[Guest guest]

In Washington , Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) has been advocating for

such a survey. Co-sponsored by Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and Rep. Ron

Paul (R-TX), the " Comprehensive Comparative Study of Vaccinated and

Unvaccinated

Population Act of 2006, " or H.R. 2832, was introduced on June 22, and would

require the National Institutes of Health to complete this research.

 

Here are 2 videos to watch on Republican Congressman Ron Paul who is

As the first trial in Vaccine Court explores the relationship between

vaccines and autism, a new survey released today indicates a strong correlation

between rates of neurological disorders, such as ADHD and autism, and childhood

vaccinations.

 

The survey, commissioned by Generation Rescue, compared vaccinated and

unvaccinated children in nine counties in Oregon and California. Among more than

9,000 boys age 4-17, the survey found vaccinated boys were two and a half times

(155%) more likely to have neurological disorders compared to their

unvaccinated peers. Vaccinated boys were 224% more likely to have Attention

Deficit

Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and 61% more likely to have autism.

 

For older vaccinated boys in the 11-17 age bracket, the results were even

more pronounced. Vaccinated boys were 158% more likely to have a neurological

disorder, 317% more likely to have ADHD, and 112% more likely to have autism.

Complete survey results are available at _http://www.Generati onRescue.

Generation Rescue commissioned the phone survey. Data was gathered by

SurveyUSA, a national market research firm, which surveyed parents by phone on

more

than 17,000 children, ages 4-17, in five counties in California (San Diego,

Sonoma, Orange, Sacramento, and Marin) and four counties in Oregon

(Multnomah, Marion, Jackson, and Lane).

 

The survey asked parents whether their child had been vaccinated, and

whether that child had one or more of the following diagnoses: Attention

Deficit

Disorder (ADD), ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, Pervasive Development Disorder --

Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), or Autism. The phone survey was chosen to

mirror the methodology the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) uses to establish

national prevalence for neurological disorders in their national phone survey.

 

Timed to the release of the survey results, Generation Rescue also ran

full-page advertisements in Washington's Roll Call, The Oregonian, and The

Orange

County Register today. The ad compares the 36 pediatric vaccines the CDC

recommends today to the 10 recommended in 1983, and asks, " Are We Over-

Vaccinating Our Kids? "

 

" No one has ever compared prevalence rates of these neurological disorders

between vaccinated and unvaccinated children, " said J.B. Handley, co-founder

of Generation Rescue, whose son was diagnosed with autism. " The phone survey

isn't perfect, but these numbers point to the need for a comprehensive

national study to gather this critical information. "

 

In Washington , Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) has been advocating for

such a survey. Co-sponsored by Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and Rep. Ron Paul

(R-TX), the " Comprehensive Comparative Study of Vaccinated and Unvaccinated

Population Act of 2006, " or H.R. 2832, was introduced on June 22, and would

require the National Institutes of Health to complete this research.

 

" Generation Rescue's study is impressive and forcefully raises some serious

questions about the relationship between vaccines and autism. What is

ultimately needed to resolve this issue one way or the other is a comprehensive

national study of vaccinated and unvaccinated children, " said Congresswoman

Maloney. " The parents behind Generation Rescue only want information. These

parents deserve more than road blocks, they deserve answers. We can and should

move

forward in search of those answers. That's why I've introduced a common

sense bill that would require the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to

conduct

a comprehensive, comparative study on the possible link between autism and

thimerosal. "

 

From 1983 to 2007, autism rates have climbed from 1 in 10,000 children to 1

in 150 children, a growth rate of 6,000% (boys are significantly more

affected by neurological disorders, accounting for approximately 80% of all

cases).

ADHD currently affects 1 in 13 children. In the same period, the CDC's

recommended vaccine schedule more than tripled. The simmering debate over the

cause

of childhood neurological disorders shows no sign of cooling, but no study

had ever been done to look at unvaccinated children.

 

Lisa Handley, co-founder of Generation Rescue, adds, " Everyone working with

autism wants to identify the cause so we can focus on treatment and

prevention. A national study like HR 5940 could help end this debate and focus

all of

our resources on helping our kids. Its time has come, and we hope Congress

will choose to put our children first. "
