Vaccine bombshell: Baby monkeys given standard doses of popular vaccines develop autism symptoms








(NaturalNews) If vaccines play absolutely no role in the development of
childhood autism, a claim made by many medical authorities today, then
why are some of the most popular vaccines commonly administered to
children demonstrably causing autism in animal primates? This is the
question many people are now asking after a recent study conducted by
scientists at the University of Pittsburgh (UP) in Pennsylvania
revealed that many of the infant monkeys given standard doses of
childhood vaccines as part of the new research developed autism
symptoms.

For their analysis, Laura Hewitson and her colleagues at UP conducted
the type of proper safety research on typical childhood vaccination
schedules that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) should have conducted -- but never has -- for such regimens. And
what this brave team discovered was groundbreaking, as it completely
deconstructs the mainstream myth that vaccines are safe and pose no risk
of autism.

Presented at the International Meeting for Autism Research
(IMFAR) in London, England, the findings revealed that young macaque
monkeys given the typical CDC-recommended vaccination schedule from the
1990s, and in appropriate doses for the monkeys' sizes and ages, tended
to develop autism symptoms. Their unvaccinated counterparts, on the
other hand, developed no such symptoms, which points to a strong
connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders.

Included in the mix were several vaccines containing the toxic additive
Thimerosal, a mercury-based compound that has been phased out of some
vaccines, but is still present in batch-size influenza vaccines and a
few others. Also administered was the controversial measles, mumps, and
rubella (MMR) vaccine, which has been linked time and time again to
causing autism and various other serious, and often irreversible, health
problems in children (http://www.greenhealthwatch.com)

"This research underscores the critical need for more investigation
into immunizations, mercury, and the alterations seen in autistic
children," said Lyn Redwood, director of SafeMinds, a public
safety group working to expose the truth about vaccines and autism.
"SafeMinds calls for large scale, unbiased studies that look at autism
medical conditions and the effects of vaccines given as a regimen."



Vaccine oversight needs to be taken from CDC and given to independent agency, says vaccine safety advocate

Adding to the sentiment, Theresa Wrangham, president of SafeMinds
called out the CDC for failing to require proper safety studies of its
recommended vaccination schedules. Unlike all other drugs, which must
at least undergo a basic round of safety testing prior to approval and
recommendation, vaccinations and vaccine schedules in particular do not
have to be proven safe or effective before hitting the market.

"The full implications of this primate study await publication of the
research in a scientific journal," said Wrangham. "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."
