Wakefield

The following powerful rebuttal of British Medical Journal allegations that Dr Andrew Wakefield falsified research in a paper published in The Lancet Medical journal in 1998 was issued by the US National Autism Association in a news release exclusively for the UK media.  The BMJ claim results were faked so Dr Wakefiled could suggest a link between vaccines, autistic conditions and bowel disease in children.

NAA argue that if the was all faked how is it that now:-

• US Government health officials have admitted vaccines [and not just the MMR vaccine] cause autistic conditions;
• the US Federal Court has order substantial compensation for children whose autistic conditions were caused by vaccines;
   
• papers published independently in mainstream leading medical journals confirm, just as Dr Wakefield found in 1998, that autistic children suffer serious bowel disease when their non autistic contemporaries do not.

Government Risks Male Sterility As Mumps Vaccine Fails

Two new medical papers in Vaccine and Eurosurveillance respectively show this 10th April 2009 Daily Mail story - Students suffering as cases of mumps treble - is wrong about the reasons for adult mumps outbreaks.
The new medical papers show:-

* the mumps vaccine is failing - with vaccinated individuals catching mumps as adults
* but unvaccinated individuals are not

Mumps in adults but not children can cause an atrophied testicle and (rarely) male sterility. Mumps outbreaks in older individuals is a known effect of introducing vaccination. It pushes childhood diseases into the adult population. [A known concern with chickenpox vaccine is serious shingles outbreaks in the older population.]

Children who catch mumps naturally gain lifelong immunity but are at no risk of atrophy or sterility. Mumps vaccination was not recommended by the BMA, JCVI and Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain from at least 1974 and prior to the 1988 introduction of the MMR [see below].

A reason unvaccinated individuals are not developing mumps as adults is that they caught natural mumps as children and this may have been asymptomatic [ie. they showed no symptoms]. Asymptomatic infection is a known phenomenon and becomes more common as the severity of infectious diseases wanes in the population over time.

In contrast, the hypothesis put by the authors of the paper cited below make little sense - they suggest the unvaccinated are not catching mumps as adults [when the vaccinated are] is because of high vaccination uptake rates. If that were the case then the vaccinated would not be catching mumps as adults either.

AUTISM'S IMPACT

Autism's impact has reached education, health services and the workplace, becoming an issue grappled with not only the families involved, but our entire society - especially as these children age into adolescence and young adulthood. These statistics tell some of the story:

• In Pennsylvania, the number of children affected by autism has skyrocketed 876 percent between 1993 and 2003.

• Autism, a developmental disability, remains a mystery that affects one in every 150 American children - almost one in every 94 boys.

• In 2007, children with autism shared the sixth most commonly classified disability receiving special education services.

• The lifetime cost of routine daily and medical care for a child with autism ranges from $3.5 million to $5 million, amassing to nearly $90 billion annually nationwide.
