The hands expected to protect and serve have poisoned the weakest, most vulnerable portion of the population, the children. The American government and drug manufacturers have created anarchy among innocence, transformed children into mere investments, and turned a blind eye to the destruction of the world's future.
The vaccine controversy was first recognized in the late 1980's when autism cases began escalating at a terrifying rate. Further investigation of the matter revealed the common denominator as thimerosal, a preservative (49.6% mercury by weight) used as an antibacterial agent in multi-dose vials of vaccines.
Recommending a schedule of over 30 vaccine doses before the age of two, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) play a dangerous game of Russian roulette with the world's children. Common vaccines such as diphtheria-tetanus-whole-cell-pertussis (DTP), hepatitis b (Hep b), and diphtheria-tetanus-acellular- pertussis (DTaP) all contained thimerosal until at least 1999 and were repeatedly administered, exposing children to dangerous levels of mercury.
Comprised of liars, thieves, and most of all, cowards, the American government has failed its people in every sense of the word by maliciously dismissing scientific evidence of thimerosal's toxicity and allowing the youngest, most defenseless portion of society to fall victim to political warfare.
Developed in 1929 by Eli Lilly & Co. thimerosal, or ethylmercury, was used to kill bacteria and fungus that breed when vaccine vials are penetrated more than once, hence multi-dose vials.
The autism epidemic could have been stopped in 1931 when Lilly's initial safety test was documented. The study was conducted by injecting 22 terminal meningitis patients with the serum and concluded thimerosal was "non-toxic" since no adverse side effects were reported. What the final report did not say is the subjects were specifically chosen by Lilly because they knew not one person would live long enough to confirm the true nature of the beast.
Another major drug manufacturer, Pittman-Moore, tested the preservative in 1935 on dogs and declared thimerosal as "unsatisfactory as a serum intended for use on dogs" (Kennedy, 2005, The Story).
Although one would think such findings warranted further investigation, it would take decades before the FDA even began to question thimerosal's risks. When evidence of toxicity did begin to surface, officials ignored the facts and became even more vigilant, as admitting guilt would leave members open to paralyzing repercussions- both legal and financial.
Though thimerosal continued to be studied and found hazardous, government officials did little to protect the public and actually aided in society's demise by supplying developing countries with thimerosal-containing vaccines (TCV's) after they had been banned from American vaccines, an action that would soon prove perilous, as the autism epidemic would no longer be confined to the United States.
Once thought of as an "American disease", autism was considered rare and affected approximately 1 in every 10,000 children, as compared to 1 in every 166 children today (The Autism Autoimmunity Project, 2005). The disorder was first diagnosed in 1943 amid 11 children born in the months following thimerosal's debut and is best described as a brain disorder that affects the development of social and communication skills, leaving those affected with little chance for a normal life.
Specific characteristics of autism include the inability to make eye contact, unexplained changes in mood, delayed speech, repetitive behavior, and incapability to tolerate changes in light, sound, and overall environment; which, Bernard et al. recently studied and concluded they "... have shown that every major characteristic of autism has been exhibited in at least several cases of documented mercury poisoning" (Generation Rescue, 2005, Discussion).
The exact cause of autism has yet to be found, but after watching history unfold, some believe they know why autism rates have shown such drastic increases.
One could argue the current epidemic is nothing more than a case of better diagnosing on doctors' parts and better recognition by the public. At first glance, such possibilities seem reasonable. Nevertheless, as said by one of the world's authorities on mercury poisoning, Dr. Boyd Haley, "If the epidemic is truly an artifact of poor diagnosis, then where are all the twenty-one-year-old autistics (Kennedy, 2005, The Story)?"
The statistics show the explosion is restricted to a single generation of children, so to say poor diagnosis in the past is to blame could not justify such an occurrence.
Another proposed theory is autism is caused by mercury, but since Americans have been exposed to mercury from contaminated fish, coal-burning power plants, and dental fillings, the TCV's may not be solely responsible for the amplified autism rates.
This theory is more rational, but mercury poisoning from these sources has been documented as far back as the 1800's, while "autism" was only recognized in the 1940's. This alone should have raised some concern about its safety, but regrettably, it was overlooked and dismissed as yet another coincidence.
What cannot be ignored, on the other hand, are the actual instances where American drug companies like Merck and Glaxo-Smith-Kline began marketing TCV's to developing countries and resulted in a sudden boom of autism reports, such as those reported in Indonesia, India, and Argentina.
Author Evelyn Pringle describes one shocking example of such an occurrence:
... A good example is China, ... On August 11, 2004, the official Chinese news agency, Xinhua, reported that children suffering with autism in that country had suddenly skyrocketed. In a few short years, the number of reported cases jumped from nearly nothing to some 1.8 million children in 2004. (Generation Rescue, 2005, Fact # 16)
The prevention is more dangerous than the risk of infection?
So ban the preventive measures.
And arraign those who have knowingly condoned the prescription and use of proven toxic substances.
Money should have nothing to do with it. Break the drugs companies that produce faulty medicaments, and jail their owners. Their stockholders? Tough. That is the risk they took. They lost.
If law does not provide for this justice, then change the law. If the politicians will not allow it, get rid of the politicians.
Let's take back our planet from the tribe of money-crazed apes.

Great summary of the controversial thimerosal which contains mercury and is still included in American influenza vaccines for pregnant women and infants as young as six months old. Having studied this horrendous increase in autism as it has hit my classroom and hundreds of others, I applaud you for bringing attention to this devastating epidemic. If it continues at this rate all of our great grandchildren will have autism. Think on that for awhile and then do something about it. I would like to add that a vaccine court was set up to compensate children who had bad side effects from vaccines. I think it was set up with good intentions. Now all vaccine related cases are sent there and it is used as a cover up device. Usually when there is evidence against a medication, we start seeing lawsuits in the courts and things are slowly corrected such as with the case of VIOX. However, even though many, many cases have been brought against thimerosal, those cases are languishing in the little known federal vaccine court. If you want to know more, read David Kirby's book, EVIDENCE OF HARM.

Are they poisening our children, to sell them meds later?
Thank you so much for sharing the bitter sweet truth, for the life of me, I can't understand why more reporters aren't exposing the coverup - It's such an outrage!!
Another interesting fact: This is maybe another reason why doctors are hesitant to share:
Considering 85-90% of Big Pharma marketing money is not spent on ad's, rather on doctors and symposiums (I wonder if the good Doctors have conflict of interests here). My biggest problem is DISCLOSURE - we were never told of the toxic additives, and in many cases it wasn't disclosed to the doctors.
