The
number of children and young people who have developed autism has soared
since the introduction of the MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) vaccine, a
survey has shown.
The figures from Britain and the US have exposed a massive increase in
autism since 1988 - the year the MMR vaccine was introduced. Other
scientific research reveals that the measles virus is found in 24 out of
25 children who developed autism after a healthy infancy. Many children
only became autistic after they were given the vaccine as teenagers.
In Yorkshire, England, the number of autistic children has increased 22
times since the vaccine was introduced. In Surrey, one in 69
three-year-olds are developing autism when it should be one in several
thousands. And in the Shetland Isles and the Western Isles of Scotland
there are no children with autism born before 1988.
The picture is the same in the United States. In New Jersey, the cases of
autism have increased by 876 PER CENT in the last eight years; in
California by 275% from 1993-1998; and by 109% in Pennsylvania from
1993-1997.
In Japan, the MMR vaccine has been banned and some UK doctors are refusing
to give it, saying that it is safer for the child to have the disease than
it is to risk the vaccine.
But what does the "caring" Labour Government of Tony Blair do?
They refuse to even accept there could be a link and so they will pay no
compensation for autism caused by vaccine because they deny the two could
be connected. Even children brain damaged by vaccine in others ways can
only get a maximum of 40 thousand pounds - and then only if the parents
prove that their child was 80-per-cent brain damaged by the vaccine.
A study into the vaccine-autism connection is being carried out at the
Royal Free Hospital in London and the Coombe Women's Hospital in Dublin,
where the director of pathology, John O'Leary, said that there had to be a
full investigation and more urgent research."
