Full statement by MMR scare doctor Andrew Wakefield: ‘The Government has tried to cover up putting price before children’s health’#Vaccines#ASD#iBelieve

In the wake of further media distortion, misrepresentation, and ignorance in relation to the measles outbreak in Wales, it is important to clarify some key facts.In 1998, following an analysis of all published pre-licensing studies of MMR vaccine safety I recommended the use of single measles vaccine in preference to MMR. This remains my position.    

At that time, in contrast with the false assertions of many commentators, including Richard Horton, Editor of The Lancet, and vaccine millionaire Paul Offit, the single vaccines were licensed in the UK and freely available to the British public.

While MMR vaccination uptake fell from February 1998, there was a reciprocal increase in the uptake of the single vaccines – a fact that is never acknowledged in the press…

Autism Speaks Flip-Flops on Vaccines and Autism, Walks Away From Prevention

The Focus Autism Foundation Investigates Autism Speaks’ Shifting Stance on Vaccine Safety Research     

WATCHUNG, N.J., July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — There was a time when the world’s largest autism charity strongly urged the U.S. government to examine the possibility of a vaccine-autism link. “We believe that the question of whether immunization is associated with an increased risk for ASD [Autism Spectrum Disorder] is of extremely high priority” wrote Dr. Geraldine Dawson, former Chief Science Officer for Autism Speaks, in a 3000-word letter to the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) of Health and Human Services. She also warned: “Recent studies point to a key role of the immune system in the biology of ASD, raising questions about the effects of the significant immune challenges associated with vaccinations, particularly when delivered in combination and early in life.” That same year (2009), Autism Speaks advocated for federal dollars to be spent on vaccine safety research.

That was then. This is now. Autism Speaks has flip-flopped on vaccines, disregarding studies that show a link to autism, and even recommending children with autism be vaccinated with the flu shot (with no warning that most flu shots contain 25 mcgs. of mercury). Over 100 studies show a link between the mercury-based vaccine preservative thimerosal and neurological harm including autism, yet Autism Speaks actively promotes the Center for Disease Control (CDC)’s denial of thimerosal’s risks…
