Forged documents and a scientist who absconds with $2 million puts Autism
studies in doubt

Autism Action Network have reported that the key scientist involved in
studies proving that there was no link to thimerosal in vaccines and autism
has forged documents and absconded with $2 Million.

Poul Thorsen MD Phd, a scientist at the Unversity research unit originally
hired by the CDC and Prevention to prepare a series of studies, to rule out
any link with the preservative thimerosal in vaccines, the MMR and autism
has disappeared from the University of Aarhas with $2 million and is being
investigated by the Danish police for fraud which puts the results of the
studies in doubt.

Autism Action Network report the following:-

"In a statement Aarhas University officials said that they believe Thorsen
forged documents supposedly from the CDC to obtain $2 Million from the
University. Thorsen resigned abruptly in March 2009 and left Denmark."

The Copenhagen Post online reported that the scientist has possibly
committed fraud to the value of 10 million kroner against several of the
Universities research partners.

The studies that he took part in and that are now in doubt are

Thimerosal and the occurrence of autism: negative ecological evidence from
Danish population-based data

And

A population-based study of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and
autism

Professionals around the world have believed for years that thimerosal, the
preservative added to vaccines in the 1930's by Eli Lilly, is the key to
autism in children.

Robert F Kennedy says that before thimerosal was added to the vaccines in
the 1930's, autism was virtually unknown. However, almost immediately after
the preservative was added to the vaccines, cases of autism began to emerge.

In 1989 the vaccine schedule was increased from around 10 vaccines to around
24 vaccines all containing thimerosal says Kennedy he added that thimerosal
is a mercury based compound stating that no one has even bothered to check
how an accumulative of mercury could affect our children.

In 2006 Boyd Haley Ph.D said "I think that the biological case against
thimerosal is so dramatically overwhelming that only a very foolish or a
very dishonest person with the credentials to understand this research would
say that thimerosal wasn´t most likely the cause of autism."

Lisa Blakemore-Brown has always been convinced that thimerosal in vaccines
has led to more cases of autism. She was so convinced that she included the
fact in her book on autism 'Reweaving the Autistic Tapestry'. In her book
she advised parents to go to lawyers if they thought their children had been
affected by vaccines giving a list of lawyers she recommended.

She wrote:-

"Law firms handling claims against manufacturers on the basis that autism
has been caused by mercury and in particular thimerosal in vaccine".

She then listed firms dealing with claims.

Her book was written in 2000/2001

Yesterday in a twist to the tale a report came out about pets showing sign
of autism and autistic type behaviour after vaccines. The Daily Mail
reported that in Chichester West Sussex England UK a dog was showing signs
of autism after he had his vaccines.

Charlie an apparently happy and friendly springer spaniel pup was reported
to have had a personality change over night, after receiving his vaccine.
His owner reports that she believes that his behaviour now mirrors
behaviours that have been seen in children with autism.

This is not unknown as autism was reported to have been seen in monkeys in
the 1990's when they were given the same vaccines as human infants have.

After research I found this on

Unlock Autism

"The first research project to examine effects of the total vaccine load
received by children in the 1990s has found autism-like signs and symptoms
in infant monkeys vaccinated the same way. The study´s principal
investigator, Laura Hewitson from the University of Pittsburgh, reports
developmental delays, behavior problems and brain changes in macaque monkeys
that mimic "certain neurological abnormalities of autism."

What will it take for the governments to realise that vaccines could be the
reason why autism is on the increase? Instead of introducing yet more
vaccines to an already overcrowded schedule perhaps a careful look at the
vaccines already said to be damaging our children is long overdue.
