Autism Declines As Vaccines Remove Mercury from NewsMax.com

A two-phased population epidemiological study of the safety of thimerosal-containing vaccines: a follow-up analysis.

That's their latest article that I could find on PubMed. Enter Geier DA, Geier MR into PubMed for an author search. It seems that area of interest is only adverse vaccine reactions. I would be more comfortable if other folks could replicate their results.

I will bet anything that he is working closely with a trial lawyer, who will later pay him very well as an expert witness as they dismantle what is left of the American vacine industry.

Agenda driven research - should be viewed with extreme skepticism.

It took the “scientific community” almost a decade to accept the fact that >90% of gastric ulcers are caused by the bacterium H. pylori.

Sadly, it’s taking much longer for this same “scientific community” to accept the fact that high levels of mercury in childhood vaccines may correlate with the explosion of childhood autism in the 1990’s. Fortunately, “common sense” prevailed (before conclusive scientific data was widely accepted) with the removal of thimerosal from most vaccines.

It is nearly impossible to get a true diganosis of autism now that the category has been broadened.

The boy who has been on TV for having scored all the three pointers in a basketball game certainly doesn't fit the description of the autistic boy we know.

Truly autistic children do not interact with others, they don't make eye contact, and they don't attend school, basketball games, nor play in them.

With the addition of the learning disabled, the retarded, and other disabilities added to the category of autistic there's no way to know the truth.

Personally, I do blame the vaccines which are now given before the baby leaves the hospital, overwhelming their immune system.

The study by two researchers was criticized by a government vaccination official who said it drew conclusions from unreliable data.

Usually it's the government that is doing that. Or enviro groups.

A father-son research team determined that new diagnoses of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders have dropped since then after analyzing data from the national Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, the U.S. Department of Education and the California Department of Developmental Services.

Additional doses of mercury-containing vaccines were associated with a 2- to 8-fold increase in risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, they wrote in the latest issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.

"Significant decreasing trends in newly diagnosed (disorders) were observed ... from mid-2002 through 2005," wrote Dr. Mark Geier and son, David. Mark Geier is president of the Genetic Centers of America and his son is a graduate student in biochemistry at George Washington University.

 

So, they used the VAERS database? What value is there in analyzing this database?  Read about the report submitted by a physician that the influenza vaccine turned him into The Incredible Hulk.  

Anecdotally, I received a call last fall from the CDC about a report we filed with the database about a child who got chickenpox after receiving Varivax vaccine IN 1996. It took them 9 years to follow up on the report.

This is the opposite of the results obtained in Denmark, where the incidence of autism actually continued to go up after the removal of thimerosal from vaccines. The jury is clearly still out.

A lot of lawyers are eying these studies with $$-signs in their eyes.

I did not allow my fourteen yr. old daughter to have any vaccines. She is very healthy. Of course we kept her immune system strong through good diet and activity.
