The CDC released an official statement yesterday regarding the voluntary recall of 800,000 doses of the single dose H1N1 vaccine manufactured by pharmaceutical giant Sanofi Pasteur. These particular vaccines were the Thimerosal / mercury free vaccines designated specifically for children ages 6-35 months of age. Thimerosal is the controversial mercury containing preservative that has been linked by hundreds of studies to the autism epidemic, unless of course you happen to work for the CDC. Then the “official” statement regarding Thimerosal states that the studies have been done and there is no evidence of a link. Personal research should be done by each parent before subjecting their child or children to this known neurotoxin.

This is the primary area of concern for me. These recalled batches or lots of vaccines, seemingly from the CDC press release, constitute the nation’s entire supply of mercury free vaccines manufactured for 6 -24 month old children.  The CDC states in their release that the vaccines were recalled because further testing of the vaccines, post release, showed that the initially tested lot as well as three other batches that had been distributed “had an antigen content that, while properly filled at the time of manufacturing, was later measured to be below pre-specified limits.”

Basically this means that the vaccines lost their potency between the manufacturing process and the short amount of time before further safety and efficacy testing was done. The main stream media (which is sorely lacking in any investigative journalistic integrity, particularly when dealing with their primary source of advertising income: the pharmaceutical industry) is not asking the tough questions. The active ingredient or antigen content of these injected vaccines, are attenuated viruses. While the actual definition of something that is attenuated means that it is weakened, the CDC and the pharmaceutical industry clearly describes vaccines in two ways: live or dead virus vaccines.

How does an “attenuated” or “killed” virus lose its potency, particularly to the point that it would be subjected to a very expensive and rather embarrassing recall during an already embarrassing showing regarding the manufacturing and distribution of these vaccines? Why hasn’t this question been asked by the main stream media? Given the already polarizing and combative nature that vaccines invoke in this nation and abroad, shouldn’t this be a subject that should be exhaustively investigated? To the media, I can just say: I guess you just don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

The CDC states that “there are no safety concerns with these lots of the H1N1 vaccine.” Children do not need to be revaccinated due to this recall either according to the official CDC statement, yet given the nature of the recall won’t they be unprotected from the H1N1 flu virus? Is the virus now so benign and insignificant that we needn’t worry about these children all of the sudden? If this is in fact the case, why are we still pushing these vaccines on the unwitting public?

“Parents of children who received vaccine from the recalled lots do not need to take any action, other than to complete the two-dose immunization series if not already completed.” Yet 800,000 doses are being recalled. Is this not sending a red flag up at FOX, ABC, MSNBC etc? The affected lots were distributed throughout the United States therefore the recall affects all care providers and health departments.

As I am deeply concerned about the vaccines that this nation’s government and the rest of the western world subject their citizens to, I must ask why this is happening. Why just the single dose, mercury free vaccines meant for infants and young children? Why isn’t the other attenuated virus vaccines meant for adults being recalled? With this recall, we have two options: not to get our children vaccinated for H1N1 (which would of course be my suggestion to the parents out there) or subject your 6 – 24 month old children to the mercury containing variety of the vaccine.

CDC: “For children 6 month of age and older, vaccine is available in multidose vials. The vaccine in multidose vials has not experienced this drop in potency ….for healthy children at least two years of age, the nasal spray is also an option.”  In this reporter’s opinion, this will ensure that the number of vaccine injured children that regress into autism will continue to rise.  I can assure you that the vast majority of the American public will soon forget about this vaccine and the subsequent recall and will listen to the tired argument that the CDC, AAP and the pharmaceutical industry will be making soon: we took the mercury out of the vaccines and the autism rate has not gone down!

We in the autism community can only hope that this will not be the case, but recent developments tell me to expect the worst. This happened just a few years back when the CDC reluctantly decided to drastically reduce the amount of mercury in the childhood vaccine schedule and in the very same year, added the mercury containing flu vaccine to the recommended schedule for children 6 months and up. We are truly a nation of misinformed sheeple and I don’t see the future looking any brighter.

The main stream media is ignoring the American people as the government poisons their children. Sad, but true.
