In the 1980’s, the autism rate in the United States was 1 in 10,000.
In 2016, the CDC reports the autism rate as either 1 in 45 or 1 in 68.
At 1 in 45, that’s a 22,222%* increase over the past 30 years. At 1 in 68, it’s a 14,705%* increase over 30 years.
At rate of 1 in 45, in the United States alone, a new child is diagnosed with Autism every 5.5 minutes*. At 1 in 68, a new child is diagnosed every 7.5 minutes*.
The next President needs to be the first President to take action designed to slow and then stop the autism epidemic and the extraordinary rise in early childhood chronic illnesses. Cleaning house at the CDC is the place to start.

Dear Presidential Candidates re: the Autism Epidemic and CDC corruption
According to the CDC, 1 in 7 American children in 2016 has a mental, behavioral or developmental disorder. Is early childhood development being affected by the large increase in the vaccination schedule over the past 30 years?
The article states "parents were asked if they had ever been told by a doctor or healthcare provider that their child had
1. attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
2. depression,
3. anxiety problems,
4. behavioral problems such as oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder,
5. Tourette syndrome,
6. autism spectrum disorder,
7. learning disability
8. intellectual disability,
9. developmental delay, or
10. speech or other language problems."
Today’s vaccine schedule does not resemble the vaccine schedule any of the Presidential candidates received themselves.
The Vaccine Schedule has exploded over the past 30 years
In a statement released by his attorneys, CDC Whistleblower WILLIAM W. THOMPSON, Ph.D., said regarding the 2004 research paper he co-authored which examined the possibility of a relationship between vaccination and autism:
"... I will do everything I can to assist any unbiased and objective scientists inside or outside the CDC to analyze data collected by the CDC or other public organizations for the purpose of understanding whether vaccines are associated with an increased risk of autism. There are still more questions than answers, and I appreciate that so many families are looking for answers from the scientific community...."
We should all be concerned that Dr. Thompson, a co-author of vaccine safety studies, admits "THERE ARE STILL MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS" ... "FOR THE PURPOSE OF UNDERSTANDING WHETHER VACCINES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASED RISK OF AUTISM",
The potential connection between autism and vaccination is NOT settled science. Don’t believe anyone who claims otherwise. Educate yourself. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying or misinformed.

The potential connection between autism and vaccination is NOT settled science
From Vaccine Whistleblower: Exposing Autism Research Fraud at the CDC:
“Dr. Thompson’s revelations about dishonest vaccine safety research are critically important to policymakers, pediatricians and parents.
Tens of thousands of parents have reported that their children regressed into autism after adverse vaccine reactions. Parents are forced to rely on the honesty of the CDC about vaccine safety when deciding how to vaccinate their children. Pediatricians are forced to rely on the honesty of the CDC about vaccine safety in deciding how to treat their patients. Policymakers are forced to rely on the honesty of the CDC about vaccine safety when deciding whether to mandate vaccines.
Based on the words of Dr. William Thompson, the CDC has misled everyone involved in administering and receiving vaccinations.”

CDC Misled About Vaccine Safety
The CDC, media, and vaccine manufacturers are good at working together to scare policymakers, doctors and parents. Consider that 7 months before the over hyped Disneyland measles scare, Dr. Thompson told Dr. Hooker that the CDC and the media “loves” to “hype” measles outbreaks in order to “scare” the public. Dr. Thompson essentially predicted the hysteria surrounding the measles cases in early 2015 in California at Disneyland.
CDC and their media partners love to hype outbreaks
The mainstream media is complicit in attempting to silence anyone who raises questions about vaccine safety. When vaccines are discussed in the media, too often the stories are one-sided. Media tells the public that vaccines are safe and effective. Why?
From Vaccine Whistleblower:
“In a May 2015 interview with former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. described a meeting with a senior television executive where the extraordinary influence of the pharmaceutical industry was highlighted:
“I ate breakfast last week with the president of a network news division and he told me that during non-election years, 70% of the advertising revenues for his news division come from pharmaceutical ads. And if you go on TV any night and watch the network news, you’ll see they become just a vehicle for selling pharmaceuticals. He also told me that he would fire a host who brought onto his station a guest who lost him a pharmaceutical account.”
Censorship of vaccine safety issues apparently was sanctioned by the Obama Administration when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius stated the White House’s policy in March 2010 in an interview with Reader’s Digest while discussing the H1N1 flu vaccine.
“There are groups out there that insist that vaccines are responsible for a variety of problems despite all scientific evidence to the contrary. We have reached out to media outlets to try to get them to not give the views of these people equal weight in their reporting to what science has shown and continues to show about the safety of vaccines.””
The next President must rescind this media censorship request from the Obama Administration. The US government has closely tied itself to industry and to upholding and expanding the vaccine schedule. This is a problematic alliance.
2016 Candidates - Rescind Obama censorship policy
Over the past 30 years (1986-2016), the White House has failed the American people regarding vaccine safety and caring for those injured by vaccines. Under each of the last 5 Presidents, leadership and the opportunity to make a positive difference on these issues has been missed.
Ronald Reagan (1986-89): President Reagan signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act which gave vaccine manufacturers full liability protection. This protection from financial liability gave manufacturers incentive to develop new vaccines and laid the groundwork for the large increase in the number of vaccines recommended in the US. HepB and HiB vaccines were licensed. When President Reagan left office, the autism rate was 1 in 10,000.
George HW Bush (1989-1993): During President Bush’s tenure, the vaccine schedule grew rapidly. The HepB vaccine was recommended by ACIP for all kids, a 2nd dose of MMR was recommended, 4th and 5th doses of DTaP were added to the schedule. The autism rate was 1 in 10,000 when President Bush left office. Most of the children vaccinated under the growing schedule were too young to have an autism diagnosis by 1993.
Bill Clinton (1993-2001): During President Clinton’s terms, the Vaccines for Children Act (1993) helped increase vaccination rates. Toward the end of Clinton’s second term, two seminal moments in the autism/vaccination CDC cover up occurred: the Simpsonwood meeting (June 7, 2000) and the Institute of Medicine meeting (January 12, 2001). The autism rate increased by 4000% during the Clinton Presidency, going from 1 in 10,000 when he entered office to 1 in 250 when he left.
George W. Bush (2001-2009): During President Bush’s tenure, the CDC cover up was in full bloom. The plan developed at the 2001 IOM meeting - where leaders described how they would exonerate the vaccine schedule – was executed, culminating in the 2004 IOM report which claimed that autism and vaccines are not related. The MMR paper that Dr. Thompson co-authored, the results of which were based on fraudulent data manipulation as Dr. Thompson described, was published in February 2004. The Autism rate increased 227% during the Bush Presidency, going from 1 in 250 when he entered office to 1 in 110 when he left.
Barack Obama (2009-present): The CDC cover up still is in full bloom during President Obama’s White House years. When Obama entered office, the Autism rate already had increased 9000% in the 16 years of the two prior administrations (from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 110), but no changes were made at the CDC. Rather than confront the problems at the CDC, the Secretary of Health and Human under President Obama instead requested that the media censor any dissent on vaccine safety.
With President Obama about to leave office, the Autism rate is either 1 in 45 (CDC survey 2015 ) or 1 in 68 (official rate 2016). The autism rate has increased between 162% (1 in 68) to 244% (1 in 45) during his term.
From the Reagan White House to the Obama White House, the autism rate has climbed an astounding 22,222% (1 in 10,000 to 1 in 45).
Dr. William Thompson’s co-authors on the 2004 MMR paper Colleen Boyle, Frank Destefano and Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsopp have all been continuously at the CDC since the Reagan administration i the 1980's, as if vaccine safety status quo is acceptable. The autism rate has climbed 22,000% on their watch, and somehow they still have jobs.
For the next President, status quo at the CDC is not acceptable.

CDC is "paralyzed", refuses to study vaccination data on 1200 kids
Dr. Thompson says the CDC is currently sitting on a treasure trove of data from the SEED (Study to Explore Early Development) study pertaining to 1,200 children with autism—data including the vaccine records of children and their mothers (Rhogam, flu shots) - but the CDC is not studying the vaccination records.
The next President should support the release of the SEED study data to an international independent body, such as the Cochrane Collaboration, to examine these vaccination records. The CDC (and their partner organizations like Autism Speaks) cannot be trusted to research this data honestly.

Mercury is a Neurotoxin
According to the World Health Organization:
Mercury should not be in vaccines anywhere in the world. The next President should issue an Executive Order banning the use of Thimerosal in vaccines in the United States and work with the United Nations to remove the Thimerosal exclusion from the Minamata Treaty to ban Thimerosal worldwide.
- “Exposure to mercury – even small amounts – may cause serious health problems, and is a threat to the development of the child in utero and early in life.
- Mercury may have toxic effects on the nervous, digestive and immune systems, and on lungs, kidneys, skin and eyes.
- Mercury is considered by WHO as one of the top ten chemicals or groups of chemicals of major public health concern.”

"The CDC put the (autism/vaccine) research 10 years behind"
In May 2014, Dr. Thompson told Dr. Hooker that CDC had put autism/vaccine research 10 years behind. Two years have passed since this was made public and nothing has changed. CDC has now put the research 12 years behind. During that time, autism prevalence has skyrocketed. Autism prevalence is up more that 22,000% over the 30-year period from 1986 to 2016.
From Vaccine Whistleblower:
“This increase eviscerates the theory that genes cause autism. There is no such thing as a genetic epidemic. The great autism gene hunt has been a failure. The dramatic increase of autism over the past thirty years must be attributable to something in the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to look for causative or contributing environmental factors. Based on tens of thousands of parental reports of children regressing into an autism diagnosis after vaccination, vaccines are still a prime suspect.
The CDC and the Institute of Medicine went through a charade of investigating the vaccine schedule to see if vaccination had anything to do with the increase in autism. Rather than looking at all vaccines and the schedule as a whole, they purported to investigate ONE vaccine (MMR) and ONE vaccine component (thimerosal). Based on this superficial review, the IOM declared in 2004 that the entire vaccine schedule was safe, and then thwarted additional research into vaccine safety going forward, as stated in the 2004 IOM Vaccine Safety Review.
Dr. William Thompson, a co-author on both MMR and thimerosal studies, now says the CDC has wasted 10 years by failing to do credible research, even with respect to MMR and thimerosal—the only two aspects of the vaccine schedule that were looked at in the IOM’s superficial review!
Parents, pediatricians and policymakers have all been misled by the CDC and IOM. As Dr. Thompson says, “There are more questions than answers” regarding the effect of the vaccine schedule on autism.”
The next President needs instruct the next Attorney General to open a investigation into the culture of corruption inside the CDC regarding vaccine safety research. The next President needs to be the first President to hold the CDC accountable for its role in the Autism Epidemic.
--------------------------
* Approximately 12000 kids are born per day x 365 days is 4,380,000 kids/year in the United States.
Divided by an autism rate of 1:45 = 97,333 ASD diagnoses/year divided by 365 days = 266 per day divided by 24 hours = 11 children per hour, or one child every 5.5 minutes.
Or, if divided by 1:68 = 64,411 ASD diagnoses/year divided by 365 days = 176 per day divided by 24 hours, is 8 children per hour, or one child every 7.5 minutes.
