CDC’s Vaccine Safety Research is Exposed as Flawed and
Falsified in Peer-Reviewed Scientific Journal
Substantial Scientific Evidence Exists that Vaccine
Ingredient is a Developmental Neurotoxin

Just months after U.S. Congressman Bill Posey compared the Center
for Disease Control (CDC)’s vaccine safety studies to the SEC’s
Bernie Madoff scandal, malfeasance in the CDC’s studies of
thimerosal-containing vaccines has, for the first time, been
documented in peer-reviewed scientific literature. While the CDC
states on its website that “low doses of thimerosal in vaccines do
not cause harm, and are only associated with minor local injection
site reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site,”
the journal BioMed Research International now provides direct
evidence that the CDC’s safety assurances about the
mercury-containing preservative are not fact-based, according to
the article’s lead author, Brian Hooker, PhD.
The paper opens by citing over 165 studies that have found
Thimerosal to be harmful, including 16 studies that had reported
outcomes in human infants and children of death, acrodynia,
poisoning, allergic reaction, malformations, auto-immune reaction,
Well’s syndrome, developmental delay and neurodevelopmental
disorders including tics, speech delay, language delay, ADHD and
autism. These findings by multiple independent research groups
over the past 75+ years have consistently found thimerosal to be
harmful. “Substantial scientific evidence exists and has existed
for many years that the vaccine ingredient thimerosal is a
developmental neurotoxin” says George Lucier, former Associate
Director of the National Toxicology Program.
Studies showing harm from thimerosal sharply contradict published
outcomes of six CDC coauthored and sponsored papers – the very
studies that CDC relies upon to declare that thimerosal is “safe”
for use in infant and maternal vaccines. Dr. Hooker, biochemist
and vaccine industry watchdog, said of the six CDC studies, “Each
of these papers is fatally flawed from a statistics standpoint and
several of the papers represent issues of scientific malfeasance.
For example, important data showing a relationship between
thimerosal exposure and autism are withheld from three of the
publications (Price et al. 2010, Verstraeten et al. 2003 and
Madsen et al. 2003). This type of cherry-picking of data by the
CDC in order to change the results of important research studies
to support flawed and dangerous vaccination policies should not be
tolerated.”
Dr. Boyd Haley, international expert in mercury toxicity and a
co-author of the recently published paper said “There is no doubt
that authorities in the CDC have initiated and participated in a
cover-up of vaccine-induced damage from thimerosal to our
children—-and this I consider criminal.” The paper,
“Methodological Issues and Evidence of Malfeasance in Research
Purporting to Show Thimerosal in Vaccines is Safe,” was published
on June 6 and contains eight pages of evidence that the CDC has
had knowledge of the vaccine preservative’s neurological risks,
yet continues to cover them up.
The paper concludes, “five of the publications examined in this
review were directly commissioned by the CDC, raising the possible
issue of conflict of interests or research bias, since vaccine
promotion is a central mission of the CDC. Conceivably, if serious
neurological disorders are found to be related to Thimerosal in
vaccines, such findings could possibly be viewed as damaging to
the vaccine program.”
Dr. Hooker has submitted over 100 FOIA requests to the CDC over
the past 10 years and has amassed thousands of pages of documents
showing malfeasance in the CDC’s vaccine safety program. Hooker
revealed that one CDC document quoted a top official instructing
CDC employees to “Review all correspondences and documents to see
if there is ‘foreseeable harm’ to the agency if they were
released” so the documents could be redacted by CDC attorneys
prior to release.
Barry Segal, founder of the Focus Autism Foundation and former
entrepreneur whose company sales peaked near $2 billion said, “We
are in the process of exposing what may be the biggest federal
scandal ever with immense damage to our economy and our people,
especially our children who are the future of our country. Their
health has been compromised by mercury in vaccines. We need
Congress to take action now. Thimerosal must be banned.”
A more effective vaccine preservative “2PE” has replaced
thimerosal in many other vaccines and possesses a much better
safety profile according to Dr. Hooker.
The Focus Autism Foundation is dedicated to providing information
to the public that exposes the cause or causes of the autism
epidemic and the rise of chronic illnesses – focusing specifically
on the role of vaccinations.
