The Autism Link

As you read this story, I want you to imagine the sound of me hitting my head against the wall. The EPA has confirmed that 1988 was one of the turning points in the rise of autism in the US. And for 22 years, no one has been able to pinpoint the cause. Vaccinations and Autism Most parents point to vaccinations and possible mercury or something that triggers the autism. Lots of parents have stories about how there child changed just AFTER getting their vaccination. Study after study has been done pooh-poohing parents' concerns. The vaccine is safe, they said. And yet there is a huge anti-vaccination movement. But now the EPA admits that that's one of the dates when they changed how the common vaccines were being produced. They started adding "cells derived from the tissue of aborted babies". What a loaded statement! Lots of ammo for the Pro-Life side. But wait, that's not the point that was always being denied. They ARE using cells from the tissue of aborted babies. No, they just denied that there was any connection between the news process and autism. The obvious question is, Did you really have to use tissue from aborted babies? Lessons From a Mad Cow But here's another question. Have they not heard of Mad Cows Disease? You see there were these few cows that had the disease. But the general practice was to ground dead cows' brains into feed for other cows. Sort of a waste-not-want-not type of deal. Anyway, the disease spread because the healthy cows were eating brains from diseased cows. Duh. And that's why there is no more epidemic. They stopped the practice. Double duh. The use of aborted fetal tissue is still just a correlation, not a scientific cause and effect. But isn't that enough to stop the practice? Maybe the occasional aborted baby has autism that is somehow transmitted to other kids in the vaccine. Study After Study For 22 years this has been denied and parents have insisted. But this is all about abortion politics so it's a protected subject. As recently as March of this year, the US Institute of Medicine denied there was a link between the vaccines and autism because of mercury. That was designed to say the vaccines were safe and ally fears.  But their study didn't mention the aborted fetal tissue.  I wonder why? I'd love to know why the EPA came out with this study now. Maybe something is past the date it can be prosecuted? They will be presenting their 'new findings' in May. We'll have to wait and see LifeSiteNews.com (Apr 23, 2010) - Study Confirms Autism Boom - Correlates with Aborted Fetal DNA in Vaccines A recent study by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has confirmed 1988 as a “change point” in the rise of Autism Disorder rates in the U.S. - a date that pro-life leaders say correlates with the introduction of fetal cells for use in vaccines. While the EPA study does not speculate into the cause of the jump in autism rates, and makes no mention of aborted fetal cells, the researchers point out that it “is important to determine whether a preventable exposure to an environmental factor may be associated with the increase.” According to the pro-life group Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute (SCPI), which specializes in vaccine research, that “environmental factor” may well be the use of aborted fetal cells in vaccines. ...
