Just when the pharmaceutical industry thought the vaccine-autism controversy had been resolved, the National Vaccine Advisory Committee has recommended further study of vaccine safety. A perceived fear of the safety of the U.S. vaccination schedule has led increasing numbers of parents to opt out of full compliance. The numbers of children who are not fully vaccinated has now reached a point where “herd” immunity may be compromised, compelling the Centers for Disease Control to hold town-hall meetings and convene a Vaccine Safety Working Subgroup. Despite research ruling out mercury (Thimerosal) or the measles portion of one specific vaccine, autism continues to rise to a level of one in every 64 children in the UK.
The NVAC [1] draft report recommends further study of the potential for vaccines to contribute to autism in children who have underlying mitochondrial disease, a worthwhile study given the clinical history of such children developing autism after vaccinations (see [2] Poling case). What the NVAC has overlooked, however, in their recommendations, is that epidemic regressive autism is associated with the switch from using animal cells to produce vaccines to the use of aborted human fetal cells for vaccine production. Now when we vaccinate our children, some vaccines also deliver contaminating aborted human fetal DNA. The safety of this has never been tested.
Autism and autism spectrum disorder are polygenic diseases, meaning that multiple genes have been shown to be associated with these diseases. Studies have also clearly shown that there is an environmental component, a trigger, that is required. Vaccines are an obvious potential environmental trigger for autism because of the almost universal childhood exposure to vaccines in first world countries. The vaccine-autism connection was first hypothesized following the introduction of a new measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to the U.S. in 1979, with complete U.S. market share by 1983, and to the UK in 1988. Autism rates began to rise in the U.S. after 1979 and rose dramatically after 1983, and likewise rose in the UK after 1988, leading physicians to suspect a link. Initially, the measles component of this vaccine, MMR II, was suspected to be the culprit. Subsequent studies have also focused on the presence of mercury in vaccines, which incidentally, the MMR II vaccine did not contain.
Those studies have largely ruled out the new measles portion of the MMR II or mercury as the environmental trigger for autism. However, the compelling temporal association between this new MMR vaccine and autism cannot be ignored or explained away. What has been ignored is the fact that this new MMR vaccine introduced the use of aborted fetal cells for vaccine production. At one point, as much as 94 percent of children in the U.S. and 98 percent of children in the UK were given this vaccine.
Today, more than 23 vaccines are contaminated by the use of aborted fetal cells. There is no law that requires that consumers be informed that some vaccines are made using aborted fetal cells and contain residual aborted fetal DNA. While newer vaccines produced using aborted fetal cells do inform consumers, in their package inserts, that the vaccines contain contaminating DNA from the cell used to produce the vaccine, they do not identify the cells as being derived from electively aborted human fetuses.
In other words, they tell you what is in the vaccine, but they don’t fully inform you where it came from. The earliest aborted fetal cell-produced vaccines such as Meruvax (rubella) and MMR II do not even inform consumers that the vaccines contain contaminating DNA from the cell used to produce them. Furthermore, it is unconscionable that the public-health risk of injecting our children with residual contaminating human aborted fetal DNA has been ignored.
How could the contaminating aborted fetal DNA create problems? It creates the potential for autoimmune responses and/or inappropriate insertion into our own genomes through a process called recombination. There are groups researching the potential link between this DNA and autoimmune diseases such as juvenile (type I) diabetes, multiple sclerosis and lupus. Our organization, [3] Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute (SCPI), is focused on studying the quantity, characteristics and genomic recombination of the aborted fetal DNA found in many of our vaccines.
Preliminary bioinformatics research conducted at SCPI indicates that “hot spots” for DNA recombination are found in nine autism-associated genes present on the X chromosome. These nine genes are involved in nerve-cell synapse formation, central nervous system development and mitochondrial function.
Could genomic insertion of the aborted fetal DNA, found in some of our childhood vaccines since 1979, be an environmental trigger for autism? Could the fact that genes critical for nerve synapse formation and nervous system development are found on the X chromosome provide some explanation of why autism is predominantly a disease found in boys? Could the “hot spots” identified in these autism-associated genes be sites for insertion of contaminating aborted fetal DNA?
These questions must be answered, and quickly. Recent literature suggests that autism spectrum disorder may now impact one out of every 100 children. The pharmaceutical industry is also currently moving to replace more animal-produced vaccines with aborted-fetal-cell production and also to produce biologic drugs using aborted fetal cells.
The practice of using aborted fetal cells for vaccine and drug production creates wrenching moral dilemmas for parents and consumers, ignores informed consent rights, and exposes our children and ourselves to contaminants lacking safety evaluations. We cannot ignore this issue in good conscience, and we cannot afford to wait.

Soylent vaccine, instead of soylent green?
Autism is genetic folks... first it was mercury in vaccines is the cause.. and so the mercury was removed, has been gone for 10 years, yet autism rates continue to climb.
Its genetic, I pray they find therapy and treatment, but its clearly genetic.
If a couple has an autistic child, the liklihood of them having another autistic child is 1 in 5. There is a clear genetic link here folks.
Could something in the environment trigger those genetically succeptible? Possibly, but its underlying issue is genetic.
And for the second time I post this information. This has already been covered extensively in another post. It is not only factually wrong it is nothing more than propaganda for a misguided agenda
Correlation is NOT causality. “aborted cells” makes it sound like newly aborted babies are used in the creation of the vaccines. This is patently FALSE.
“I believe Rubella component of MMR vaccine was originally sourced from aborted fetuses. I have an ethical problem with this. Is this true?”
Rubella vaccine, including that used in MMR vaccine is produced by growing it in a cell culture called MRC5.
The rubella vaccine was developed from a fetus obtained from a single termination of pregnancy carried out on medical grounds in 1966. The rubella virus used in the vaccine was isolated from a different fetus terminated in the 1960s in the United States because the fetus had congenital rubella. No further fetal material has ever been used for rubella vaccine manufacture.
The rigorous purification process during manufacture removes all trace of the cells in which the vaccine was grown and so the rubella vaccine contains no human fetal tissue.
“There is no question of any new fetal tissue being used in making this vaccine, or of those involved in the termination profiting in any way.
All rubella vaccine is manufactured in this way.”(http://www.mmrthefacts.nhs.uk/questions/question.php?id=83)
Now you can scream all you want and call conspiracy and everything else. BUT please at least use the correct information
“Today, more than 23 vaccines are contaminated by the use of aborted fetal cells.”
This is incredible. My 18 yr. old daughter has never been vaccinated and she is extremely healthy. Do not get vaccinated!
I thimk the prevelence of auto-immune disease among mothers of Autistic children plays an even bigger role.
And the rates of autism continue to climb NOT because the actual incidence has increased, but for several other reasons:
1. The diagnostic criteria have been drastically expanded. "Autism" used to mean only children who were completely nonverbal and noncommunicative and spent all day rocking or banging their heads against a wall. They were usually classified as "retarded" and institutionalized. Now "autism" has been expanded to "autism spectrum disorder" and "Asperger's" and includes kids who are socially inept and oblivious to nonverbal cues, 'loners', or just what we used to call geeky. So there are thousands of children being diagnosed as "autistic" who would never have been under the old criteria. My second child is almost certainly 'autistic' and definitely 'Asperger's' under these loose definitions, but we refused the diagnosis because it would follow him forever.
2. Federal money is allocated both through the schools and SSI for a diagnosis of autism. Pay for something, you'll get more of it -- aside from outright fraud, there is overt and covert pressure on doctors to make a diagnosis that will get the parents some financial help.
3. It's probably inherited, not only because the chances increase substantially for subsequent siblings of an autistic child to have the condition as well, but also because 'geek on geek' marriages produce more autistic children. Hence the mini-epidemic of autism in Silicon Valley. And I say this as a geek (albeit the liberal arts sort of geek) married to a geek.
Its genetic...... in your opinion.
You have a definite genetic predisposition to hip dysplasia, which is why they have the OFA and PennHip registries to certify dogs before you can breed them.
But overfeeding and lack of exercise in puppies and young dogs is the triggering factor. I know numerous dogs who Xray bad who have never been symptomatic -- they are all working dogs, very lean and muscular and in hard condition.
The author clearly has no interest in using correct information, nor is anyone who is reposting this material interested in correct information — might as well not bother trying to interest them in facts. The author is clearly looking to use wild scare stories to promote her own business.
The problem is that most people see correlation as causation, and the symptoms of autism happen to begin to manifest themselves right around the time kids are getting their MMR series.
My older child had a horrible reaction to the 2nd MMR -- very high fever, vomiting, the works. She is healthy as a horse and starting her senior year at a good college.
Again,
I have already ceded that environmental factors may exacerbate the disorder, but there is little doubt at this point that the underlying cause is genetic. I believe we won’t find one single “autism gene” per se, but will likely find that it is a combination of genetic markers in combination that lead to the disorder, as well as the extremely wide range of functional issues that come with it.
I don't believe that for a minute.

Using dysplasia as an example, the condition is still there even in asymptomatic dogs (it shows up on Xray) but there are no symptoms.
Generations go by so much faster in dogs, you can see things developing more easily.
Yup. I guess I had hoped for better at FR. SOmetimes it is just too much fun to keep the misinformation going, I guess. IF what they were claiming was true then I would be more sympathetic and understanding but the nuttiness that goes along with the “cause” is a bit much sometimes
Rabies vaccine is also fetal cell derived.
