I can’t believe that I am writing this blog eight months after my last post on this issue. More and more children continue to get the MMR vaccine even though a 2004 CDC MMR study was falsified to hide the fact that the MMR vaccine was found to significantly increase the risk of autism in boys who received it. Our children are currently suffering with an autism epidemic as nearly one in fifty children currently have autism. Where are the Congressional hearings? Where is the media?
Let me recap what has been happening with this story. A CDC whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson co-authored a 2004 CDC study which claimed the MMR vaccine was not associated with autism. In 2014, Dr. Thompson admitted that the 2004 CDC study was altered to hide a 240% increase in autism in African American children who were vaccinated before 36 months of age when compared to those vaccinated later. Furthermore, there was a 69% increase risk in autism in all male children who received the MMR vaccine before 36 months. (1) Under emotional and mental distress over what happened, Dr. Thompson contacted Brian Hooker, PhD who has a son with autism caused by vaccine injury. Dr. Thompson gave Dr. Hooker the missing 2004 data which Dr. Hooker published in August, 2014 in the Translational Neurodegeneration Journal. (2) I wrote about this issue four times. The last blog post can be found here: http://112.196.20.91/drbrownstein/?p=647.
Today, I called Florida Congressman Bill Posey—who represents Florida’s 8th district. Mr. Posey has been identified on the internet as the Congressman who is going to call a hearing on this story. Mr. Posey serves on the Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Remember, this story started to break in August, 2014 when Dr. Hooker published the true data. So, here we are, eight months later and nothing has happened. No hearings. No media stories. Nothing.
Well, something has happened as tens of thousands of U.S. children have been given the MMR vaccine, and parents have not been told the truth about the vaccine.
When I called Dr. Posey’s office, I was adamant that I wanted to know why a hearing has not been called to study what happened at the CDC. I was transferred to a senior aide who calmed me down and answered my questions. He was very helpful. He stated that Mr. Posey does not think his committee has the jurisdiction to cover this story. Mr. Posey and his staff are trying to find which committee would be most suitable to hear this case. When I expressed my frustration about how long this is taking, the aide stated that these things take time. I reminded him that every day Mr. Thompson’s testimony is not heard is another day that more children will be exposed to a vaccine that may be causing the autism epidemic we are currently facing.
The aide told me that what needs to happen is that people need to call their own congressmen and congresswomen and tell them that the CDC whistleblower story needs to be investigated. He said that Mr. Posey’s office has all of the documents and will turn them over to any committee that has jurisdiction over this story. He also commented that Mr. Posey and his staff are well aware of the importance of this story and that they want an appropriate congressional committee to investigate the matter. Finally, he told me that Mr. Posey will not let this story die. I appreciate that.
Here’s what we all need to do: CALL OUR CONGRESSMEN AND CONGESSSWOMEN. Educate them about the CDC whistleblower story and tell them that we need a hearing on this. I believe Mr. Posey’s office understands that this story needs a complete hearing. Now, it is our job to get the rest of congress to listen. Big Pharma does not want this story to come out. They will fight tooth and nail to keep a lid on it. If we don’t take action, Big Pharma will win and this story will not come out.
IT IS UP TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US WHO CARES ABOUT OUR CHILDREN’S HEALTH TO CALL OUR CONGRESSPEOPLE! My Senator is GaryPeters. His phone number is: 202.224.6221. My Representative is Brenda Lawrence. Her phone number is: 202.225.5802. Both will be hearing from me tomorrow.
You can find your congressperson easily by going here: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/.
Folks, either we exert our power and contact our elected people or this story will never be heard. I guarantee you that Big Pharma will squash it without our attention. We can win this one if each of us takes a few minutes to call our Senators and Representatives.

Information on how human dna in vaccines affect our DNA.
David
Dr. B
I am wandering if you have heard of the work of Dr Theresa Deisher. She has written a published paper on autism change points.
http://academicjournals.org/article/article1411048618_Deisher%20et%20al.pdf
In the paper she has found data that when they introduced vaccines grown on human diploid cell lines there is a change in the number of children that develop autism. She has also noted in an interview that all the drug companies were developing all their new vaccines on human diploid cells prior to her research since her research has come to light they have all switched to animal or plant cells. But the Drug companies are not changing the current vaccines so they continue to kill the future of more children.
Thanks for Speaking up
David
No jurisdiction, my ass.
Hi Dr. B!
I love your website and am so happy to find an MD as open and honest as you! What is frustrating to me is that for those of us that wish to go into the medical field, schools or should I say the “clinical sites” are requiring us to be vaccinated. Many won’t accept titers. There are changes that need to be made all over in regards to vaccination!!! Vaccines should be a choice for all of us, no matter how old we are or where we want to work! I would rather wear a face mask and load up on 1000’s of mg of Vit C than take those vaccinations! For those who have a say in hospital settings, please, please, please look at the research out there. Fear will only hurt us. We can not allow mandated vaccinations at any level!
Dr. B., can you formulate a preparation that will help children and adults detox from vaccinations? Your “Total Liver Care” formula is great for the liver, kidneys, and colon, but – is it appropriate for this? Because it’s going to be a long while before the government changes its insistence on vaccinations. Thank you.
Senator Vaccine Update: Well, I went a step further than my state Rep. that I have known personally since middle school, because I got no response. This past Saturday I had the pleasure of talking face to face with our National Congressional Homeland Security Chairman, our own Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson.
I asked two questions, one about Social Security Disability and helping those that want to get off come off in a manner that isn’t financially destructive/disruptive. The second was his take on the liberties of those that choose not to vaccinate their children. He was very cordial and spoke with my wife, his director and myself separately face to face. I appreciated that, but in a very clear and concise way as he always is said: “Well, I am very pro-vaccine”. He went on to site his example of the whooping cough killing children. Well, vaccines is certainly an issue that has no party. That response didn’t leave much of an opening but I did mention to him about the data Florida Rep. Posey was sitting on and told him that what they do might affect my vote. That actually got his attention for the moment but not enough to matter I am afraid. I submitted to his director and his staff the info. Karen offered here along with my SSD questions very clearly. As others have said, I think these people just don’t want to touch this stuff either way. I figured since this was the guy that got Hillary to yell, “what difference does it make!”, he might get something rolling and not be affraid to ask questions no matter what he believed. I also figured that since I also talked face to face with the director who is the chair for Minority Outreach about the factors in the info on African Americans it might also get things really going as they should. At least spur a little interest. Well, very quickly his staff and director responded to me via email two days latter on the SSD issues but not a mention of the letter Karen wrote and I submitted about the CDC and Posey. I was and am very grateful for the time they offered me. They made me feel the equal, but what I hoped for was for naught in this case. Try, try and try again. It seems like a loosing battle but its worth fighting the good fight for truth.
Dr. Brownstein,
I notice that you conveniently left Wakefield’s name out of it even though Thompson and Hooker are closely linked to him….
Marleen,
I wrote about Dr. Wakefield in previous posts. The CDC article was not Dr. Wakefield’s article.
DrB
I sent the letter Karen came up with to our Wisconsin state rep. Nygren. Hoping for the best and believing for it.
What people fail to understand is that this whole thing is all about control, not money.
Thank you Dr. Brownstein for contacting Congressman Posey’s office and for this update. Thank you, Karen, for putting together that letter! As suggested, I called and emailed my Congressman and did hear back from his local office who referred my concerns to his Washington DC office. I received a phone call from his Washington office and was told that I should contact members of the House Energy & Commerce Committee. My Congressman sits on the House Ways & Means Committee and House Ethics Committee. His staff member advised that this does not fall under his jurisdiction and has to go through the appropriate committee. I honestly don’t understand who does what in our political system and thought that “Energy & Commerce” sounded strange, but if Energy & Commerce is the way to go, here’s a link to the members: https://energycommerce.house.gov/. I hoped that Congressman Posey was going to be the one to get this going; but I’m feeling more and more that no one wants to touch this issue. If anyone has further information or suggestions, please share. Thank you very much!
Jeanette,
I feel like you do. We no longer have an advocate like Congressman Burton was. No one wants to touch this because Big Pharma is too powerful and has too many lobbyists and too much money. However, we must persist in calling them. They will respond if enough people contact their congressmen and congresswomen.
DrB
This is in answer to a question asked by Diane who wanted to know how to treat a child who is unvaccinated when they contract one of the childhood viruses. There are two avenues, both involve using homeopathics. For instance, if a child contracts whopping cough a homeopathic physician can prescribe a remedy which will stop the virus in its tracks and allow the body to heal itself. Also, if a parent does not want to vaccinate there are homeopathic forms of the vaccines that do not have the terrible side effects inherent in the pharma vaccines. These are systemically used in countries where cholera and other epidemics break out and entire populations need to be protected. Unfortunately, the U.S. is not open to this common sense and low cost approach.
I find this very interesting that this story came out on yahoo just days after Dr. Brownstein’s blog. It makes me even more suspicious of Big Pharma.

Perry, I agree. Patricia has fallen for the “science as consensus” idea debunked by Michael Crichton MD in his Caltech Michelin Lecture on January 17, 2003:
“I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had. Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.”
The very fact that Thompson admitted he and his coauthors fudged the results is evidence that “scientific consensus” can be bought, just like it was with leaded gasoline, tobacco, and pesticides, and many other things.
Sounds like Patricia is “bought” just as much as the corrupt doctors…
Tell your story to the parents of the previously-perfectly-normal-but-now-damaged-after-getting-a-vaccine children.
I set up a website before the New Year to help organize a campaign to get Congress to investigate this critical issue: bit.ly/cdcfraud/. There’s background info, sample letters, and links to Congressional offices. Thank you for following up on this, Dr. B. It’s B.S. that Posey’s office doesn’t know which committee should investigate. When Rep. Dan Burton investigated vaccines and autism in the 1990s (look where that got us), he was on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Subcommittee on Health Care. Posey’s office knows who should investigate; they just have to find someone with the political will and firepower to take on the issue.
Jon,
You bring up a good point. I miss Rep. Dan Burton!
DrB
Dr. B,
Have you seen the new Trace Amounts documentary released this month?
It does a good job of exposing and showing detailed evidence of the blatant cover up by the CDC of the real scientific data.
http://traceamounts.com/
I bought a digital copy of the movie when it was released April 2nd and watched it, and it was a real eye opener. They also offer digital rentals. Worth watching for anyone concerned about this issue!
the argument of what causes autism has been going on for at least 30 yrs or more. what i don`t get is why would all these children`s Drs. not take a stand. They can`t all agree that it isn`t the vaccines. I have been very Lucky autism didn`t affect my grandchildren. I hate to think that well educated Drs. don`t want to find the truth and quit poisoning the babies that are their patients. The parents went to them for the best for their children, now their left with so much guilt! don`t any of the drs. feel guilty?Thank you again for telling the vaccine story and all you do and the time you spend in trying to inform people. kd
I copied the http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ link and entered it into my browser, but didn’t get the US senate/representatives, but the state ones instead. Did you mean for this to happen? Are we to tell our state reps or our US ones?
it is amazing to me that so many people fall for this kind of b.s.
what this guy is claiming are out and out lies, and that people believe it amazes me.
there has only been one study, a 1998 a fraudulent research paper in the medical journal raised the issue of a connection.
The author of the original research paper, had multiple undeclared conflicts of interest, had manipulated evidence, and had broken other ethical codes. The Lancet paper was partially retracted in 2004, and fully retracted in 2010, when The Lancet’s editor-in-chief Richard Horton described it as “utterly false” and said that the journal had been “deceived.” The author was found guilty by the General Medical Council of serious professional misconduct in May 2010 and was struck off the Medical Register, meaning he could no longer practice as a doctor in the UK In 2011, further information on Wakefield’s improper research practiceswere reported to the British medical journal, BMJ, which in a signed editorial described the original paper as fraudulent.
The scientific consensus is that no evidence links the MMR vaccine to the development of autism, and that this vaccine’s benefits greatly outweigh its risks.
Today, a new supposed debunking of MMR –> autism in JAMA. I see some obvious flaws in this study but would love to hear Dr. B.’s take.
http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2275444
I wish your blog title was more factual. “Genocide” (per Merriam-Webster) is “the deliberate killing of people who belong to a particular racial, political, or cultural group”. While the autism impact of our current vaccine regime is terrible – and absolutely demands honest and urgent attention – using a word like ‘genocide’ just makes your voice lose credibility in my opinion and perhaps that of others.
Fay,
If you read my article you will notice that the highest rate was in African American children. This would not be the first time that the Powers-That-Be covered up a medical ‘study’ that harmed African American people–look up the syphilis Tuskegee study. If the CDC covered up a vaccine study that showed a significant increase in Autism in African American Males then genocide is more than appropriate. Furthermore, if the CDC covered up a study that found a significant increase in autism in children in general, then covered it up, then I am sticking with genocide–unless the whistle blower recants his story.
I have seen enough parents tell me the same story: my child was well until he/she had a vaccination and everything changed overnight. We have one in 68 U.S. children presently diagnosed with autism. If the vaccines are responsible, or partly responsible, and the Powers-That-Be covered it up–then I am calling it genocide.

Dr. Brownstein, you may want to consider your own Change.org petition where you can get the facts out to more than a million people across the country. Change.org has been a valuable tool in moving issues forward and can (somehow) be set up to allow respondents to send letters to their congresspersons.
Thank you for these articles. My daughter and her husband were scared to death by an ER dr. who said he had a child die on him because of whooping cough. It seems a lot of parents make their decisions based on fear…I’m afraid my child will get the disease/virus, or I’m afraid my child will get autism. I chose not to vaccinate my 4 now adult children. It was a step of faith as I didn’t know what I would do if my children got the virus/disease. I would like to see more information out there on how to help a child if they get the virus to give parents more confidence, some type of go to guide.
A friend’s 6 mos old baby caught whooping cough this past winter and with the help of Dr Suzanne Humphries was able to work through it. She was so thankful she had someone so caring walking along side her to advise.
Diane,
Parents make tough decisions everyday. Parents should be allowed to decide if their child is vaccinated or not vaccinated.
DrB
Here is a sample letter I drew up from Dr. B’s blog post. Feel free to use it as a template to write your own US senators and representatives, and please correct me if I have missed any important details:
Dear Representative/Senator. __________,
I would like to alert you to a very disturbing situation which Congress needs to look into. Below is an explanation of what has happened thus far with the falsification of CDC data concerning the MMR vaccine and the staggering increase in autism rates:
A CDC whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson co-authored a 2004 CDC study which claimed the MMR vaccine was not associated with autism. In 2014, Dr. Thompson admitted that the 2004 CDC study was altered to hide a 240% increase in autism in African American children who were vaccinated before 36 months of age when compared to those vaccinated later. Furthermore, there was a 69% increase risk in autism in all male children who received the MMR vaccine before 36 months. (1) Under emotional and mental distress over what happened, Dr. Thompson contacted Brian Hooker, PhD who has a son with autism caused by vaccine injury. Dr. Thompson gave Dr. Hooker the missing 2004 data which Dr. Hooker published in August, 2014 in the Translational Neurodegeneration Journal. (2) (For more information, please consult Dr. David Brownstein, MD’s website: https://www.drbrownstein.com
(1) Pediatrics. Vol. 113, N.2. Feb 1, 2004.
(2) Translational Neurodegeneration. 3:16. 2014
Rep. Bill Posey of Florida’s 8th Congressional District (and a doctor himself) has all the documentation pertaining to this troubling data. He does not feel that his committee has the jurisdiction to call hearings to investigate the matter.
Would you please look into this matter and put pressure on the committee leadership that would be in charge of these matters? Drs. Thompson and Hooker need to come before Congress and explain how the MMR vaccine affects autism rates. This is a national tragedy that will continue to wreak terrible harm on our young children if not investigated rigorously.
Thank you for your help with this important matter.
Sincerely,
Karen,
GREAT job. I like!
DrB
Sadly, vaccine makers have no incentive to change their ways. They make huge profits but are totally protected from lawsuits because Congress granted them immunity in 1986. We the taxpayers are paying for
the damages they are causing. Sound familiar? Privatizing profits while socializing risk!! If you want to change this, please sign this petition on Moveon.org.
http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/repeal-immunity-for-drug
Kindly pass this on to everyone you know. Together, hopefully, we can make a difference!
Dr. B,
Thanks so very much for your leadership on these and related issues! Folks like yourself, and Dr Mercola, and others are a godsend, and you guys will be the ones we’ll thank later from saving us from this medical malpractice! I’m writing this from Ohio, and I will be contacting my congressmen on this issue in the next few days…
If you haven’t already, please, please, PLEEEEASE get a copy of “Dissolving Illusions – disease, vaccines, and the forgotten history”, and read it ASAP!! I’m 2/3 of the way into this book, and I’ve never read something so well dicumented (in fact the authors specifically state that they wrote the book using mostly documentary text for the sole purpose of telling the story based on the facts of the time, from other people’s perspectives so that the book would be that much more believable. And it is. It’s impossible to see so much documentation, so many genuine old photographs of sick patients, of animals from the 1800s, having “cow / small pox” pus taken from their bodies and crudely slimed into a scratched up patient’s arm as a
“vaccine”, etc, etc, and NOT have to give a ton of credibility to this book. And once the credibility is thus firmly estsblished in the reader’s brain, it’s impossible NOT to be convinced that vaccines never really were the answer! The authors proove that smallpox, and measles, and polio were never eradicated through vaccination!!! Please read this book, and then consider a blog post on it, as well – your reach is much greater than mine!! This book, honestly, could singlehandedly bring down – rightfully so – the entire aura, and misunderstanding, and misinformation about everything “vaccine” that’s been out
there for decades …. We will probably have to whisk the authors away to some “undisclosed location”, because big Pharma’s blood will absolutely BOIL if / when this book goes mainstream. No joke – this book will bring it all crashing down….
Becky,
Dissolving Illusions is a wonderful book that I highly recommend.
DrB
I will do this tomorrow in Colorado where I live. Thank you being who you are, and shining the flashlight for the rest of us.
🙂
Dr B.,
Thank you for all your excellent efforts on bringing this scandal to the forefront. I will contact my representatives as you are urging us.
Have you seen the DVD ” Bought ” by Jeff Hays Films? It really brings out the vaccine disasters that so many families are coping with. It is a powerful documentary that should also be forwarded to our representatives. We have to demand to be heard.
Jim,
I did see “Bought”. It was a powerful documentary.
DrB
I contacted my rep (by email). For what it’s worth, here’s what I typed, in case it saves any of you time in contacting your reps as well:
”
http://blog.drbrownstein.com/genocide-against-our-children-continues-media-says-nothing-cdc-lies-part-ii/
1) Is your office aware of this medical fraud?
2) Has your office done anything about it?
3) Does your office plan to do anything about it, or instead just let children continue to be harmed? Even if your office doesn’t have enough jurisdiction, it can put pressure on whoever does.
Thx,
Perry
“
It’s incredibly frustrating to see this not going anywhere. I feel the world has completely gone mad. There are so many of us who know this tragedy is unfolding and yet we are essentially powerless. I believe the implications of this scandal being so artfully covered up in plain sight is indicative of a system so thoroughly bought that it will be hard to crack. The comments of John C, a clearly intelligent and somewhat informed individual, shed light on how hit and miss vital health information still is. There is no doubt that anyone willing to spend a few hours reviewing the information with a non-biased viewpoint would absolutely not submit to vaccinations until the entire industry was overhauled! Alas, the media has so thoroughly brainwashed the public that even the begging for forgiveness by a lying high level CDC scientist is falling on deaf ears.
There is one problem, and that is that people are more afraid of the diseases that vaccines are given for. They fear these diseases will come back and kill thousands of people. I think people don’t want to believe that vaccines have anything to do with autism, auto-immune disorders, or any other chronic disease. After I told my son who is going to medical school (and has been brain washed) about the whistle blower, he told me that “just because one person says something, doesn’t mean that it is true”. I think it is hopeless. We live in a world that doesn’t care about finding truth. This is why the CDC and other government agencies can get away with what ever they want. Why can’t this man go to the media himself and let everyone know? Is it possible someone is trying to destroy evidence in the meantime?
Just stop taking the poison. That is the simplest solution for avoiding the damage these time bombs do. Its another option in the face of how slow the system works. And the Rx companies will get the message if fewer people take the vaccines. Their profits will suffer. Its already happening. That is all that vaccines are about, profit. Nothing to do with health. Its criminal what they are getting away with. Cold heartless lovers of money. I had only four or five vaccines when I was growing up and never took any flu shots in my 57 years. Interesting thing is I never get the flu, colds or sick from any illnesses. My mind is sharper that teens and young men half my age. Another very important thing to recognize is vaccines are bypassing normal immune system processing through the nose and mouth with what should be wild viruses. Intramuscular injection introduces a “factory farmed” virus on animal and fetus tissue. The body handlles the two methods differently and soon becomes accustomed to the lab bred virus via injection, but will the immune system be too crippled to respond when a wild virus comes along. Since when did the immune system need help handling viruses. God was not waiting for man to come along with something better than what He has created. A healthy immune system is programmed to handle anything thrown at it from the wild. No help needed. Healthy is the key. They continue to wreck children’s bodies with these toxic mixes and the amazing thing is that people continue to trust in these witch doctors. Extremely sad reality.
Dear A,
I have no further information. That statement says nothing. If they have evidence then they should present it.
DrB
Thank you for the information on the MMR Vaccine and all of the damaging things we are now subjecting our young children to. I looked at my vaccination records and I got 3 separate shots (1 measles, 1 mumps and 1 rubella) when I was 7 years old in 1981. I only had one type of shot (DPT) that I received when I was and infant and toddler. All other immunizations were when I was at least 7 or 8. It is amazing how many shots they want to give you infants and toddlers now. Do they ever stop to think that they may be weakening our children’s bodies and inviting other diseases? We are destroying their natural immune systems. I reached out to my congressman for answers. Big Pharma is destroying our health.
Dr. B.,
I wondered if you saw this editorial in today’s New York Times, Vaccine Phobia in California:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/21/opinion/vaccine-phobia-in-california.html
Apparently, the California legislature is ready to mandate vaccination of all children (eliminate parent’s right to object for “personal beliefs. The NYT calls this a “sensible bill.” Also, any commenters who question vaccine safety (known carcinogens, mercury, etc) are quickly shot down by “true believers in science” as having flawed viewpoints.
It is truly maddening!
