CDC Responds: Admits Omitting Vaccine Data Linking Vaccines to Higher Rates of Autism

UPDATE 8/26/2014: Celia Farber of Epoch Times is reporting that Dr. Thompson is seeking legal status as whistleblower.

UPDATE 8/25/2014: The CDC has responded to a parent’s request for answers on why black children were left out of the data that Brian Hooker re-analyzed with the excluded data. Here is the CDC’s response. It was signed by:

“CAPT Raymond A. Strikas, MD, MPH, FACP U.S. Public Health Service Education, Information, and Partnership Branch Immunization Services Division National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1600 Clifton Road, N.E., MS A-19 Atlanta, GA 30333 404 639 6465

“

Jon Rappoport is reporting that “over 200 mothers of autistic children are readying a class-action suit. They already have an attorney.”

Someone from Atlanta Georgia on CNN.com is reporting that Dr. Thompson responded to an email “showing support for his act of speaking out.” (The CNN report has now been removed. UPDATE 8/25 – CNN has put the report back up – but still as “not verified.”)

Don’t expect mainstream media to cover this until either the CDC comes out with a statement of their own, or Dr. Thompson releases a statement, or someone in Congress or working with Dr. Thompson (such as his attorney) makes a statement. We suspect this will happen soon.

The CDC whistleblower who came forward last week to admit that the CDC had covered up evidence that vaccines are linked to autism has been revealed as Dr. William Thompson. Dr. Thompson was a lead researcher and participant on several studies that were used by the CDC to supposedly prove that vaccines did not cause autism. Here are a few:

Dr. Thompson spoke with Dr. Brian Hooker by phone recently, revealing that data withheld from a study conducted on the MMR vaccine revealed that the rate of autism was higher among African American boys:

Dr. Hooker tried for over 10 years to obtain data from the CDC that was suspected of revealing the link between mercury in vaccines and autism. With the help of Congressman Bill Posey, he was able to obtain much of that data earlier this year, but apparently Dr. Thompson has revealed even more disturbing data concealed by the CDC.

Now that Dr. Thompson has come forward, many questions arise. Will other researchers who participated in this cover-up also come forward, such as Dr. DeStefano? What about directors at the CDC such as current Dr. Coleen Boyle who has testified under oath that no links between vaccines and autism existed? What about Julie Gerberding who was head of the CDC from 2002 to 2009 before she left to become president of Merck’s Vaccine division, a 5 billion dollar a year operation? How many lives have been ruined due to withholding and covering up this information?

While I do not know what the future holds for Dr. Thompson, or how the mainstream media will respond to this story, we will continue to cover this breaking news story.
