‘Center For Disease Control\u00a0held meeting of vaccine scientists to deliberately destroy evidence linking vaccines to autism’ — Alternative News Headline<\/span><\/h2>\n

SOTN Editor’s Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n

That CDC scientists and physicians have been identified in a real government conspiracy to destroy evidence “linking vaccines to autism” ought to come as no surprise. \u00a0Actually, the real surprise is that a CDC whistleblower stepped forward and revealed the details of such a massive and ongoing scandal. \u00a0However, the Pharmaceutical Industry simply makes too much money from the mandatory childhood vaccination programs to allow this setback to affect their vaccine revenues.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it’s imperative that the parents and children of America know that what the CDC did and didn’t do (aka crimes of commission and crimes of omission) represents extremely serious criminal conduct. \u00a0 The Center for Disease Control blatantly violated the public trust by the willful destruction of such evidence. \u00a0Performing their official duties in such a reckless and illicit manner constitutes a flagrant contravention of their legislated mission. \u00a0In so doing, CDC medical professionals made a complete mockery of the Hippocratic Oath<\/em> — “First, do no harm<\/em>“<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not only did the CDC not make an effort to “control disease” in regard to the vaccine-autism connection , they went out of their way to cause a major multi-decade disease outbreak and then contribute to its unimpeded advancement. \u00a0What else can be said about such outrageous criminal conduct except that it has undermined what very little faith the citizenry ever had in the U.S. Federal Government.<\/p>\n

Certainly the CDC’s institutional behavior represents a profound and irreparable breach of the social contract. \u00a0The traditional overseer of the nation’s public health crises can no longer be trusted and ought to be shut down post haste … until it can be re-established under a new charter\u00a0and\u00a0with entirely new management.<\/p>\n

Those CDC officials who are responsible for these crimes of physical and psychological \u00a0injury against the American people ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. \u00a0Governmental immunity is no defense for such heinous crimes systematically and surreptitiously perpetrated against the children of this nation.<\/p>\n

CDC Scientist: \u2018We scheduled meeting to destroy vaccine-autism study documents\u2019<\/h1>\n

A current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) senior scientist has made an unprecedented admission: he and his colleagues\u2013he says\u2013 committed scientific misconduct to cover up a meaningful link between vaccines and autism in black boys.<\/p>\n

Just as startling, the CDC scientist, Dr. William Thompson, says the study co-authors \u201cscheduled a meeting to destroy documents related to the study. The remaining four co-authors all met and brought a big garbage can into the meeting room, and reviewed and went through all the hardcopy documents that we had thought we should discard, and put them into a huge garbage can.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u2026co-authors\u2026brought a big garbage can into the meeting room\u2026 [and put the documents]\u2026into a huge garbage can. \u2013CDC Senior Scientist Dr. William Thompson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite this whistleblower testimony, which Dr. Thompson provided to Rep. Bill Posey, R-Florida, there is little chance of a meaningful hearing or investigation.<\/p>\n

\"Rep.<\/a><\/p>\n

In an untainted news environment,\u00a0the allegations\u00a0would make headlines in most\u00a0legitimate publications and would trigger\u00a0federal inquiries. However, the interests of the powerful pharmaceutical industry reach deeply into Congress and the news media through lobbyists, propaganda and advertising dollars.<\/p>\n

The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. \u2013CDC Senior Scientist Dr. William Thompson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That\u2019s why Congressman Posey resorted to simply reading some of Dr. Thompson\u2019s statement today on the House floor\u2026including the part in which Dr. Thompson says he retained the evidence that had been thrown in the garbage can, in the unlikely event that a neutral investigative or scientific body would like to see it today.<\/p>\n

\u201c[B]ecause I assumed it was illegal and would violate both FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] and DOJ [Department of Justice] requests, I kept hardcopies of all documents in my office, and I retain all associated computer files,\u201d Posey quotes Dr. Thompson as reporting.<\/p>\n

The CDC and Thompson\u2019s co-author Dr. Frank DeStefano, CDC Director of Immunization Safety, have defended the controversial study as originally published. Dr. DeStefano explains why here<\/a>\u00a0in detail.<\/p>\n

One final note: Rep. Posey unequivocally states that he is pro-vaccine. However, the propaganda campaign typically falsely portrays anyone who addresses vaccine safety issues as \u201canti-vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n

CDC: Possibility that vaccines rarely trigger autism<\/a><\/p>\n

Rep. Posey\u2019s entire statement about Dr. Thompson:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI rise today on matters of scientific integrity and research. To begin with, I am absolutely, resolutely, pro-vaccine. Advancements in medical immunization have saved countless and greatly benefitted public health. That being said, it\u2019s troubling to me that in a recent Senate hearing on childhood vaccinations, it was never mentioned that our government has paid out over $3 billion through a vaccine injury compensation program for children who have been injured by vaccinations.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegardless of the subject matter, parents making decisions about their children\u2019s health deserve to have the best information available to them. They should be able to count on federal agencies to tell them the truth. For these reasons, I bring the following matter to the House floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn August 2014, Dr. William Thompson, a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, worked with a whistleblower attorney to provide my office with documents related to a 2004 CDC study that examined the possibility of a relationship between [the] mumps, measles, rubella vaccine and autism. In a statement released in August, 2014, Dr. Thompson stated, \u2018I regret that my co-authors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Speaker, I respectfully request the following excepts from the statement written by Dr. Thompson be entered into the record.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow quoting Dr. Thompson.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018My primary job duties while working in the immunization safety branch from 2000 to 2006, were to later co-lead three major vaccine safety studies. The MADDSP, MMR autism cases control study was being carried out in response to the Wakefield-Lancet study that suggested an association between the MMR vaccine and an autism-like health outcome. There were several major concerns among scientists and consumer advocates outside the CDC in the fall of 2000, regarding the execution of the Verstraeten Study. One of the important goals that was determined up front, in the spring of 2001, before any of these studies started, was to have all three protocols vetted outside the CDC prior to the start of the analyses so consumer advocates could not claim that we were presenting analyses that suited our own goals and biases. We hypothesized that if we found statistically significant effects at either 18 or 36 month thresholds, we would conclude that vaccinating children early with MMR vaccine could lead to autism-like characteristics or features. We all met and finalized the study protocol and analysis plan. The goal was to not deviate from the analysis plan to avoid the debacle that occurred with the Verstraeten thimerosal study published in Pediatrics in 2003.<\/p>\n

\u2018At the Sept 5th meeting we discussed in detail how to code race for both the sample and the birth certificate sample. At the bottom of table 7, it also shows that for the non-birth certificate sample, the adjusted race effect statistical significance was huge.<\/p>\n

\u2018All the authors and I met and decided sometime between August and September 2002, not to report any race effects from the paper. Sometime soon after the meeting, we decided to exclude reporting any race effects. The co-authors scheduled a meeting to destroy documents related to the study. The remaining four co-authors all met and brought a big garbage can into the meeting room, and reviewed and went through all the hardcopy documents that we had thought we should discard, and put them into a huge garbage can. However, because I assumed it was illegal and would violate both FOIA and DOJ requests, I kept hardcopies of all documents in my office, and I retain all associated computer files. I believe we intentionally withheld controversial findings from the final draft of the Pediatrics paper.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Speaker, I believe it is our duty to insure that the documents that Dr. Thompson are not ignored. Therefore I will provide them to members of Congress and the House Committees upon request. Considering the nature of the whistleblower\u2019s documents as well as the involvement of the CDC, a hearing and a thorough investigation is warranted.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I ask, Mr. Speaker, I beg, I implore my colleagues on the appropriations committees to please, please take such action.\u201d<\/p>\n
