The truth is that the CDC has been very effective in laying the foundation to destroy the vaccine program all by themselves and their double speak is analogous to someone saying you can't be against war and support the troops at the same time, you're either for us or against us, etc. It is actually illegal for a federal agency to propagandize the American public, but that is exactly what the vaccine division of the CDC does. It has used the tactic of generating fear and it has earned billions of dollars for this agency. 

Once the public loses trust in public health programs it can take many years to regain that trust. I am reminded of the Tuskegee syphilis experiments that are still a cause of distrust of public health programs amongst Black Americans. 

Losing the Public Trust...

The cover-up at the CDC surrounding the mercury preservative found in so many vaccines (up until about 2003) has had very serious far-reaching implications. The children whose lives were forever changed by being injected with Thimerosal preservative were giving us a global 'heads-up.' They were showing us that the background level of mercury pollution has increased to the point that it is beginning to take its toll on the human species, but the CDC turned its head away from this crisis because it conflicted with what they were promoting in the vaccine program. 

As I said before, mercury is the deadliest non-radioactive element on Earth, and 1000s of tons are spewed into the environment every year. With each coal-fire power plant that comes on line we are one step closer to exterminating human life on this planet. However, mercury is politically protected because of its connection with the fossil-fuel industry, dentistry (amalgam dental filings), and vaccine. 

Thimerosal is still in the flu vaccine for children above the age of 3 and they are receiving as much as half of the dose of mercury that the child in the '90's received. Thimerosal was not removed from vaccine in 1999. That was when the promise was made, but promises weren't kept. Thimerosal is also in the meningitis vaccine. 

Lower IQ levels linked to mercury exposure in the womb cost the USA $8.7 billion a year in lost-earnings potential according to a study done by the Mount Sinai Center for Children's Health and the Environment (http://fusion.mssm.edu/media/content.cfm?storynum=252). If it were publicly acknowledged that mercury pollution was the trigger for the autism epidemic this number would be in the trillions of dollars. One in six children is born to mothers with dangerous levels of mercury in their blood - perhaps the same one in six that the CDC admits have a neurobehavioral disorder. 

Our regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the EPA, have been taken over by the very industries they were mandated to regulate and the revolving door between industry and top-level appointees at these regulatory agencies has eliminated many of the normal safeguards we have relied on for our protection. 

There is no disputing the numbers.  Last month the Tonawanda News in New York reported "cases of autism in the state jumped from fewer than 2,000 in 1992 to 9,500 in 2003.?" Even worse was the number of affected children in New York schools in 2005-2006 according to the Dept. of Education.  New York's autism total had increased to 12,257.   

Maybe what we really need to be made aware of is what the eventual cost of autism will be to the U.S.  The Autism Society of America tells us that autism is growing by 10-17% a year.  They also say that it currently costs $90 billion a year and it's projected to increase to $200-400 billion annually in ten more years.  A Harvard study out last year put the cost of lifetime support conservatively at $3.2 million per individual.   

April was Autism Awareness month, but why are we only asking for awareness and not for answers?   This is a glaring omission when we're talking about so many affected children.  Awareness, treatment, and identification are critical but so is preventing autism. 

If we were talking about children going blind read how obscene this would sound: 

"The number of children diagnosed with blindness is rapidly increasing. According to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one in every 150 U.S. children is blind. These numbers are startling and this disability is affecting more and more families. Twenty years ago blindness was a very rare case. Today blindness is becoming a frightening statistic in every community.  April is Blindness Awareness Month and I encourage everyone to take this opportunity to learn more about this disability..." 

It would be absurd to relate this information about blindness without giving any explanation about what was causing it.  Everyone would be demanding answers, and I dare say there would be protests in the streets to say the least. 

The CDC and Autism...

CDC director Julie Gerberding announced the new autism rate of one in every 150 children with a flourish. She said that while there were more kids being diagnosed with autism, it doesn't mean the autism was necessarily on the rise. No one in the press seemed concerned that the CDC has been counting kids with autism for years and still can't tell us if there are actually more of them. After all, it's just "better diagnosing by doctors" and "better statistics by the Centers for Disease Control." And now we learn that the Autism Genome Project (AGP) recently uncovered evidence shows that autism is caused by "genetic flaws.?  

Common sense would tell us that pushing children onto a busy street, observing that some of them were injured, and then looking for a genetic reason why some of them were hit defies credulity. 

No other disease in history has been subjected to the spin that has been put on autism. 

Dr. Ezra Susser, chairman of epidemiology at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York indicated that he believed the new genetic findings would help scientists to understand how "the environment might lead to autism by causing genetic changes." 

Susser said, "It shows us that we need to think about many environmental factors that might influence autism." 

The new genetic findings on autism got a lot of coverage from major news outlets and reports made it look like we're on the cutting edge of a major autism breakthrough. But let's do a reality check here, genes don't just spontaneously and randomly mutate all by themselves. There has to be an environmental agent affecting these genes. 

Some will have you believe that autism is some medical mystery that's always been around but we just haven't been able to get a handle on. So, show me the 30 year olds with autism, the 40 year olds with autism, and the 50 year olds with autism. Guess what? They aren't there for the most part. The explosion in the number of children with autism is real but most of the scientific community has ignored this. Let's face it they have been encouraged to ignore it, and anyone getting close to the truth finds that they get their NIH research grants pulled. 

That's right...science is being manipulated so that a big lie can stay alive and those culpable can remain unaccountable. 

It seems the scientific world isn't concerned that more children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes and pediatric cancer combined. News stories about autistic kids are now beginning to reveal the duplicity of CDC officials. These reports clearly show that this isn't something we have all the time in the world to theorize and ponder about. 

All the experts searching diligently for those elusive genetic mutations seem blissfully unaware of the impact of autism on our schools and the impending disaster, as these autistic children become autistic adults. Anyone looking at the graphs and charts based on Department of Education statistics showing the soaring autism numbers has got to be worried. The dramatic increase in children in our schools disabled with autism is a scary preview of the impact they will have on the Social Security System in the next five to ten years. 

Michael Ganz's Harvard study last year conservatively put the lifetime care cost for one autistic individual at $3.2 million dollars.
