After a decade of denying any possible association between vaccines and autism, the government quietly settled a vaccine-autism case last fall. When news of the case leaked out to the public months later, government officials labelled the case of Hannah Poling an "anomoly." The truth is, nobody is in a position to know whether Hannah's case is an exception. Government officials have told CBS News that they have not tracked vaccine-autism claims to see how many of them might involve children with the same undetected mitochondrial disorder Hannah had... one that may have made her susceptible to side effects from vaccines, triggering her autism. Government officials have also acknowledged to CBS News that they haven't looked for common denominators in other autism-related cases which have been compensated in federal vaccine court. Yes, there are other cases that have been paid. As CBS News has reported, the government has been settling vaccine injuries that resulted in autism and/or autistic symptoms since at least the early 1990's, while at the same time telling the public there is no cause for concern. Not all of the cases are published, but some of them are and can be found by searching legal case databases. That... with the help of some well-placed sources... is how CBS News turned up at least nine more cases... and counting. Considering that only a tiny fraction of vaccine-autism claims find their way to the little-known vaccine court, these cases are just a sampling of the total that may actually exist in the population. Further, according to knowledgeable sources, vaccine injuries compensated in the past due to encephalopathy (or brain damage) "often" resulted in autism, but the autism label was not used. Again, the government does not track how many of the encephalopathy cases involved children who got autism or ADD after their vaccinations.
One important factor is often lost in the discussion of a handful of cases: the fact that the debate has shifted from whether vaccines have any relationship to some cases of autism... to what is the role of vaccines in some cases of autism. And how big is the pool of cases. If vaccines can trigger autism in any way, directly or indirectly, that contradicts all the rhetoric and dogma heard from many public and government health officials for the past decade. And it supports what many other researchers have been saying for a decade, often to deaf ears, even after they published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Which is probably why Hannah's case is resonating under the radar in the medical community. A government conference has now been scheduled for later this month to examine mitochondrial disorders like hers and autism or neurological "triggers" (i.e. vaccines). See below.
WorkshopMitochondrial Disorders of Childhood: Testing, Potential Relationships to Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Triggers for Neurological Deterioration June 29, 2008
Workshop Goals and Objectives
"Mitochondrial Disorders of Childhood: Testing, Potential Relationships to Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Triggers for Neurological Deterioration" is a workshop to be held on Sunday June 29th after the close of the United Mitochondrial Disease Meeting in Indianapolis at the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis. The workshop will convene 11 experts in mitochondrial disorders or autism to discuss how the neurology of mitochondrial disorders might inform autism research.
The conference is sponsored by a number of Federal agencies including DHHS, CDC, FDA, NINDS and NIMH. Observers are welcome as seating allows.
Location
Hyatt Regency Indianapolis
The CDC, FDA and Congress will go down in history for allowing the
poisoning of a generation of America''s children.
Congress has abdicated its oversight responsibility and shares the blame for the suffering of so many.
Please keep investigating this scandal.
Parents of vaccine-injured children struggle through each and every day and pray they will succeed in enabling their child(ren) to overcome the hurdles placed directly in thir path by Pharma and our very own Government.
Our pediatricians'' outright denial of the harm done at the tip of their syringes is a slap in our faces, furthered (often) by their immediate expulsion of families like ours, where we refuse to continute injecting our babies with known neurotoxic and carcinogenic substances.
Mothers, like me, all across the nation cry themsleves to sleep and wake with heavy hearts knowing that each and every day, more children are yanked from their lives of normalcy into the greedy clutches of Autism.
It is way past time to end the madness. Historical data indicates the diseases we vaccinate against are not nearly as devastating as the damage done to 1 in 6 children developmentally disabled by vaccines. And for the record, 1 in 150 had Autism in 2002, this rate grown at a steady 17% annually, the 2008 rate of Autism now affects more then 1 in 90 children under 15.
I find it interesting that we always hear about what "officials" are saying in stories like this and of course we mean the people at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I never hear it mentioned that these officials have everything at stake in denying any serious side effects from THEIR VACCINE PROGRAM. Is it any wonder that after countless studies, they can''t find any harm resulting from vaccines, no matter what toxins or untested preservative we''re talking about.
What other agency or department gets oversight over itself? Why are so many so willing to accept the CDC studies that show no link between vaccines and autism done with the same type of research that supposedly proved smoking didn''t cause lung cancer back in the 1940s and 50s?
Sharyl Attkisson is the exceptional champion for our children in the mainstream media and she shows no signs of stopping. When the undeniable truth is finally made clear to everyone, she''ll be recognized for the outstanding journalist that she is.

The Polings formally petitioned to have the records released and waived all confidentiality rights yet, though they have no legal reason to withhold them from the public, the "vaccine court" has so far refused to publish these records and reports.
Is there anything that CBS can do to help get these documents published?
If so, in the interest of the public''s right to know, CBS sghould do all that it can to get these documents made public.
What else are they being inoculated against? Food products: Yeast, Dextrose, Soy Peptone, Soy Protein, Sucrose, Lactose, Polysorbate 80, Latex, MSG, Glutamate, Gelatine, Bovine serum (cow blood), Egg, Chicken cells, Lecithin, Casamino acids (casein), Sorbitol, Mannito, Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda), Xanthan gum
These are the most prevalent allergies to foods in the autism spectrum population, but the most prevalent allergens in the general population as well. In other words, we are vaccinating or children against food.
Antibiotics: Gentamicin, Streptomycin, Neomycin, Cephalin, Kanamycin Are allergic reactions to these are a surprise? Some vaccines contain human blood cells, any wonder some children develop autoimmune disorders called thrombocytopenia where their immune system attacks their own blood platelets? As if that isn%u2019t enough, some contain amino acids as well. Children on the autism spectrum have abnormally low levels of some amino acids. An immune reaction to their own amino acids, causing their own body to suppress production?
How are children supposed to have proper mitochondrial function and DNA replication when their entire existence has been compromised by vaccine ingredients?
0.5 parts per billion (ppb) mercury has been shown to kill human neuroblastoma cells (Parran et al., Toxicol Sci 2005; 86:132%u201340).
2 ppb mercury is the U.S. EPA limit for drinking water (http://www.epa.gov/safewater/contaminants/index.html#mcls).
20 ppb mercury destroys neurite membrane structures (Leong et al., Neuroreport 2001:12733%u20137).
200 ppb mercury is the level in liquid that the EPA classifies as hazardous waste (http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste /mercury/regs.htm#hazwaste).
25,000 ppb mercury is the concentration of mercury in multi-dose, Hepatitis B vaccine vials, administered at birth from 1991-2001 in the U.S.
50,000 ppb mercury is the concentration of mercury in multi-dose DTP and Haemophilus B vaccine vials, administered 8 times in the 1990%u2019s to children at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 18 months of age and currently %u201Cpreservative%u201D level mercury in multi-dose flu, meningococcal and tetanus (7 and older) vaccines.

we are now confronting. Ms. Attkisson, you are a star reporter in our autism community.
After 18 months we noticed he was drfting away.
Christian was given 4 vaccinations two different times at his Doctor''s Office Visit.
After the 2nd round he simply dissapeared.
PLEASE PLEASE get this story out ! MIllions of children worldwide are being damaged.
We must act now.
Can the USA step up to the plate for the children in America like we did in West Germany after WWII and will admit to this crime on humanity and help our children to have a life. Even more important to make sure that we have babies in the futuere who will have a chance for a normal life.
Children can get harmed from their vaccines. If your family did not experience this - that does not mean other families did not. And if you have healthy children - you are blessed. Thank your lucky stars because you dodged a heart breaking bullet.
To CBS and Sharyl Attkisson: Keep up the excellent work!

"Growing up is often a painful experience in which blind faith must be discarded, and in which
we seek the truth for ourselves. The truth, for me, is the people who see me and relate their all too
similar stories day after day. It is not theory, experts, authorities of newspaper stories. I urge and invite you all to lose your faith, and grow your own knowledge and understanding. Believe nothing I or others say without testing it against your experience. Then, do not doubt the truth you find, no matter what the %u201Cexperts%u201D say".

See all 24 CommentsWe, as a country, can no longer trust the medical "care" we receive, the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe, the words we hear, the diagnosises we get and the governement who has brought us to where we are today.
Mother nature gave YOU an instinctive gut for a reason. Trust your gut instinct as it will always tell you the truth and lead to to what is right no matter what anyone else "expert" or not says or tells you to do.
