(NaturalNews) According to a U.S. government survey just published, rates of autism in children have
doubled since 2003. Today, an estimated 1 in 91 children are being diagnosed with autism, making this the highest rate in any population in the history of human civilization. Meanwhile, the vaccination push in America continues, specifically targeting children with not just seasonal flu vaccines (which may contain thimerosal), but also the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.
It all begs the question:
Is there a link between vaccines and autism?In defending vaccines, many doctors have blamed
autism on a
genetic cause. But if it's genetic, why are rates skyrocketing so quickly? The gene pool obviously isn't changing that dramatically. There's no such thing as a "genetic epidemic." If genes caused autism, the rate of autism diagnosis should be holding steady year after year. Clearly, something else is at work,
causing the sharp increase in autism.
Autism is a neurological
disorder. If you're looking for the cause of autism, it only makes sense to look at
causes involving
environmental factors that expose children to
chemicals linked to neurological disorders. Vaccines immediately come to mind, not only because they contain
thimerosal -- a preservative made with methyl
mercury that's extremely toxic to the
nervous system -- but also because they contain
chemical adjuvants like
squalene, which directly cause inflammation of the nervous system.
So what happens when a nutrient-deficient
child is exposed to more than one hundred vaccines injected with thimerosal, squalene and other chemicals? It's not unreasonable to suspect that vaccines -- which inject these chemicals directly into the body -- might be one of the more obvious causes.
The
pharmaceutical industry (which thrives on vaccines) claims there is absolutely no link between vaccines and autism. Well of course they do! The entire future of pharmaceutical profit-making depends on the continued propagandizing of the myth that chemical intervention improves human
health. They're no more likely to find fault with their own vaccines than a cigarette company is to admit
cigarettes cause cancer.
"Asking the pharmaceutical industry to investigate the safety of vaccines is like asking Big Tobacco to investigate the safety of cigarettes.What's clear is that
rates have autism have paralleled the rise in children's vaccines. Each year we get more vaccines pushed onto
children, and each year we see increases in autism. Given that many vaccines contain a neurotoxic heavy metal (mercury) and neurotoxic adjuvants, it only seems reasonable to start looking at vaccines as one of the important contributing factors (if not the main cause) of autism.
Other factors for autism
There are likely other factors involved, and their danger potentially gets multiplied in the presence of methyl mercury from vaccines.
Monosodium glutamate (
MSG), for example, is a neurotoxin, too, and kids today are eating more and more foods laced with MSG as flavor enhancers. (It's found in canned soups, gravy mixes, salad dressings, snack dips, and virtually all "instant" microwaveable meals.) Look for "yeast extract" on
food labels: It's a covert source of MSG that manufacturers use to avoid having to place "MSG" on the ingredients label.
There's also
aspartame and diet sodas. Aspartame is a potent neurotoxin that could be making the nervous system especially vulnerable to damage from vaccines. Beyond chemical food ingredients, the human nervous system can also be compromised by pain
drugs administered during childbirth, antidepressant drugs or diabetes drugs given to expectant mothers, or even the highly
toxic chemicals commonly found in "baby care" products used in hospitals around the world.
Even before they're born, most first-world babies are exposed to a toxic stew of synthetic chemicals. The chemical invasion of a
vaccine injection might be the one final blow that sends the nervous system in a downward spiral of destruction.
The facts cannot be denied:
Our children are being neurologically poisoned by chemicals, and vaccines are one of the most worrisome sources of chemical suspects. In my opinion, any parent subjecting their child to vaccines today is directly putting their child in harm's way. They are risking their child's life in order to comply with a highly unethical, profit-focused vaccine push that has but one objective: To sell more dangerous pharmaceutical chemicals to children who don't need them.
There will be a day in the future, I'm sure, when injecting a child with a neurotic chemical will be considered a felony crime, punishable by years in prison. Until that day comes, this same criminal act is innocuously called "administering a vaccine."
