Connection found at CDC between autism and MMR shot, but ends up in trash

The CDC has told us over and over again that vaccines don’t cause autism.

The agency even makes the claim in big, bold letters on its “vaccine safety” web page.

But now a former CDC scientist is trying to warn anyone who will listen — now including members of Congress — that it’s all a lie.

And at least some members of our government have known about it for years.

Because 11 years ago, CDC researchers appear to have uncovered a frightening link between autism and one of the most popular vaccines on the market.

But instead of releasing this important health information to the public, they threw it in the trash where it never saw the light of day.

Until now.

The secret studyThe information has been slowly leaking out for a while, and it sounds like something out of a spy novel.

But what’s been going on is far from fiction. What we’re seeing is years of lies from the government and Big Pharma slowly unraveling.

And it’s all because they never counted on Dr. William Thompson’s conscience getting the better of him.

You see, Dr. Thompson was one of the CDC’s top scientists. And more than the decade ago, he was part of a big study conducted with several other CDC researchers to look for any links between the age when children get their first MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and autism.

When the researchers published their study in the journal Pediatrics in 2004, they claimed that “no significant associations” were found.

But that wasn’t true. In fact, Dr. Thompson now admits that he and his co-authors “omitted statistically significant information” from the study.

In fact, they found that when African-American boys were given the MMR shot before their third birthdays, they were at much greater risk for autism.

But instead of exposing this link, Dr. Thompson and his colleagues decided to destroy it and toe the federal government line instead.

They “brought a big garbage can into the meeting room,” Dr. Thompson says, and threw away the data. Data that might have helped prevent a lot of misery for young children and their families.

And that’s not just a cover-up –- that’s criminal.

Even at the time, Dr. Thompson knew what he and his colleagues were doing was wrong and very likely illegal. So unbeknownst to his fellow researchers, he kept copies of everything.

And after major media outlets largely ignored the story –- and decided to keep the peace with their Big Pharma masters — Dr. Thompson sent more than 1,000 research documents to Florida Congressman Bill Posey.

And now Rep. Posey is making sure his fellow lawmakers — and the public — finally hear the truth.

Rep. Posey recently got up on the House floor and shared all the details about the CDC’s secret campaign to hide the link between vaccines and autism. He said that even though he supports vaccination, parents deserve “the best information available to them” and for “federal agencies to tell them the truth.”

Amen to that.

In fact, Rep. Posey is now even calling for a full Congressional investigation.

Of course, if things were as they should be, an investigation would have been started years ago. And considering the stranglehold Big Pharma has over much of Congress, I’m guessing we still have a long wait ahead of us.
