When Did Babies Start Getting the Mmp Vaccine

By Dan Olmsted

Does the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine cause autism? I vote yes.

Of course, that'southward just i man's stance – only i who's spent the last 3 years listening to parents and enlightened pediatricians and combing through adverse events reports and merely mostly trying to think for himself.

Right below this post is notwithstanding another study seeming to exonerate the MMR. That sure sounds familiar – the CDCAAPFDAIOMETC take already given it multiple clean bills of health. And manufacturer Merck says no studies show any link to autistic regression.

On the correct hand side of our home page is a drove of my Age of Autism columns for UPI. The i titled Pox – Office 1 of 7 installments --  sealed the deal for me every bit far as the MMR is concerned. I'1000 not going to echo myself hither except to say, there's every reason to worry about the interaction among alive viruses when you stick 'em in the same shot and inject 'em into 12-calendar month-erstwhile kids. Especially kids whose immune systems are already shot thanks to vaccine mercury and other toxins, thank you to the selfsame CDCAAPFDAIOMETC.

When Merck decided to toss the chickenpox virus into the MMR mix, kids started developing autism in clinical trials; that wasn't reported to the FDA before the drug was approved because, Merck said, the parents never got around to mentioning that their kids had regressed into autism. A few months after the Pox serial appeared, Merck suspended production of that four-in-ane vaccine, claiming they'd run low on chickenpox vaccine even as they launched a new shot for shingles that contains gobs of it.

The cluelessly credulous mainstream media did its usual thing – they essentially reprinted the press release nigh the "vaccine shortage." At present they have a new study to "report,"  reaffirming the MMR's safety and reassuring parents.

Never mind that Merck and the pharmaceutical industry are starting to testify a design and do that ought to make anyone stop and think before they become stenographers for the drug companies: There'south Vioxx with its $5 billion settlement and suppressed data about the heart attacks that fell but exterior the study window, causing the New England Journal of Medicine to complain; and Zetia with its delayed results that showed no protection against heart attacks even as the visitor convinced millions of doctors and patients to switch from cholesterol-lowering drugs that actually did work; and Eli Lilly with its Zyprexa side furnishings and the looming possibility of a $one billion fine and a criminal misdemeanor plea because they tried to get doctors to prescribe it for conditions for which information technology was not approved. Not very nice. Non very overnice at all.

And never mind that the FDA has all just admitted it's so overwhelmed and underfunded it can't reasonably be expected to practise its job (the one about making sure drugs, including vaccines, are safety and constructive).

The tragedy is that if the people who are supposed to protect our kids had relied less on dubious data produced past "experts" with blatant conflicts of interest, and more on common sense and the show of their own senses, the whole autism debacle of the 1990s through today might have been averted.

In an commodity titled "Agin Events," I wrote well-nigh some of the early warnings on file with the federal government's VAERS database.

Here'southward a report from 1992, listing February. 21 as both "vaccination engagement" and "adverse event date" for a one-yr-quondam male child: "Patient received MMR vaccination and experienced fever, autistic behaviors, encephalitic condition, began to tune out; sound sensitivity, manus-flapping, wheel-spinning, night sweats, appetite increase."

The child's diagnoses included autism, encephalopathy (brain swelling), mental retardation, personality disorder and voice communication disorder.

Another report: Two days afterward existence vaccinated in August 1994 a 1-year-sometime girl experienced "low fever, much discomfort. Patient lay in bed and cried and moaned; three-four days post-vaccination, rash traveled over patient's torso and lasted at least ane calendar week. Within half dozen weeks of vaccination patient was observed as losing previously gained linguistic communication and social skills; diagnosed autistic."

Soon after the commodity was published I heard from the mother who filed that report, and I wrote a follow-up story ("Case Number 88924"): "The patient and then clinically summarized in that study, Mary Jo Silva realized with a commencement, was her 1-year-old daughter Carmen, who fell ill the same day she got the MMR -- measles-mumps-rubella -- and Hepatitis B vaccinations at age ane."

That's bad.  Just hither's the killer: A 1994 report filed by a California physician citing ten -- yes, x -- children "who received vaccination and (were) diagnosed with autism and encephalopathy." That physician reported "there are currently 10 cases of autism in children who received DPT/OPV/MMR at fifteen-eighteen months."

The existent tragedy hither is the dates – 1992 to 1994, just equally the big wave of new mercury vaccines was crashing into America's kids. These were just a few of the many, many missed opportunities to do what medical professionals are supposed to do – be alert and suspicious, notice something new and grab hold of it till the truth yells Uncle.

Instead, the person who took that study nearly 10 kids with autism who shared a specific vaccination blueprint took a dismissive tone: "Dr. ... is non treating medico and does not possess any original records; unclear whether reporter [the medico, who was identified and could accept been contacted] is suggesting possible causal association."

Well, it'southward pretty clear to me – medico is suggesting causal association.

And so am I. Lest the CDC miss the point again, let's repeat information technology: Yeah, the MMR causes autism.
