Now that the federal government's vaccine court has again denied claims that mercury in vaccines cause autism, frankly, we have to agree with them. Because mercury poisoning and autism produce identical symptoms, we parents of autistic children in America have been barking up the wrong tree. Mercury in vaccines causes mercury poisoning which causes brain damage which can look like autism.
The strategy of government officials to dismiss the claims of so many neurologically injured children based largely on their classification as autistic has turned out to be a brilliant defense strategy. They've used this highly controversial debate of what causes autism as a subterfuge that's allowed them to continually win these cases and deny severely vaccine injured children the compensation to which they and their families who care for them are entitled.
It's ludicrous for anyone to believe that a government-run court deciding claims against a government-run program, would ever find fault and liability against themselves. This is especially so now that the autism epidemic has hit an all-time high with 1 in 100 children being affected. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is tantamount to putting mice in charge of overseeing the cheese.
This government court bases it decisions on government-funded studies, not on peer-reviewed data published by truly independent researchers free of conflicts of interest. The government has spent a lot of money discrediting such scientists, yet now their own studies that mercury doesn't cause harm in vaccines are under fire as a principal government-paid researcher is himself suspected of fraud.
"Having a Health & Human Services sponsored court find no link will in no way convince parents that mercury-laced vaccines did not cause the medical diagnosis of mercury toxicity in their autistic children," says Angela Medlin, Co-Founder of Moms Against Mercury.
"They don't put lead in vaccines, so why mercury? It's more toxic and scientifically proven to cause brain damage. Do they really think these case denials are going to make us stop demanding the truth and the need for safer vaccines?" asks Karey Williams, of Moms Against Mercury.
We simply need to stop debating the root cause of autism and acknowledge the actual problem—the one that the government wishes would just go away—and that is the clear evidence of neurological damage caused by vaccines.
