If the mercury is so safe, then why don't the mercury supporters demonstrate the safety by injecting themselves?
The mercury supporters can demonstrate this safety by injecting themselves proportionately to the weight that our children were when they received their mercury injections.
This of course witnessed by those parents with vaccine injured children.

Midweek Mashup: Drinking the Mercury
By Dan Olmsted One of the unexpected plusses of Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s book on the dangers of thimerosal, the ethyl mercury vaccine preservative: It is being greeted by another round of excruciatingly erroneous authoritative-sounding pronouncements claiming that the tiny, tiny -- truly, truly, te...
I read an article in one of our newspapers a couple of weeks back, it was reporting about the vaccine debate and the disgraced doctor (guess who?).
However, they did not report that Dr Wakefield was fraudulent the article stated that he was before the GMC for "misconduct."
I wonder if [they] realise that the public are no longer fooled by [their] blatant lies.
Of course the article failed to mention that Walker-Smith was exonerated. Perhaps it is too much to ask.

P.S I wish I kept the article.
Dr. Andrew Wakefield Continues To Speak Out
By Anne Dachel You can't bring up the link between vaccines and autism without hearing about a paper published in The Lancet, a British medical journal, in 1998. The author was the much vilified doctor, Andrew Wakefield, and for the sixteen years, the media has blamed the controversy over vac...
Here in Australia, our NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is currently being rolled-out around Australia in the smallest-of-small increments.
Depending on where you live in Australia is determined on whether you qualify for the NDIS, then, you have to meet the most convoluted criteria.
My severely Autistic, low functioning, non-verbal, twelve-year-old does not meet the criteria, so you have to ask, who does?

UK Care Act Puts Autistic People in Harm’s Way: Write to the Consultation
Managing Editor's Note: While we are thinking about the Autism CARES bill, aka Combating Autism Act, the UK has its own concerns regarding legislation for people with autism. By John Stone Legislation by the British government will fail autistic people, the United Kingdom’s National Autistic S...
Perhaps I should be grateful being paid $59.00 (£33.04/(USA$55.46) a week from the Australian Government as a full-time carer for a severely Autistic, non-verbal, twelve-year-old.
I may be denied less money if I demand more!
Our Government is dealing with a "sickly" budget because of over spending in the wrong areas. Money should be directed to those who really need it, the most, and since Australia does not have a Vaccine Injury Compensation Programme then I consider my son's cause "who really need it, the most!"
Thanks for the article John.

Still Covering Up: the New Autism Speaks/JAMA Study of the Cost of Autism
By John Stone "The present study seems to do two things: regard notional cases based on a half-baked theory of general prevalence as actual, but also underestimating costs of individual real cases by more than three times (on a breakdown of their own figures)." There have been many news stori...
There is a small glimmer of hope.
An innocent little girl has been finally compensated for a vaccine injury.

Irish Children Subjected to Vaccination Experiments in 1930s
Managing Editor's Note: I'm pretty jaded after 18+ years in the autism/vaccine injury community, but this story, this horrible story knocked me for a loop. Imagine this horror in a Catholic nation, on innocent children, under the "care" of the religious and ask yourself, "Could that happen tod...
I issued a complaint on the AMAZE website (http://www.amaze.org.au/discover/about-autism-spectrum-disorder/what-is-an-autism-spectrum-disorder/)
If you scroll down the page- Under the heading- "What are the Causes?" As bold as bold you will see:-
...ASD is not caused by vaccination or other medical treatment...
I contacted AMAZE via ...contact us...Not happy with our service?...The AMAZE Complaints Procedure can be found here...in pictorial format...I wrote to AMAZE telling them that I was unhappy with their unsubstantiated claim and wanted to know the person/s authorised to make such a claim and their qualification/s.
AMAZE states...What will we do if you make a complaint?...Address your problem within 48 hours and tell you the next steps...my complaint was sent via email on Wednesday the 21st May 2014!
Perhaps AMAZE meant...we will address any complaints within 48 years...

In Australia our equation is easy- Administration Fees $0.00 and our Vaccine Injury Compensation Programme-ZERO.
A (VICP) does not exist in Australia, there were discussion about introducing a programme, (the discussions are printed in the January 2006, Australian Health Law Bulletin).

I think they (those who think they are in authority) are still discussing the matter!

Fuzzy Math of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
By Wayne Rohde When does $ 0.75 equal $ 0.56? The equation actually exists and only in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP). Specifically, the Vaccine Injury Trust Fund is where you will find the equation and the reason why. We all have been led to believe that for every...
@ onewayforsomebutnottheonlyway
...Vaccines can be the "icing on the cake," the wrong ingredient and the wrong time, etc. However, there are increasingly more and more environmental dangers (e.g. our food supply) that is so toxic to our digestive system (the immune system) that a genetically predisposed individual may still develop brain damage unless and until we stop poisoning ourselves...
Food may be laced with various toxins, but given that no-one has a blueprint of your DNA our bodies may very well be adapted to naturally excrete these toxins.
It may be the vaccines that trigger the Autism behaviour and all the more reason to screen or test our babies prior to vaccinating them?

Weekly Wrap: The Modern Treatment of Autism
By Dan Olmsted It was frustrating, but in a weird way fascinating, to sit through the House subcommittee hearing on the federal response to autism this week, and to hear Tom Insel lecture members of Congress – he called it a “teachable moment” – about the scientific method, why duplication is...
At the committee was Tom Insel hinting for more funding to do more studies to "maybe" find the cause of Autism.
Does he think that there is an endless pit of money out there that should be allocated to him because of his self-importance wanting to "maybe" find the cause of Autism.
This is all an "illusion of activity."

You are right, they [Wikipedia] use the word "consensus" to quickly "shut-down" their argument without providing any facts, studies or evidence.
I tried removing the word "fraudulent" on Wikipedia about Dr Andrew Wakefield. Wikipedia emailed me ..."the consensus is"...then blocked me from making any further corrections!

The Dismal Return of Brian Deer
By John Stone In the hubbub which followed Andrew Wakefield’s threat to sue Emily Willingham and Forbes Magazine Brian Deer thought he would take a bow in its on-line pages . As ever what immediately strikes is the lack of integrity of a scientific establishment which rests its case on the all...
If the petitioner's evidence was strong enough to show a vaccine injury link, then why not proceed through the courts?
Unless, "those in power" want to prevent any vaccine-injury compensations to become public knowledge.
The more people who know about vaccine-injuries, I guess the less that would vaccinate.
Australia does not have a "Vaccine Injury Compensation Programme."

Public Health Private Nuisance: When Vaccine Court Awards Injury Compensation
There is a cohesive push to label parents who choose alternative vaccination schedules as violating public trust, shirking their duty to society - one article recently compared our less or unvaccinated children to "loaded guns" to make them appear dangerous. Here is a factual account of the ve...

Good luck Dr Wakefield.

Tanner's Dad: 20 Reasons I Question Vaccine Safety
By Tim Welsh 20. I read Jenny McCarthy's Story. 19. I see the rise in Autism prevalence rate. 18. I believe Aidan Quinn 17. I can see it's "Still Controversial", Nancy (You and others now work for a pharmaceutical giants) 16. I read "All I Can Handle" by Kim Stagliano 15. I know we are n...
Our last study was conducted in 2004 with children born between 1992 & 1998. The rate 1:160
My child was born in 2002 and still hasn't been counted.
There have been no further "proper" studies commissioned to determine the prevalence of Autism in this country. There have many guesses ranging from 1:110 to 1:90 depending on who you speak to.
At the end of the day no-one has a clue!

New CDC Numbers Coming Tomorrow
by Kim Stagliano from a FB post ... and the rates are continuing to rise. How many more American children will have their lives - their families' lives radically changed by autism? Autism is a tough road - no matter how "affected." It changes everything in the same way that Alzheimer's does - ...
For the past three years I have joined the Autism walk to raise awareness for a good cause, but each year the numbers have dwindled.
Not because there are less children being diagnosed, but because the parents are too tired dealing with the day-to-day battles of Autism and an apathetic government.

John,
I have been blocked from editing on Wikipedia. I couldn't care less.
Interesting how Zackiegirl25 who has left posts in this thread has been using the same pseudonym I used in making my amendments to Andrew Wakefield's Wikipedia page.
I suggest all Age of Autism readers keep these Big Pharma trolls busy by editing the page as often as they can until they too get banned.
Keeping the truth about Dr Andrew Wakefield in Wikipedia is essential as Wikipedia is often the first resource many people go to when starting their research on a topic. (A bit like a medical case study to generate hypotheses for future studies - now where have I heard that before?)
Getting banned is a small price to pay in defence of a good man who simply told the truth.

In response to "Aussie Dad" and his amendments to Wikipedia's entry about Andrew Wakefield.
The following changes were made:
Paragraph 1 ..."fraudulent"... Aussie Dad removed.
Paragraph 1 ..."research paper in support of the now-discredited claim that there is"...Aussie Dad removed and replaced with ..."case study suggesting..."
A paragraph 2 was added by Aussie Dad ..."Dr Wakefield explained in a 2009 article "That Paper" a 7 page concise explanation of the reasons for the case study, the findings and the concerns it raised. For persons new to this controversy it is a good place to start to understand his position. [99]
http://www.wesupportandywakefield.com/documents/AutismFile_US33-Wakefield.pdf
A paragraph 3 was added by Aussie Dad It is of some note, however, that none of the parents of the children involved had any complaint whatsoever with Dr Wakefield nor the team at the Royal Free and their procedures.
Paragraph's 2 & 3 were completely removed by Wikipedia and ..."known for his fraudulent"... in paragraph one was returned.
The "hubby" and I had enough time to print these changes before Wikipedia stepped-in.

Weekly Wrap: Andy Wakefield and the Uses of Adversity
By Dan Olmsted Mainstream medical and media types have decided to kick Andy Wakefield in the terminal ilium again. As John Stone outlined in an AOA post on Monday, CNN (home of Anderson Cooper’s famously vile grilling) weighed in with a column by Frank Y. Yong titled, “Blind Eye to Scientific...
On November 2014, after serving 4 years in office (one term), we all head back to the polling booth for a State Election to either re-elect the current government or elect the opposition.
I was invited to attend a public forum as part of a review for our State and express my views on anything I was concerned about.
I told the forum how disappointed I was that during the last election, no politician from either side mentioned AUTISM.

There is more behind the contamination of vaccines than meets the eye!
A Perth family filed a civil action against CSL in the Federal Courts for a "defective" flu shot (Fluvax). It is one of Australia's largest medical compensation cases.
The four-year-old suffered fevers and febrile convulsions after receiving the Fluvax. She is now suffering from severe hypoxic brain injury and is left a quadriplegic with epilepsy and limited vision.
The family has a compelling case because CSL admitted that the Fluvax was defective and the vaccine was immediately withdrawn (three days after the little girl's shot).
...The Health Department's Paul Effler wrote in the Medical Journal of Australia that there had been insufficient studies into Fluvax's safety before it was rolled out in 2010...
To date there have been no further updates about the lawsuit in the news.
I clearly recall my son's doctor returning to his surgery with the MMR in his hands. As he was injecting my son his comment was ..."this is an old batch but it is still good!"... Apparently all the new batches of MMR had been used and he could only find an old batch. You have to wonder why this batch remained on the shelf!
