Infant Primates Given Vaccines On U.S. Children's Immunization Schedule Develop Behavioral Symptoms Of Autism

A primate model for autism
using the U.S. children's immunization schedule was unveiled at the
International Meeting For Autism Research (IMFAR) this weekend. The
research underscores the critical need for studies into vaccine safety and
the immune and mitochondrial dysfunction of autistic children. The National
Autism Association (NAA) questions why the government hasn't undertaken
these vital studies and why researchers have had to depend on private money
to perform this critical science that will surely impact the health of
millions of children worldwide.


While the authors and organizations associated with this study are
withholding comment until publication, University of Pittsburgh's Dr. Laura
Hewitson, Ph.D., described at the IMFAR meeting how vaccinated animals,
when compared to unvaccinated animals, showed significant
neurodevelopmental deficits and "significant associations between specific
aberrant social and non-social behaviors, isotope binding, and vaccine
exposure."



Researchers also reported at the scientific meeting that "vaccinated
animals exhibited progressively severe chronic active inflammation whereas
unexposed animals did not" and found "many significant differences in the
GI tissue gene expression profiles between vaccinated and unvaccinated
animals." Gastrointestinal issues are a common symptom of children with
regressive autism.



NAA calls for the NIH to conduct large scale, non-epidemiological
studies into the biomedical symptoms surrounding young children and all
vaccines, including those containing the mercury-based preservative
thimerosal and other additives like aluminum.



This request for further research echoes that of Dr. Bernadine Healy,
Former NIH Director in a CBS interview earlier this week. "I think public
health officials have been too quick to dismiss the hypothesis as
'irrational,' without sufficient studies of causation... without studying
the population that got sick," Healy said. "I have not seen major studies
that focus on 300 kids who got autistic symptoms within a period of a few
weeks of the vaccines."



Recently the government's vaccine court conceded the case of Hannah
Poling, admitting that vaccines triggered her regression into autism by
exacerbating mitochondrial dysfunction. "The recent Poling case and this
new research provide further evidence that the CDC has fallen down on their
job to protect children from harm. The biomedical research to date suggests
that parental reports of regression following vaccination is not only
plausible, but likely in certain individuals," said Scott Bono, NAA
Chairman. "To date, the CDC has conducted no safety testing on the possible
harmful effects of simultaneously administering multiple vaccines to
infants, and has steadfastly refused to state a preference for mercury-free
vaccines to be given to children and pregnant women. It's time for HHS and
Congress to step in and take vaccine safety away from the CDC."



On June 4th, parents of vaccine-injured children will rally for
toxin-free immunizations in Washington, DC. For more information visit
