I would like to wish all of the parents, siblings and family members of children that are suffering from the epidemic known as autism a very Merry Christmas. I would also like to wish the children suffering from this disorder as well, a very merry Christmas.  To the kids affected, I know that you can see what is going on and that you are in extreme pain and confused yet are unable to communicate this to your loved ones. I know that you understand when people talk down to you and that this upsets you. I know when teachers say ignorant things like “we’re wasting our time and resources on these kids that will never amount to anything” that this upsets you and even if you don’t hear them say this, you know by their actions that this is how they feel. I hope that you are blessed with a teacher and caregivers that know what you are capable of and are attempting to help you thrive.

To the moms, dads and siblings that have to deal with idiots in the stores and other public venues that simply give you that “look” when your child or sister or brother can’t deal with the over stimulation of public places and throws a temper tantrum, I wish you peace. To the moms and dads out there that are working, researcher and paying out of pocket for health care for your child that your insurance company doesn’t cover, I wish you success and understanding. To the grandparents and other family members and friends that are supporting, either financially or otherwise, the families trying to recover their children, thank you, you don’t know how important this is for us to have your support.

To the doctors, therapists, nurses, educators and health department employees that turn a blind eye and deaf ear to this epidemic, I can only hope that someday, you are touched by this devastating disorder. As the numbers rise to more than 1% of the population, there is a far better chance that you will somehow be affected, be that with your child, grandchild or other family member. Someday, as you perpetuate this epidemic through your refusal to acknowledge the environmental poisons that you advocate for, someone you know will have a perfectly developing infant that is destroyed by these vaccines.

Someday, a child that you love in some capacity will lose all speech, become seriously ill and will be unable to tell you what or where it hurts. Perhaps they will be 11 years old and still in diapers. They will be eating foods that cause more problems. All of this will be precisely because people like you have not faced reality. Doctors and other public health officials have denied the evidence that vaccine injured autistic children can get better through diet, bio medical treatment and natural remedies. Someday you will wish you had paid attention and done your own research. I know that wishing something like this on you may not hold to the “Christmas Spirit” but as more people in your field become directly affected, things will have to change and this will be beneficial to all of the children already affected. Soon this epidemic will not be able to be ignored any longer.

Just this Monday, Merck Pharmaceuticals announced that Dr. Julie Gerberding will be the new president of the Vaccine division at Merck. This is the very same woman that, as the Director of the CDC, during her tenure from 2002 -2009, told the press and the medical establishment that there was no reason to further investigate vaccines in their supposed causal role in autism. Now, just one year and five days after resigning, she will now once again do what she did in her tenure as one of America’s chief medical officials: push the poisonous vaccines on an unwitting public. These are the people that you have listened to all this time. Stop. Think for yourselves. Do the research on your own rather than continuing to listen to those that are obviously conflicted. This revolving door policy between government and industry should concern you, it is all too common. This hopefully will be the impetus to research this issue before you become directly affected. Become the champion for these children and those to come.

Think about the children this holiday season, the ones that don’t have their own voices. The voices stolen from them by industry, government and the mainstream medical establishment that you have helped perpetuate.
