The Mushroom Cloud That Caused Autism

Maybe the real concern for those at the Simpsonwood meeting was best expressed by Dr. Robert Brent, a pediatrician at the Alfred I. du Pont Hospital for Children in Delaware who said:    

 “We are in a bad position from the standpoint of defending any lawsuits.”  

The Simpsonwood attendees were told the information they discussed was “embargoed” and no one was to reveal their findings with the public. Verstraeten was immediately hired by one of the vaccine makers (GlaxoSmithKline) in Belgium.   Over 3 years later he went on to publish the results of his analysis in the journal Pediatrics, only by this time he had diluted his findings 4 times with corrupted datasets and the significance of his original report discussed at Simpsonwood had disappeared.

(http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/112/5/1039). He did not list a conflict of interest and told the journal he was an employee of the CDC when he had been an employee of GlaxoSmithKline for three years (in 2004 an errata was published online). 

The policy of the vaccine division of the CDC is to promote the safety of Thimerosal and to keep it in the vaccine schedule no matter what - to “stay the course.” To do so, more than one law has been broken and the public trust violated.  The rationalization for this fraud was that a certain level of morbidity (side effects) must be tolerated for the good vaccines do for the greater population.  However this was not their decision to make. The CDC is in charge of vaccine safety which should have superseded all other responsibilities because vaccines are federally mandated.  

The decision was made to make irrational arguments to defend injecting a known neurotoxin into the world’s children, to lie about what resulted, and to encourage the publication of falsified data in order to cover up what was known to be the truth.
