 1999 that the

potential for serious injury to the infant's brain is so serious that

a recommendation for removal becomes policy. In addition, they are all

fully aware that tiny babies are receiving mercury doses that exceed

even EPA safety limits, yet all they can say is that we must " try to

remove thimerosal as soon as possible " . Do they not worry about the

tens of millions of babies that will continue receiving

thimerosal-containing vaccines until they can get around to stopping

the use of thimerosal?

 

It should also be noted that it is a misnomer to say " removal of

thimerosal " since they are not removing anything. They just plan to

stop adding it to future vaccines once they use up existing stocks,

which entails millions of doses. And, incredibly, the government

allows them to do it. Even more incredibly, the American Academy of

Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Practice similarly

endorse this insane policy. In fact, they specifically state that

children should continue to receive the thimerosal-containing vaccines

until new thimerosal-free vaccine can be manufactured at the will of

the manufacturers. Are they afraid that there will be a sudden

diphtheria epidemic in America or tetanus epidemic?

 

The most obvious solution was to use only single-dose vials, which

requires no preservative. So, why don't they use them? Oh, they

exclaim, it would add to the cost of the vaccine. Of course, we are

only talking about a few dollars per vaccine at most, certainly worth

the health of your child's brain and future. They could use some of

the hundreds of millions of dollars they waste on vaccine promotion

every year to cover these cost for the poor. Then, that would cut into

some fat-cat's budget and we can't have that.

 

It was disclosed that thimerosal was in all influenza vaccines, DPT

(and most DtaP) vaccines and all HepB vaccines.

 

As they begin to concentrate on the problem at hand we first begin to

learn that the greatest problem with the meeting is that, they know

virtually nothing about what they are doing. On page 15, for example,

they admit that there is very little pharmacokinetic data on

ethylmercury, the form of mercury in thimerosal. In fact they say

there is no data on excretion, the data on toxicity is sparse, yet it

is recognized to cause hypersensitivity, it can cause neurological

problems and even death, and it is known to easily pass the

blood-brain barrier and the placental barrier.

 

Therefore, what they are admitting is that we have a form of mercury

that has been used in vaccines since the 1930s and no one has bothered

to study the effects on biological systems, especially the brain of

infants. Their defense throughout this conference is " we just don't

know the effects of ethylmercury. " As a solution, they resort to

studies on methylmercury, because there are thousands of studies on

this form of mercury. The major source of this form is seafood

consumption.

 

It takes them awhile to get the two forms of mercury straight, since

for several pages of the report they say methylmercury is in

thimerosal rather than ethylmercury. They can be forgiven for this. On

page 16, Dr. Johnson, an immunologist and pediatrician at the

University of Colorado School of Medicine and the National Jewish

Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, notes that he would

like to see the incorporation of wide margins of safety, that is 3 to

10-fold margins of safety to " account for data uncertainties. " What he

means is that there are so many things we do not know about this toxin

that we had better use very wide margins of safety. For most

substances the FDA uses a 100-fold margin of safety.

 

The reason for this, which they do not mention, is that in a society

of hundreds of millions of people there are groups of people who are

much more sensitive to the toxin than others. For instance, the

elderly, the chronically ill, the nutritionally deficient, small

babies, premature babies, those on certain medications and inborn

defects in detoxification, just to name a few. In fact, in this study

they excluded premature babies and low birth weight babies from the

main study, some of which had the highest mercury levels, because they

would be hard to study and because they had the most developmental

problems related to the mercury.

 

On page 16 as well Dr. Johnson make an incredible statement, one that

defines the problem we have in this country with the promoters of

these vaccines. He states, " As an aside, we found a cultural

difference between vaccinologist and environmental health people in

that many of us in the vaccine arena have never thought about

uncertainty factors before. We tend to be relatively concrete in our

thinking. " Then he says, " One of the big cultural events in that

meeting ---was when Dr. Clarkson repetitively pointed out to us that

we just didn't get it about uncertainty, and he was actually quite

right. " This is an incredible admission. First, what is a

vaccinologist? Do you go to school to learn to be one? How many years

of residency training are required to be a vaccinologist? Are there

board exams? It's a stupid term used to describe people who are

obsessed with vaccines, not that they actually study the effects of

the vaccines, as we shall see throughout this meeting. Most important

is the admission by Dr. Johnson that he and his fellow " vaccinologist "

are so blinded by their obsession with forcing vaccines on society

that they never even considered that there might be factors involved

that could greatly affect human health, the so-called " uncertainties. "

Further, that he and his fellow " vaccinologist " like to think in

concrete terms-that is, they are very narrow in their thinking and

wear blinders that prevent them from seeing the numerous problems

occurring with large numbers of vaccination in infants and children.

Their goal in life is to vaccinate as many people as possible with an

ever-growing number of vaccines.

 

On page 17 his " concrete thinking " once again takes over. He refers to

the Bethesda meeting on Thimerosal safety issues and says, " there was

no evidence of a problem, only a theoretical concern that young

infants' developing brains were being exposed to an organomercurial. "

Of course, as I shall point out later, it is a lot more than a

" theoretical concern " . He then continues by saying, " We agree that

while there was no evidence of a problem the increasing number of

vaccine injections given to infants was increasing the theoretical

mercury exposure risk. "

 

It's hard to conceive of a true scientist not seeing the incredible

irony of these statements. The medical literature is abound with

studies on the deleterious effects of mercury on numerous enzymes,

mitochondrial energy production, synaptic function, dendritic

retraction, neurotubule dissolution and excitotoxicity, yet, he sees

only a " theoretical risk " associated with an ever increasing addition

of thimerosal-containing vaccines. It is also important to note that

these geniuses never even saw a problem in the first place, it was

pressure from outside scientists, parents of affected children and

groups representing them that pointed out the problem. They were, in

essence, reacting to pressure from outside the " vaccinologist club "

and not discovering internally that a problem " might " exist.

 

In fact, if these outside groups had not become involved these

" vaccinologists " would have continued to add more and more

mercury-containing vaccines to the list of required vaccines. Only

when the problem became so obvious, that is of epidemic proportion

(close to that now) and the legal profession became involved would

they have even noticed there was a problem. This is a recurring theme

in the government's regulatory agencies, as witnessed with fluoride,

aspartame, MSG, dioxin and pesticides issues.

 

It is also interesting that Dr. Johnson did admit that the greatest

risk was among low birth weight infants and premature infants. Now why

would that be if there existed such a large margin of safety with

mercury used in vaccines? Could just a few pounds of body weight make

such a dramatic difference? In fact, it does but it also means that

normal birth weight children, especially those near the low range of

normal birth weight, are also in greater danger. It also would mean

that children receiving doses of mercury higher than the 72 ug in this

study would be at high risk as well because their dose, based on body

weight, would be comparable to that of the low birth weight child

receiving the lower dose. This is never even considered by these

" vaccinologist experts " who decide policy for your children.

 

Now this next statement should shock everyone, but especially the poor

who in any way think that these " vaccinologists " experts have their

best interest in mind. Dr. Johnson says on page 17, " We agree that it

would be desirable to remove mercury from U.S. licensed vaccines, but

we did not agree that this was a universal recommendation that we

would make because of the issue concerning preservatives for

delivering vaccines to other countries, particularly developing

countries, in the absence of hard data that implied that there was in

fact a problem. "

 

So, here you have it. The data is convincing enough that the American

Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Practice, as

well as the regulatory agencies and the CDC along with these

organization all recommend its removal as quickly as possible because

of concerns of adverse effects of mercury on brain development, but

not for the children in the developing countries. I thought the whole

idea of child health programs in the United States directed toward the

developing world was to give poor children a better chance in an

increasingly competitive world. This policy being advocated would

increase the neurodevelopmental problems seen in poor children (also

in this country) of developing countries, impairing their ability to

learn and develop competitive minds. Remember, there was a

representative of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. John

Clements, serving on this panel of " experts " . He never challenged this

statement made by Dr. Johnson.

 

It also needs to be appreciated that children in developing countries

are at a much greater risk of complications from vaccinations and from

mercury toxicity than children in developed countries. This is because

of poor nutrition, concomitant parasitic and bacterial infections and

a high incidence of low birth weight in these children. We are now

witnessing a disaster in African countries caused by the use of older

live virus polio vaccines that has now produced an epidemic of vaccine

related polio, that is, polio caused by the vaccine itself. In, fact,

in some African countries, polio was not seen until the vaccine was

introduced.

 

The WHO and the " vaccinologist experts " from this country now justify

a continued polio vaccination program with this dangerous vaccine on

the basis that now that they have created the epidemic of polio, they

cannot stop the program. In a recent article it was pointed out that

this is the most deranged reasoning, since more vaccines will mean

more vaccine-related cases of polio. But then, " vaccinologist " have

difficulty with these " uncertainties " . (Jacob JT. A developing country

perspective on vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis. Bulletin

WHO 2004; 82: 53-58. See commentary by D.M. Salisbury at the end of

the article.)

 

Then he again emphasizes the philosophy that the health of children is

secondary to " the program " when he says, " We saw some compelling data

that delaying the birth dose of HepB vaccine would lead to significant

disease burden as a consequence of missed opportunity to immunize. "

This implies that our children would be endangered from the risk of

hepatitis B should the vaccine program stop vaccinating newborns with

the HepB vaccine.

 

In fact, this statement is not based on any risk to U.S. children at

all and he makes that plain when he states, " that the potential impact

on countries that have 10% to 15% newborn hepatitis B exposure risk

was very distressing to consider. " (page 18) In other words the risk

is not to normal U.S. children but to children in developing

countries. In fact, hepatitis B is not a risk until the teenage years

and after in this country. The only at-risk group among children is

with children born to drug using parents; mothers infected with

hepatitis B or HIV infected parents. The reason for vaccinating the

newborns is to capture them before they can escape the

" vaccinologist's " vaccine program.

 

This is a tactic often used to scare mothers into having their

children vaccinated. For example, they say that if children are not

vaccinated against measles millions of children could die during a

measles epidemic. They know this is nonsense. What they are using is

examples taken from developing countries with poor nutrition and poor

immune function in which such epidemic death can occur. In the United

States we would not see this because of better nutrition, better

health facilities and better sanitation. In fact, most deaths seen

when measles outbreaks occur in the United States occur either in

children in which vaccination was contraindicated, the vaccine did not

work or in children with chronic, immune-suppressing diseases.

 

In fact, in most studies these children catching the measles or other

childhood diseases have been either fully immunized or partially

immunized. The big secret among " vaccinologists " is that anywhere from

20 to 50% of children are not resistant to the diseases for which they

have been immunized.

 

Also on page 18, Dr. Johnson tells the committee that it was Dr. Walt

Orenstein who " asked the most provocative question which introduced a

great deal of discussion. That was, should we try to seek

neurodevelopmental outcomes fro children exposed to varying doses of

mercury by utilizing the Vaccine Safety Datalink data from one or more

sites. " (page 18)

 

I take from this no one had ever even thought of looking at the data

that had just been sitting there all these years un-reviewed. Children

could have been dropping like flies or suffering from terrible

neurodevelopmental defects caused by the vaccine program and no one in

the government would have known. In fact, that is exactly what the

data suggested was happening, at least as regards neurodevelopmental

delays.

 

We should also appreciate that the government sponsored two

conferences on the possible role of metals, aluminum and mercury,

being use in vaccines without any change in vaccine policy occurring

after the meetings. These meetings were held a year before this

meeting and before any examination of the data which was being held

tightly by the CDC, (which was denied to other independent, highly

qualified researchers). I will talk more about what was discussed in

the aluminum conference later. It is very important and is only

briefly referred to in this conference for a very good reason. If the

public knew what was discussed at the aluminum meeting no one would

ever get a vaccination using the presently manufactured types of

vaccines again.

 

Despite what was discussed in the aluminum meeting and the scientific

literature on the neurotoxicity of aluminum, Dr. Johnson makes the

following remark; " Aluminum salts have a very wide margin of safety.

Aluminum and mercury are often simultaneously administered to infants,

both at the same site and at different sites. " Also on page 20, he

states, " However, we also learned that there is absolutely no data,

including animal data, about the potential for synergy, additively or

antagonism, all of which can occur in binary metal mixtures... "

 

It is important her to appreciate a frequently used deception by those

who are trying to defend an indefensible practice. They use the very

same language just quoted, that is, that there is no data to show,

etc, etc. They intend it to convey the idea that the issue has been

looked at and studied thoroughly and no toxicity was found. In truth,

it means that no one has looked at this possibility and there have

been no studies that would give us an answer one way or the other.

 

In fact, we know that aluminum is a significant neurotoxin and that it

shares many common mechanisms with mercury as a neurotoxin. For

example, they are both toxic to neuronal neurotubules, interfere with

antioxidant enzymes, poison DNA repair enzymes, interfere with

mitochondrial energy production, block the glutamate reuptake proteins

(GLT-1 and GLAST), bind to DNA, and interfere with neuronal membrane

function. Toxins that share toxic mechanisms are almost always

additive and frequently synergistic in their toxicity. So, Dr.

Johnson's statement is sheer nonsense.

 

A significant number of studies have shown that both of these metals

play a significant role in all of the neurodegenerative disorders. It

is also important to remember, both of these metals accumulate in the

brain and spinal cord. This makes them accumulative toxins and

therefore much more dangerous than rapidly excreted toxins.

 

To jump ahead, on page 23 Dr, Tom Sinks, Associate Director for

Science at the National Center for Environmental Health at the CDC and

the Acting Division Director for Division of Birth Defects,

Developmental Disabilities and Health, ask, " I wonder is there a

particular health outcome that is related to aluminum salts that may

have anything that we are looking at today? " Dr. Martin Meyers, Acting of the National Vaccine Program Office, answers, " No, I don't

believe there are any particular health concerns that was raised. "

This is after an aluminum conference held the previous year that did

indeed find significant health concerns and an extensive scientific

literature showing aluminum to be of great concern.

 

On page 24 Dr. William Weil, a pediatrician representing the Committee

on Environmental Health of the American Academy of Pediatrics, brings

some sense to the discussion by reminding them that, " there are just a

host of neurodevelopmental data that would suggest that we've got a

serious problem. The earlier we go, the more serious the problem. "

Here he means that the further back you go during the child's brain

development, the more likely the damage to the infant. I must give him

credit; at least he briefly recognized that a significant amount of

brain development does take place later. He also reminds his collogues

that aluminum produced severe dementia and death in dialysis cases. He

concludes by saying, " To think there isn't some possible problem here

is unreal. " (page 25)

 

Not to let it end there, Dr. Meyers adds, " We held the aluminum

meeting in conjunction with the metal ions in biology and medicine

meeting, we were quick to point out that in the absence of data we

didn't know about additive or inhibitory activities. " Once again we

see the " no data " ploy. There is abundant data on the deleterious

effects of aluminum on the brain, a significant portion of which came

out in that very meeting.

 

Dr. Johnson also quotes Dr. Thomas Clarkson, who identifies himself as

associated with the mercury program at the University of Rochester, as

saying that delaying the HepB vaccine for 6 months or so would not

affect the mercury burden. (page 20). He makes the correct conclusion

when he says, " I would have thought that the difference was in the

timing. That is you are protecting the first six months of the

developing central nervous system. "

 

Hallelujah, for a brief moment I thought that they had stumbled on one

of the most basic concepts in neurotoxicology. Then Dr. Meyers dashed

my hopes by saying that single, separated doses would not affect blood

levels at all. At this juncture, we need a little enlightenment. It is

important to appreciate that mercury is a fat soluble metal. That is,

it is stored in the body's fat. The brain contains 60% fat and

therefore is a common site for mercury storage. Now, they establish in

this discussion that about half of methylmercury is excreted over

several months when ingested. A recent study found that ethylmercury

has a half-life of 7 days.

 

Even so, a significant proportion of the mercury will enter the brain

(it has been shown to easily pass through the blood-brain barrier)

where it is stored in the phospholipids (fats). With each new dose,

and remember these children are receiving as many as 22 doses of these

vaccines, another increment is added to the brain storage depot. This

is why we call mercury an accumulative poison. They never once, not

once, mention this vital fact throughout the entire conference. Not

once. Moreover, they do so for a good reason, it gives the unwary,

those not trained in neuroscience, assurance that all that matters

here is blood levels.

 

In fact, on page 163, Dr. Robert Brent, A developmental biologist and

pediatrician at the Thomas Jefferson University and Dupont Hospital

for Children, says that we don't have data showing accumulation and

" that with the multiple exposures you get an increasing level, and we

don't know whether that is true or not. " He redeems himself somewhat

by pointing out that some of the damage is irreversible and with each

dose more irreversible damage occurs and in that way it is accumulative.

 

On page 21 Dr. Thomas Clarkson makes the incredible statement implying

that he knows of no studies that shows exposure to mercury after birth

or at six months would have deleterious effects. Dr. Isabelle Rapin, a

neurologist for children at Albert Einstein College of Medicine,

follows up by saying that " I am not an expert on mercury in infancy "

but she knows it can affect the nerves (peripheral nervous system).

So, here is one of our experts admitting that she knows little about

the effects of mercury on the infant. My question is-Why is she here?

Dr. Rapin is a neurologist for children at Albert Einstein College of

Medicine who stated that she has a keen interest in developmental

disorders, in particular those involving language and autism, yet she

knows little about the effects on mercury on the infant brain.

 

This conference is concerned with the effects of mercury in the form

of thimerosal on infant brain development, yet throughout this

conference our experts, especially the " vaccinologists " seem to know

little about mercury except limited literature that shows no toxic

effects except at very high levels. None of the well known experts

were invited, such as Dr. Ascher from Bowman Grey School of Medicine

or Dr. Haley Boyd, who has done extensive work on the toxic effects of

low concentrations on the CNS. They were not invited because they

would be harmful to the true objective of this meeting, and that was

to exonerate mercury in vaccines.

 

Several times throughout this conference, Dr. Brent reminds everyone

that the most sensitive period for the developing brain is during the

early stages of pregnancy. In fact, he pinpoints the 8th to 18th week

as the period of neuromaturation. In fact, the most rapid period of

brain maturation, synaptic development and brain pathway development

is during the last three months of pregnancy continuing until two

years after birth. This is often referred to as the " brain growth

spurt. " This is also not mentioned once in this conference, again

because if mothers knew that their child's brain was busy developing

for up to two years after birth they would be less likely to accept

this safety of mercury nonsense these " vaccinologists " proclaim.

 

The brain develops over 100 trillion synaptic connections and tens of

trillions of dendritic connections during this highly sensitive

period. Both dendrites and synapses are very sensitive, even to very

low doses of mercury and other toxins. It has also been shown that

subtoxic doses of mercury can block the glutamate transport proteins

that play such a vital role in protecting the brain against

excitotoxicity. Compelling studies indicate that damage to this

protective system plays a major role in most of the neurodegenerative

diseases and abnormal brain development as well.

 

Recent studies have shown that glutamate accumulates in the brains of

autistic children, yet these experts seem to be unconcerned about a

substance (mercury) that is very powerful in triggering brain

excitotoxicity.

 

It is also interesting to see how many times Dr. Brent emphasizes that

we do not know the threshold for mercury toxicity for the developing

brain. Again, that is not true-we do know and the Journal of

Neurotoxicology states that anything above 10ug is neurotoxic. The WHO

in fact states that there is no safe level of mercury.

 

On page 164 Dr. Robert Davis, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and

Epidemiology at the University of Washington, makes a very important

observation. He points out that in a population like the United States

you have individuals with varying levels of mercury from other causes

(diet, living near coal burning facilities, etc.) and by vaccinating

everyone you raise those with the highest levels even higher and bring

those with median levels into a category of higher levels. The

" vaccinologists " with their problem of " concrete thinking " cannot seem

to appreciate the fact that not everyone is the same. That is, they

fail to see these " uncertainties " .

 

To further emphasize this point lets take a farming family who lives

within three miles of a coal-burning electrical plant. Since they also

live near the ocean they eat seafood daily. The fertilizers,

pesticides and herbicides used on the crops contain appreciable levels

of mercury. The coal-burning electrical plant emits high levels of

mercury in the air they breathe daily and the seafood they consume has

levels of mercury higher than EPA safety standards. This means that

any babies born to these people will have very high mercury levels.

 

Once born, they are given numerous vaccines containing even more

mercury, thereby adding significantly to their already high mercury

burden. Are these " vaccinologists " trying to convince us that these

children don't matter and that they are to be sacrificed at the alter

of the " vaccine policy " ?

 

Recent studies by neurotoxicologists have observed that as our ability

to detect subtle toxic effects improves, especially on behavior and

other neurological functions, we lower the level of acceptable

exposure. In fact, Dr, Sinks brings up that exact point, using lead as

an example. He notes that as our neurobehavioral testing improved, we

lowered the acceptable dose considerably and continues to do so. Dr.

Johnson had the audacity to add, " The smarter we get, the lower the

threshold. " Yet, neither he, nor the other participants seem to be

getting any smarter concerning this issue.

 

Dr. Robert Chen, Chief of Vaccine Safety and Development at the

National Immunization Program at the CDC, then reveals why they refuse

to act on this issue, he says, " the issue is that it is impossible,

unethical to leave kids unimmunized, so you will never, ever resolve

that issue. So then we have to refer back from that. " (page 169) In

essence, immunization of the kids takes precedence over safety

concerns with the vaccines themselves. If the problem of vaccine

toxicity cannot be solved, he seems to be saying, then we must accept

that some kids will be harmed by the vaccines.

 

Dr. Brent makes the statement that he knows of no known genetic

susceptibility data on mercury and therefore assumes there is a fixed

threshold of toxicity. That is, that everyone is susceptible to the

same dose of mercury and there are no genetically hypersensitive

groups of people. In fact, a recent study found just such a genetic

susceptibility in mice. In this study they found that mice susceptible

to autoimmunity developed neurotoxic effects to their hippocampus,

including excitotoxicity, not seen in other strains of mice. They even

hypothesize that the same may be true in humans, since familial

autoimmunity increases the likelihood of autism in offspring. (Hornig

M, Chian D, Lipkin WI. Neurotoxic effects of postnatal thimerosal are

mouse strain dependent. Mol Psychiatry 2004; (in press).

 

For the next quotation you need a little discussion to be able to

appreciate the meaning. They are discussing the fact that in Dr.

Verstraeten study frightening correlations were found between the

higher doses of thimerosal and problems with neurodevelopment,

including ADD and autism. The problem with the study was that there

were so few children who had received no thimerosal-containing

vaccines that a true control group could not be used. Instead they had

to use children getting 12.5ug of mercury as the control and some even

wanted to use the control dose as 37.5ug. So the controls had mercury

levels that could indeed cause neurodevelopmental problems. Even with

this basic flaw, a strong positive correlation was found between the

dose of mercury given and these neurodevelopmental problems.

 

It was proposed that they compare a group of children receiving

non-thimerosal vaccines to those who had. In fact, we later lean that

they had a large group of children who could have been used as a

thimerosal-free control. It seems that for two years before this

conference the Bethesda Naval Hospital had been using only

thimerosal-free vaccines to immunize the children. They knew this and

I would assume someone would have told Dr. Verstraeten of this

important fact before he did his study.

 

So, now to the quote. Dr. Braun responds to the idea of starting a new

study using such thimerosal-free controls by saying, " Sure we will

have the answer in five years. The question is what can we do now with

the data we have? " (page 170). Well, we have the answer to that, they

simply covered this study up, declare that thimerosal is of no concern

and continue the unaltered policy. That is, they can suggest the

pharmaceutical manufacturers of vaccines remove the thimerosal but not

making it mandatory or examining the vaccine to make sure they have

removed it.

 

Lets us take a small peak at just how much we can trust the

pharmaceutical manufacturers to do the right thing. Several reports of

major violations of vaccine manufacturing policy have been cited by

the regulatory agencies have surfaced. This includes obtaining plasma

donations without taking adequate histories on donors as to disease

exposures and previous health problems, poor record keeping on these

donors, improper procedures and improper handing of specimens.

 

That these are not minor violations is emphasized by the discovery

that a woman with variant Mad Cow Disease was allowed to given plasma

to be used in vaccines in England. In fact, it was learned only after

the contaminated plasma was pooled and used to make millions of doses

of vaccines that her disease was discovered. British health officials

told the millions of vaccinated not to worry, since we have no idea if

it will really spread the disease.

 

Contamination of vaccines is a major concern in this country as well,

as these regulatory violations make plain. It is also important to

note that no fines were given, just warnings.

 

Conclusions By The Study Group

 

At the end of the conference, a poll was taken asking two questions.

One was do you think that there is sufficient data to make a causal

connection between the use of thimerosal-containing vaccines and

neurodevelopmental delays? Second, do you think further study is

called for based on this study?

 

First, let us see some of the comments on the question of doing

further studies. Dr. Paul Stehr-Green, Associate Professor of

Epidemiology at the University of Washington School of Public Health

and Community Medicine, who voted yes, gave as his reason, " The

implications are so profound these should be examined further. " (page

180) Meanwhile, Dr. Brent interjects his concern that the lawyers will

get hold of this information and begin filing lawsuits. He says, " They

want business and this could potentially be a lot of business. " (Page 191)

 

Dr. Loren Koller, Pathologist and Immunotoxicologist at the College of

Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, is to be congratulated

in that he recognized that more is involved in the vaccine effects

than just ethylmercury. (page 192). He mentions aluminum and even the

viral agents beings used as other possibilities. This is especially

important in the face of Dr. RK Gherardi's identification of

macrophagic myofascitis, a condition causing profound weakness and

multiple neurological syndromes, one of which closely resembled

multiple sclerosis. Both human studies and animal studies have shown a

strong causal relationship to the aluminum hydroxide or aluminum

phosphate used as a vaccine adjuvants. More than 200 cases have been

identified in European countries and the United States and has been

described as an " emerging condition " .

 

Here are some of the neurological problems seen with the use of

aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate in vaccines. In two children

aged 3 and 5, doctors at the All Children's Hospital in St.

Petersburg, Florida described chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction,

urinary retention and other findings indicative of a generalized loss

of autonomic nervous system function (diffuse dysautonomia). The

3-year old had developmental delay and hypotonia (loss of muscle

tone). A biopsy of the children's vaccine injection site disclosed

elevated aluminum levels.

 

In a study of some 92 patients suffering from this emerging syndrome,

eight developed a full-blown demyelinating CNS disorder (multiple

sclerosis). [Authier FJ, Cherin P, et al. Central nervous system

disease in patients with macrophagic myofasciitis. Brain 2001; 124:

974-983. ] This included sensory and motor symptoms, visual loss,

bladder dysfunction, cerebellar signs (loss of balance and

coordination) and cognitive (thinking) and behavioral disorders.

 

Dr. Gherardi, the French physician who first described the condition

in 1998, has collected over 200 proven cases, One third of these

develop an autoimmune disease, such as multiple sclerosis. Of critical

importance is his finding that even in the absence of obvious

autoimmune disease there is evidence of chronic immune stimulation

caused by the injected aluminum, known to be a very powerful immune

adjuvant.

 

The reason this is so important is that there is overwhelming evidence

that chronic immune activation in the brain (activation of microglial

cells in the brain) is a major cause of damage in numerous

degenerative brain disorders, from multiple sclerosis to the classic

neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's and ALS).

In fact, I have presented evidence that chronic immune activation of

CNS microglia is a major cause of autism, attention deficit disorder

and Gulf War Syndrome.

 

Dr. Gherardi emphasizes that once the aluminum is injected into the

muscle, the immune activation persists for years. In addition, we must

consider the effect of the aluminum that travels to the brain itself.

Numerous studies have shown harmful effects when aluminum accumulates

in the brain. A growing amount of evidence points to high brain

aluminum levels as a major contributor to Alzheimer's disease and

possibly Parkinson's disease and ALS (Lou Geherig's disease). This may

also explain the 10X increase in Alzheimer's disease in those

receiving the flu vaccine 5 years in a row. (Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, in

press, Journal of Clinical Investigation). It is also interesting to

note that a recent study found that aluminum phosphate produced 3X the

blood level of aluminum, as did aluminum hydroxide. (Flarend RE, hem

SL, et al. In vivo absorption of aluminum-containing vaccine adjuvants

using 26 Al. Vaccine 1997; 15: 1314-1318.)

 

Of course, in this conference, our illustrious experts tell us that

there is " no data showing an additive or synergistic effect between

mercury and aluminum. "

 

Dr. Rapin expressed her concern over public opinion when this

information eventually gets out. She says (page 197), they are going

to be captured by the public and we had better make sure that a) " We

council them carefully and b) that we pursue this because of the very

important public health and public implications of the data. " Dr.

Johnson adds. " the stakes are very high... " . From this how can one

conclude anything than the fact that at least these scientists were

extremely concerned by what was discovered by this study examining the

vaccine safety datalink material? They were obviously terrified that

the information would leak out to the public. Stamped in bold letters

at the top of each page of the study was the words- " DO NOT COPY OR

RELEASE " and " CONFIDENTIAL. "

 

This is not the wording one would expect on a clinical study of

vaccine safety; rather you would expect it on top-secret NSA or CIA

files. Why was this information being secreted? The answer is

obvious-it might endanger the vaccine program and indict the federal

regulatory agencies for ignoring this danger for so many years. Our

society is littered with millions of children who have been harmed in

one degree or another by this vaccine policy. In addition, let us not

forget the millions of parents who have had to watch helplessly as

their children have been destroyed by this devastating vaccine program.

 

Dr. Bernier on page 198 says, " the negative findings need to be pinned

down and published. " Why was he so insistent that the " negative

findings " be published? Because he said, " other less responsible

parties will treat this as a signal. " By that he means, a signal of a

problem with thimerosal-containing vaccines. From this, I assume he

wants a paper that says only that nothing was found by the study. As

we shall see, he gets his wish.

 

In addition, on page 198, Dr. Rapin notes that a study in California

found a 300X increase in autism following the introduction of certain

vaccines. She quickly attributes this to better physician recognition.

Two things are critical to note at this point. She makes this

assertion or better physician recognition without any data at all,

just her wishful thinking. If someone pointing out the dangers of

vaccines were to do that, she would scream " junk science. "

 

Second, Dr. Weil on page 207, attacks this reasoning when he says,

" the number of dose related relationships are linear and statistically

significant. You can play with this all you want. They are linear.

They are statistically significant. " In other words, how can you argue

with results that show a strong dose/response relationship between the

dose of mercury and neurodevelopmental outcomes? The higher the

mercury levels in the children the greater the number of neurological

problems.

 

He continues by saying that the increase in neurobehavioral problems

is probably real. He tells them that he works in a school system with

special education programs and " I have to say the number of kids

getting help in special education is growing nationally and state by

state at a rate not seen before. So there is some kind of increase. We

can argue about what it is due to. " (page 207)

 

Dr. Johnson seems to be impressed by the findings as well. He says on

page 199, " This association leads me to favor a recommendation that

infants up to two years old not be immunized with thimerosal

containing vaccines if suitable alternative preparations are

available. " In credibly, he quickly adds " I do not believe the

diagnosis justified compensation in the Vaccine Compensation Program

at this point. " It is interesting to note that one of our experts in

attendance is Dr. Vito Caserta, the Chief Officer for the Vaccine

Injury Compensation Program.

 

At this point Dr. Johnson tells the group of his concerns for his own

grandchild. He says, (page 200) " Forgive this personal comment, but I

got called out at eight o'clock for an emergency call and my

daughter-in-law delivered a son by c-section. Our first male in the

line of the next generation and I do not want that grandson to get a

Thimerosal containing vaccine until we know better what is going on.

It will probably take a long time. In the meantime, and I know there

are probably implications for this internationally, but in the

meanwhile I think I want that grandson to only be given

Thimerosal-free vaccines. "

 

So, we have a scientist sitting on this panel which will eventually

make policy concerning all of the children in this country, as well as

other countries, who is terrified about his new grandson getting a

thimerosal-containing vaccine but he is not concerned enough about

your child to speak out and try to stop this insanity. He allows a

cover-up to take place after this meeting adjourns and remains silent.

 

It is also interesting to note that he feels the answers will be a

long time coming, but in the mean time, his grandson will be

protected. The American Academy of Pediatrics, The American Academy of

Family Practice, the AMA, CDC and every other organization will

endorse these vaccines and proclaim them to be safe as spring water,

but Dr, Johnson and some of the others will keep their silence.

 

It is only during the last day of the conference that we learn that

most of the objections concerning the positive relationship between

thimerosal-containing vaccines and ADD and ADHA were bogus. For

example, Dr. Rapin on page 200 notes that all children in the study

were below age 6 and that ADD and ADHD are very difficult to diagnose

in pre-schoolers. She also notes that some children were followed for

only a short period.

 

Dr. Stein adds that in fact the average age for diagnosis of ADHD was

4 years and 1 month. A very difficult diagnosis to make and that the

guidelines published by the American Academy of Pediatrics limits

diagnosis to 6 to 12 year olds. Of course, he was implying that too

many were diagnosed as ADHD. Yet, a recent study found that the famous

Denmark study that led to the announcement by the Institute of

Medicine that there was no relationship between autism and the MMR

vaccine, used the same tactic. They cut off the age of follow-up at

age six.

 

It is known that many cases appear after this age group, especially

with ADD and ADHD. In fact, most learning problems appear as the child

is called on to handle more involved intellectual material. Therefore,

the chances are they failed to diagnose a number of cases by stopping

the study too early.

 

Several of the participants tried to imply that autism was a genetic

disorder and therefore could have nothing to do with vaccines. Dr.

Weil put that to rest with this comment, " We don't see that kind of

genetic change in 30 years. " In other words, how can we suddenly see a

300% increase in a genetically related disorder over such a short

period? It is also known that there are two forms of autism, one that

is apparent at birth and one that develops later in childhood. The

former has not changed in incidence since statistics have been kept;

the other is epidemic.

 

In one interesting exchange, which ends up being their justification

for the view that mercury is of no danger in children vaccinated with

vaccines containing thimerosal, involves two studies in children born

to mothers consuming high intakes of mercury contaminated fish. One

study reported in the journal Neurotoxicology, examined children

living in the Republic of Seychelles. In this study, they examined the

effect of prenatal exposure to mercury through the mother's

consumption of fish high in methylmercury.

 

A battery of developmental milestone tests were done and no adverse

effects were reported in the study reported by Dr. Clarkson and

co-workers, the very same person in this conference. He never mentions

that a follow-up study of these same children did find a positive

correlation between methylmercury exposure and poor performance on a

memory test. In a subsequent study of children living on the Faroe

Islands exposed to methylmercury, researchers did find impairments of

neurodevelopment. This experiment was done by scientist from Japan.

 

Throughout the remainder of this discussion, Dr. Clarkson and others

refer to these two studies. When they are reminded that the Faroe

study did find neurological injury to the children, they counter by

saying that this was prenatal exposure to mercury and not after birth

as would be seen with vaccination. The idea being that prenatally the

brain is undergoing neural formation and development making it more

vulnerable. As I have mentioned this rapid brain growth and

development continues for two years after birth and even at age 6

years the brain is only 80% formed.

 

Dr. Clarkson keeps referring to the Seychelles study, which

demonstrated that the children reached normal neurodevelopmental

milestones as shown by a number of tests. Dr Weil points out on page

216 that this tells us little about these children's future brain

function. He says, " I have taken a lot of histories of kids who are in

trouble in school. The history is that developmental milestones were

normal or advanced and they can't read at second grade, they can't

write at third grade, they can't do math in the fourth grade and it

has no relationship as far as I can tell to the history we get of the

developmental milestones. So I think this is a very crude measure of

neurodevelopment. "

 

In other words, both of these studies tell us nothing about the actual

development of these children's brain function except that they

reached the most basic of milestones. To put this another way, your

child may be able to stack blocks, recognize shapes and have basic

language skills but later in life they could be significantly impaired

when it came to higher math, more advanced language skills

(comprehension) and ability to compete in a very competitive

intellectual environment, like college or advanced schooling. Their

future would be limited to the more mundane and intellectually limited

jobs.

 

Post-natal brain development, that is from birth to age six or seven,

involves the fine tuning of synaptic connections, dendritic

development and pathway refinement, all of which prepare the brain for

more complex thinking. These brain elements are very sensitive to

toxins and excessive immune stimulation during this period. This is

never mentioned in this conference.

 

In addition, it must be remembered that the children in these two

studies were exposed only to methylmercury and not the combined

neurotoxic effect of mercury, aluminum and excessive and chronic

activation of the brain's immune system (microgia). This is what makes

it so incredible, that several of these " vaccinologists " and so-called

experts would express doubt about the " biological plausibility " of

thimerosal or any vaccine component causing neurodevelopmental

problems. The medical literature is exploding with such studies. The

biological plausibility is very powerful.

 

Mercury, for example, even in low concentrations, is known to impair

energy production by mitochondrial enzymes. The brain has one of the

highest metabolic rates of any organ and impairment of its energy

supply, especially during development, can have devastating

consequences. In addition, mercury, even o\in lower concentrations, is

known to damage DNA and impair DNA repair enzymes, which again, plays

a vital role in brain development. Mercury is known to impair

neurotubule stability, even in very low concentrations. Neurotubules

are absolutely essential to normal brain cell function. Mercury

activates microglial cells, which increases excitotoxicity and brain

free radical production as well as lipid peroxidation, central

mechanisms in brain injury. In addition, even in doses below that

which can cause obvious cell injury, mercury impairs the glutamate

transport system, which in turn triggers excitotoxicity, a central

mechanism in autism and other neurological disorders. Ironically,

aluminum also paralyzes this system.

 

On page 228, we see another admission that the government has had no

interest in demonstrating the safety of thimerosal-containing vaccines

despite over 2000 articles showing harmful effects of mercury. Here we

see a reference to the fact that the FDA " has a wonderful facility in

Arkansas with hundreds of thousands of animals " available for any

study needed to supply these answers on safety. The big question to be

asked is -So, why has the government ignored the need for research to

answer these questions concerning thimerosal safety. You will recall

in the beginning the participants of this conference complained that

there were just so few studies or no studies concerning this " problem. "

 

Again, on page 229 Dr, Brent rails about the lawsuit problem. He tells

the others that he has been involved in three lawsuits related to

vaccine injuries leading to birth defects and concluded " If you want

to see junk science, look at those cases... " . He then complains about

the type of scientists testifying in these cases. He adds, " But the

fact is those scientist are out there in the United States. " In

essence, he labels anyone who opposes the " official policy " on

vaccines as a junk scientist. We have seen in the discussion who the

" junk scientists " really are.

 

Knowing that what they have found can cause them a great deal of

problems he adds, " The medical/legal findings in this study, causal or

not, are horrendous...If an allegation was made that a child's

neurobehavioral findings were caused by thimerosal-containing

vaccines, you could readily fins a junk scientist who will support the

claim with a reasonable degree of certainty. " On page 229 he then

admits that they are in a bad position because they have no data for

their defense. Now, who are the junk scientists?

 

Is a " real scientist " one who has no data, just wishful thinking and a

" feeling " that everything will be all right? Are real scientists the

ones who omit recognized experts on the problem in question during a

conference because it might endanger the " program " ? Or are they the

ones who make statements that they don't want their grandson to get

thimerosal-containing vaccines until the problem is worked out, but

then tell millions of parents that the vaccines are perfectly safe for

their children and grandchildren?

 

Dr. Meyers on page 231 put it this way, " My own concern, and a couple

of you said it, there is an association between vaccines and outcomes

that worries both parents and pediatricians. " He sites other possible

connections to vaccine-related neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental

problems including the number of vaccines being given, the types of

antigens being used and other vaccine additives.

 

Dr. Caserta tells the group that he attended the aluminum conference

the previous years and learned that often metals could act differently

in biological systems than as an ion. This is interesting in the face

of the finding that fluoride when combined to aluminum forms a

compound that can destroy numerous hippocampal neurons at a

concentration of 0.5 ppm in drinking water. It seems that aluminum

readily combines with fluoride to form this toxic compound. With over

60% of communities having fluoridated drinking water this becomes a

major concern.

 

It has also been learned that fluroaluminum compounds mimic the

phosphate compound and can activate G-proteins. G-proteins play a

major role in numerous biological systems, including endocrine,

neurotransmitters, and as cellular second messengers. Some of the

glutamate receptors are operated by a G-protein mechanism.

 

Over the next ten to fifteen pages, they discuss how to control this

information so that it will not get out and if it does how to control

the damage. On page 248 Dr. Clements has this to say:

 

 

" But there is now the point at which the research results have to be

handled, and even if this committee decides that there is no

association and that information gets out, the work has been done and

through the freedom of information that will be taken by others and

will be used in other ways beyond the control of this group. And I am

very concerned about that as I suspect that it is already too late to

do anything regardless of any professional body and what they say. "

 

In other words, he wants this information kept not only from the

public but also from other scientists and pediatricians until they can

be properly counseled. In the next statement he spills the beans as to

why he is determined that no outsider get hold of this damaging

information. He says,

 

" My mandate as I sit here in this group is to make sure at the end of

the day that 100,000,000 are immunized with DTP, Hepatitis B and if

possible Hib, this year, next year and for many years to come, and

that will have to be with thimerosal containing vaccines unless a

miracle occurs and an alternative is found quickly and is tried and

found to be safe. "

 

This is one of the most shocking statements I have ever heard. In

essence, he is saying, I don't care if the vaccines are found to be

harmful and destroying the development of children's brains, these

vaccines will be given now and forever. His only concern by his own

admission is to protect the vaccine program even if it is not safe.

Dr. Brent refers to this as an " eloquent statement. "

On page 253, we again see that these scientists have a double standard

when it comes to their children and grandchildren. Dr. Rapin raises

the point about a loss of an IQ point caused by thimerosal exposure.

She says, " Can we measure the IQ that accurately, that this one little

point is relevant? " Then she answers her own question by saying, " Even

in my grandchildren, one IQ point I am going to fight about. " Yet,

they are saying in unison, in essence-TO HELL WITH YOUR CHILDREN- to

the rest of America.

 

It is also interesting that they bring up the history of lead as a

neurobehavioral toxin. Dr. Weil noted that the neurotoxicologists and

regulatory agencies have lowered the acceptable level from 10 to 5 ug.

In fact, some feel that even lower levels are neurotoxic to the

developing brain. Before the toxicologists began to look at lead as a

brain toxin in children most " experts " assumed it was not toxic even

at very high levels. Again, it shows that " experts " can be wrong and

it is the public who pays the price.

 

Dr. Chen on page 256 expresses his concern about this information

reaching the public. He remarks, " We have been privileged so far that

given the sensitivity of information, we have been able to manage to

keep it out of, lets say, less responsible hands... " Dr. Bernier

agrees and notes, " This information has been held fairly tightly. "

Later he calls it " embargoed information " and " very highly protected

information. "

 

That they knew the implications of what they had discovered was

illustrated by Dr. Chen's statement on page 258. He says, " I think

overall there was this aura that we were engaged in something as

important as anything else we have ever done. So I think that this was

another element to this that made this a special meeting. " You may

remember, Dr. Weil emphasized that the data analysis left no doubt

that there was a strong correlation between neurodevelopmental

problems and exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines. So if they

understood the importance of this finding and this was the most

important thing they have ever dealt with-why was this being kept from

the public? In fact, it gets even worse.

 

Just so you will not doubt my statement that this audience of experts

was not objective, I give you the words of Dr. Walter Orenstein, of the National Immunization Program at the CDC, on page 259.

He tells the group, " I have seen him (Verstraeten) in audience after

audience deal with exceedingly skeptical individuals... " " Exceedingly

skeptical individuals " does that sound like objective scientists who

wanted to look at the data with a clear mind or were they scientists

who were convinced before the meeting was held that there was no

danger to children from thimerosal or any other vaccine component?

 

In one of the closing remarks by Dr. Bernier (page 257) says, " the

other thing I was struck by was the science, " meaning the science

expressed by the attendees of the meeting. Then Dr, Orenstein adds, " I

would also like to thank Roger Bernier who pulled off this meeting in

rather short notice... " Here is a meeting that has been called one of

the most important they have ever dealt with and we learn that it was

pulled off on short notice. In addition, we were told that the results

of this meeting would lead to eventual vaccine policy.

 

He then has the nerve to add:

 

 

" In a sense this meeting addresses some of the concerns we had last

summer when we were trying to make policy in the absence of a careful

scientific review. I think this time we have gotten it straight. "

 

Well, I hate to be the one to break the news, but he didn't get it

straight. There was little or no science in this meeting; rather it

was composed of a lot of haggling and nit picking over epidemiological

methodology and statistical minutia in an effort to discredit the data

without success. In fact, the so-called mercury experts admitted they

had to do some quick homework to refresh their memories and learn

something about the subject.

Conclusions

 

This top secret meeting was held to discuss a study done by Dr. Thomas

Verstraeten and his co-workers using Vaccine Safety Datalink data as a

project collaboration between the CDC's National Immunization Program

(NIP) and four HMOs. The study examined the records of 110,000

children. Within the limits of the data, they did a very through study

and found the following:

 

 

Exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines at one month was associated

significantly with the misery and unhappiness disorder that was dose

related. That is, the higher the child's exposure to thimerosal the

higher the incidence of the disorder. This disorder is characterized

by a baby that cries uncontrollably and is fretful more so than that

see in normal babies.

 

Found a nearly significant increased risk of ADD with 12.5ug exposure

at one month.

 

With exposure at 3 months, they found an increasing risk of

neurodevelopmental disorder with increasing exposure to thimerosal.

This was statistically significant. This included speech disorders.

 

It is important to remember that the control group was not children

without thimerosal exposure, but rather those at 12.5ug exposure. This

means that there is a significant likelihood that even more

neurodevelopmental problems would have been seen had they used a real

control population. No one disagreed that these findings were

significant and troubling. Yet when the final study was published in

the journal Pediatrics Dr. Verstraeten and co-workers reported no

consistent associations were found between thimerosal-containing

vaccine exposure and neurodevelopmental problems. In addition, he list

himself as an employee of the CDC, not disclosing the fact that at the

time the article was accepted, he worked for GlaxoSmithKline, a

vaccine manufacturing company.

So how did they do this bit of prestidigitation? They simply added

another HMO to the data, the Harvard Pilgrimage. Congressman Dave

Weldon noted in his letter to the CDC Director that this HMO had been

in receivership by the state of Massachusetts because its records were

in shambles. Yet, this study was able to make the embarrassing data

from his previous study disappear. Attempts by Congressman Weldon to

force the CDC to release the data to an independent researcher, Dr.

Mark Geier, a researcher with impeccable credentials and widely

published in peer-reviewed journals, have failed repeatedly.

 

It is obvious that a massive cover-up is in progress, as we have seen

with so many other scandals-fluoride, food-based excitotoxins,

pesticides, aluminum and now vaccines. I would caution those critical

of the present vaccine policy not to put all their eggs in one basket,

that is, with thimerosal as being the main culprit. There is no

question that it plays a major role, but there are other factors that

are also critical, including aluminum, fluoroaluminum complexes, and

chronic immune activation of brain microglia.

 

In fact, excessive, chronic microglial activation can explain many of

the effects of excessive vaccine exposure as I point out in two

recently published articles. One property of both aluminum and mercury

is microglial activation. With chronic microglial activation large

concentrations of excitotoxins are released as well as neurotoxic

cytokines. These have been shown to destroy synaptic connections,

dendrites and cause abnormal pathway development in the developing

brain as well as adult brain.

 

In essence, too many vaccines are being given to children during the

brain's most rapid growth period. Known toxic metals are beings used

in the vaccines that interfere with brain metabolism, antioxidant

enzymes, damage DNA and DNA repair enzymes and trigger excitotoxicity.

Removing the mercury will help but will not solve the problem because

overactivation of the brain's immune system will cause varying degrees

of neurological damage to the highly-vulnerable developing brain.
