After
decades of passionate debate, parents probably missed the repeated admissions
by drug companies and governments alike that vaccines do in fact cause autism.
For concerned parents seeking the truth, it’s worth remembering that the exact
same people who own the world’s drug companies also own America’s news outlets.
Finding propaganda-free information has been difficult, until now.
Dr. Andrew Wakefield
At
the center of the fifteen-year controversy is Dr. Andrew Wakefield of Austin,
Texas. It was Dr. Wakefield that first publicized the link between stomach
disorders and autism, and taking the findings one step further, the link
between stomach disorders, autism and the Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine.
For
that discovery way back in 1996, and a subsequent research paper published by
the doctor in 1998, Andrew Wakefield has found himself the victim of a
world-wide smear campaign by drug corporations, governments and media
companies. And while Dr. Wakefield has been persecuted and prosecuted to the
extent of being unable to legally practice medicine because of his discovery,
he has instead become a best-selling author, the founder of the Strategic Autism
Initiative, and the Director of the Autism Media Channel.
But
in recent months, courts, governments and vaccine manufacturers have quietly
conceded the fact that the Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine most likely does
cause autism and stomach diseases. Pharmaceutical companies have even gone so
far as to pay out massive monetary awards, totaling in the millions, to the
victims in an attempt to compensate them for damages and to buy their silence.
Grassroots outcry
It
was a regular reader named Kathleen that brought this ongoing story to our
attention here at Whiteout Press. When asked what her connection to the
vaccine-autism battle was, the young reader replied, “I just researched it for
a school project a while back and then I stayed on top of it, until I couldn’t
stand it anymore. I’m not a parent, nor do I belong to any organization – a
mere outside observer.”
This
reader isn’t alone. The news that vaccines cause autism has spread across the
US despite a coordinated media black-out. She takes her concerns one step
further explaining, “All I want is to see this information where the public can
access it. I’ve looked everywhere, and no one gives this dire Wakefield
situation even ONE small mention.” She goes on to give us another motivation
for her activism, “In Washington State, where I’m from, vaccines have become
mandatory for school children, which is very frightening!”
Landmark rulings
In
December 2012, two landmark decisions were announced that confirmed Dr.
Wakefield’s original concern that there is a link between the MMR vaccine,
autism and stomach disorders. The news went mostly unreported, but independent
outlets like The Liberty Beacon finally began publishing the groundbreaking
news.
The
website wrote last month, ‘In a recently published December 13, 2012 vaccine
court ruling, hundreds of thousands of dollars were awarded to Ryan Mojabi,
whose parents described how “MMR vaccinations” caused a “severe and
debilitating injury to his brain, diagnosed as Autism Spectrum Disorder
(‘ASD’).”’
The
Liberty Beacon went on to describe the second court ruling that month, as well
as similar previous verdicts writing, ‘Later the same month, the government
suffered a second major defeat when young Emily Moller from Houston won
compensation following vaccine-related brain injury that, once again, involved
MMR and resulted in autism. The cases follow similar successful petitions in
the Italian and US courts (including Hannah Poling, Bailey Banks, Misty Hyatt,
Kienan Freeman, Valentino Bocca, and Julia Grimes) in which the governments
conceded or the court ruled that vaccines had caused brain injury. In turn,
this injury led to an ASD diagnosis. MMR vaccine was the common denominator in
these cases.’
The
report echoes the exact same sentiment that our reader conveyed – Dr. Wakefield
has had his career and reputation destroyed over the past 15 years, but has
just been vindicated. The account reports, ‘While repeated studies from around
the world confirmed Wakefield’s bowel disease in autistic children and his position
that safety studies of the MMR are inadequate, Dr. Wakefield ’s career has been
destroyed by false allegations. Despite
this he continues to work tirelessly to help solve the autism catastrophe.’
The
article from The Liberty Beacon closes with a direct quote from Dr. Wakefield
himself to the independent grassroots outlet, “There can be very little doubt
that vaccines can and do cause autism. In these children, the evidence for an
adverse reaction involving brain injury following the MMR that progresses to an
autism diagnosis is compelling. It’s now a question of the body count. The
parents’ story was right all along. Governments must stop playing with words
while children continue to be damaged. My hope is that recognition of the
intestinal disease in these children will lead to the relief of their
suffering. This is long, long overdue.”
Wakefield attacked again
Since
the world has slowly become aware of the dangers of the MMR vaccine, parents
around the globe have refused to get their children vaccinated. Earlier this
year, the UK government singled out Dr. Wakefield and blamed him for the rising
number of measles outbreaks in the country. In an April 2013 interview, he
responded publicly.
The
website TheRefusers.com published both the video, as well as the written
transcript, of Dr. Wakefield’s public response. Below are some excerpts of the
doctor’s remarks:
“The
important thing to say is that back in 1996-1997 I was made aware of children
developing autism, regressive autism, following exposure in many cases to the
measles mumps rubella vaccine. Such was my concern about the safety of that
vaccine that I went back and reviewed every safety study, every pre-licensing
study of the MMR vaccine and other measles-containing vaccines before they were
put into children and after. And I was appalled with the quality of that
science. It really was totally below par and that has been reiterated by other
authoritative sources since.
All
I could do as a parent was to say, ‘what would I do for my child?’ That was the
only honest answer I could give. My position on that has not changed. So, what
happened subsequently? At that time the single measles vaccines were available
freely on the National Health Service. Otherwise, I would not have suggested
that option. So parents, if they were
legitimately concerned about the safety of MMR could go and get the single
vaccines. Six months later, the British
government unilaterally withdrew the importation license for the single
vaccines, therefore depriving parents of having these on the NHS; depriving
parents who had legitimate concerns
about the safety of MMR from a choice; denying them the opportunity to
protect their children in the way that they saw fit.
The news shouldn’t be left wing or right wing, conservative
or liberal. It should be the news. It should be independent – Whiteout Press
And
I was astonished by this and I said to Dr Elizabeth Miller of the Health
Protection Agency, ‘why would you do this, if your principal concern is to
protect children from serious infectious disease? Why would you remove an
option from parents who are legitimately concerned about the safety of MMR?’
And her answer was extraordinary. She said to me, ‘if we allow parents the
option of single vaccines, it would destroy our MMR program.’ In other words,
her principal concern seemed to be full protection of the MMR program and not
protection of children.”
Dr.
Wakefield himself reiterates the final conclusion of the courts in various
countries, but censored by the world’s media outlets saying:
“Now
this question has been answered not by me, but by the courts, by the vaccine
courts in Italy and in the United States of America where it appears that many
children over the last thirty years have been awarded millions of dollars for
the fact that they have been brain-damaged by MMR vaccine and other vaccines
and that brain damage has led to autism. That is a fact.”
