CDC and FDA, Merck Knew Dangers - mercury caused autism: 1999 study, CDC accused of colluding to cover up from June 2000

Drug Company Knew Dangers - Secret Memo Proves It - Independent Media TV: "It time for the media to inform the public of the reasons why Merck and other drug companies have been trying to hide the damage caused by mercury in childhood vaccines.

The memo cited in the Feb 8, 2005, article substantiates what many people have long known. The drug companies, and later the CDC and FDA, knew mercury caused autism, and decided to put profits ahead of the mental health of an entire generation of children.

Thimerosal is a preservative that contains mercury which was added to childhood vaccines to boost profits for the pharmaceutical companies, by allowing the use of multi-dose bottles of vaccines instead of individually packaged doses.

A study conducted by the CDC in 1999, determined there was a definite link between Thimerosal and autism. But instead of banning the product immediately, the FDA kept the CDC findings secret, and allowed millions more children to be vaccinated with the poisonous vaccines.

In fact, the CDC has now been accused of colluding with drug companies at a meeting in June, 2000, to prevent the release of a report that revealed the link between Thimerosal and disorders including autism, ADD/ADHD, stuttering, and speech and language delays.
...
Mark Geier, a doctor with a PhD in genetics, used the same CDC database used for the Verstraeten study, to compare autism rates of more than 85,000 children who received a vaccine containing Thimerosal for diphtheria/tetanus/acellular pertussis, against rates of nearly 70,000 children who received a Thimerosal-free version of the vaccine. The rate of autism in the Thimerosal group was 27 times higher.

Which means autism has a greater connecting risk factor to Thimerosal than the link between smoking and lung cancer, which according to the American Cancer Society is only 22 for men and 11 for women.
