The findings are not only disturbing to government officials like U.S. Rep. Dave Weldon, M.D. (R-FL), who is also scheduled to speak before the IOM panel, they suggest autism via TCVs has a higher relative risk than that between lung cancer and smoking, which according to the American Cancer Society is only 22 for men and 11 for women. "This absolutely confirms what parents have been saying for years," says Jo Pike, President, National Autism Association. Like Pike, thousands of parents have reported sharp regressions in their children following a TCV and many of those children have gone on to receive a label of autism. An easy mistake to make since the symptoms of autism and mercury poisoning are almost identical.
The statement in bold contradicts the statement preceding it. Is thimerosil causing autism, or is it causing mercury poisoning that is misdiagnosed as autism? He will discuss the results from his peer-reviewed study which concluded that urinary mercury concentrations were six times higher in children with autism vs. normal-age/vaccine-matched controls.
What the heck does this mean? Are these actual autism cases, or mercury poisoning cases? How long after the vaccine was administered? What are the urinary mercury levels of non-autistic or non-mercury poisoned children who received thimerosil vaccines? This article is a mess.
