New Spin: Toxic Soup May Cause Autism, But Not Vaccines

February 15, 2014,

Headlines like this are so frustrating but at the same time illuminating:

Number of chemicals linked to autism and other disorders doubled in past 7 years, study shows

They are frustrating because they seem to recognize that toxic exposure is dangerous while denying that the toxins in vaccines might be. They are illuminating because they lay bare for all to see the absurdity of this kind of science that acknowledges the dangers of a spectrum of chemicals to which a developing baby might be exposed through what the mother eats and breaths while at the same time pretending that the toxins injected into that same mother or newborn infant are harmless. Essentially, they show the research up for the charade that it is.

In the recent research in question, the scientists who have examined the relationship between toxic insults in pregnancy and the resulting development of autism have added 6 chemicals to their list of potential culprits bringing the total to 11. Their list used to consist of lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene and now it has been expanded to include manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT), tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated biphenyl ethers.

The authors give the pat reassurance that some on the list, like fluoride, are not in high enough concentrations in US drinking water to cause a problem despite research showing that the children in communities that add fluoride to their water have lower IQ’s. Or they identify methylmercury, the form of mercury found in fish, as a dangerous neurotoxin but never mention the ethylmercury found in flu vaccines given to folks of all ages including pregnant women and babies of 6 months.

There is no doubt that toxic chemicals are causing harm to our children but scientists like these refuse to look at the most direct form of toxic insult: vaccination. Vaccines contain mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, detergents and a host of other chemicals and there is ample published researched showing the dangerous impact some of these have on the brain of fully developed adults, not to mention children.

As noted, they admit that methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin – it is on their list – but they maintain the the ethylmercury found in vaccines is not. It is outrageous. Not to mention the fact that ethylmercury is known to concentrate more in the brains and kidneys of primates.

But they can’t let the truth get in the way of research funding, maintaining the status quo, or our national vaccine program. So let’s just pretend autism is caused by all these pesky new chemicals that really aren’t new at all rather than examine the ballooning childhood vaccination schedule which went from 11 doses of 4 vaccines in the first year of life several decades ago to 26 doses of 9 vaccines in the first year of life according to CDC’s current schedule, coinciding with the explosion in autism. To be sure, the rate of autism just a few decades ago was a scant 1 or 2 in 10,000 and according to the latest CDC estimates afflicts a staggering 1 in 50 kids today.

This type of research is little more than a charade. Until CDC does a study comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated kids and totally unvaccinated kids, scientists and health authorities can always pretend that they are looking for the answer to autism and that it just might be toxic exposure but couldn’t be that barrage of vaccines that begin within hours and sometimes minutes of birth.

So remember, when it comes to vaccines, Think Again!
