New Study Shows Vaccines Cause Brain Changes Found in Autism
By Dan Olmsted and Mark Blaxill
Abnormal brain growth and function are features of autism, an
increasingly common developmental disorder that now affects 1 in 60
boys in the US. Now researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and
Thoughtful House Center for Children in Austin, Texas, have found
remarkably similar brain changes to those seen in autism in infant
monkeys receiving the vaccine schedule used in the 1990’s that
contained the mercury-based preservative thimerosal.
The group’s findings were published yesterday in the journal Acta
Neurobiologiae Experimentalis. They used scanning techniques that
assessed both brain growth and brain function in the same animals over
time. The research team was able to see differences in the way the
brains of vaccinated and unvaccinated animals developed. Scans were
performed before and after the administration of primary MMR and DTaP/
Hib boosters that were given at the human equivalent of 12 months of
age.
Throughout the study period, vaccinated animals showed an increase in
total brain volume – a feature of the brain in many young children
with autism - when compared with unvaccinated animals. However, a
specific part of the brain associated with emotional responses that is
thought to be important in autism, the amygdala, did not show
abnormalities until after the 12-month vaccines had been given. In
addition, after the 12-month vaccines only, the functional brain scans
showed significant differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated
groups. These functional scans looked at the activity of receptors for
morphine-like compounds (opioids) that may play a role in the brain of
children affected by autism. Vaccine administration was associated
with an increase in opioid binding activity in the amygdala compared
with a decrease in the unvaccinated group.
The results indicate that multiple vaccine exposures during the
previous 3-4 months may have had a significant impact on brain growth
and development in ways that are consistent with the published data on
autism. For the amygdala, the novel findings of abnormal growth and
function appear to be a function of more recent vaccine exposures -
the 12-month primary MMR vaccine and the DTaP and Hib boosters.
In an accompanying editorial Dr. Kris Turlejski, the Editor-in-Chief,
described the findings as “alarming”, “support[ing] the possibility
that there is a link between early immunization and the etiology of
autism.”
In the same primate model, the research team has already identified
delayed acquisition of vital brainstem reflexes in infants exposed to
the thimerosal-containing hepatitis B vaccine on the first day of
life, compared with unvaccinated animals. A larger, second phase study
is currently underway to see if these findings can be replicated.
Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who is not a listed author but whose support in
the design of the study is acknowledged, said “I hope the model will
not only provide important insights into the origins of autism, but
also ways of safely testing possible new autism treatments and
vaccines.”

I agree with that 100%.....I don't even get the influenza vaccine
anymore.....They say it's for older people and people with weakened
immune systems.
Well if one has a weakened immune system how in the H are they going
to develop the antibodies to fight off the flew (misspelled) virus.
I usually got a lyme falre every time I got the shot... No more....
all these vaccines the government is now mandating even for babies!
sicko --ALL FOR THE BUCKS. They have no right to mandate a parent
to inject their child or baby with some of these new BS vaccines...
