Ben Swann Update: Congressman’s Office In Possession of 100,000 CDC Whistleblower Documents?
From BenSwann.com
Congressman Bill Posey’s office has confirmed exclusively to Benswann.com that a “very large number” of documents have been turned over by CDC scientist, Dr. William Thompson, who has admitted that the CDC suppressed information about the links between the MMR vaccine and autism in some cases.
According to Congressman Posey’s spokesman, George Cecala, “I can confirm that we have received a very large number of documents and we are going through those documents now. There are a lot of them, so it will take some time.” Cecala could not say exactly how many documents are in possession of the Congressman’s staff though sources tell me that as many as 100,000 documents have been handed over.
As we have reported, a statement released on August 27th by Dr. Thompson in response to media coverage is that he and co-authors from a 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics did in fact omit important information from a study on the link between vaccines and autism. Below is an excerpt from Thompson’s statement.
While Thompson goes on to explain that he believes that vaccines have saved and continue to save lives, he clearly admits that the CDC did in fact intentionally omit data that demonstrated a connection between an increased risk of autism in African American males who were giving the MMR vaccine before 36 months of age....

Folks, please stop falling for the bait.
There's an overwhelming majority of informed people on this site, but if I could lust put it in "laymans" terms for the hard of thinking.
Autism 30-40 years ago was relatively rare...something around 1 in 2000 I think. There's a scene in the movie the Rain Man where the nurse didn't even know what it was. Just like the general public, back then. Today, the CDC admits 1 in 68. And they're adamant on their vaccine policy is sound.
So what's changed? Something introduced in the environment is the obvious cause. So, what is it? Water, air, pesticides, GMO, climate change...banana peels? We can all agree that the exponential rise is not genetic, unless of course you want to blame it on inbreeding.
That said, we have countless parents crying out because their child became mentally debilitated shortly after receiving an MMR shot. ASD diagnosis, nothing to see here...and you're crazy for thinking it was the dhot your child received the other day.
PEOPLE, WAKE UP!!!
This is like denying that the rattle snake made you sick! It's incredibly obvious, and pretty darn conclusive if you ask me. To hell with the science, we don't need it. So don't get lured into an endless debate while our kids are being harmed.

Michael,
Vaccines are not good. It is absolutely a risk/benefit question. Vaccines may usually give the recipient immunity to the targeted disease for a limited, uncertain length of time. It's just up to the parent or recipient to decide if he thinks the disease is enough of a real and present danger to him to warrant taking the risk of the vaccine. Some vaccines are more dangerous than others. The MMR, hep-B, flu, pertussis, and HPV vaccines are so dangerous that I don't think many people would ever get any of them if they were completely informed. The polio vaccine seems to be one of the safer ones, though the live version can sometimes paralyze and both versions have caused grievous harm in some. Dr. Sears said the Hib vaccine was the least reactive, but I think he was unaware that it causes peanut allergies. I was unaware of that until two years ago, which goes to show you that no one can know all the dangers of any vaccine. Even apart from the toxic ingredients and highly allergenic foreign proteins in most vaccines, the individual immune system often reacts too vigorously to any vaccine, resulting in encephalitic brain damage or autoimmune disease. Since any vaccine can cause death or disability in some, or in many, of those who get it, I don't think you can say any of them are good. All of them are dangerous. It just depends on whether you think the danger of a disease is so great you're willing to risk death or disability by taking the vaccine. And in any individual case, you might be right, you might have saved yourself from death from tetanus or meningitis, but you probably haven't, and you'll never know for sure one way or the other. But vaccine damage is very real and it is forever.

What you say is not entirely without point but also ultimately mistaken. First of all it is only the stand of some of the people here that all vaccines are inherently bad, however, the problem is the culture - ruthless promotion, ruthless denial, ever epanding programme, mandates, immunity from prosectuion for manufacturers, basic absence of all real checks and balances, hit and run... You need to get back to old fashioned medical and scientific ethics, proper institutional safeguards, otherwise all you have is mountains of damage and humbug.

Michelle,
You have asked a very prescient question actually "Which vaccine are we talking about?"
This is precisely the point that our media wants to avoid, focusing specifically on "all vaccines" when referring to "anti-vaccine" or the mythical movement. You are correct, in that this is not about "vaccines" but specific vaccines and how they are produced, delivered, promoted and their side effects.
When the argument gets framed into "vaccines are good" and "vaccines are bad" by the media, they are deliberately trying to create an illusion that creates opposing sides in a battle, when the issue should be entirely about product safety and corporate malfeasance.
What ends up happening is exactly how you feel, the MMR may be dangerous... but vaccines are good. Thimerosal is toxic poison (on the label of the bottle)... but vaccines are good. Subsets of kids *will* get autism from the MMR and vaccines with Thimerosal... but vaccines are good.
This is not an accident that you, and likely a majority of the country are feeling this way. Parents of autistic kids are not in control of the framing of terms though, but Disney is, as is Merck and Turner Broadcasting Co.

Michael, the subject is much more nuanced than you are making it out to be since vaccines are not tested physiologically, only epidemiologically. We have added a great many to the schedule, compared to 30 years ago. Many European countries do not have so many. Very few countries administer hep b at birth.
BTW, have you been in a school lately- it is full of children with all kinds of neurological problems, someone mentioned auto-immune problems increasing around 900% for young women. And maybe you are meaning people who are only mildly affected by autism but many cannot communicate, even with devices. The unemployment rate is somewhere like 98% and conservative estimates put cost of autism over lifespan at around 6-8 million. The incidence is at least 1 in 42 boys, probably greater according to Early Childhood experts. -Get the message-

Michelle = we had a president with Polio. Francis Ford Coppola had Polio. My girls have autism. They can not cross the street safetly. They are risk of rape and abuse every day. They can not dress themselves, make their meals completely, speak in full sentences. Your comparison is cruel and not very well thought out - please reconsider your words. Thank you. KIM

I hate this debate because it's always so "umbrella". Which vaccine are we talking about? All of them? Some of them? Just one of them? Is it the measles vac? Or the HPV vac? or the polio vac? I have a hard time believing that all vaccines are the same and that they all carry the same risk. This just cannot be true. I also have a hard time believing that someone would choose to risk their child catching polio to protect them from autism, have you seen how ugly the polio is? Or measles? I mean that stuff kills people, autism on the other hand you still get to live and walk.

University of Calgary faked and fudged data in at least 9 studies to do with Alzheimers. This is why universities should not be corporatized. We like our science honsest. Please.

Just to thank Mr Thompson again.. none of this would be out if it were not for his bravery.
MMR RIP
