Infant Monkeys Given Standard Doses of Vaccines Develop Autism Symptoms












Infant Vaccines Produce Autism Symptoms in New Primate Study by University Of Pittsburgh Scientists
Routine Safety Study That Government Scientists Refused to Do Illustrates Vaccine Program and Mercury Health RisksAtlanta, GA:
Findings released today showed that infant monkeys given vaccines
officially recommended by the CDC and the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) exhibited autism-like symptoms. Lead investigator
Laura Hewitson of the University of Pittsburgh and colleagues presented
study results at the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR)
in London. Safety studies of medicines are typically conducted in
monkeys prior to use in humans, yet such basic research on the current
childhood vaccination regimen has never before been done.

The abstracts presented at IMFAR, the world’s top autism science
conference, describe biological changes and altered behavior in
vaccinated macaques that are similar to those observed in children with
autism. Unvaccinated animals showed no such adverse outcomes. The
vaccines given were those recommended for U.S. infants in the 1990s,
including several with the mercury preservative thimerosal and the
Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine. Rates of autism spectrum disorder among
children born in the 1990s surged dramatically, from about 1 in 5,000 to
1 in 150 children.

“This research underscores the critical need for more investigation
into immunizations, mercury, and the alterations seen in autistic
children,” stated Lyn Redwood, director of SafeMinds. “SafeMinds calls
for large scale, unbiased studies that look at autism medical conditions
and the effects of vaccines given as a regimen.”

The group’s request for research echoes that of Dr. Bernadine Healy,
Former NIH Director, in a CBS interview earlier this week. She asserted
that public health officials have been too quick to dismiss an
autism-vaccine connection when the research has been insufficient. The
government recently conceded a federal vaccine court case which agreed
that a child regressed into autism as a result of 9 vaccines given on
one day.

“The full implications of this primate study await publication of the
research in a scientific journal,” noted Theresa Wrangham, president of
SafeMinds. “But we can say that it demonstrates how the CDC evaded
their responsibility to investigate vaccine safety questions. Vaccine
safety oversight should be removed from the CDC and given to an
independent agency.”
