Autism-Vaccine Links Get Test In Court

Parents Say Thimerosal Harmed Children

Thousands of families that allege vaccines caused their children's autism are preparing for their day in court, which could bring them vindication and compensation.Since 1999, more than 4,800 families have filed claims with the government alleging their children contracted autism as a result of routine vaccinations. Most contend that a preservative called thimerosal is to blame for the impaired social interaction typical of the disorder.Previously, large scientific studies have found no association between autism and vaccines containing thimerosal.

But many parents say their children's symptoms did not show up until after their children received the vaccines, required by many states for admission to school. If they prevail in the courts, the families are entitled to compensation from a multibillion-dollar trust fund. The first of what eventually could be nine test cases from those claims is the subject of the hearing opening Monday in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Three special masters appointed by the court will preside over the hearing, expected to last through June 29. Autism is characterized by impaired social interaction. Those affected often have trouble communicating, and they exhibit unusual or severely limited activities and interests. Classic symptoms of mercury poisoning include anxiety, fatigue and abnormal irritation, as well as cognitive and motor dysfunction. Monday's case addresses the theory that the cause of autism is the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in combination with other vaccines containing thimerosal. The preservative, about 50 percent mercury by weight, is no longer found in routine childhood vaccines but is used in some flu shots. In July 1999, the U.S. government asked vaccine manufacturers to eliminate or reduce, as expeditiously as possible, the mercury content of their vaccines to avoid any possibility of infants who receive vaccines being exposed to more mercury than is recommended by federal guidelines.

My son has autism. He was diagnosed just shy of his 3rd birthday.. I'm not sure how vaccines may have played a role in it, if any. I have a cousin with Autism, and his mom swears it has everything to do with it. Will be interesting to see the outcome of the court case, either way.

You can have your son tested with NAET- it is painless. There are many good testimonials about NAET and autism.

I have CFS. I have done a lot of research recently regarding vaccines due to information regarding the link in CFS and vaccinations. CFS was deemed the "Yuppie Flu" in the 1980s when there was a "sudden spike" in CFS/ME. "Yuppies" were known as men and women in college, earning degrees or already employed in professional occupations, such as medical professionals(nurses, doctors) as well as teachers and other professions. In regards to CFS, Medical professionals, teachers and students run the highest risk of developing it. Why, you ask? For they are the professional population who recieve the most vaccines per average, every year.
CFS and Autism are almost one in the same. Autism=CFS in babies. I am an adult who suffers CFS. I cannot imagine being a child suffering autism. It is time this comes to light, for autistic children, parents of autistic children and the professionals who put themselves at risk by accepting vaccinations for everything from Influenza every year to Tetanus every 10 Hepatitis B series and many many more over a period of years.
Vaccines were not tested for 50 years before being administered to MILLIONS of people around the globe.

The increase in autism are fueling a grass-roots movement of parents determined to expose what they believe is a connection between autism and vaccines. Autism, a developmental disability that usually appears before a child's third birthday, profoundly affects communication and social skills, impairing the child's ability to play, speak and relate to the world. The U.S. Department of Education reports a 173% increase in autistic children served under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act between the 1992-93 school year, when 15,580 children were counted, and 1997-98, when the figure was 42,500.

The connection between vaccination and autistic behavior, first reported in DPT: A Shot in the Dark (Coulter & Fisher, 1985) fifteen years ago and now being discussed in the medical literature, has finally entered the U.S. public arena after simmering for more than a decade. This enhanced public awareness has been fueled by persistent reports by parents in the U.S., Canada and Europe that their children were healthy, bright and happy until they received one or more vaccines and then descended into the isolated, painful world of autism marked by chronic immune and neurological dysfunction, including repetitive and uncontrollable behavior. Conservative estimates are that about 500,000 Americans are autistic but that number is growing daily, with new evidence that perhaps as many as 1 in 150 children are suffering from autism spectrum disorder that can include a range of neurological, behavior and immune system dysfunction.

In 1999, as states revealed skyrocketing rates of autism spectrum disorder among children and a congressional hearing was held in the U.S. Congress, the media began to explore the medical controversy in print and broadcast reports. At the heart of the debate stand a few courageous physicians whose independent, multi-disciplinary approach to investigating the possible biological mechanisms of vaccine-induced autism is serving as a counterweight to the steadfast denials by infectious disease specialists and government health officials defending current mass vaccination policies. As scientific evidence reveals that a portion of autism lies on the vaccine injury spectrum, parents determined to find help for their children are turning to doctors exploring diet and immune modulating therapies

Are there chimeras in our vaccines?

*****

With the advent of cloning, artificial wombs, stem cell research and trying to create life from unnatural means, an article from National Geographic News reveals that a growing controversy has begun over the making of Chimeras, which is the mixing of two or more species in a body, and in this case, human and animal. In other words, it is the creation of new species, part human and part whatever the scientist fancies to use. Visions of all manner of freakish creatures come to mind as likely have been envisioned by many, from Spiderman to the H. G. Wells novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau. Chimeras themselves are defined as a mythical fire-breathing creature composed of a lion's head, a goat's body and a serpent's tail.The Sphinx is an example of a type of chimera. According to the National Geographic article, the U.S. has no federal laws to address the chimera issue, while Canada has banned chimeras, fully prohibiting the transfer of "a nonhuman cell into a human embryo and putting human cells into a nonhuman embryo." The National Academy of Sciences, which advises the U.S. government, hopes to present voluntary ethical guidelines for researchers in March of this year. But consensus even for that report appears to have been difficult as various scientists disagree about whether it might be unethical to have a human embryo implanted into an animal's womb and similar unbelievable subject matter.

I still have to go and look for the orginial article.

Maybe we all vaccinated subjects are chimera experiments. Since vaccines are grown on animal tissue and then inyected to us.

Well I am going to stir everyone up here.

Autism is another one of those diseases invented to describe behaviour. There are no blood tests, scans, etc. for it, but it is diagnosed by ticking a few boxes. One of the criteria for example is "insistence on sameness, resists change". Which presumably lumps in almost everyone except politicians. Another is "repetitive behaviour", which presumably includes anyone who has any kind of hobby. In reality, we are all probably autistic to some extent, it is just that some people reach an arbitrary threshold number of criteria. I doubt whether the numbers have changed much over the years, it is just that the diagnosis of autism (as well ADD, ADHD, DBD, RAD, and so on) has grown alongside the number of psychologists. When I was at school there were some 'crazy' kids there, but I don't remember any of them being diagnosed as having any type of disorder.

I think we are some way off knowing what makes a bright child, slow child, angry child, etc. but I don't think labelling some as having a disorder is helping much. Banging them full of antidepressants to modify their behaviour in some cases is bordering on a breach of human rights in my mind.

Who knows whether vaccines are harmful, but I do know that the arguments are primarily emotional. I personally doubt the mercury argument anyway, since the mothers diet during pregnancy is likely to have been far more important.

Still, it should make an interesting case!

If one was to research Autism and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, they would find several distinct correlations. Autism in babies=CFS in adults. It is the same disease. The Autism happens due to the fact that the child's brain is not fully developed. In adults with CFS, memory loss, confusion, psuedodyslexia and many other neurological symptoms occur. Autistic children also have immune dysfunction, the same as CFS patients. The underlying connection to all of this are the vaccines. Parents report their children are fine until they recieve the vaccines. There is an obvious connection as Medical Professionals, teachers, students and military run the highest risk of CFS. Why? They are the population who recieve the most vaccines in a lifetime. No research was done on humans prior to the invention of the first vaccine, on the long term effects of multiple vaccinations. We are the research group. We are now finding out that perhaps vaccines were not the greatest invention of all time. And we are now learning the long term effects of multiple vaccines injected into the same person and initial vaccines given to the children. MC
