An investigation on the government cover-up of a mercury/autism scandal

[Guest guest]

In June 2000, high-level officials from the CDC and the Food and Drug

Administration, the top vaccine specialist from the World Health

Organization and representatives of every major vaccine manufacturer,

including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Wyeth and Aventis Pasteur gathered for a

private meeting. The agency had issued no public announcement of the

session -- only private invitations to fifty-two attendees. There would be

no making photocopies of documents, no taking papers with them when they

left.

 

They met to discuss a disturbing new study that raised alarming questions

about the safety of a host of common childhood vaccines administered to

infants and young children. Based on the records of 100,000 children, a

mercury-based preservative in the vaccines -- thimerosal -- appeared to be

responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and a host of other

neurological disorders among children. Since 1991, when the CDC and the FDA

had recommended that three additional vaccines laced with the preservative

be given to extremely young infants -- in one case, within hours of birth --

the estimated number of cases of autism had increased fifteenfold, from one

in every 2,500 children to one in 166 children. (The results went from 1 in

every 150 kids for autism (1 in every 92 boys) to currently 1 in every 62

kids, majority boys)

 

But instead of taking immediate steps to alert the public and rid the

vaccine supply of thimerosal, the officials and executives at Simpsonwood

spent most of the next two days discussing how to cover up the damaging

data.

 

Take the time to review the article, it is interesting:
