Mr Justice Davis: an Official Complaint
by John Stone
The Wakefield witch hunt by the UK GMC is nearly underway.  John Stone has uncovered yet another tremendous conflict of interest... one that could end this nightmare once and for all.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield is considered by many to be the salvation of main stream medicine.  His research has questioned the very foundations of medicine and science: from vaccination policies, the gut-brain axis, leaky gut syndrome, and autistic enterocolitis to the influence on medicine and science of government and big business.  He is guilty of nothing, and none of his work has ever been refuted.  Yet he is being brought to trial by agents of big business in a pathetic red herring effort to reduce the impacts of his work. 
 

Regressive Autism, Ileal-Lymphoid Nodular Hyperplasia, Measles Virus and MMR Vaccine
by David Thrower
A constant flow of misinformation has been generated and perpetuated by the Medical Authorities, the vaccine industry and other groups suggesting that Andrew Wakefield is wrong and that MMR vaccination has never caused autistic regression. The following is a carefully researched revue by our friend David Thrower. It will help you respond to many such criticisms. Please feel free to distribute it widely.
 

Public Letter to Harvey Fineberg, MD, PhD
by Judy Converse, MPH, RD, LD
We at the Vaccine Autoimmune Project (VAP) believe that the Institute of Medicine and its Vaccine Safety Review Committee failed the American people and particularly the autism community when, on the basis of flawed epidemiological evidence, they decided in 2004 that further research into the link between vaccines and autistic regression was not warranted.  In her letter to the President of the Institute of Medicine, Judy Converse, a distinguished writer and health professional, describes her reasons why such research should resume urgently.

Do vaccines make children healthier?  They do not seem to be helping, based on CDC data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was legislated into existence in 1956 to define illness and disability in the US.  Since then, seven NHANES have been conducted.  The data set has grown into the tens of thousands and includes children as young as two months old.  With its consistent data collection methods over the decades and large sample size, it has become a rich mine for nutrition researchers.  The most recent NHANES data reveal that during the time frame of increased vaccination, children have become sick more often, have more debilitating chronic disease, have more developmental and learning diagnoses, and are in worse nutrition status than prior to 1990.  Have we traded treatable, curable infectious diseases of childhood for chronic incurable illnesses?
 

The First Cancer Vaccine: Facts and Failings
by F. Edward Yazbak, MD, FAAP
Gardasil, the new HPV vaccine, has recently been very much in the news.  We, at VAP, believe that mandating its use is reckless and inappropriate.  In "The First Cancer Vaccine: Facts and Failings", Dr. Yazbak reveals little known yet very important information about the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine.  When that product was added to the battery of recommended pediatric vaccines in 1991, it was supposed to prevent liver cancer.  It now seems that its wide use may have played a role in the autism epidemic of the nineties and in the recently noticed increase in hepatitis C-related liver cancer.
 

How PEDIATRICS Validated Erroneous British Mercury Data
by John Stone
Unpublished British data presented to an IOM committee in February, 2004 was accepted as evidence that Thimerosal-containing vaccines were not related to the present autism epidemic.  When that data was published by Andrews et al, John Stone, a British parent of a child who regressed after vaccination, wrote to PEDIATRICS with documented evidence that the data was incorrect and that the study was compromised from its inception by competing interests and extensive hidden collusion.  PEDIATRICS compounded the problem by refusing to publish Stone's essential evidence.
 

How Mercury Was Absolved: Creativity, Collusion and Censorship
by Jeffrey Allen Trelka, M.Ed.
Madsen’s mercury study published by PEDIATRICS in September, 2003 has been described by the IOM Vaccine Safety Review Committee as “well designed” and has been consistently used by government agencies worldwide as proof the vaccine preservative thimerosal does not contribute to autism rates.  Jeffrey Trelka exposes the study’s fatal flaws and provides proof of the mercury misinformation campaign that has been waged by the CDC, IOM, and the editors of the AAP journal.  As he quotes C. S. Lewis, "The greatest evil is... conceived and ordered in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice."
 

Vaccination of Very Premature Infants
by F. Edward Yazbak, MD, FAAP
According to the March of Dimes, 1 out of every 8 babies is born prematurely in the United States.  Parents have been concerned about exposing their small and very small premature infants to the many mandated pediatric vaccines too early. The CDC, certain "vaccine experts" and pediatricians have always insisted that small and frail infants can tolerate all vaccines and develop immunity, just like full term and robust infants.  A recent study from a major vaccine research center strongly suggests that the immune system of very small preemies does not indeed adequately respond to vaccination during the first few months of life.  VAP urges a review of the vaccination schedule of premature infants and a reassessment of its risks and benefits.  Doctor Yazbak's review of the new study raises other questions.
