126. The earliest studies show links between autism and vaccines with mercury

in them.

Also note that where the WTO has distributed American vaccines in other countries
their rates of autism have risen.

Also note . .

Further research shows that that the Measles virus, vaccine strain, is growing in the intestines of autistic children, that it entered the spinal fluid, and is causing a low grade encephalitis. Encephalitis is known to possibly cause autism.

Some researchers have contemplated that the use of Thimerosal, which can cause destruction of the immune system, caused these children to be unable to fight the 3 live virus' given in that vaccine.

------------------------------------------------------------



Thimerosal was first introduced in vaccines in 1931 by Eli Lilly Corporation. It was used as a preservative so that multidose vials of vaccines could be used instead of single dose vials, which are more expensive.

Leo Kanner first described Autism in the 1930's, as did a french doctor named Hans Asperger. Kanner's paper on Autism was published in the 1940's. The oldest child listed in his paper was born in 1931.

Both described what they said was a newly discovered neurological disorder in children that had not been seen before. Both had similar, but slightly different descriptions. What Kanner described was what is known as a more typical course of severe autism. Hans Asperger described children who were of average to high intelligence but with similar behaviors and characteristics. His description is what is now known as a higher functioning form of autism called Asperger's Disorder.

With each increase in Thimerosal-containing vaccines, autism rates went up. This became much more obvious beginning with children born in 1988 when the Hib vaccine was added to the childhood schedule in 2 doses. The DTP vaccine, which also contained Thimerosal, was also on the childhood schedule and had been for many years. Each Hib vaccine contained 25 mcgs. of mercury. The DTP also contained 25 mcgs. per shot.

The EPA standards for mercury exposure safety levels is .1 mcg. per kilogram, or 2.2 pounds. This means that the average newborn that weighs about 7 pounds cannot take in more than .3 mcgs. of mercury.

The first Hep B vaccine given at birth is 12.5 mcg. which, according to EPA safety levels, you would have to weigh 275 pounds to safely absorb.

Children received 12.5 mcg. at birth, another 12.5 at one month, 50 mcg. at 2 months, 50 mcg. at 4 months and 62.5 mcg. at 6 months for a total of 187.5 mcg. by the age of 6 months. All of this was being given at a time when the blood-brain barrier was absent and their neurological systems and immune systems were still underdeveloped.

Autism rates jumped to the eventual number of today's rate of 1 in every 150 children born in the United States.

Additionally, somewhere in my reading tonight, I noted that 1 in 6 children are showing

some signs of developmental problems.
