Great stuff, Joyce.

 

The papers (in Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons) were

eye-openers, expecially " World Health Organization Vaccine

Recommendations: Scientific Flaws, or Criminal Misconduct? " by Marc

An Investigation of the Association Between MMR Vaccination and

Autism in Denmark by Goldman & Yazbak:

http://www.jpands.org/vol9no3/goldman.pdf ABSTRACT The MMR

vaccine was added to the childhood immunization schedule in Denmark

in 1987. From 1998 to the present, there has been concern over

whether there is an association between MMR vaccination and autism.

Prevalence of autism by age category during 1980 to 2002 was

investigated, using data from a nationwide computerized registration

system, the Danish Psychiatric Central Register, in order to compare

the periods preceding and following introduction ofMMRvaccine. Prior to

a classification change in 1993/1994 and a change in enrollment in

1995, an increase in autism prevalence was noted. Linear regression

analysis was performed separately on the trend during 1990 to 1992,

the period that preceded the introduction of both effects. The

prevalence in 2000 could then be derived excluding the sources of

ascertainment bias. Prevalence of autism among children aged 5-9

years increased from a mean of 8.38/100,000 in the pre-licensure era

(1980- 1986) to 71.43/100,000 in 2000 and leveled off during 2001-

2002. The relative risk (RR) is therefore 8.5 (95% CI, 5.7 to 12.7). After

adjusting for greater diagnostic awareness, the RR is 4.7 (95% CI, 3.1

to 7.2). Among individuals less than 15 years old, the adjustedRRis 4.1

(95% CI, 3.5 to 4.9). Longitudinal trends in prevalence data suggest a

temporal association between the introduction of MMR vaccine in

Denmark and the rise in autism. This contradicts an earlier report.

Health authorities should develop safer vaccination strategies and

support further investigation of the hypothesized link between the MMR

vaccine and autism.

Early Downward Trends in Neurodevelopmental Disorders Following

Removal of Thimerosal- Containing Vaccines by Geier & Geier:

ABSTRACT Contemporaneously with the epidemic rise in

neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs), first observed in the United

States during the 1990s, the childhood immunization schedule was

expanded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC) to include several additional thimerosal-containing vaccines

(TCVs). On July 7, 1999, a joint recommendation was made by the

American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the U.S. Public Health

Service (PHS) to remove thimerosal from vaccines. A two-phase study

was undertaken to evaluate trends in diagnosis of new NDs entered into

the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and the

California Department of Developmental Services (CDDS) databases

on a reporting quarter basis, from 1994 through 2005. Significant

increasing trends in newly diagnosed NDs were observed in both

databases 1994 through mid-2002. Significant decreasing trends in

newly diagnosed NDs were observed in both databases from mid-2002

through 2005. The results indicate that the trends in newly diagnosed

NDs correspond directly to the expansion and subsequent contraction

of the cumulative mercury dose to which children were exposed from

TCVs through the U.S. immunization schedule.
