National Autism Advocacy Organizations Converge on Capitol Hill to Demand

Public Hearings

 

New Documents Show CDC Attempts to Hide Vaccine/Autism Connection as Parents

Ask Congress To Investigate or Appoint Independent Commission Washington, DC

 

On April 6, national childrenÂ’s advocacy organizations will gather at the

Capitol, urging Congress to declare autism a national emergency and commence

hearings to examine actions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC) to block removal of mercury from vaccines and undermine state efforts to

ban the known neurotoxin.

 

Parents from around the country will join The Mercury Generation March and

meet with members of Congress to encourage Senate hearings on the CDCÂ’s

possible suppression of safety information. U.S. Representatives Dan Burton

(R-IN) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) will join parents in a press briefing in

Upper Senate Park beginning at 11:00 AM.

 

Leaders from the parent organizations have provided substantial evidence to

Congressional offices regarding thimerosal toxicity and the CDCÂ’s handling of

relevant data.

 

“For over a year, this investigation has been conducted behind closed doors.

 

We have been patiently waiting for action,” said Claire Bothwell, board

chair of the National Autism Association. “It’s time to bring this into the

open where it belongs.

 

If Congress doesnÂ’t respond, parents will mount a campaign for an independent

investigation of the CDCÂ’s internal policies and conflicts of interest that

permitted an entire generation of children to be overexposed to mercury.”

 

Documents obtained earlier this year revealed the CDC declined the opportunity

provided by a vaccine maker to provide mercury-free vaccines in 1999,

prompting parents to ask for a Senate investigation of this notable lack of

response.

 

“The CDC failed to make the safety of children a priority. The Senate has

oversight responsibility in determining the advisability of keeping mercury

in childhood vaccines when the CDC already knew the exposures to children

exceeded safety guidelines,” commented Ms. Bothwell.

 

Last month, members of Congress urged the National Institute of Health Sciences

(NIEHS) to examine the mercury/autism association, commenting, " If the federal

government is going to have a study whose results will be broadly accepted,

such a study cannot be led by the CDC, "

 

“Millions of children were overexposed to mercury by injection, yet the CDC

actively encourages the use of mercury-containing vaccines.

 

Congress has a responsibility to investigate,” said A-CHAMP board member

John Gilmore.

 

“This is far more important than millionaire baseball players using steroids

or a theoretical concern about bird flu that hasnÂ’t affected a single American.

 

Failure to find answers for America’s children is inexcusable and immoral.”
