Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians by Bryan Jepson, Katie Wright, and Jane Johnson (Paperback - Jul 25, 2007)

"The federal government removed one of the original plaintiffs in that trial, Hannah Poling, after agreeing with her parents' contention that vaccines exacerbated a mitochondrial disease the girl had, triggering autismlike symptoms."

You meant to say that the government *settled* a case in which they knew they could not possibly prevail.

Autism is described by its symptoms, therefore 'autism like symptoms' equals autism.

I just talked with Pickering by phone from Atlanta: he's a pediatrician at the CDC and editor of the Red Book, the bible on infectious diseases for pediatricians. Here's what he said:

The online vaccine scheduler doesn't yet have a way for parents to revise their children's records on line, but that's coming soon.

In the meantime, it gives parents and pediatricians options in how to schedule vaccinations. Most pediatricians are willing to work with parents who want to space out childrens' shots. It would be a good idea to check with your insurance company, too, to make sure the extra visits are covered.

Printing out the schedule in advance of a child's doctor visit will free up time during the visit for talking about other things.

Autism is simply a term from the psychiatric DSM-IV manual. It's nothing but a smokescreen. It provides an alibi for the CDC, AAP, FDA, AMA and other public health agencies responsible for this toxicology experiment gone bad. It provides an alibi for pediatricians who injected millions of kids with known toxins. It provides an alibi for insurance companies so they don't have to pay for treatment for these sick kids. It allows psychiatrists to distribute chemical straight jackets. There will never be an identifiable cause for autism.

Vaccines with “trace” amounts of Thimerosal (such as the influenza vaccine), by definition, “contain less than 1 microgram of mercury (Hg) per dose (http://www.fda.gov/cber/vaccine/thimerosal.htm).” For example, consider that the reduced-Thimerosal flu vaccine with 0.0002% mercury is equivalent to 1 microgram (µg) of Hg per 0.5 mL, or 2 µg of Hg per mL, which is the same as 2000 µg per liter; or 2000 ppb or parts per billion .

0.5 parts per billion (ppb) mercury has been shown to kill human neuroblastoma cells (Parran et al., Toxicol Sci 2005; 86:132–40).

2 ppb mercury is the U.S. EPA limit for drinking water (http://www.epa.gov/safewater/contaminants /index.html#mcls).

20 ppb mercury destroys neurite membrane structures (Leong et al., Neuroreport 2001; 12:733–7).

200 ppb mercury is the level in liquid that the EPA classifies as hazardous waste (http://www.epa.gov/ epaoswer/hazwaste/mercury/ regs.htm#hazwaste).

25,000 ppb mercury is the concentration of mercury in multi-dose, Hepatitis B vaccine vials, administered at birth from 1991-2001 in the U.S.

50,000 ppb mercury is the concentration of mercury in multi-dose DTP and Haemophilus B vaccine vials, administered 8 times in the 1990’s to children at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 18 months of age and currently “preservative” level mercury in multi-dose flu, meningococcal and tetanus (7 and older) vaccines.
