New documentary shines light onto CDC's cover-up of links between vaccines and autism

(NaturalNews) In 1971, the MMR vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella was licensed in the United States. Since then, it has been marketed in more than 60 countries around the world under various names such as M-M-R II, Priorix, Tresivac and Trimovax. As recommended by its developers, the first dose of the vaccine is administered to children around age one, while the second dose is administered between ages four and five.

Doubts about the MMR vaccine first became public in 1998, due to a paper published by the world-renowned gastrointestinal surgeon and researcher Andrew Wakefield. In his research, Dr. Wakefield observed that there is a link between the MMR vaccine and gastrointestinal conditions related to autism. He did not recommend that parents should reject the vaccine, but rather that a single vaccine rather than a combo should be implemented.

Now, a new documentary from critically acclaimed journalist Ben Swann exposes the CDC's dirty secrets for the whole world to see. Click here to watch the revealing video, "CDC, Vaccines & Autism."

Dr. William Thompson and the 2004 CDC study

In 2010, Dr. Wakefield's research was found "dishonest" by the UK's General Medical Council. His career was ruined and his name discredited, as the Council barred him and the co-author of the study from practicing medicine. Although he issued challenges to his accusers to debate him in the media, he was of course ignored. Until now.

On August 27, 2014, Dr. William Thompson, who was and remains a scientist at the CDC, hired a whistleblower attorney to make a major statement about the 2004 CDC study regarding vaccines and autism. As expected, the mainstream media paid little attention to the claim.

Nevertheless, after being secretly recorded by a Dr. Brian Hooker, Dr. Thompson declared that he regrets omitting "statistically significant information" in the 2004 article published by the journal Pediatrics. He continued by adding that this data suggested an "increased risk for autism" in African American males who received the vaccine before the age of three. As it was later discovered in the official documents that Dr. Thompson handed over to Congress, evidence about the link between the MMR vaccine and autism was not only omitted but also destroyed by the participating scientists.

When journalist Ben Swann finally managed to get a hold of these documents from congressman Bill Posey, he was joined by other journalists, doctors and CDC specialists in creating a comprehensive documentary on Dr. Thompson's claim, which you can watch here.

The CDC response and interpretation of the study

According to the official statement published by the CDC in response to Dr. Thompson's claims, the 2004 CDC study revealed that vaccination between 24 and 36 months of age was slightly more common among children with autism. This association was most relevant among children aged three to five. However, the authors of the report claimed it was not evidence of a link between the MMR vaccine and a higher risk of autism.

Instead, they assumed that the statistics reflected "immunization requirements for preschool special education program attendance in children with autism." In other words, the CDC claimed that an increased rate of autism among children who received the MMR vaccine before age three was not a case of vaccine injury. According to them, the statistics just appeared this way because children with autism were more likely to be vaccinated before entering a special education program.

Doubt persists among protesters in Atlanta

All of a sudden, it seems that the career of Dr. Andrew Wakefield was buried into the ground for no other reason than scientific curiosity and honesty, as new evidence suggests that he might have had serious reasons for concern regarding the MMR vaccine. Is the CDC, the media or the public going to apologize? No. On the contrary, more studies claiming the absolute safety of vaccines will flourish to cover up previous leaks.

On October 23, 2015, more than 100 protesters gathered in front of the CDC headquarters in Atlanta to demand answers about vaccines. But with all these controversies covered up by the CDC in the past, how much honesty can the people really expect?
