Special Report: ABC Obscures Truth About Autism and Thimerosal

In an ABC World News report on the potential link between autism and vaccines, anchor Charles Gibson framed the issue in a way that would make his faux “myth-buster” colleague John Stossel proud.

Here’s Gibson from Monday night's broadcast:

CHARLES GIBSON: The causes of autism. There are parents who are convinced, absolutely convinced, that a preservative in childhood vaccines is the cause. There is no scientific evidence that is the case. None. So why do parents want to believe there is? It’s an issue that’s caused a deep divide in one prominent family. The family of the man who led NBC/Universal for years.

This ABC report (taking its lead from a New York Times cover story printed earlier on the same day) addresses the issue almost solely through the prism of former CEO titan Bob Wright’s public quarrel with his daughter Katie over how Autism Speaks - the powerhouse charity Mr. Wright started after Katie’s son was diagnosed with autism – focuses its money on research. She's convinced her son acquired the disease from mercury exposure during childhood vaccinations; Mr. Wright leans toward a genetic cause and recently publicly distanced himself and his charity from the views of his daughter.

(What a surprise: Bob Wright coming down on the side that shields Big Pharma; the same man who oversaw General Electric's dumping of untold amounts of PCBs into our water supply, denied it profusely, then, when forced to clean it up, fought every step of the way. Of course, not even the briefest of allusions to Mr. Wright's own toxic past and conflict of interest when it comes to getting to the bottom of potential corporate malfeasance is raised. In fact, quite the opposite: Mr. Wright and his wife are presented as reasonable, generous people and loving grandparents whose only concern is the well-being of their grandson and those also dealing with autism in their families; their daughter, on the other hand, is painted as the disgruntled, desperate and possibly unhinged mother.)

First and foremost, however, let’s focus on the real issue - the known facts and history about the link between autism and vaccines - and put ABC's (and the rest of the mainstream media's) titillation over the public squabbling of "one prominent family" aside. (Yes, I realize they run one of the largest autism charities, but if this fact and their bickering are used to obscure and misinform our basic understanding of the autism-vaccination debate rather than to illuminate it, then it's little more than a red herring.)

And let's start with Gibson’s misleading frame, which certainly sets the tone and permeates ABC correspondent John McKenzie’s report.

As to any scientific evidence linking vaccines to autism, Gibson emphatically, and rather contemptuously, proclaims with accompanying mugging - a unified tic of head, eyes and mouth - that there is “None.” In addition to the specious nature of this statement, Gibson instantly mischaracterizes those who think such a link exists as nothing more than desperate parents grasping for a root cause. What's worse, Gibson follows with: “So why do parents want to believe there is?” Wanting to believe something and believing it are of course vastly different things. And Gibson's use is certainly intentional, a cheap ploy to sway his audience. The kind of slant and open disdain one would expect from a Fox News anchor. “Want” here presupposes these parents are willfully ignorant of the truth in order to sustain their belief that vaccines contributed to their children’s autism.

With Brian Williams’ ratings slipping at NBC and Katie Couric still in the basement at CBS, ABC (as well as Gibson himself) has gone out of its way to promote its suppertime newsreader as taking up the mantle of The Serious Anchor in Network Television. Yet in this introduction alone, Gibson stops just short of saying, “What is wrong with these people?” while throwing up his arms in a huff. And his statement that there is “no scientific evidence” linking autism to childhood vaccines is astonishingly intellectually dishonest, if not patently false. Not to mention an insult to his viewers, parents with autistic children, and the many researchers, scientists, independent journalists and legislators on both sides of the aisle who’ve fought for years to uncover the truth. 

In John McKenzie’s report, though he extends the misleading frame, saying, “But when it comes to vaccines, scientists say they have the answers” – as if there are no scientists with differing views on this issue – he does go on to cite, “Three government reviews, looking at all available information, have found no credible evidence of any link between vaccines and autism.”

Gibson’s “no scientific evidence” and McKenzie’s purported consensus among scientists are of course a far cry from conclusions based exclusively on “three government reviews.”

Especially when government agencies and politicians, including the FDA, the CDC, and former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, were exposed for colluding with the pharmaceutical manufacturers of mercury-containing vaccines in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s devastating 2005 Rolling Stone exposé “Deadly Immunity.”

Kennedy writes in the opening lines:

In June 2000, a group of top government scientists and health officials gathered for a meeting at the isolated Simpsonwood conference center in Norcross, Georgia. Convened by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the meeting was held at this Methodist retreat center, nestled in wooded farmland next to the Chattahoochee River, to ensure complete secrecy. The agency had issued no public announcement of the session -- only private invitations to fifty-two attendees. There were high-level officials from the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration, the top vaccine specialist from the World Health Organization in Geneva and representatives of every major vaccine manufacturer, including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Wyeth and Aventis Pasteur. All of the scientific data under discussion, CDC officials repeatedly reminded the participants, was strictly "embargoed." There would be no making photocopies of documents, no taking papers with them when they left.

The federal officials and industry representatives had assembled to discuss a disturbing new study that raised alarming questions about the safety of a host of common childhood vaccines administered to infants and young children. According to a CDC epidemiologist named Tom Verstraeten, who had analyzed the agency's massive database containing the medical records of 100,000 children, a mercury-based preservative in the vaccines -- thimerosal -- appeared to be responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and a host of other neurological disorders among children. "I was actually stunned by what I saw," Verstraeten told those assembled at Simpsonwood, citing the staggering number of earlier studies that indicate a link between thimerosal and speech delays, attention-deficit disorder, hyperactivity and autism. Since 1991, when the CDC and the FDA had recommended that three additional vaccines laced with the preservative be given to extremely young infants -- in one case, within hours of birth -- the estimated number of cases of autism had increased fifteenfold, from one in every 2,500 children to one in 166 children [it currently stands at one in every 150 children].

It would seem CDC epidemiologist Tom Verstraeten’s mention of a “staggering number of earlier studies that indicate a link between thimerosal and speech delays, attention-deficit disorder, hyperactivity and autism” also exposes Gibson’s “no scientific evidence” to be either hastily researched or intentionally misleading.

Yet that’s only the tip of the iceberg, as there is a wealth of scientific evidence not only indicating this link, but also confirming the frightening toxicity of thimerosal, which, incidentally, ABC also fails to inform its viewers is a known neurotoxin and contains the second deadliest element on the planet.

What follows in Kennedy's investigation is more than bad science. Even more than criminal. As Kennedy says, it's quite possibly “one of the biggest scandals in the annals of American medicine.” 

Even for scientists and doctors accustomed to confronting issues of life and death, the findings were frightening. "You can play with this all you want," Dr. Bill Weil, a consultant for the American Academy of Pediatrics, told the group. The results "are statistically significant." Dr. Richard Johnston, an immunologist and pediatrician from the University of Colorado whose grandson had been born early on the morning of the meeting's first day, was even more alarmed. "My gut feeling?" he said. "Forgive this personal comment -- I do not want my grandson to get a thimerosal-containing vaccine until we know better what is going on."

But instead of taking immediate steps to alert the public and rid the vaccine supply of thimerosal, the officials and executives at Simpsonwood spent most of the next two days discussing how to cover up the damaging data. According to transcripts obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, many at the meeting were concerned about how the damaging revelations about thimerosal would affect the vaccine industry's bottom line. "We are in a bad position from the standpoint of defending any lawsuits," said Dr. Robert Brent, a pediatrician at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware. "This will be a resource to our very busy plaintiff attorneys in this country." Dr. Bob Chen, head of vaccine safety for the CDC, expressed relief that "given the sensitivity of the information, we have been able to keep it out of the hands of, let's say, less responsible hands." Dr. John Clements, vaccines advisor at the World Health Organization, declared that "perhaps this study should not have been done at all." He added that "the research results have to be handled," warning that the study "will be taken by others and will be used in other ways beyond the control of this group."

And it only gets worse.

In fact, the government has proved to be far more adept at handling the damage than at protecting children's health. The CDC paid the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct a new study to whitewash the risks of thimerosal, ordering researchers to "rule out" the chemical's link to autism. It withheld Verstraeten's findings, even though they had been slated for immediate publication, and told other scientists that his original data had been "lost" and could not be replicated. And to thwart the Freedom of Information Act, it handed its giant database of vaccine records over to a private company, declaring it off-limits to researchers. By the time Verstraeten finally published his study in 2003, he had gone to work for GlaxoSmithKline and reworked his data to bury the link between thimerosal and autism.

Flash forward: Dr. Marie McCormick of the Harvard School of Public Health led this flawed and underhanded IOM study, a conspicuous omission from the ABC report. Instead, here is how ABC correspondent John McKenzie presents Dr. McCormick:

Government experts say it's nothing more than a coincidence and that further studies on vaccines and autism are not justified. "I think, frankly, it would be a waste of money that could be used much better elsewhere," said Dr. Marie McCormick of the Harvard School of Public Health.

Especially on genetic clues of this crippling illness, say McCormick and her colleagues.

No bias there, huh? But here’s what Kennedy uncovered about the study back in 2005:

In May of last year [2004], the Institute of Medicine issued its final report. Its conclusion: There is no proven link between autism and thimerosal in vaccines. Rather than reviewing the large body of literature describing the toxicity of thimerosal, the report relied on four disastrously flawed epidemiological studies examining European countries, where children received much smaller doses of thimerosal than American kids. It also cited a new version of the Verstraeten study, published in the journal Pediatrics, that had been reworked to reduce the link between thimerosal and autism. The new study included children too young to have been diagnosed with autism and overlooked others who showed signs of the disease. The IOM declared the case closed and -- in a startling position for a scientific body -- recommended that no further research be conducted.

Obviously, this recommendation remains unchanged. Though this shouldn’t be a surprise considering the ongoing conflict of interest between those charged with ensuring our drug safety and their often close ties to the pharmaceutical companies that produce our drugs.

Kennedy notes:

Indeed, in the tight circle of scientists who work on vaccines, such conflicts of interest are common. Rep. Dan Burton [a Republican from Indiana whose grandson suffers from autism] says that the CDC "routinely allows scientists with blatant conflicts of interest to serve on intellectual advisory committees that make recommendations on new vaccines," even though they have "interests in the products and companies for which they are supposed to be providing unbiased oversight." The House Government Reform Committee discovered that four of the eight CDC advisers who approved guidelines for a rotavirus vaccine "had financial ties to the pharmaceutical companies that were developing different versions of the vaccine."

[…]

"Thimerosal used as a preservative in vaccines is directly related to the autism epidemic," his House Government Reform Committee concluded in its final report. "This epidemic in all probability may have been prevented or curtailed had the FDA not been asleep at the switch regarding a lack of safety data regarding injected thimerosal, a known neurotoxin." The FDA and other public-health agencies failed to act, the committee added, out of "institutional malfeasance for self protection" and "misplaced protectionism of the pharmaceutical industry."

This conflict of interest involves prominent politicians as well. Kennedy details one of the most appalling cases:

The drug companies are also getting help from powerful lawmakers in Washington. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who has received $873,000 in contributions from the pharmaceutical industry, has been working to immunize vaccine makers from liability in 4,200 lawsuits that have been filed by the parents of injured children. On five separate occasions, Frist has tried to seal all of the government's vaccine-related documents -- including the Simpsonwood transcripts -- and shield Eli Lilly, the developer of thimerosal, from subpoenas. In 2002, the day after Frist quietly slipped a rider known as the "Eli Lilly Protection Act" into a homeland security bill, the company contributed $10,000 to his campaign and bought 5,000 copies of his book on bioterrorism. The measure was repealed by Congress in 2003 -- but earlier this year [2005], Frist slipped another provision into an anti-terrorism bill that would deny compensation to children suffering from vaccine-related brain disorders.

Moreover, regardless of autism’s link to vaccines, why would pharmaceutical companies continue to use thimerosal, a deadly neurotoxin with a long history of lethal outcomes?

For Merck and other drug companies, however, the obstacle was money. Thimerosal enables the pharmaceutical industry to package vaccines in vials that contain multiple doses, which require additional protection because they are more easily contaminated by multiple needle entries. The larger vials cost half as much to produce as smaller, single-dose vials, making it cheaper for international agencies to distribute them to impoverished regions at risk of epidemics. Faced with this "cost consideration," Merck ignored [Dr. Maurice] Hilleman's warnings [Hilleman was “one of the fathers of Merck’s vaccination programs” who, in 1991, recommended discontinuing the use of thimerosal], and government officials continued to push more and more thimerosal-based vaccines for children. Before 1989, American preschoolers received eleven vaccinations -- for polio, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis and measles-mumps-rubella. A decade later, thanks to federal recommendations, children were receiving a total of twenty-two immunizations by the time they reached first grade.

Thimerosal has since been removed (or in certain cases reduced in strength) from most vaccines in the U.S., but it still remains in some here, most notably flu and tetanus shots. Yet vaccines containing thimerosal in its original strength continue to be distributed to poorer nations around the world. Again, it’s about the bottom line. Government officials and vaccine manufacturers point to the very real danger of epidemics occurring if populations are not properly vaccinated. But no rational person would argue that point. The problem is, there’s never been a valid study proving the safety of thimerosal.

Consider these chilling revelations (also from Kennedy’s 2005 investigation):

• "You couldn't even construct a study that shows thimerosal is safe," says [Dr. Boyd] Haley [“one of the world’s authorities on mercury toxicity”], who heads the chemistry department at the University of Kentucky. "It's just too darn toxic. If you inject thimerosal into an animal, its brain will sicken. If you apply it to living tissue, the cells die. If you put it in a petri dish, the culture dies. Knowing these things, it would be shocking if one could inject it into an infant without causing damage."

• Internal documents reveal that Eli Lilly, which first developed thimerosal, knew from the start that its product could cause damage -- and even death -- in both animals and humans. In 1930, the company tested thimerosal by administering it to twenty-two patients with terminal meningitis, all of whom died within weeks of being injected -- a fact Lilly didn't bother to report in its study declaring thimerosal safe. In 1935, researchers at another vaccine manufacturer, Pittman-Moore, warned Lilly that its claims about thimerosal's safety "did not check with ours." Half the dogs Pittman injected with thimerosal-based vaccines became sick, leading researchers there to declare the preservative "unsatisfactory as a serum intended for use on dogs."

• In the decades that followed, the evidence against thimerosal continued to mount. During the Second World War, when the Department of Defense used the preservative in vaccines on soldiers, it required Lilly to label it "poison." In 1967, a study in Applied Microbiology found that thimerosal killed mice when added to injected vaccines. Four years later, Lilly's own studies discerned that thimerosal was "toxic to tissue cells" in concentrations as low as one part per million -- 100 times weaker than the concentration in a typical vaccine. Even so, the company continued to promote thimerosal as "nontoxic" and also incorporated it into topical disinfectants. In 1977, ten babies at a Toronto hospital died when an antiseptic preserved with thimerosal was dabbed onto their umbilical cords

What's more, the government-funded studies claiming to put to bed any causality between thimerosal-laced vaccinations and autism remain shrouded in secrecy.

As Kennedy pointed out on The Huffington Post just yesterday:

The CDC and IOM base their defense of Thimerosal on these flimsy studies, their own formidable reputations, and their faith that journalists won't take the time to critically read the science.

Or worse. After wading through mainstream news articles and observing how this issue has been, and continues to be, portrayed by most of our national news networks, one would be naïve not to question big media’s corporate ties as a potential conflict of interest in its coverage of the vaccine-autism connection.

Kennedy goes on to say:

The bureaucrats are simultaneously using their influence, energies and clout to derail, defund and suppress any scientific study that may verify the link between Thimerosal and brain disorders. (These would include epidemiological studies comparing the records of vaccinated children with those of unvaccinated populations like the Amish or home-schooled kids who appear to enjoy dramatically reduced levels of autism and other neurological disorders.) The federal agencies have refused to release the massive public health information accumulated in their Vaccine Safety Database (VSD) apparently to keep independent scientists from reviewing evidence that could prove the link. They are also muzzling or blackballing scientists who want to conduct such studies.

Meanwhile, reports like the one filed by ABC World News on Monday night continue to provide the cover these bureaucrats need in order to suppress the whole truth surrounding this issue.

If there’s nothing to hide, if we all should begin focusing elsewhere, then journalists and government officials alike should encourage the opening of the Vaccine Safety Database so they can be free to disprove Mr. Kennedy’s contention that their “purpose was to provide plausible deniability for the consequences of their awful decision to allow brain-killing mercury to be injected into our youngest children. Those deliberately deceptive and fatally flawed studies were authored by vaccine industry consultants and paid for by Thimerosal producers and published largely in compromised journals that neglected to disclose the myriad conflicts of their authors in violation of standard peer-review ethics.”

It’s egregious enough that Charles Gibson and Co. fail to provide vital historical context, utterly ignoring decades of scientific evidence revealed in Kennedy’s investigation, as well as countless other significant findings on the subject dating back to the 1930s. But for Gibson to omit such evidence and then simultaneously claim the evidence he’s omitted doesn’t exist is astonishingly irresponsible.

It’s what we used to call propaganda in this country. Not news.

Gibson not only misinforms viewers about one of the most serious health crises we face, an undeniable epidemic (again, one in every 150 children), but with his negligent omissions and glib misstatements he unfairly disparages the thousands of parents who have plenty of reasons to believe high doses of mercury in vaccines have at least something to do with their children’s development of autism. 

Finally, while focusing on the public fallout between Katie Wright and her parents, Gibson and Co. fail to even disclose what “controversial theory led Katie's parents to issue a public repudiation.” Without the necessary context, viewers are left to think the “controversial theory” was simply her belief in the vaccine-autism connection. When, in fact, Katie’s son Christian has, according to Kennedy, “recovered significant function after chelation treatments to remove mercury.” Thus, it was her public disclosure of these chelation treatments that inspired Bob Wright’s open censure of his daughter.

That’s the controversial theory Gibson and Co. felt was unnecessary to present to their viewers. And, indeed, it’s a telling omission. Indicative of their consistent obfuscation in covering this issue.

As with nearly every aspect of the autism-vaccine debate, ABC, along with the predominance of its colleagues in big media, continues to toe the company line.

ABC Obscures Truth About Autism and Thimerosal

[nhokkanen]

I, too, was sickened by Charles Gibson's sanctimonious little smirk. Totally erasing Rep. Dan Burton's "Mercury In Medicine" Congressional report, not to mention Thimerosal's MSDS and thousands of incriminating studies. P.T. Barnum redux.

Has anyone followed the trail of corruption inside ABC to where it leads outside? I've read a few items about people at NBC and CBS, but still don't understand the higher level of vitriol spewing from ABC.

[Gerry]

It is possible that the mercury alone is not the only culprit. Maybe the immune systems of our babies and young children are being overwhelmed with so may toxins being injected, sometimes simultaneously. Did anyone ever prove that vaccines caused no harm? We only heard how good they were. If you are not looking for any problems, you won't find any. Also most mothers are themselves highly vaccinated..could the mercury and toxins be passed on to the baby thus exponentially increasing their exposure?

[ruth]

There's so much information out there that points to the correlation of vaccines to injury/death. But Big Pharma (money) and US gov't (power) in bed together make a massive, continuing, impenetrable cover up possible. Reading David Kirby's EVIDENCE OF HARM is a real eye-opener. Until the public stops believing the "no connection" mantra and starts overwhelmingly demanding change, we'll have more generations of physically/ mentally damaged citizens!

Theory: Vaccinations are the primary cause of food allergies. Infant formula, infant vitamins, and antibiotics that contain peanut products directly or indirectly may be secondary causes.

BACKGROUND: This study began as a "wild idea" that vaccinations or medicine could be causing peanut allergy. It soon turned into a horrible realization. A very small amount of food proteins from many sources are considered inert ingredients that fall under trade secret protection and are not on the vaccine inserts. Various studies have shown that injecting an animal with protein is one method of inducing an allergy. Every study done of food allergy that could be located does not disprove this theory. There was a study done on Indonesian and Thai children that has been frequently quoted as saying that there are no peanut allergies in Thailand or Singapore in spite of the high consumption of peanuts. Evidence was presented that Singapore has a major problem with peanut allergy. The study itself says that many children reacted to peanuts in a skin prick test and that it eliminated a number of children from the study. The "hygiene theory" was examined and found to have no merit. Evidence of a long list of food protein that can be used in vaccine production has been found in various patents on-line. The increased childhood vaccination schedule coincides with the increase in food allergies in industrialized nations. The lower incidence of food allergies in less industrialized nations also coincides with a lower vaccination rate. The lower incidence of food allergies in the Hispanic population of the United States also coincides with a lower vaccination rate. The evidence of food allergy in animals has only been found in vaccinated animals. Evidence of ingredients that can be one of the patented adjuvants with various food oils has been presented. Evidence that "pharmacy grade" peanut oil still contains peanut protein has been presented. Package inserts have been examined and found to have ingredients that do not disclose its actual composition. EVERY SINGLE FOOD ALLERGY THAT I HAVE FOUND, I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT FOOD LISTED AS AN INGREDIENT IN A VACCINE OR MEDICAL PRODUCT.

1. Vaccines are given to create an immune response from the body. It only makes sense that the body treats anything in the vaccine as an invader that needs to have an antibody created to combat it. That is why we give vaccines. But if the vaccine has a trace of food in it such as egg or peanut, it only makes sense that the vaccine can cause a food allergy.

2. Peanut oil is used in vaccines in adjuvants or as a vaccine carrier. The ingredients of adjuvants or vaccine carriers are not listed individually on the package insert. So the physician would have no way of knowing that there was peanut oil in the vaccine. The ingredients of adjuvants is considered a "trade secret" and has the protection of many governments not to be revealed.

3. Peanut allergy decreases in populations that have decreased percentage of vaccinated children. There are a number of studies that link vaccinations to allergies.

4. Peanut allergy is almost unknown in Israel. The population eats lots of peanuts. Israel produces sesame oil. Israel manufactures its own vaccines. Sesame is a major allergy there. Hypothesis: Sesame oil is used instead of peanut oil in the vaccines used in Israel.

5. Study that is frequently cited saying that Indonesia and Thailand people do not suffer from peanut allergies was erroneous. Many children in the study reacted to peanuts in the skin prick test. The study relied on parents of report food reactions. I found a Thai parent quoted on the Internet saying that her child had a peanut allergy. I also found a physician from Singapore stating that peanut allergy is a major problem there.

6. The “hygiene” theory points out that there is less food allergy in underdeveloped countries. They speculated that the people and environment is less clean so it is the early exposure to bacteria, etc. that protects against allergies. However, children as young as 8 months have been diagnosed with peanut allergy and it is only since 1990 that peanut allergies have become a huge problem. The populations in the underdeveloped countries are also not as compliant with childhood vaccinations which would account for less peanut allergy.

7. The United States and China are major producers of peanut oil and vaccinations. There are many patents for products used in vaccines that contain peanut oil.

8. The secondary causes of peanut allergy are due to young children having a “leaky gut”, immature digestive system. Introducing foods too soon can lead to allergies. Medicines given with traces of peanut protein could lead to an allergy. Also antibiotics kill off good bacteria as well as bad and can lead to an overgrowth of yeast which can cause food allergy type problems. I don’t know if any infant formula in the United States contains peanut oil. One website said it was more of a problem in Europe.

9. Our vaccinated animals are getting food allergies Dogs are allergic to peanuts. Searching the Internet - I found a wild elephant allergic to wheat; the elephant had been immunized. (Wheat germ oil is used as a carrier of vaccines. Wheat protein is used to manufacture vaccines/medicines.)

10. The statistics for allergies is appalling!! The allergy epidemic increased with every new mandate for more childhood immunizations.

11. How pure can we make peanut oil? I assume it is highly refined but it only would take a teeny weeny bit of peanut protein in a vaccine to create a problem. That is, of course, assuming that it is ONLY the peanut protein that causes the allergy. Using my “guessing” math, only 1 shot out of 1680 would need to be contaminated to create a peanut allergy in 1 in 70 people in Great Britain.

12. Vaccine adjuvants/ vaccine carriers contain many other oils/ingredients. These other ingredients could account for allergies to other foods. Fish oil is used. Shellfish can be mixed in with the fish by-products which are used to make fish oil. Wheat germ oil, corn oil, soy oil are used. Milk and eggs are also used in the production of vaccines. I expect that the oils are mixed in the vaccines so that you might get a vaccine with peanut oil and soy oil in it or any number of other oils.

I keep looking but so far, I have been unable to DISPROVE my theory. And perhaps that is because VACCINES ARE A MAJOR CAUSE OF FOOD ALLERGIES!!
