If vaccines can’t cause autism, try explaining this

The lemmings in the mainstream media went to town with this one.

By now you’ve certainly seen all the headlines. A new “study” claims vaccines don’t cause autism.

One reporter said that “if we lived in a rational world, this would put the issue to rest.”

One smug newspaper even implied that if you dared to question the wisdom and safety of vaccines, you were as uneducated as people who believe the earth is flat.

These reporters all had plenty to say – but apparently they didn’t ask too many questions.

Because when you find out who’s really behind this new study… billed as the “final word” on vaccines and autism… you’ll see it’s the research that falls flat.

Flat on its face.

Telling it like it isn’t

Since the measles outbreak hit the press, there’s been more misinformation circulating about vaccines than ever before. It’s like a giant vaccine propaganda machine got turned on and no one dares to hit the off switch.

And this latest research might just be the worst propaganda of all.

Before the media started crowing about how vaccines have finally been vindicated from any association with autism, maybe they should have first checked to see who was behind the study.

And that’s the Lewin Group.

Never heard of them? Well, unless you’re one of their Big Pharma clients or a company in need of some report or study to support your position, it’s unlikely that you would.

The Lewin Group loves to refer to itself as impartial and independent. But with big-name drugmakers such as Abbott, Wyeth, Amgen and Pfizer counted among its clients, that’s kind of a hard sell.

But to really find out what makes the Lewin Group tick, you have to map its family tree.

And that starts with its parent company UnitedHealth Group – the largest health carrier company in the United States.

UHG rakes in $122 billion a year and has been recommending vaccines (even sending out helpful reminder cards) to its 84 million policyholders forever. You can bet a study linking vaccines with autism would send the UHG lawyers into cardiac arrest.

The only group more interested in distancing vaccines from autism is the federal government, which is forced to pay claims for vaccine injuries through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

And you won’t be surprised to learn that the feds funded this latest research.

The fact is, this study is about as legitimate as the snack food industry doing research on the health benefits of Twinkies.

But aside from all the fancy footwork being performed by the Lewin Group — and all its friends and relatives – there’s plenty we’re not being told.

Because the media is using this as an opportunity to say that “study after study” has proven that vaccines don’t cause autism. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Time and time again scientists have published peer-reviewed studies in highly respected medical journals that have shown a possible connection. To say that these studies don’t exist or that they’re all junk science, flawed or can’t be replicated is utter nonsense.

In fact, five years ago the government “vaccine court” agreed that it was the vaccinations given to 19-month old Hanna Poling that caused her autism. The court handed her parents more than $1.5 million and agreed to cover Hanna’s expenses for the rest of her life.

That could amount to another $20 million.

The government also paid out multi-million dollar settlements to the families of Ryan Mojabi of Northern California and Emily Moller of Houston. Those families presented mountains of evidence that their children’s autism was triggered by vaccinations.

The government has been paying off claims for vaccine-induced autism since 1990, even while insisting vaccines are safe. Since they try to keep these cases a secret, there are certainly more victims than we’ll ever hear about.

Because what we ultimately hear and read about vaccines in the media isn’t really “all the news that’s fit to print,” but very carefully selected, cherry-picked information. All broadcast to make sure that anyone who dares to rock the vaccine boat will be shoved overboard.
