Deadly Immunity: Exporting The Autism Epidemic
In an article titled Deadly Immunity, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. exposes the US government's cover-up of the scandal around widespread poisoning of children by mercury-tainted vaccines. The article was first published in Rolling Stone Magazine and - unprecedented in publishing history - at the same time is posted on Salon.com. The scandal, not really new to those who are following Big Pharma's misdeeds, is getting the exposure it deserves. There is great urgency to do something stop the poisoning of children in America and in several developing nations including China, India, Nicaragua and Argentina, that have adopted American vaccine programs.
Kennedy, in his concluding remarks, describes the extent of the disaster, alluding to a growing loss of confidence in pharmaceutical medicine, not only in the First World, but also in those developing countries that have incautiously followed America's lead in pushing poisonous vaccinations for a whole generation of their kids:
I devoted time to study this issue because I believe that this is a moral crisis that must be addressed. If, as the evidence suggests, our public-health authorities knowingly allowed the pharmaceutical industry to poison an entire generation of American children, their actions arguably constitute one of the biggest scandals in the annals of American medicine. "The CDC is guilty of incompetence and gross negligence," says Mark Blaxill, vice president of Safe Minds, a nonprofit organization concerned about the role of mercury in medicines. "The damage caused by vaccine exposure is massive. It's bigger than asbestos, bigger than tobacco, bigger than anything you've ever seen."It's hard to calculate the damage to our country -- and to the international efforts to eradicate epidemic diseases -- if Third World nations come to believe that America's most heralded foreign-aid initiative is poisoning their children. It's not difficult to predict how this scenario will be interpreted by America's enemies abroad. The scientists and researchers -- many of them sincere, even idealistic -- who are participating in efforts to hide the science on thimerosal claim that they are trying to advance the lofty goal of protecting children in developing nations from disease pandemics. They are badly misguided. Their failure to come clean on thimerosal will come back horribly to haunt our country and the world's poorest populations.
Jon Rappoport of nomorefakenews.com has this to say:
VACCINES, MERCURY, AUTISM---THE CHEMICAL CRIMES
This article assumes that vaccines are a good thing. I have disputed that assumption for the last 15 years, and have written much on the subject.
In general, the long-term decline in various so-called infectious diseases is attributable to factors like improved nutrition and sanitation and cleaner water supplies and less overcrowding of populations---not the introduction of vaccines.
There are still vaccines on the market that contain mercury, and there are also drugs that contain mercury.
While it may be polite to say that health authorities overlooked the mercury problem, and while it may be less polite to say they coverered it up, in reality we are talking about a crime. A crime of poisoning. It is one of the most basic and traditional of crimes. It is actually a form of warfare, no matter what rationalizations are offered.
The most often-used rationalization goes this way: "We know that vaccines are miracles of disease prevention. If we scare the public by admitting we have been using a poison in vaccines, they will stay away from all vaccines, they won't trust us, and millions of unvaccinated children will die. Therefore, we must lie."
In fact, vaccines are not miracles. They are multi-faceted poisons. They may induce the formation of antibodies, which are said to be the best protection against future disease, but human immunity from disease is a much more complex situation. Immunity really comes from basic overall health, not from a shot of attenuated and/or live germs plus mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, and other chemicals.
Medical authorities have no problem saying the public should be the last to know. "We will protect you, but you must leave the method to us. You shouldn't enter into the process, which is really science, about which you know nothing. We're the pros. Trust us. Don't impede us."
Treating the public as a mass of uncomprehending idiots, time and time again, establishes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Walled off from vital information, the public does become more ignorant and less able to think matters through to essential conclusions.
Although it is true that admitting the mercury-autism link would greatly injure the profit picture of pharmaceutical companies and bring down hundreds of class-action suits on their heads, it is more true that a crime is in progress. In other words, if we focus too tightly on the concept that these companies are wrongly trying to protect their money, we don't emphasize strongly enough that they and the government agencies that aid them are engaged in a death-injection program.

A comment received from Mark Sircus of IMVA:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. VS the Medical Elite
International Medical Veritas AssocationIn reality doctors and the medical elite are lying to the public. Without a scientific leg to stand on they go on insisting there is no problem injecting the deadly nerve poison thimerosal into children. At this point parents know more about medicine then the doctors and the doctors just cannot stand the humiliation. They would rather hang onto their pride and let kids be injected with thimerosal, which is fifty percent mercury by weight, then humble themselves before their patients. They would rather see families destroyed and lives lived in misery, pain and disease than just admit they are wrong.
When it comes to thimerosal science is now totally against the medical elite and the pharmaceutical companies as well as your local friendly doctor.  But with their money and power the pharmaceutical companies have maintained a long list of medical officials who sustain a medical horror that has neurologically damaged millions of children. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., speaking on national radio this week on the Imus show,[i] expressed this graphically, indicating those medical officials, when they speak about thimerosal in vaccines, use "high sounding language, but under questioning they fall apart because the science is so clear that thimerosal is deadly. The scientific evidence is now so overwhelming (that thimerosal is toxic) that it's almost bizarre the way medical officials defend its safety. They have no defense and they know it. It's an institutional bureaucratic cover-up." On the  Scarborough Country show Kennedy went on to say, "One in every 166 children has autism. Plus one in six have other kinds of learning disorders, other kinds of neurological disorders, speech delay, language disorders, ADD, hyperactivity, that all seem to be connected to autism -- to Thimerosal. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of studies that connect Thimerosal to these disastrous neurological disorders."Â
These words from Kennedy strike a note of doom for the medical elite in governmental agencies like the CDC and the FDA as well as other organizations like the Institute of Medicine who have turned their backs on basic science. All you have to do is look at the Calgary University video of mercury destroying nerve sheaths to know that there is no question that mercury is a horridly devastating substance.
Mercury exposure is bad for the health of our children no matter what one believes about the link to autism. Sara Ellman  Kennedy was astounded when he reviewed transcripts of the Simpsonwood secret meetings that the CDC had with the pharmaceutical industry. Kennedy said, "It was clear from those meetings that the bureaucrats and regulators who are in charge of protecting Americans from poor health and from contamination were actually in cahoots with the pharmaceutical industry and trying to hide the information from the public. Talking to the people who participated in that meeting, questioning them, it became quickly clear that their defense of thimerosal, their efforts to exonerate thimerosal were not based on real science. The studies they cited were these patently phony studies." Kennedy made it clear about the United States government, principally about the people at the CDC, "These people have literally poisoned an entire generation of children, from 1989 to 2003 injecting mercury into the children during the most vulnerable periods of their lives."
Isn't it common sense that mercury should not be in anything injected into children? Betsy BurtnerKennedy went on saying, "You should see what autism does to people's lives. It shatters the entire family, it destroys them. It's the saddest thing, because these perfectly healthy wonderful children are taken into their pediatrician's office, the wonderful family doctors that they trust and are given the shots because they are told its going to save your life, its good for you, and they come out of that pediatricians office and by the late afternoon they are having seizures. The parents bring them to the hospital and then the kid just disappears. This child who was a complete human being, he stops talking, he starts banging his head against the wall, he starts biting himself, stops interacting with his siblings and it costs 70,000 dollars a year to take care of this child for the rest of their lives. And these people (Officials at the CDC) know this and they are continuing to inject children with this horrible toxin. It's like out of George Orwell."Â
"The worst thing is we are now shipping it abroad. They are giving this to kids all over the third world. In China autism was unknown five years ago. In 1999 they started giving them American vaccines containing thimerosal. Our companies are over there administering these to the Chinese children there and now there are 1.8 million cases of autism. Autism is exploding; we are exporting this stuff all over the third world. Autism is exploding in Argentina, Nigeria, in India."
"What is going to happen when our enemies around the world, America's enemies, realize that the United States most heralded foreign policy, which is to vaccinate the children of the world, one of the best things we do, that we are actually using that policy to poison the brains of developing world children. This is a disaster."
Imus, who interviewed Kennedy said, "I have had the most powerful people in the media tell me that its hopeless to go up against the pharmaceutical lobby." The major news networks are in bed with pharmaceutical money abandoning their major responsibilities to inform and protect the public. The handwriting is on the wall for doctors and government officials around the world, who continue on with what can only be described as a brutal ignorance about the thimerosal issue. Meanwhile the mainstream press, for fear of losing advertising money, would see a generation poisoned rather than do their jobs.  Â
The pharmaceutical companies are so appalling that they do not stop with their attacks on these children. This week the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia said that 19% of newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetic children also have neurological diseases. Many of these children are being treated with psychiatric medications Zyprexa, Risperdal, Geodon, Seroquel, Clozaril, and Abilify. Many of these drugs carry black box warning to alert MD's about the dangers of diabetes. The most studied adverse effect of the newer generation of antipsychotics is their association with hyperglycemia, in some cases leading to ketoacidosis, coma, or death. Risperdal was recently refused approval for use in autism by the FDA yet is being increasingly used to treat behavior problems that arise for children on the autism spectrum. This month U.S. drug maker Eli Lilly, the company that unleashed thimerosal on the world's children 70 years ago, said it will record a pretax charge of at least $700 million in its second quarter to settle claims that it did not warn consumers that their drug Zyprexa could cause diabetes-like symptoms.[ii]
It is incredible that parents continue to trust doctors who add insult to injury to autistic children by continuing to administer dangerous and harmful drugs. The pharmaceutical companies, and those who believe in the safety of their medicines, have shown clearly that they cannot be trusted with the lives of these children. It is a good thing to trust others, when we have not been given reason to distrust. But to trust the untrustworthy, when clearly we are being given every opportunity to see that trust is not deserved, is supremely dangerous to our children's lives.Â
It should be clear who the real terrorists are in our world and who should be put behind bars. But the human race has been put so deeply to sleep by television that we have not lifted a finger to protect the young from what can only be called medical terrorists who manipulate our trust and use it against our children. What can we expect from people who believe that the public health crisis we could all face if everyone decided to stop vaccinating is much worse than what we face in the fight against autism?
It should be nothing for each of us to print out this or any informative essay about these issues and hand them out to our neighbors. It is time to seize the moment and get on the bandwagon and support this door Kennedy is opening. Jennifer McInerney, a mother of an autistic child commented on this saying "This is one of the biggest news stories in recent history (the media just doesn't realize it yet). Let's get the story to the forefront so we can soon have the entire nation focused on our children, and their plight. We finally have the tools to educate people about the cause of Autism (Rolling Stone article, and coverage by national TV shows). Though many of you have been talking about this for years…often to deaf ears…you now have the power of print and a massive grass-roots effort behind you. We can do this!"                        Â
The walls of ignorance have to be parted by all of our efforts. The job is clear. We have to save millions of kids' brains out there in the world. Save them and their families from a fate no family should have to face. This is a crucial battle we must win. We cannot let the world's highest officials get away with the chemical rape of an entire generation of children. We have to hope and act as if it's the beginning of the end of an era of medical terror, an age when medical reason was lost to medical fascism promoted by the money and muscle of pharmaceutical companies. Â
Associated CommentsÂCraig Westover, reporting from the Twin City area said several interesting things in response to Kennedy's recent statements on autism and thimerosal. "I have been afraid of this for some time now — the politicizing of the medical controversy over the mercury-based vaccine additive thimerosal and its connection to autism. Kennedy's inflammatory prose degrades the thimerosal discussion. The autism discussion must first and foremost focus on science. Instead of making the scientific case, Kennedy goes for the political jugular."
Obviously many are going to step out and attack Kennedy on this issue by confusing the issue. Barbara Fisher from the National Vaccine Information Center responded to Westover saying, "This journalist is right about the need for good science to answer all the outstanding questions about the connection between mercury preservatives in vaccines and autism. Trouble right now is, nobody can trust the methodologically flawed science conducted by researchers with financial ties to industry and government who have a vested interest in coming up with the wrong answer. NVIC has always said "Show us the science and give us a choice." Show us the good science, that is. In the meantime, parents of vaccine injured children are left to deal with the reality of what we call "political immunology."
In his essay Westover went on to say, "Having virtually wiped out deadly childhood diseases, the National Immunization Program is such a sacred cow that it is inconceivable it might have damaged a generation of American children on an epidemic scale." And he said, "No responsible media outlet wants to be perceived on the wrong side of universal immunization — even if that's where good science leads." It is not clear what Westwood really wants to say here but this goes to the heart of the issue and what the resistance is. It is also here where religion and blind belief comes in more than science and politics. The pharmaceutical companies and the medical elite certainly want us to believe that child hood immunizations have wiped out deadly childhood diseases but science is not so sure because many of the diseases were declining before the vaccines for the diseases were brought to the public. It is the religion of medicine that has a hard time conceiving that childhood vaccines might have damaged a generation of American children. Science though is getting closer and closer to being absolutely sure that the vaccines containing thimerosal have seriously harmed our children.
The politics of the thimerosal issue is not being raised by Kennedy but by Westover when he says, "Bush's family has close personal and financial ties to thimerosal patent originator Eli Lilly & Co. A number of people with strong pharmaceutical industry connections hold key Bush administration positions." Bush has broken his promises about thimerosal and the federal government is against the states banning thimerosal for political and financial reasons. Hundreds of billions if not a trillion dollars of liability is on the line. The potential for such huge loss speaks louder than anything else when it comes to the thimerosal issue. Bush was on TV today making a point about the junk lawsuits and the need to stop them, the need to limit liability before we don't have any doctors. The falseness here is so great that it makes it hard to believe in the terrible truth. It's the doctors and the pharmaceutical companies that must be stopped and it is the families of this lost generation of kids that need to be completly compensated for their losses, pain and certainly for the full cost of treatments that will recover these children.

Children are America's most precious resource. We pediatricians routinely advise parents to use car seats and helmets to protect their children from devastating injuries. We urge pregnant women to abstain from smoking and drinking and to eat a balanced diet to ensure proper nutrition for their babies. These preventive measures do not merely make good medical sense, they make good financial sense, preventing unnecessary and costly health care and preserving children's futures. When we recently learned a preventable form of brain injury ˜ environmental pollution ˜ is harming hundreds of thousands of American children each year, we decided it was time to speak on behalf of the children. This type of brain damage can reduce their lifetime earnings potential by billions of dollars annually. Chemicals that poison the developing brain - neurotoxicants - pose an insidious threat to children's health. These include lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and certain pesticides. In the months right before and after birth, when children are passing through the most rapid phases of development, they are especially vulnerable to these threats.Debated autism therapy gives hope to parents

Autism - Cut The Crap
by Evelyn Pringle
In their public statements, officials within the FDA and CDC, are always claiming that researchers and scientists who conduct studies, not funded by drug companies or the government, are making unfounded claims about a link between thimerosal-laced vaccines and autism, and other neurological disorders, which they claim could lead to reduced vaccine coverage, resulting in preventable outbreaks of disease affecting the entire planet.
I say cut the crap.FDA Knew Dangers Of Thimerosal-Vaccines For 60 Years
September 02, 2005 By: Evelyn Pringle - Independent Media TV ?
Since the 1930s, mercury-based Thimerosal has been added to vaccines as a preservative to boost drug company profits by allowing vaccine makers to package in bulk instead of individual doses. According to newly discovered research, which was supported by a grant from the American Medical Association, government agencies have known for 60 years that Thimerosal was neither safe or effective, and that it should have been removed as a preservative in pharmaceutical products."For a long period mercurial compounds, such as bichloride of mercury, headed the list of chemical which were thought to be effective in the killing of microorganisms," it said. However, the authors basically state that Thimerosal as a preservative is useless, "It is not highly germicidal and especially does not possess high germicidal value in the presence of serum and other protein mediums. The loss of antibacterial activity of mercurials in the presence of serum proves their incompatibility with serum."
