Comments on: Vaccine Conflict Disclosure Isn’t Sufficient http://www.pharmalot.com/2007/06/vaccine-conflict-disclosure-too-subtle-or-just-right/ News, Comment and Conversation Thu, 18 Mar 2010 05:45:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Christine Gorman http://www.pharmalot.com/2007/06/vaccine-conflict-disclosure-too-subtle-or-just-right/#comment-3646 Christine Gorman Tue, 05 Jun 2007 12:48:42 +0000 http://www.pharmalot.com/2007/06/vaccine-conflict-disclosure-too-subtle-or-just-right/#comment-3646 Conflicts of interest should be clear--on all sides. Still, a potential link between autism and vaccines has been explored many times in scientific studies--and simply not found. Conflicts of interest should be clear–on all sides.

It would also have been helpful to point out that the latest Rotavirus vaccine is version #2 of Offits royalty generating immunizations. The first version was recalled after killing and maiming infants by causing the same bowel intussusception as the disease it was supposed to prevent. There are other inaccuracies and misinformation in this piece including the reference to SAFE MINDS who have no part of the lawsuits discussed. Beware of Paul Offit changing history.

The reacction to vaccinations is part of what autism is and for anyone who does not realize it childhood schizophrenia was taken out of the diagnostic manual in 1994 when DSM IV was published so some autism is schizophrenia confusing as that may seem to some. Vaccination as a cause of autism has been an awful detour in the elucidation of the true nature of why there is an increase in autism. Advanced paternal age, advanced maternal grandfather's age at the time of the mother's birth, a family history of autoimmune disorders, a combination effect, a family history of autism, a family history of schizophrenia, etc. etc. the causes are known and the beat goes on about the "mystery" and the fund raising to find the causes and the "Cures". Autism needs to be prevented and there is enough evidence as to how to do this now. These are all links to abstracts and papers on autoimmunity disorders and autism. There are plenty of papers on paternal age past 32 in one generation or another and autism already published. What we need are public health advisories. Parents are mislead by those profitting immensly from the autism epidemic and vaccines are just a distraction from the true risk factors for autism/childhood schizophrenia and other disorders included in the vast category of autism. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=retrieve&db=pubmed&list_uids=5172389&dopt=Abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10385847&dopt=Citation http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10385847&dopt=Citation http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/112/5/e420 http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/163/3/521 http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/cceh/pubs/vandewater.pdf I cannot understand why all the studies that link the risk of some autism to a family history of autoimmune disorders are not widely known.
