Autism Vaccine Decision
http://www.whptv.com/news/local/stor...f-ed1aebfc427c
Autism Vaccine Decision They exist to protect our children from deadly diseases, but a landmark federal case may shed some doubt about vaccines in the minds of parents. A court has decided to compensate a family who claims their daughter developed autism from her vaccine. "For the first time the court has conceded in a case that indicates that vaccines can indeed cause autism," says John Gilmore, Autism United. The case is that of 9-year-old Hannah Poling of Atlanta, Georgia. Before the concession, Hannah's case was to be heard in the federal vaccine court. The decision is fanning the flames of the controversial firestorm dividing the medical and autism communities. Thousands of parents, including Adams County mom Holly Bortfeld, claim their child's autism was injected into them with the vaccine. CBS 21 News interviewed Bortfeld last April about her son Max, who was diagnosed with autism ten years ago. "I believe he got autism from his vaccinations," says Bortfeld. The specific culprit is thimerosal, a mercury based preservative that was in most vaccines. It was removed in 2001. But for max, Hannah and scores of others who got the shots before then, this case out of Atlanta is helping their arguments. But will it hurt vaccines? "I think it's a little bit of a leap of faith to go from this case to vaccines definitely cause autism," says Dr. Paul Williams, Houcks Road Family Practice. Dr. Williams says since the documents on Hannah's case are sealed, he says he doesn't know what the judge's based their decision on. Was it scientific fact or was it just political expediency? As for vaccines today Dr. Williams says, "At this point I feel comfortable and confident that the current vaccine supply is safe and I wouldn't hesitate in vaccinating my family or my patients." Thimerosal remains in some vaccines including the flu shot. Hannah's family is asking for mercury to be removed from all vaccines, and they just might have the political weight behind them now to get their demands met. Hannah Poling was also diagnosed with mitochondrial, a rare metabolic disorder that shares symptoms with autism. The federal court concedes vaccines may have caused that disorder and "autism-like" symptoms in Hannah. |

Jeff LOL, that, and about 1 billion US bogus dollars will get you what ever you want. As a scientist, I am ashamed of what the IOM has done. The decision and the actions of the IOM is totally unscientific. The IOM and the NAC has examined their options and decided to align themselves with the power and the money, the truth be damned. You must then live your life as you see it. For me, to hell with the medical monopoly. DrCee You cannot secure nor restore health with pus or poisons. |

An ''excessively permissive'' attitude by institutions tends to allow careless and sometimes even fraudulent medical research, a committee of the national Institute of Medicine reported today. The panel, which was formed to study misconduct in biomedical research, said better research standards and systematic ways of investigating laboratory irresponsibility are needed. Although the committee said it believed that serious misconduct in science is rare, it concluded that ''institutions fail to detect and correct early deviant behavior primarily because of an excessively permissive research environment that tolerates careless practices.'' Pressures and Carelessness Financing pressures and an overemphasis on publication of research in scientific journals also encourage what the committee called ''substandard practices.'' The Institute of Medicine, one of the National Institutes of Health, organized the 17-member committee in 1987 after a series of fraudulent and careless laboratory reports came to light. The committee was asked to develop proposals to strengthen professional standards in Federal and academic laboratories. Few institutions have explicit research guidelines, the report said, and this allows the system ''to tolerate substandard activities by a small number of individual investigators who fail to observe generally accepted practices.'' The committee said that in the past decade there have been incidents of serious research misconduct at Massachusetts General Hospital, Yale University, Cornell University, Harvard Medical School and Boston University. It said these incidents ''raised new questions about the ability of academic institutions to conduct objective investigations of misconduct by their own faculty members or research staff.'' Failure of Peer Review A system of peer review and replication of research findings has been a standard way to guard against science error in the past, the committee said. But it said this system has failed because findings often are not checked by replication in other laboratories, and the peer review system depends on trust that can be misplaced. The committee noted that researchers are pressured to build up a list of publications to which they have contributed. Academic advancement and salary increases can depend upon the number of publications. As a result, the committee said, some authors credited with reports often participated only marginally, the leaders of some laboratories put their names on all research from their labs, and the names of prominent researchers are often added to those of the true authors in an effort to assure publication. Recommendations of Panel To correct the problems, the committee made 16 recommendations, including these: * The National Institutes of Health should establish an office to promote responsible research and to evaluate investigations of misconduct by institutions. * By 1992 all institutions conducting medical research for the institutes should be required to adopt specific policies to promote ethical research practices and to investigate misconduct. * The institutes should limit the number of publications considered in a grant application so that evaluations of a researcher's past work are based on quality, not quantity. * Academic departments should adopt new authorship policies that will not emphasize quantity. * Scientific journals should develop policies ''to promote responsible authorship practices,'' including a system to respond to charges of misconduct.

John Gilmore, executive director of Autism United. Autism United Autism United is a coalition of service providers and advocacy groups centered on Long Island and New York City working together through a combination of advocacy, community organizing and self-help to provide better lives for individuals with autism and their families. In September 2007Autism United hosted the first of a series of fundraising Hope Walks to help support the Harvey Weisenberg Center and to launch the first thorough and accurate count of people with autism on Long Island. For more information call John Gilmore, Executive Director at (516) 933-4050. Autism Groups Unite to Fight for Research and Services Autism United, a new national coalition, has been formed to bring together many individual organizations into a cohesive force to fight the autism epidemic. Providing much needed local services and resources for promising but under-funded research will be the new group's primary mission. As a coalition, Autism United's joint organizations will retain their unique identity while working together for common goals. Autism United will launch its fundraising operation with an inaugural walk on September 30 at Belmont Lake State Park in Babylon, New York. Proceeds from the walk will fund two initial projects, the creation of the Harvey Weisenberg Resource Center at Family Residences and Essential Enterprises in Old Bethpage, and a comprehensive study to provide an accurate count of the number of people with autism living on Long Island. The model of supporting local services and research of national importance will be replicated nationwide. Plans are underway for similar events in other areas of New York, New Jersey, Illinois, West Virginia, Virginia and Oklahoma. "Autism United is a grassroots organization formed by parents for parents to assist families, and fund research and services," said co-founder Evelyn Ain, "A large portion of the funds will be kept in the local community to keep this grassroots organization grassrooted." Ain is the parent of a child with autism and the publisher of Spectrum, a national magazine that covers autism issues. The Harvey Weisenberg Center is named in honor of Assemblymember Harvey Weisenberg, who has long been recognized as the leading advocate in New York state government for people with disabilities. The center will provide referrals and information for families on services, schools, health care, and insurance. The first research project will be a study to measure the incidence of autism on Long Island . "We know the number of kids with an autism diagnoses has been going up by 10 to 15 percent every year since they began keeping records," said Robert Krakow, a co-founder of Autism United and Board Chairman of Lifespire, a New York City based non-profit that provides housing and services for cognitively disabled adults, "We also know that there are large gaps in the data and it is impossible to plan for the future or make rational resource allocation decisions if we don't know how many people are affected." The founding organizations behind Autism United on Long Island include A-CHAMP, Developmental Disabilities Institute, Family Residences and Essential Enterprises, Lifespire, the Long Island Autism Conference, the Long Island chapter of the National Autism Association, and the Nassau/Suffolk chapter of the Autism Society of America. Spectrum Publications is the media sponsor. More information about Autism United and the fundraising walk can be found at www.autismunited.org.

The "deadly" remark is not warrented unless you have an incompetent allopath for a doctor. According to Cee, his heroes the orthopaths could cure anything. Of course, we have no way of knowing this now and it seems unlikely. The specific culprit is thimerosal, a mercury based preservative that was in most vaccines. It was removed in 2001. This is not an accurate fact. The thimerosal laden vaccines were available and used until at least 2003. The thimerosal amount was "reduced" in some vaccines but remains high in others. The actual amount of thimerosal children are exposed to, from the fetus to the 3 year old, has actually increased. That, of course, is a complete lie, since the number of vaccines containing thimerosal that are given to children is now much less than it was a decade ago, and the amount of mercury remaining in the current vaccines is so small that the entire vaccine series contains less than a single injection did a decade ago. (Flu vaccine can be an exception. If this worries you, don't get your kid a flu shot, or insist on the type that's thimerosal-free.) Thimerosal remains in some vaccines including the flu shot. This is an accurate statement. It is also in the Rhogam shots during pregnancy. Which not every woman gets, of course. Hannah Poling was also diagnosed with mitochondrial, a rare metabolic disorder that shares symptoms with autism.
