“FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-AUGUST 27,2014

STATEMENT OF WILLIAM W. THOMPSON, Ph.D., REGARDING THE 2004 ARTICLE EXAMINING THE POSSIBILITY OF A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MMR VACCINE AND AUTISM

My name is William Thompson. I am a Senior Scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where I have worked since 1998.

I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.

...”

Ie, they had data that showed a 300+% increase in autism following MMR adminstration, and deliberately left it out. Note that the name ‘Thompson’ is not the same as ‘Wakefield’.

Most of the autism nonsense is from a single Lancet article. Since that time, reams of studies have been done to debunk the causal relationship between autism and vaccinations.

You clearly have a **pecuniary** interest in this hysteria. The CDC is as corruptible as any lawyer, as any highly placed NASA "scientist" at the NOAA. Let me pause to cast the deepest, darkest, loudest aspersions on the filthy SOBs who would make a whole nation vulnerable to nearly-erradicated diseases to LINE THEIR PURSES.

Autism remains a mystery, which is why the vaccination angle was a rope to cling to for so long. There are many theories and millions of dollars are going to find out why the incidence of autism has increased. Interestingly, one clue that keeps turning up is the relative age of the father at the time of birth.

Maybe old men should stay away from young wives and mothers? We could SUE them.

Come on, why cut off the rest of the statement? If you’re going to quote his statement, finish it...

‘’I want to be absolutely clear that I believe vaccines have saved and continue to save countless lives. I would never suggest that any parent avoid vaccinating children of any race. Vaccines prevent serious diseases, and the risks associated with their administration are vastly outweighed by their individual and societal benefits.’’
