SICK MONKEYS: RESEARCH LINKS VACCINE LOAD, AUTISM SIGNS
The first research project to examine effects of the total vaccine load received by children in the 1990s has found autism-like signs and symptoms in infant monkeys vaccinated the same way. The study's principal investigator, Laura Hewitson from the University of Pittsburgh, reports developmental delays, behavior problems and brain changes in macaque monkeys that mimic "certain neurological abnormalities of autism."
The findings are being reported Friday and Saturday at a major international autism conference in London.
Although couched in scientific language, Hewitson's findings are explosive. They suggest, for the first time, that our closest animal cousins develop characteristics of autism when subjected to the same immunizations – such as the MMR shot -- and vaccine formulations – such as the mercury preservative thimerosal -- that American children received when autism diagnoses exploded in the 1990s.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The link below is an example from Olympia, Wash., of a heartening trend -- good local coverage of autism including a balanced discussion of parents' concerns about vaccines. By and large, as many of you know first-hand, local media do a much better job than the national media. I believe that's because they know the people they write about and their role in the community and are respectful of their first-hand experience, whereas national media know the "experts" and are convinced by their data and their dogma.

Editor's Note: Earlier this month I was interviewed by Coy Barefoot on his Charlottesville, Va., radio show. Coy is the parent of a child with autism and a strong advocate of the approach embraced by Age of Autism. In this conversation we touch on everything from the earliest cases to the continuing rise in the California numbers to -- of course -- the launch of the Age of Autism. Here's the link to the podcast, which is about 15 minutes long.
