(1) Do WE, THE PEOPLE realize that Sanofi Pasteur’s Tripiedia DTaP vaccine listed AUTISM as one of the adverse reactions to their vaccine? If parents knew that, they might have reconsidered giving the child the vaccine.
(2) That particular brand DTaP vaccine is no longer available on the market as of 2014, but the serum’s insert -- last updated in December 2005 –under a section on page 11 describing “ADVERSE REACTIONS,” researchers acknowledged “autism,” among other serious complications…
(3) The insert warns:
"Adverse events reported during post-approval use of Tripedia vaccine include idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, SIDS, anaphylactic reaction, cellulitis, AUTISM, convulsion/grand malconvulsion, encephalopathy, hypotonia, neuropathy, somnolence and apnea."
(4) The insert goes on to state that “Events were included in this list because of the seriousness or frequency of reporting,” Meanwhile, the CDC maintains an entire page dedicated to claims there is no causal link between vaccines and autism.
(5) Do WE, THE PEOPLE realize that in 2014, Dr. William Thompson, a long-time researcher for the CDC, blew the whistle on research fraud with regard to manipulating the pivotal study that showed a correlation between the MMR vaccine and the onset of autism.
(6) He confessed in writing to massive fraud. He admitted that, in a '04 study on the safety of the MMR vaccine, that HE CO-AUTHORED, he & his colleagues omitted significant info giving a free pass to the MMR vaccine, claiming it had no connection to autism---when in fact it did.
(7) In the data it was shown that the children at greatest risk were those children vaccinated by 18 months, demonstrating a clear trend that the earlier the MMR vaccination, the higher the risk of autism.
(8) Concerning the overall fraud he committed in the 2004 study, Dr. Thompson states:
“I have a boss who’s asking me to lie…Higher ups wanted to do certain things and I went along with it. In terms of command, I was 4 out of 5.”
(9) Thompson named several of those higher ups at the CDC. They were his co-authors on the 2004 study: Coleen Boyle, Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsop, and Frank Destefano. In other words, those co-authors were among those who wanted Thompson to commit fraud.
(10) This is highly significant because Destefano & Boyle were not merely researchers. They were also high-ranking executives at the CDC---director of the Immunization Safety Office (Destefano) & director of the National Center on Birth Defects & Developmental Disabilities (Boyle)
(11) Dr. Thompson references one aspect of the fraud, explaining:
“…the effect [autism] is where you would think it would happen. It is with the kids without other conditions [“isolated autism”]…I’m just looking at this and I’m like ‘Oh my God….I cannot believe we did what we did…but we did [bury the data on these children]…It’s all there…It’s all there. I have handwritten notes.”
(12) Dr. Thompson wrote to the head of the CDC at the time (2004, Julie Gerberding stating: “I will have to present several problematic results relating to statistical associations between receipt of the MMR vaccine and autism.” Dr. Thompson did not make his presentation.
(13) After Gerberding stepped down as head of the CDC in '09, she took the position of president of Merck. Merck manufactures the MMR vaccine. That was, of course, the vaccine at the center of the whole 2004 fraud at the CDC. The vaccine whose connection to autism was buried.
(14) In an email dated August 11, 2014, Dr. Thompson reaffirmed the dishonesty of the Group’s actions, stating,
“I was involved in deceiving millions of tax payers regarding the potential negative side effects of vaccines. I regret what I did.”
