A new Cambridge University study’s figures show 1 in 38 British boys has an autistic condition. Autistic spectrum conditions are already costing the UK £28 billion per annum: “One child in 60 ‘suffers from a form of autism” By , Daily Mail, UK 20th March 2009. The new study authors advise Government services planners to revise calculations of child service provision on a rate of 1 in 60 British boys and girls, but 4 in 5 cases affect boys.
1 in 38 boys affected
ie. 4 boys in every 150 boys
Despite this health authorities worldwide refuse to carry out large-scale studies comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated children. Such studies would determine finally the issue of the extent to which vaccination is implicated in causing the condition.
This demonstrates the pharmaceutical industry’s success expanding profits into vaccination over the past 20 years by encouraging a quasi religious belief that vaccines are vitally important.
But firstly, do vaccines cause autistic conditions? If you read nothing else we strongly recommend you read this: PDF Download – Text of May 5th 2008 email from US HRSA to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News]. In it the US Health Resources Services Administration [HRSA] state to CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkission
We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.”
Despite all the lies and deceit by health official worldwide, the question “do vaccines cause autism” was answered after the Hannah Poling story broke in the USA in February 2008 [see CHS article here]. Hannah developed an autistic condition after 9 vaccines administered the same day. Under the media spotlight numerous US health officials and agencies conceded on broadcast US nationwide TV news from CBS and CNN. Full details with links to the original sources can be found in this CHS article: Vaccination Causes Autism – Say US Government & Merck’s Director of Vaccines. [Blue Text added 10 April 2011]
A study of vaccinated and unvaccinated children by charity Generation Rescue reveals rates of autism in unvaccinated children are lower: Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated. Dr Mayor Eisenstein of a Chicago USA family medical practice claims his practice has seen few or no autism cases amongst 35,000 unvaccinated child patients. Autism amongst Amish families in the USA are reported to be very low, as are vaccination rates: Autism In Amish Children – 1 in 10,000.
If you are concerned, you must write to your political representative and keep writing to demand the proper studies are carried out [See end for how to email].
It is important studies of vaccinated against unvaccinated children are carried out by truly independent unbiased objective researchers. Too many currently involved are tainted by drug and health officials’ influence. Clinical studies are needed. Studies currently relied on are epidemiological [statistical] studies which are easily manipulated [as used by the tobacco industry in 40’s and 50’s to prove smoking does not cause cancer].
The new figures also take no account of other neurological disorders like speech impediments, ADHD and tics, which have been associated in a study by the US Centers for Disease Control: CDC & Vaccine Caused Neurological Disorders.
Many individually brought cases of vaccine causesd autism have been successful in the US Courts: AUTISM – US Court Decisions and Other Recent Developments – It’s Not Just MMR
The study reveals that for every 3 known cases, there are a further two cases yet to be diagnosed:
The average age of diagnosis for childhood autism is around 3 to 4 years and for Aspergers’ Syndrome it is around 8 years, meaning half of all children affected under these ages are yet to be diagnosed.
The results were published at the International Meeting for Autism Research May 2008 and the IMFAR study has already been cited in 5 formal journal papers and an autism textbook:
ESTIMATING AUTISM SPECTRUM PREVALENCE IN THE POPULATION: A SCHOOL BASED STUDY FROM THE UK
Conclusions: The prevalence estimate of known cases of ASC, using different methods of ascertainment converges around 1%. The ratio of known to unknown cases means that for every three known cases there are another two unknown cases. This has implications for planning diagnostic, social and health services.”

The vaccinated versus non-vaccinated children study has already been done.
http://www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/Vaccines/MMRDen.html
“Clinical bottom line
A large survey of all children born in Denmark between January 1991 to December 1998 shows no difference in the incidence of autism between vaccinated and unvaccinated children.”
The raw data’s available at that link.
As this study shows catagorically that your theory is nonsense, I was hardly expecting you to say “oops – yes. You’re right”. So, as expected, you put out your own pat response which consists primarily of ad hom attacks and a quote supposedly given to that well known anti-MMR Dr, Halvorsen – who makes his living from doling out single jabs.
Frankly Mr Stone, yes. I’ll take the figures from this study over any of your spin on it. It pretty well destroys your theory, and you can’t spin it any other way. Your supposed “reanalysis” of the data – is it published anywhere other than that journal of quackery, the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons? The rebuttal seems to have been made by other famed anti-vaccination activists, Yazbak and Carol Stott. As you say – hardly impartial.
I don’t expect you to publish this comment, obviously – I expect you to bin it, and then accuse me of “running away” from your powers of argument.
As you are so keen on the accuracy of the Cochrane Collaberation’s MMR Safetyu Review, perhaps you should mention that the review found:
“No credible evidence of an involvement of MMR with either autism or Crohn’s disease was found. ”
You can’t have it both ways.
And either Scopie or Lockwood – I’m not worried. Whichever you feel more comfortable with.
Is it 1 in 38 or 1 in 48? You mention both above.
Mr Stone,
The phrase “No credible evidence of an involvement of MMR with either autism or Crohn’s disease was found. ” is found in the plain language summary; http://www.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab004407.html
The abstract reads: “Exposure to MMR was unlikely to be associated with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, autism or aseptic meningitis ”
You claim bias – but what you actually mean is that the final findings of the Cochrane Collaboration’s Review doesn’t support your position, and so you’re not prepared to accept that. You are, however, prepared to accept individual lines which appear to cast any doubt at all on that final finding. That’s not bias on the part of Chchrane – that’s cherry picking on your part.
When it comes down to it, the study has been done, and has found no evidence of a link.
In that case, surely they should have included the phrases: “We have also found no credible evidence exposure to MMR does not cause global warming”, “We have also found no credible evidence exposure to MMR does not cause syphilis” and “We have also found no credible evidence exposure to MMR does not cause recipients to vote Lib Dem.”
They found no evidence to suggest that it does cause autism. End of. That, Mr Stone, is the science, Cochrane have not hung themselves – except in your eyes, by not coming to the conclusion you would like. That, I’m afraid is what’s tough. You need to find the evidence that MMR causes autism – you haven’t found it, it isn’t there. Move on.
Thank you for all you do. The evidence is overwhelming on the vaccine question. They do far more harm than good. Even Luis Pasteur agreed… This is solely an issue of Big Pharma gone bad, money over all. Keep up the good work. I appreciate your efforts and post your news on facebook and digg.

I concur with CHS’s calculation, 1 in 38.
In further reply to Richard Lockwood, [March 21st, 2009 @ 6:34 pm, 8:10pm, 08.58pm, 22 Mar @ 09.34am, 10:34am] who said “The vaccinated versus non-vaccinated children study has already been done.”
In addition to all else, a study of MMR vaccinated against non-MMR vaccinated is hopeless if children in the supposedly non-vaccinated group have had other vaccines.
We do not know how many vaccines cause autism. In the successful US Court case of Hannah Poling, Hannah received nine vaccines in one day, including but not limited to MMR..

Thank you for keeping this information available and for the world to be a safer place to have our children. Kim
Recollecting how this story was originally sunk by Simon Baron-Cohen and Ben Goldacre when it first appeared in the Observer I posted in British Medical Journal on Monday (two days ago) under Goldacre’s article, asking them to explain it. We still await a response.
http://www.bmj.com/cgi/eletters/335/7611/126
It will be recalled that the story – which now turns out to be true – was removed from the web, and was said to be in part instrumental in Observer editor, Roger Alton, losing his job. So, what do Baron-Cohen and Goldacre now have to say?
It looks like nothing.
Goldacre has never answered criticism about his use of statistics in denying any connection between MMR and autism.

While banning me from commenting on this story, you’re quite happy to come back several days later, with a spurious point that you’ve just thought of.
While any study which includes other vaccinations is of course not enough to disprove the whole “vaccines causes autism”, this study was specifically comparing MMR and non-MMR vaccinated children, and clearly demonstrates that MMR doesn’t cause autism.
Stating that it doesn’t prove this or that is disingenuous – you’re implying that the study claims something it doesn’t, and then that you’re showing that it doesn’t prove any such thing. Hardly surprising really.
The comments by Richard [Rich Scopie] Lockwood on this blog demonstrate just how zealotic these autism denialist campaigners are, supporting the commercial interest of the drug industry by denying the autism pandemic and the desperate damage done to helpless children by vaccines and at a time when the risks of the diseases the vaccines are meant to “protect” against have become minimal [especially when compared to what is now 1 in 38 British Boys being diagnosed with an autistic condition]:-
This comment is classic:-
Richard Lockwood, on February 15th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
And here are some more:
“There’s nothing wrong with the Madsen paper that I can see. It’s easy for me to figure out what Suissa did. In Figure 2 of the Madsen paper he divided 263/1,647,504 by 53/482,360 to get an unadjusted relative risk of 1.45 (or autism “45% more likely.”) In other words, a a relative risk unadjusted for the confounding effect of age. Suissa then goes on to argue that it’s “somewhat implausible for the adjusted rate ratio to fall below 1, unless the risk profile by age in the unvaccinated group is vastly different than in the vaccinated (effect-modification).” Well, the reason for adjusting for age in the first place was because the risk distribution of unvaccinated children is much younger than that of vaccinated children — this is confounding, not “effect modification.” The rest of Suissa’s argument has the same problem, except it’s compounded by (1) his misunderstanding that you can’t calculate “rates per 100,000 per year” from the Madsen study — Madsen calculated rates per person time, which is what the Young-Geier study should have done. (2) in the Madsen study the n of autism cases vaccinated >20 months age is just too few to quibble about: 30 out of 316.”
Do you agree with Suissa’s working then? In other words was Suissa right calculating rates per 100,000 per year instead of rates per person time?
Your attempts at spin are rather sad when it has been clearly demonstrated why Suissa was completely wrong. I’m guessing that the two peer-reviewed papers make exactly the same mistake but can’t confirm this because you have given no references. Either way, I think it’s a great shame you won’t engage with the science: perhaps because you have some irrational hatred of vaccinations or perhaps because you simply don’t possess the mental horsepower ro properly appraise it:
“Studies currently relied on are epidemiological [statistical] studies which are easily manipulated [as used by the tobacco industry in 40’s and 50’s to prove smoking does not cause cancer].”
It was only through the rigours of epidemiology that an extremely strong relationships between lung cancer and smoking was finally established. Would you dispute this?
To recapitulate:
“You hilariously cite the eccentrically named “epiwonk”‘s blogging on Suissa to extrapolate “epiwonk”‘s non peer reviewed biased writing to claim that two peer reviewed papers, one by the Cochrane Collaboration are in error. ”
“Your attempts at spin are rather sad when it has been clearly demonstrated why Suissa was completely wrong. I’m guessing that the two peer-reviewed papers make exactly the same mistake but can’t confirm this because you have given no references. ”
We can move this discussion on if you would give me the references of the two peer-reviewed papers that prove Madsen to be wrong.
You are being deceitful and dishonest over Cochranes conclusions over Madsen; Yazbak’s and Goldman’s criticisms are weak and this paper wouldn’t have passed review in any reputable journal; it is clear that you neither understand Epidemiology nor have any desire to engage with the science.

Have to say as someone on the fence, reading how aggressive and ill-mannered the pro-vaccine crowd are does make me think they have something to hide.
Apparently Wakefield’s 1998 MMR paper caused MMR vaccination rates to drop from 92% to 79%. Did autism decline as a result? Clearly it should have if MMR was causing it. I don’t know the answer but it seems that cutting the vaccination rate nationwide by over 10% for 10 years would be as meaningful an experiment as could be done to check the original hypothesis.
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2005.01425.x/pdf describes how autism diagnosis was not recuded after the withdrawal of MMR in Japan. I daresay a similar paper exists for the UK, but it is difficult to muster the energy to search for evidence to post in a place where it is largely unwanted.
Wow! I really admire this blog creator. “Putting it all out there” and allowing the debate to be public.
Vaccine ingredients are a frightening brew of–known to be harmful– substances, aside from the MMR and mercury issue. One of the many ingredients/excipients I am concerned over is the aluminum content of the overwhelming majority of vaccines. The cumulative effects of vaccine doses of aluminum exceed EPA’s limit for a full grown man! It is a known neurotoxin. Further, we have no studies, to my knowledge on the cumulative effects of individual excipients or adjuvants and no data on the effects or impact of the combinations. Vaccines are not what they are “cracked up to be”, and I am convinced that in their present form, they are a dying technology even though Big Pharma will fight this idea to its and our death!
