Autism and Vaccines: The Story is Always the Same
with Comments by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny
The greatest of medical detectives, the most loving of parents and the most genius of scientists can't seem to unravel the world of autism and the mystery of what may cause it. Now growing numbers of parents and doctors are declaring war to help find answers for the millions not yet touched by it.
As we searched for answers, we met some young warriors in the fight to defy science and stereotypes: Students of Miami's pioneering Victory School. Some of their parents share the nightmare Rick Blackburn lives. His son showed common symptoms of the onset of autism within days of getting vaccinated and was near death at only 18 months.
"We immediately took him to the emergency room and they couldn't do anything about the high fever, listlessness and the vomiting so they admitted him. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him and they were warning us that he may perish. That he was not going to make it," said Blackburn.
What followed was chilling.
"What really was amazing was that we started running across parents in large numbers with the same exact story," said Blackburn
That's no surprise says, pediatrician, Dr. Eric Ryndland who is considered one of the nations foremost experts on autism and controversial in his public concerns over what he considers a potential safety risk of vaccines for some children and the urgent need he says for all parents to take charge of the decision to vaccinate or not.
When asked if the decision to vaccinate or not could put a child in danger, Ryndland responded, "Absolutely. The vaccines sometimes are the straw that breaks the camel's back. The question is if the immune system is overloaded with too many vaccines over too short a period of time, or sometimes, in some cases where children are very susceptible, even one vaccine might cause a problem."
Rydland says there are many theories of why the mercury based preservative thimerisol captured headlines and was, according to the CDC, removed at their request from most childhood vaccines. Ryndland says it might not be the mercury but injections of multiple viruses into young children who may have compromised immune systems that could present a possible risk of triggering a variety of neurological problems.
The CDC reports that no link has been found between the common measles, mumps and rubella Vaccines and neurological disorders.
Frank Maye treats hundreds of autistic children and says he is haunted by the faces of parents struggling with the horror of the so-called lost children. As a former Miami-Dade detective turned holistic clinician, he is in the investigation of his life, trying to determine if there is a link between children getting vaccinated and autism, which he says is presenting in high numbers at the 18-month mark. "To me there are too many kids that have come in that have regressed at 18 months for it not to be something for us to look at," said Maye.
He confirmed that 80% of children diagnosed with autism develop problems at 18 months of age, and not at birth--a percentile he found shocking. "Absolutely shocking. We need to do something that is going to investigate that 18-month aspect and come up with and answer. I've looked all over the country. The pattern seems to be that the children that have a problem around 18-months have reacted to every vaccination whether they have had a 101 fever for about 24 hours and it has gone away," said Maye.
Again, the CDC reports there is no link between autism and vaccines but that its major study into this is due out next year.
COMMENT: If it was negligence or ignorance, the CDC, the FDA, the IOM, and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) would at least occasionally err on the side of parents and admit that at least some children become autistic after vaccination.
But the stanch, uniform and steel-hard agreement that there is NO POSSIBLE LINK between vaccines and autism increases the suspicion about a cover-up and lessens the trust in those persons who make the decisions. Remember that humans make those decisions, not institutions.
How can those humans remain so completely disconnected from the rest of our society? Is it arrogance? Is it to protect their reputations? Is it that they simply do not want to admit that they have been wrong? Or, is it like most areas of concern in this country...is it really about money?
Nearly 32% of the CDC's annual $8.2billion budget is allocated to vaccines....and CDC members, such as Dr. Walter Oreinstein and the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP) are complaining that it isn't enough and many more billions are needed to ensure that we are all vaccinated.
If you think that you are past having to worry about vaccines because your children are already in school, think again. In May, 2007, the CDC announced its new initiative called "The Promise and Challenge of Adolescent Immunization." Your teens are now in the cross-hairs of the vaccine manufacturers and considered "untapped market share."
For example, Menactra, the college meningitis vaccine, focused on specific risk groups. The new recommendation will be routine vaccination of all adolescents 11 through 18 years of age, even though FDA has issued a warning that this vaccine can caused Guillian-Barre syndrome. All teens will now be at risk of contracting this deadly complication.
Here's a sampling of what is under development for Teen Vaccines:

Here's a sampling of what is under development for Teen Vaccines:
- Modifications in the adolescent health care infrastructure to support the additional needs generated by new vaccines. [fabricating need is implied~ST]
- Standardization and clarification of consent laws for the administration of vaccinations to minors. [Changing laws to enforce vaccination ~ST]
- Creation of novel communication strategies to facilitate information dissemination to the parents, guardians and the adolescents themselves on the importance of immunization. [Develop propaganda pieces to scare parents into vaccinating ~ ST]
- Generation of financial strategies for the public and private sector to make administration of immunizations to adolescents financially viable to patients and providers. [New vaccines are going to be more than $100 per dose, the CDC is calling for more government funding and more insurance dollars to pay for vaccines, making insurance even more expensive.~ST]
- Development of long-term surveillance strategies to assess vaccination coverage, and vaccine impact among adolescents.
Ready to revolt?
Join the Coalition Against Mandatory Vaccination, an initiative I am spearheading through The American Association for Health Freedom. We need a million voices/members by June 1, 2008 to push back against the plans of these bureaucrats.
Those who are joining the Movement come from a wide range of backgrounds, including those who are in favor of vaccines. Even those who choose to vaccinate do not want to be forced to be medicated by judges and police or be injected in the presence of patrolling police dogs. We are speaking out about the #1 health freedom issue that still remains in this country: The right to refuse being injected with substances that can cause harm.
More information will be forth coming in January. For now, please join with your email at www.DrTenpenny.com or join the the American Association for Health Freedom now (for $50) at www.HealthFreedom.net
thank you DR TENPENNY...PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER OF VACCINATIONS.A TEAM CONSISTING OF DRS AND NON DRS SHOULD GATHER THE DATA ...REVIEW IT AND PREPARE A PRESENTATION LIKE YOU WOULD TO A COURT......MY WEBSITE IS www.mayeholisticmed.com
