AGE OF AUTISM

No Way in Hell

By Kent Heckenlively, Esq.

The autism community may have found a new rallying cry.

On last Wednesday's Larry King Live show (Click here to find the Podcast of the show) on CNN Jenny McCarthy was asked if knowing what she knows now, would she choose to vaccinate another child.  “No way in hell,” she replied, and I felt my heart stop.

“No way in hell.”

HELP Committee Let Down

By J.B. Handley

Bummer. That’s my reaction after reading the report examining allegations of misconduct between CDC and IOM by the Senate HELP Committee.

From sources I trust, the folks at HELP seemed pretty genuine in getting to an answer, so I’m not going to second-guess what they concluded. At least we all now know that third world countries are still getting Thimerosal-containing vaccines.

DEWEY WINS!

Here is the HELP report from the "Executive Summary of the Ranking Member on Alleged Misconduct by Government Agencies and Private Entities Related to Thimerosal in Childhood Vaccines."  Most of the allegations were not substantiated.

Well, now that we know our government agencies are spiffy clean and always taking care of the American people, I guess we can all go back to playing with our lead filled toys and pop a Vioxx for the headache many of us feel approaching.

A-List for Autism

Check this out on MSN.  Jenny McCarthy and autism recovery are on the A-list.  And DAN! is listed right there on the top right.

Autism Speaks' Newest Fundraiser?

LONDON (Reuters) - A set of pearls once belonging to Marie Antoinette and taken to Britain by a friend for safekeeping will go on sale in December, and are expected to fetch up to $800,000.  Full story HERE.

We fully expect Autism Speaks to buy the pearls and use them for their next fund raiser or simply display them in their offices at Two Park Avenue in New York City.

"LET THEM EAT CAKE." Yes, gluten and casein free cake at that.

Sunshine and Cigarettes

By Cheryl Bailey

In the wake of Jenny McCarthy’s run away newest book, Louder Than Words, the CDC scrambles to once again set the public at large free of the guilt that toxins such as those found in childhood vaccines could ever cause autism.

David Kirby's Latest

Hop over to Huffington Post to read David Kirby's latest and greatest titled: CDC, Mercury in Vaccines.

The CDC reports Thimerosal may offer benefits including an increased IQ. Well then line up your children for 100 shots! But didn't CDC ask manufacturers to remove the Thimerosal in 1999 in case there was a safety issue, although they said there wasn't but pulled it anyway?  Oh gosh, it's all just so confusing. Perhaps that's the point?

AGAIN: A STUDY SHOWS NO LINK BETWEEN VACCINES AND AUTISM

By Anne McElroy Dachel

I listened to ABC NEWS tonight waiting for the story about the new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccines with mercury and autism.  I watched commercials for prescription pharmaceutical products like Advair and wondered what influence the drug industry has on ABC NEWS.  The ABC report on the CDC study again dismissed any suspicion that the mercury used in vaccination is linked to autism.

Jenny McCarthy Missile Sinks USS Gerberding

By J.B. Handley

I’m not sure why CDC employees wear sailor suits, but after Jenny McCarthy’s two week talk show romp, they’ll be bailing water out of battleship CDC for months to come.

On Larry King Live, Jenny ripped the hull right off the frame, going as far as to say there’s no way in hell she would vaccinate another child if she had one.
