McCain Supports Link Between Vaccines and Autism
March 5, 2008
Houston (dbTechno) - During a campaign event in Texas, on his way to winning the Republican nomination for president, Senator John McCain stated that he supports the idea that mercury in thimerosal, found in vaccines, has led to the increase in autism among children.
During the campaign event, McCain stated “It’s indisputable that autism is on the rise among children. The question is, what’s causing it?”
He stated “there’s strong evidence that indicates that it’s got to do with a preservative in vaccines.”
Autism is clearly on the rise in the U.S., even after drug companies have removed the preservative thimerosal.
The myth is just that though, a myth, as researchers have been able to find that there is no link to thimerosal and the rise in autism cases.
The connection was debunked by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Either way though, it is clear that the rise in autism, which researchers stated is linked to an environmental cause, is a hot topic on the campaign trail.

To those who insist that vaccines have not, are not and will no be linked in any way to ASD. That hundreds upon hundreds of stories about children regressing into autism, or developing other autoinmune disorders shortly after a round of vaccination are just the product of fertile imaginations. That thimerosal was taken out of the vaccines in 2001. That the CDC, AAP and FDA have no other interest than the health of our kids. That they are and always will be transparent. That they are not financially supported by vaccine makers. That they have no ties whatsoever with the pharmaceutical industry. That every study ever published discrediting the link between thimerosal or the MMR jab with autism has been unbiased, not manipulated, flawless, definitive, and that the researchers and authors of these studies never had or have any special interests, never received any funding or had any link with the CDC or pharmaceutical companies, and that they were never related in any way shape or form with the pharmaceutical industry.
To those who think that the media is fair and balanced in reporting both sides of the story. That they do their homework before they report anything, and that they do not respond to any special interests. That every parent who tries to do “unproven” alternative therapies is an irresponsible whacko even if the kids get better, and If they do so is because that is just the natural progression of their autism, or the alternative. that they were never in the spectrum in the first place. That every parent should only try ST, OT or ABA with their kids as if these therapies were free, affordable, or even accesible to everyone.
I cannot force everyone to be objective and really do their homework, as I’m sure I don’t have the time to do it for them.
As Kim Staglano puts it “you cannot expect 100% of the vaccines to be 100% safe, 100% of the time to 100% of the children” Yet the CDC thinks so.
My son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS last a year ago, and he is the only peer reviewed double blind placebo controlled study that I need.
No developmental pediatrician, neurologist, psychologist or therapists have been able to explain to me why his metabolism is so messed up, or why he suffers frequent episodes of unexplained diarrhea, or why he has yeast and atypical bacteria overgrowth in his GI tract, or why he suffers from colitis, or why he is proven mercury and lead toxic. Furthermore, they have not been able to explain why so many kids in the spectrum have similar clinical problems as my son does, or why my son’s behaviors and symptoms have markedly improved with “voodoo” therapies, and treating his clinical issues.
If thimerosal was removed in 2001, then why in feb. 2007 we found thimerosal in 3 out of 4 vaccines that my then 4 months old daughter was going to receive just to have her ears pierced (I still have the vaccine inserts, and by the way this happened in Houston, TX and not in Uganda or wherever).
I read somewhere that you “don’t need a study to know that sh.. stinks”, I guess if enough people can agree on that, then thousands of anecdotal stories cannot or should not be ignored and considered worthless.
Also, I don’t want to say that the CDC or the AAP are corrupted and are profoundly interested in protecting their contributors and sources of funding (If I’m just making this up, just go their web pages and find out for yourselves), yet no one who has in all honesty reviewed the famous Denmark studies (form the statistical flaws to the researchers involved, as well as to the funding sources and vested interests), or the manipulation given to the original Verstraten data presented at Simpsonwood could in their right mind say that institutions like the above mentioned are transparent, and that they only have our children best interests in mind. The IOM, and the FDA are also just eating from the same plate.
The ignorance, or better said, lack of information that the mainstream medical community has is due in large part to their trust of the official federal institutions mentioned. Your son/daughter’s pediatrician cannot be directly blamed for not knowing, but for not researching.
A study is published today (reputable or not)that allegedly destroys the thimerosal or MMR theories as causes of autism, and for the next three weeks you will find it on the web, in newspapers, television news, radio, magazines, and every form of media ever created. If such study (reputable or not) supported the idea that thimerosal or the MMR is related to autism causation you will be lucky if you get to read about it in the classifieds section of a God forsaken newspaper.
The scientific evidence that supports a connection is vast. For starters it is universally known that if I was mass murderer I would inject my victims with mercury. It wouldn’t take much to kill them, and only very minimal dosis would cause serious neurological damage. It is toxic and that is just a fact.
Apparently everybody has an agenda, and the parents are left to find answers on their own. Unfortunatelly the answers that thousands of parents have found on their own are against everything that is oficially being fed to the masses. Therefore, we can only swim against the current, and work relentlessly with our kids and to see them improve day in and day out with forbidden therapies and traditional therapies as well. In some cases these kids even recover. And parents do it all on their own.
They’re right! Mercury does not cause autism (a psychiatric disorder from the DSM-IV manual). There are now 11 published, peer-reviewed papers that identify the underlying medical conditions of autism as neuroinflammatory disease. One of these papers is titled, Neuroglial Activation and Inflammation in the Brains of Patients with Autism. It was done at John Hopkins University using brain tissue from deceased autistic patients. Does mercury, a known neurotoxin, cause neuroinflammatory disease? Does neuroinflammatory disease (death of brain cells) express itself as an autism like disorder? Now this would be a good debate.
P.S. The family who won the case will be holding their press conference tomorrow. The press release:
LANDMARK FEDERAL COURT CONCESSION THAT LOCAL CHILD FROM ATLANTA DEVELOPED AUTISM FROM VACCINES
CHILD JOINS PARENTS IN PRESS CONFERENCE ABOUT THIS HISTORIC RESULT AT ATLANTA FEDERAL COURT HOUSE TOMORROW
LOCAL COUPLE FROM ATLANTA WILL JOIN WITH THEIR 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, HANNAH, IN A PRESS CONFERENCE DISCUSSING THEIR DAUGHTER’S DEVELOPMENT OF AUTISM AS A RESULT OF VACCINES. THIS LANDMARK CASE ALLEGED THAT AUTISM WAS CAUSED BY CHILDHOOD VACCINES AND WAS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD AS A TEST CASE BEFORE THE CONCESSION WAS MADE.
THE PRESS CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD TOMORROW, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2008 AT 11:30 AM ON THE STEPS OF U.S. FEDERAL COURTHOUSE AT 75 SPRING STREET IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL HAVE ESTIMATED THAT 1 IN 166 CHILDREN HAVE AUTISM, AND MANY HAVE LINKED THE AUTISM EPIDEMIC IN THIS COUNTRY TO THE MERCURY BASED PRESERVATIVE USED IN CHILDHOOD VACCINES.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE YOUR KIDS IMMUNIZED!!!! You DON’T! Parents - take a deep look into what’s in those vaccines. Educate yourselves and make a decision. You DON’T have to put that stuff into your child’s system. You just DON’T.
There has yet to be ANY study that has shown vaccines and/or thimerosal DO NOT cause autism. Until a study is designed to evaluate outcomes for individuals who have been vaccinated versus those who have not, there CAN NOT be any conclusion one way or the other.
In the meantime, I stand firmly in the camp that says injecting mercury, formaldehyde, antifreeze, polysorbate, aluminum, ammonium sulfate, alcohol, msg, phenol, fetal cells from aborted humans, cells from cows, monkeys, sheep, and chickens, neomycin, squalene, and many other toxic components (not to mention the bonus contamination, including monkey virus, cmv, and other stealth virus’ and biological contamination). and the allergens introduced to our infants via vaccination: casein (dairy, whey, lactose), egg, soy, and corn is ignorant at best and downright exploitative at worst.
I encourage all you adults who think vaccines for infants and children are so beneficial, to roll up your sleeves every three months for the next couple of years and get the 35 or so shots that are administered to our babies - if you are still able to function at the end, write and let me know how well you are feeling! In the meantime, I wil continue my exhaustive efforts to help my children overcome their vaccine injuries and diligently protect them from environmental poisons (regardless of the source).
