P.L.A. has an angry, heartfelt piece about autism and how gross neglect or error of the Californian medical profession may have helped create a major rise in cthe number of hildren with autism:

The new vaccinations tripled the total amount of mercury contained in shots given to infants. During the 1990s, thirty million American children received vaccinations containing levels of mercury that exceed EPA guidelines.

We are not yet sure that mercury in vaccines causes brain damage and/or autism. More studies are needed. Thimerosal is no longer used as a preservative in vaccines. If thimerosal was the culprit, the incidence of autism should now drop as a result of its removal from the vaccines.

Nonetheless, the question remains:

HOW IN GOD?S NAME DID THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT COME TO GIVE MERCURY IN LEVELS THAT EXCEED EPA SAFETY GUIDELINES TO THIRTY MILLION CHILDREN?


In the comments, one Eli Edwards suggested sending this
piece to his congressperson and the local leftwing radiostation. You may want to do the same, especially
since Dick Armey (Rep. R-Texas) added a last minute
clause to the Homeland Security Bill which according to the New York Times would protect the responsible pharmaceutical company from lawsuits over the issue:

“In one last-minute addition, Representative Dick Armey, Republican of Texas, inserted a provision that was apparently intended to protect Eli Lilly, the pharmaceutical giant, from lawsuits over thimerosal, a mercury-based vaccine preservative that some parents contend has caused autism in their children.

“I’m really quite surprised they would put in the fine-print provisions we never saw in any other versions, that never even went through committees,” said Representative Henry A. Waxman of California, the ranking Democrat on the House Government Reform Committee.”

But Republicans, like Representative William M. Thornberry of Texas, said the additions were minor and paled next to the importance of creating a department to protect the nation’s safety.”
