I can’t believe that I am still writing this, but the genocide of our children continues. This is the fourth blog post about the CDC whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson, who co-authored the adulterated 2004 study which claimed the MMR vaccine was not associated with autism. Dr. Thompson has admitted that the paper’s data was altered to hide a 240% increase in autism in African American children who were vaccinated before 36 months of age when they were 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 recently published in the Translational Neurodegeneration Journal. (2)
Of course, you can guess what happened next: The Translational Neurodegeneration Journal pulled the article. Now, when you search for it (http://www.translationalneurodegeneration.com/content/3/1/16/abstract) , you receive this statement: “This article has been removed from the public domain because of serious concerns about the validity of its conclusions. The journal and publisher believe that its continued availability may not be in the public interest. Definitive editorial action will be pending further investigation.”
May not be in the public interest? You gotta be kidding me!! No one has accused Dr. Hooker of falsifying data. Let’s get the facts straight as we presently know them: The CDC falsified the 2004 data. Was the 2004 fabricated article retracted? Nope. You can see it here: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/113/2/259.abstract.
WHERE IS THE MEDIA? WHERE IS THE CDC’s RESPONSE THESE ALLEGATIONS?
Dr. Thompson, one of the principal authors of the monumental 2004 CDC-sponsored research study about the MMR vaccine recently stated, “It’s the lowest point of my career that I went along with that (2004) paper. We did not report significant findings. I am completely ashamed of what I did. I have great shame now that I was complicit…I went along with this. I have great shame now, when I meet families with autism because I have been part of the problem. The higher-ups wanted to do certain things, and I went along with it.”
You can watch a video about this and hear the actual recording of Dr. Thompson here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhpckzxVEoc&index=10&list=UUfIZ2PofuUgEM79W3fOc6Mg
I just returned from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology annual conference in Austin, Tx. I lectured to the group about statin drugs and was privileged to hear Dr. Andrew Wakefield lecture after me. I was privileged to tell the audience how much I admired Dr. Wakefield. I told Dr. Wakefield that he is my hero and that his research will be vindicated when this story comes to light.
It is up to us to take action. Please forward this video and article to everyone you know. It may take a march in Washington by autistic children and their parents to push this story forward. It may take all of us to march in Washington to get Congress to act. We need to demand Congressional hearings where the authors of the discredited 2004 paper are ordered to testify under oath. It is time to call our Congressmen and women and demand action.
The time is here. There are no words to describe the tragedy that has happened to tens of thousands of our children and their families.
THE CDC MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR LYING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF CHILDHOOD VACCINATIONS.

75 studies that show no link between vaccines and autism: http://justthevax.blogspot.com/2014/03/75-studies-that-show-no-link-between.html
I checked the links and read the paper. Two issues: they analyses was carried out in spite of not getting enough cases of African-American subjects. That means the power suffers.
The other issue is that the study entirely funded by Focus Autism Inc. If one criticizes the vaccine industry for funding studies because of a profit motive, then the research entirely funded by an anti-vaccination group also is suspect.
There are no winners in this argument but the key is, and always has been, the microbiome. We haven’t taken care of it for 100 years and it’s costing us. More than anything other than the MTHFR polymorphism, is the reason we have the increase of some conditions and diseases. Vaccinations are not the cause.
Thank you for the insightful information Dr Brownstein. Good to see more solid evidence. I hope Dr Wakefield is formally vindicated soon.
C John, did you see the link for the original report by Laszlo? It says it all!
Also try this is google “rise in autism graph” and click on images. Which doctor did you say had only seen one case of autism among 5000? Did he retire 20 years ago? I know a few in my kids school not to mention in the extended family. No its not imaginary. I also heard a couple of years ago from the GAPS Dr who deals with autistic kids (Dr Natasha McBride) that the prevalence is more than 1:100 in the US and rising exponentially. Yes i think the word genocide is well chosen.
Now it may be true that the vaccine alone may not be the only cause of Autism, however as the original research cited says MMR increases the likelihood if not severity greatly.
For my girls I am happy to see them through rubella and mumps. I’ve had them and so have all my siblings, most of my friends and relatives, parents etc. No damage, no mental scars. Measles is potentially more serious but very rarely has a non immuno compromised child had any lasting issues. Modern medicine is there in those rare cases where it is necessary to step in. Also my girls may opt for rubella later on in life – if they have not caught it by then – to guard against fetal damage while pregnant. They will to look into themselves later. Not much more to worry about in the meantime.
However I am worried about the rise of other childhood illnesses such is cancer, diabetes, allergies, IBD etc. and oh yes autism! There is much more to worry about there.
So back to the oath “first do no harm”.
Chris and Bert Thanks for your comments. If you want to post what you think, just do it next time. You didn’t address any of the issues I talked about in my post. None of what either of you wrote relates to my post. I hereby declare you the kings of this blog post. Because in your world, when your mind is made up, the truth, or legitimate questions, just don’t matter.
Irrespective of autism, veterinarians know vaccines can be linked to sarcomas:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine-associated_sarcoma
Also, not specifically stating that vaccines induce autism in otherwise healthy children, but perhaps vaccines and other fever-inducing illnesses, further specifically when over-medicated to reduce fevers, may be a trigger for those kids already at risk. Includes fevers the pregnant mother may have herself, that she over-medicates. It’s tricky, you don’t want so high of a fever that you could lose the pregnancy, but medicating a 99 degree fever is generally a bad idea.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC194752/
Plus, a roundup of research on vitamin D deficiency & autism:
http://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ehs/news/2013/autism-and-vitamin-d
To me, it would make sense that black kids may be getting less time in the sun, (all kids are getting less time in the sun, more time looking at computers/TVs) and due to pigmentation need MORE sun to produce sufficient vitamin D. So they’re at risk for vitamin D deficiency, which can be a compounding risk factor. African Americans more at risk for D deficiency: http://jn.nutrition.org/content/136/4/1126.full
Prenatal vitamin D supplementation is crucial. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20592795 — especially those women who are pregnant in autumn, winter, and early spring.
Genetic factors exist, certainly. Non genetic ones, too: http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/news/20110711/birth-complications-linked-to-autism
Add up (either genetic or in-womb factors (low oxygen, etc)) plus (vitamin D deficiency) plus (vaccines and/or other early childhood fever inducing illness) and you may get triggers for autism. Not the only triggers, but certainly not a combination of factors that eliminates vaccines as a potential culprit.
Why can’t the vaccine-happy crowd consider that our current vaccine schedule is a)different and more aggressive than in the past and b) may have some impact on some kids, even if many kids are not in the same risk category?
Did anyone see the recent news coverage on FOX news regarding vaccines? It was vilifying parents for not vaccinating and delaying vaccinations. How can this be getting media coverage at the same time the CDC is busted for covering up data that shows a link to autism??? It amazes me how this coverup is not being reported in the news?
C John,
That’s right, words mean things. In this case, the word genocide, like so many other words in the English language as you are no doubt well aware, has multiple meanings. In this case, according to the definition Dr. Brownstein used, the word means “the systematic destruction of all or a significant part of a racial, ethnic, religious or national group” or “conspiracy to do so”, both by one of five means. Would it make you stop your attack if the definition had listed the means he was referring to first instead of second? It is obvious that Dr. Brownstein chose the word because it is the word that accurately described the situation to which he was referring.
Regarding your attack on Dr. Wakefield, Dr. Brownstein is right and he will be vindicated and his reputation restored. When my wife got pregnant I spent many hours studying up on him and his “trial” because I knew that we would get pressured to stick stuff into that baby. I also read, and am still reading, a bunch of stuff on the history on vaccines and medicine. Here’s a brief summary of what I’ve found:
1) Dr. Wakefield was a regular medical researcher, and he published a paper showing data indicating some kids who had had adverse reactions to the MMR vaccine also had abnormalities in their large intestines. The hospital he worked for took the unusual step of holding a news conference to announce the study, and someone asked him if he would recommend the MMR vaccine given that data. He replied that he would be cautious, and probably administer only one component at a time. At the time he had not questioned the orthodox opinion about vaccines and had in fact vaccinated his own children. The news conference had been a trap, and soon after the attacks on him began. Shortly after that the manufacturer discontinued the single component vaccines, leaving parents with the choice of zero or all three. In addition I discovered much documentation of collusion and unhealthy relationships between pharmacy bigwigs and top government officials, both in the UK and Canada.
Dr. Wakefield and two other researchers were then brought to an “alternative” court system where they were persecuted for three years. One reporter attended nearly every day of the trial and documented it thoroughly, and I read most of what he wrote. It was crystal clear that it was a witch hunt, and that none of these three fine researchers who had helped so many people deserved in any way the treatment meted out to them. This alternative court system in the UK reminded me of the alternative court system in Nazi Germany, called the peoples court. It was specially designed to persecute enemies of the state.
2) The cultural mythology that vaccines are responsible for humanities relief from the scourges of the past like smallpox, polio, whooping cough, measles, mumps, rubella, etc., is a lie. The data reveals that in every case the diseases had almost vanished from the populations before the vaccines were introduced. Meaning more than 90% vanished, and in most cases more than 98% or more than 99% vanished, prior to the introduction of vaccines. It turns out that improved nutrition and sanitation and living conditions were responsible for the improvements. See “Dissolving Illusions” by Dr. Suzanne Humphries.
3) For when you or your kid does get sick in spite of your highest quality sanitation and nutrition we have vitamin C, garlic, silver, Elderberry, etc. The list is long. See Curing the Incurable by cardiologist Dr. Thomas Levy. He shows the data showing that not only can vitamin C cure just about anything but that it is almost impossible to get a toxic dose. About half the book is reference, which I confess I have not followed up on in my copius free time. Also see, if you get a chance, one of the doctors whose results Dr. Levy cited in that book, Dr. Fred Klenner. Dr. Klenner followed through on some vitamin C research that had been done in the 1930s, and when he started his practice in the late 1940s he began experimenting with large doses of IV vitamin C. He found that he could cure just about anything with sufficient doses of vitamin C. He even intentionally exposed his own kids to measles and then cured them with vitamin C. He varied their dosages up and down and they got better then worse according to the dose. He described it as if he had the disease on a leash. He described once curing 61 out of 61 cases of polio during an epidemic, including one girl who was already paralyzed in her legs. She completely recovered uneventfully, in days.
C John
Do you think it’s a good idea to inject mercury, aluminum, aborted baby cells, msg, bovine ingredients, and all kinds of adjuvant crap into the purest blood on the planet?!?!?!? Really? There will be a special place in hell for the pharma companies. I went to the pharmacy sometime back because I broke my last glass thermometer and was told they didn’t make them anymore, I said oh because of the mercury? Pharmacist said yes, I said but it’s ok to put in vaccines, she stumbled and said uh…..yea….I grinned and walked away.
Don’t forget the most important point of the article – that the CDC hid data that went against their prejudices. Science my foot.
Is this not a case of hating vaccinations so trying to link it with autism is a tactic to scare off parents from vaccinations? No one else can find a link between vaccines and autism. On the other hand, there’s a strong correlation between the rise in organic food and autism. So why this not addressed? Do natural types automatically assume organic food is perfectly safe therefore it can cause harm?
Furthermore when was the magical period in history where people were perfectly healthy, well-spoken and very sociable? When did society supposedly take a turn for the worse with supposed increasingly sickly autistic children?
Dr. B – when you have to pull the second definition of a word, that means you chose the word for effect, not precision. Words mean things.
John – I haven’t impeded anything or anyone. This debate has been going on since the original Wakefield article. What has always been curious to me is that for all the millions of dollars the various autism societies have collected, they have yet to sponsor a single study on vaccinations and autism. Why do you think that is? One possibility is that in this media-driven age, you get more press critiquing others then actually doing something yourself. Autism Speaks collected over $61 million dollars in 2012. I searched the website for where they spend the money on programs. I find a website full of links everywhere. When they talk about research, they refer people to research studies much like the way cancer websites do.
One last thing: parents in some school districts value the autism diagnosis because there are special state funds that pay for individual attention. Remember – its autism spectral disorder and most cases are kids who can’t communicate effectively. Check the funding in your school district. You might come away surprised. Do some checking for yourself for a change on issues surrounding autism. I know parents with children who are severely autistic and their lives are changed forever. You cannot help but feel for them because this is for the rest of their lives. Their was no relationship with vaccinations. A pediatrician who has overseen over 5000 children from birth to teens has seen one diagnosed case of autism.
It leads one to think: who should you believe?
The CDC’s response is here: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/Concerns/Autism/cdc2004pediatrics.html
The bit about Georgia birth certificates is bs, as explained here: http://focusautisminc.org/
In addition to Jon Rappaport, Sharyl Attkisson is doing a fine job of covering this story here: http://sharylattkisson.com/reports/medical-vaccines
Supposedly Rep. William “Posey’s Congressional office is reviewing somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 documents, including research statistics, it obtained from Dr. William Thompson” (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/politics/political-pulse/os-us-rep-bill-posey-looking-at-immunizationautism-20140909-post.html), but I don’t see how anything will happen this Congress.
C. John,
The only people who belong in prison are the CDC authors who withheld valid information in a published medical journal article to support a conclusion that they knew was FALSE in order to further their vaccine agenda. Dr. Wakefield did not do anything worthy of hurting children, much less prison. Yet the false CDC report potentially led to thousands of children unnecessarily getting autism. At minimum the CDC should have included the data and investigated why the link was there. These CDC authors put their career interests over the children and the autistic children suffer today and will suffer for the rest of their life. Unlike what your accuse of Dr. Wakefield, CDC’s betrayal has ruined thousands of children’s lives.
I am not not ashamed of Dr. Wakefield or Dr. Brownstein, but I am ashamed of YOU because people like you are the biggest impediment in getting to the bottom of what is causing this autism epidemic. How many more children will have to suffer before people like you wake up? We don’t know what causes autism, but at minimum, the vaccine path needs to be investigated, where ever it leads.
Dr. Brownstein
Are you kidding us? Genocide is the deliberate murder of masses of people. You’re talking about a possibility, and a remote possibility, that MMR causes autism. That’s not genocide. Andrew Wakefield is your hero? Someone who fabricated data to get a paper published? A hero? He belongs in prison but we don’t do that in science. Vindicated? Not in this lifetime or the next or the next.
You seem like a good man and maybe an adequate physician. But your position on some of these issues is misguided at best and borderline criminal at worst. Maybe going back to coaching soccer is a good career move at this point. I’ve never been so disappointed in a holistic healthcare provider as I am you.
C John,
Here is the definition of genocide:
Genocide is the systematic destruction of all or a significant part of a racial, ethnic, religious or national group via the (a) Killing of members of the group; (b) Causing of serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberate inflicting on the group’s conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing of measures intended to prevent births within the group; or (e) Forcible transferring of children of the group to another group. Genocide entails also the Conspiracy to commit genocide.
Andrew Wakefield will be vindicated. His research pointed out problems with the MMR vaccine and the consequence of ignoring it has been disastrous to our children (and the fathers, mothers and grandparents of these children).
As for coaching soccer, I am a little rusty, but I could dust off the cleats if need be.

God bless You,
Laszlo
It’s unbelievable! I have to express my overwhelming gratitude for those who have spoken out and continue to speak out about the dangers of (many?) vaccines! Because of you all, my own children were spared risky exposure. I am so grateful to Dr Brownstein, Johanna Reilly ND LAc, and Dr Linkner for making sure we are and have been educated. Dr Linkner was our family doctor until we moved out of the Ann Arbor area. So very thankfully, he educated and warned our family about vaccines at the critical point in my children’s young lives. Armed with the knowledge, we were/are constantly singled out, questioned, and belittled for going against the “recommended vaccine schedules”. As someone who does not easily give-in in the face of adversity, it is/was exhausting and I repeatedly second guessed our decisions.
Because this is still getting no major media attention it is so very important that those of us with the information do everything we can to prevent others from these dangers. There are parents (and expectant parents) around us everyday who are about to have their child(ren) vaccinated or who are struggling with their decision not to. Please, please share this information with the them.
Thank you Dr. B, Rebecca and all!
Yes there are protocols available for recovering the “gut” from the aftermath of vaccinations and the like (which underscores the truth that health begins in the gut). There are also “ounces of prevention” that can avoid the tonnage of ordeals one needs to go through with the suggested (albeit excellent) recoveries.
This issue reveals at least a three-fold tragedy. Firstly the children manifesting autism (and the like). Then there is the tragedy of the medical doctors who no longer practice their Hippocratic oath to “do no harm” and ignore “food as medicine”. These two (of many) points from ancient wisdom are most certainly applicable in this instance. The third tragedy is the gap that parents have unknowingly fallen into under the “spell” of their doctors as well as the whole entire medical paradigm! Therefore this situation is not at all easily correctable (in case we are thinking of correcting “the system”).
Personally I do not have any hope for the system. One doctor expressing regret at “the lowest point of (his) career” is an anomaly and not at all representative of the medical system. Also, I am sorry to say Dr. B that I do not have hope for a “march in Washington to get Congress to act”. That’s another “terminally diseased” system that I do not waste my time or energy hoping will change. None of us can correct that system because it is not at all what people have believed it to be. I forget about Congress. Neither Congress nor the medical system will do for parents (and children) what is most essential and that is for every individual to fully inform them self. No one can do that for the individuals. However we can speak the truth about it!
I’m back to my first comment now (three blog posts earlier) and that is what do we want to do to further empower ourselves with the radical truth on this issue? One thought I mentioned was that a documentary could be made. Another thought is that there are hundreds of local chapters of the Weston A. Price Foundation across the U.S. of A and many of these have community outreach, community building activities and the like. For instance the San Diego chapter has a “Moms Group” under the leadership of board member Kim Schuette (Nutritionist and GAPS practitioner) with about 175 members! Find a chapter near you at westonaprice.org
I hope Terri Byrer (comment above) and all who are connected with a child who has been damaged by vaccines will go to Natasha Campbell McBride’s website and read about how she HEALS the guts of autistic children. Check out http://www.gapsdiet.com. Dr. McBride, whose son was diagnosed as autistic many years ago, was at that time a neurologist and neurosurgeon in England. Her son’s doctor told her there was no help for him and that he would only get worse
She went to the medical research literature and discovered answers to help her son heal. Since the studies she found were buried in scientific journals she wrote a book, The Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS), and has helped countless autistic children as well as those with ADD, ADHD, dyslexia and other problems to get well again, or at least to function much better. Her own son is an adult who shows no symptoms of autism.She found that the sooner her GAPS diet was implemented, the greater the healing potential.
Dr McBride now certifies GAPS Practitioners in this country. You can find them through her website, http://www.gapsdiet.com, or through the Nutritional Therapy Association in Olympia, WA.
Excellent coverage of this critical issue. I would like to encourage your readers to also view similar investigative reporting being done at Jon Rappaport’s site: http://www.nomorefakenews.com
I’ll do my part.
Even though I have a grandson who is on the Austism Spectrum, with the help of family, he is conquering Austism! I have not done as extensive research on this as my son and his wife, but I do know that because of Austism the internal mechanism that helps the rest of us be able to properly digest our food is missing in Austisic kids. My grandson can only have food without any yeast or artificial additives or colors. If he eats something, say from McDonalds, he is paying the price for days having diarrhea and stomach upset. His body was full of mercury, aluminum, lead and other toxic items which most of us never have to worry about. We need to be diligent about what we are putting into our bodies and especially our children, which means the vaccines and food sources and even the water we drink. Thank you for calling attention to this epidemic and some of the causes of it. We need your posts to bring awareness to the public!
Thank you Dr. Brownstein for spreading this information. Even if we do not personally have a child with autism, we who serve families with such children are saddened every time a parent brings in a child and says, “my child has not been the same since vaccination.” It is hard enough to raise a healthy child in a conscientious manner with the goal of that child growing up to be a healthy adult. To have society set up obstacles and not be responsible for them is heartless.
