CDC Vaccine Data Leads Scientists to Shocking Discovery
The Institute of Medicine held a meeting to review research that has been found, which links
thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative in vaccines, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as
autism. The panel used data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Vaccine
Datalink, which concluded that children who are given three thimerosal-containing vaccines are 27
times more likely to develop autism than children who receive thimerosol-free vaccines.
Thimerosal has been gradually removed from vaccines since 1999, however it is still present in some
vaccinations, including virtually all flu shots.
During the review, medical experts discussed the results from a study that showed urinary mercury
concentrations were six times higher in children with autism, as opposed to normal-age/vaccine
matched controls. They also said that they found evidence that suggested the link between thimerosal-
containing vaccines and autism had a higher risk than that between lung cancer and smoking
cigarettes.

CDC Vaccine Data Leads Scientists to Shocking Discovery Monday February 9, 9:20 am ET CHILDREN 27-
TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP AUTISM WITH EXPOSURE TO MERCURY- CONTAINING VACCINES, FINDINGS REVIEWED
AT TODAY'S IOM MEETING IN DC
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Institute of Medicine will hold a one-day meeting to
review important new research on the link between thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative in
vaccines, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism. One of the larger studies under review
comes from the CDC's own Vaccine Safety Datalink. Under independent investigation, CDC's data
concludes children are 27-times more likely to develop autism after exposure to three thimerosal-
containing vaccines (TCVs), than those who receive thimerosal-free versions. The findings are not
only disturbing to government officials like U.S. Rep. Dave Weldon, M.D. (R-FL), who is also
scheduled to speak before the IOM panel, they suggest autism via TCVs has a higher relative risk
than that between lung cancer and smoking, which according to the American Cancer Society is only 22
for men and 11 for women. "This absolutely confirms what parents have been saying for years," says
Jo Pike, President, National Autism Association. Like Pike, thousands of parents have reported sharp
regressions in their children following a TCV and many of those children have gone on to receive a
label of autism. An easy mistake to make since the symptoms of autism and mercury poisoning are
almost identical.
Dr. Mark Geier is the lead investigator in the discovery. A medical doctor with a Ph.D. in genetics,
he, along with fellow researcher, David Geier, will discuss their findings of the CDC data in
front of an IOM panel. Among a host of other physicians and researchers presenting will be Dr.
Jeff Bradstreet. He will discuss the results from his peer-reviewed study which concluded that
urinary mercury concentrations were six times higher in children with autism vs. normal-age/vaccine-
matched controls.
