Vaccine Overload = Autism Epidemic

When Autism first became apparent in the 1940’s, it was filed as just another inevitable behavioral disorder with no medical cause. In other words, it was something that just happened to some children with no clue as to why and how. Since then, autism has increased 1000 percent in the last 20 years where 1 out 400 girls and 1 out of 100 boys is diagnosed. In my opinion, these numbers are a bit frightening. What began as a rare disorder that struck one child out of 10,000 has turned into a full blown epidemic where new cases are reported every day.

Even though the FDA continues to state that there is no connection between autism and vaccines and is dragging the time in giving an official medical cause for this disorder; here is some information on what is known so far about this heartbreaking epidemic.

Autism Related to Mercury Toxicity

• The first case of autism occurred in 1943 in America, twelve years after a mercury containing preservative called Thimerosal was added to the Pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine.
• In the 1950s, where there were only four recommended vaccines, the incidence of autism was 1 in 10,000 children.
• As the number of recommended vaccines increased, the incidence of autism began to increase as well.
• By 1981, every child that was vaccinated received 135 micrograms of mercury in vaccines. This increased the incidence of autism to 1 in 2600 children.
• In 1996, every child that was vaccinated received 246 micrograms of mercury in vaccines. This increased the incidence of autism to 1 in every 350 children.
• Today, 13 vaccines are recommended with varying numbers of booster shots. The incidence of autism now averages about 1 in every 250 children.
• Some physicians particularly blame the Hepatitis B vaccine, which at times is given within a few hours after a child is born. The vaccine exceeds the safe limit of mercury by 36 times which is extremely dangerous due to the fact that children do not have a well-developed immune system, and their nervous system is extremely vulnerable their first year of life.
• Today, a six-month-old child receives over 100 times the safe dose of mercury for their age.

Autism Related to Mother’s Health

• Most pregnant women are encouraged by their doctors to receive a flu shot during their pregnancy. Unfortunately, flu shots contain the mercury preservative, Thimerosal.
• 50 percent of autistic children’s mothers had received Rho Gam shots during their pregnancies which are given to women who have an Rh negative blood type and may be carrying an Rh positive baby. The shot unfortunately contains large amounts on mercury.
• Most illnesses and disorders begin at conception and continue after birth which means deficient diets, array of medications (according to the FDA are safe during pregnancy) and toxic chemical and radioactive exposures play a part in a child’s genetic development.

In addition to all of this, most recent research study has been conducted at the University of Pittsburgh where healthy infant monkeys were injected with the same amount of vaccines as an infant child. The results were quite disturbing. The study’s principle investigator, Laura Hewitson, reported that developmental delays, behavioral problems and brain changes in these macaque monkeys mimicked the same neurological abnormalities found in autism. This suggests, for the first time, that the closest animal to human anatomy develops the same characteristics of autism when exposed to vaccinations containing the mercury preservative Thimerosal.

While the Food and Drug Administration approves vaccinations as safe and effective and an advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the childhood immunization schedule to be adopted by all states, the overall health outcomes from the total vaccine load have yet to be examined.

Basically, even though we are told the autism epidemic is not linked to vaccines, the FDA has yet to back up their statements with some medical proof.
