Al Duncan pointed out the scary truth: We have the most vaccinated children on earth and some of the sickest.
Autism, learning problems, cancer, bowel disease, epilepsy, life-threatening allergies and asthma are at epidemic levels among our children.
The agency in charge of the vaccine program, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approves the vaccines and it also is in charge of vaccine safety.
It allows vaccine additives like mercury and aluminum, which have never been tested by the FDA for toxicity.
Hundreds of employees at the CDC have waivers because of direct financial ties to the drug industry.
The last head of the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding, a long time denier of any link between vaccines and autism, is now the head of the vaccine division at Merck.
The CDC has a dozen studies all showing no link between its vaccines and the epidemic increase in autism. Anyone looking at the studies will discover that each of them is tied to the vaccine makers.
The vaccine schedule has been tripled since 1983 without a single study on the cumulative effect of so many vaccines so soon on the health of a baby.
During this time, autism went from one in 10,000 children to 1-percent of children today.
Officials have refused to call for the one study that would settle the controversy. There has never been a study comparing the autism rates in children who have been fully vaccinated according to the childhood schedule with children who have never been vaccinated. One percent of U.S. children now have autism.
If 1-percent of never-vaccinated children are also autistic, it would be proof of no link.
No one would be able to deny it.
With thousands of parents now too scared to vaccinate their children, the study group is out there. We all need to be asking why no health authority wants to see such a study.
Parents need to educate themselves about the army of experts who challenge the safety claims of health officials.
