Autism and VaccinesWhat is the Definition of Autism?
To learn about your legal rights to refuse a vaccination, you might want to read Attorney Alan Phillips' book, Vaccine Legal Exemptions What is autism? Autism is a complex disorder, affecting the brain and, in turn, affecting the behaviors of a person who has it. For example, autistic children often won't give you eye contact and they have trouble being part of a conversation. Often they repeat behaviors over and over. Sometimes they compulsively do something (like line objects up in a row) before they feel that they can do something else. Autistic children may use physical behaviors (like flapping hands or jumping up and down) to express emotions—instead of talking or telling you how they feel. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), like many other disorders, can be seen as being in a range. Some children develop a mild case (sometimes seen as ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) while others develop severe cases of autism. CDC Position on Autism and VaccinesThe CDC's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring network found that about 1 in 150 children have an ASD (statistics can be seen on the CDC website). That's quite a few more than we were seeing, even as recently as the 1990s.On their website, the CDC states that, although "some parents" believe that there is an association between thimerosal and autism, there is no scientific evidence to back this. But, is this really true? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. doesn't think so... Government Cover-up on ThimerosalRobert F Kennedy, Jr., son of Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy disagrees with the U.S. government.Kennedy is an attorney specializing in environmental law and co-host of Ring of Fire on the Air American Radio network. This video, an interview on MSNBC of Robert Kennedy Jr., talks about the U.S. government knowledge of autism and thimerosal and the harm being done to children by the mercury (400 times the safe level for children) in thimerosal, used in vaccines. Kennedy believes that there is a definite relationship between autism and vaccines.

Vaccines Causing Autism
According to Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD, there is another issue to consider—timing. He reports that, “Giving too many vaccines over too short a time to infants whose nervous system is not yet fully developed can also trigger autism and its spectrum of disorders.” |
