SafeMinds demands long-overdue independent review of vaccine/autism
research for data manipulation and conflicts of interest. Vaccine
safety remains questionable.
ATLANTA, April 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Poul Thorsen, the
principal coordinator of multiple studies funded by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) used to deny a vaccine/autism
link was indicted on April 13th on 13 counts of fraud and 9 counts of
money-laundering. ***The charges relate to funding for work he
conducted for the CDC, which claimed to disprove associations between
the mercury-based vaccine preservative, thimerosal, and increased
rates of autism.***
SafeMinds first voiced concerns in 2003 regarding a series of
epidemiology studies out of Denmark and under the jurisdiction of
Thorsen that provided the basis for the Institute of Medicine's claim
that there was no association between thimerosal and autism. That
claim has been responsible for the continued unsafe use of mercury in
influenza vaccines in the United States and infant vaccines around the
world.
"The quality of this epidemiological research has always been
questionable," states Sallie Bernard, SafeMinds president. "Many
biological studies support a link between mercury and autism, but
these Danish studies have been used to suppress further research into
thimerosal. With clear evidence of Dr. Thorsen's lack of ethics, it
is imperative to reopen this investigation."
From August to October of 2003, three articles on the autism-mercury
controversy were published in close succession, all of which used data
from a Danish registry for psychiatric research to assess the
relationship between autism trends and the use of thimerosal.
SafeMinds accessed the registry at the time and reported that a large
percentage of diagnosed autism cases are lost from the Danish registry
each year and that most of those lost cases were older children.
***Since the studies were based on finding fewer older thimerosal-
exposed children than younger unexposed children, the validity of
their conclusion exonerating thimerosal in autism was questionable and
likely a result of missing records rather than true lower incidence
rates among the exposed group.***
***In addition, internal emails obtained via FOIA document discussion
between the Danish researchers and Thornsen which acknowledge that the
studies did not include the latest data from 2001 where the incidence
and prevalence of autism was declining which would be supportive of a
vaccine connection.***
***The emails also include requests from Thornsen to CDC asking that
the agency write letters to the journal Pediatrics encouraging them to
publish the research after it had been rejected by other journals.***
A top CDC official complied with the request sending a letter to the
editor of the journal supporting the publication of the study which
they called a "strong piece of evidence that thimerosal is not linked
to autism."
As fraud charges regarding Thorsen surface, and as we believe the
registry was unreliable, SafeMinds is calling for an independent
federal investigation of these studies for data manipulation and
scientific misconduct. Further background information on these
studies, the charges against Dr. Thorsen, and documents obtained
through the Freedom of Information Act that support SafeMinds'
concerns are available on our website, www.safeminds.org.

bunch of crooks tht take payoffs in more ways than one.....That Dr.
who I believe was from England who they took his license away for
