CDC recommended childhood vaccine schedule, pre/post 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act that gave complete liability protection to the vaccine industry, public health and medical professionals:
Full video and testimony in Darrell Issa's House Committee Oversight & Government Reform on the Federal Response to the Autism Epidemic, "1 in 88 Children: A Look Into the Federal Response to Rising Rates of Autism," which began to explore the vaccine/autism question:
Two weeks ago I attended a festival, and decided to take my boys there and camp out. For a week.
"Camping for a week in the mountains with a child with autism... are you mad?" You must be thinking.
Yeah. I guess. But we stopped locking our house from the inside a year ago, and I have let him and his brother walk two blocks to the natural health food store alone (we live in a small town in Maine, so not exactly the biggest danger zone.)
So when I decided to take the boys, I put a shout out to local friends for someone to loan me a tracker, but no one had one, and I didn't have time to order one, so I had to buy one local. The best thing I could find was a hunting dog tracker at LL Bean. The Garmin Astro.
When I started looking at it, I was all... "ummm this is kinda great for what we are doing"... It is to track dogs in the woods.
It ended up being my only option... and $625 bucks... but I figured I would happily pay that much to get Chandler back if he got lost in the woods... so we snapped it up, threw nine thousand lbs of our friends camping equipment into the car and drove north to try to figure out how the heck to do this "camping" that so many speak of.
I was sure Chandler would not wander off. But he did. I was in a lecture, listening to Milton Freidman's son discuss his ideas on how a completely anarchist society would function, and moved chairs to see better. I told Web, but not Chandler, and he went looking for me, out side of the pavilion.
So... actually it was my fault.
By the time Web noticed (he was playing Minecraft) and told me, I whipped out the tracker and located him... but the super awesome security staff, who I had already briefed Chandler on, had already found him and was bringing him back. He was walking around asking, "Have you seen my Mom?"
Thrilled the tracker worked, and realizing that he actually was doing what any normal kid would do when they could not find their mom, I though... "perhaps I have under estimated the boy." So I decided to lengthen the leash a bit, as it were.
We had been there for three days, and knew the place well. So we spent the rest of the day testing out the electronic leash. I gave the boys tasks to do, (go to the Juice Caboose and buy organic smoothies, then to the bathroom, then back to the tent and you guys can play video games.) Then I would wait for them to get out of sight and track them with the Astro.
And they were great!
Families had been playing "Humans v. Zombies" all week, where they divide up, chase each other all over the camp grounds, and the last human alive wins. So I decided to let them play while I went to another lecture. I watched them run around the camp (could even tell when they got into skirmishes with zombies, because their path would go all zig zag. After an hour, Chandler got hot and quit... a HUGE win for autism world! He got to play like a normal kid until he felt like quitting!
So when we got home, Dad took the boys out with the tracker and mapped the place we go in town. Natural food store, Library, gelato shop, all within four blocks... so the boys can start going on more adventures together.
Anyway... no it is not a kid tracker, it is a dog tracker... and it funny when he stops somewhere and it tells me that, "Chandler has treed his quarry." But I kinda love the thing.
And no contract is needed. Which is also nice.
So today he walks up to me and says, "Mom... put my tracker on... I am going to the store by myself to get stuff to make pizza!"
(Also, I am responsible for the autism epidemic... so sorry guys... my bad.)
So I don't blog much any more. Doing more serious and boring work... but taking the weekend off to share with my readers my exchange with a man named Tim Bolen.
If you have never heard of him, skip this post. It is just stupid drama and tangential to anything important for our kids. I am just putting this out there so people in our community see what a creep he is and don't fall for his BS.
Long story short, this is a guy who is basically a PR type guy in the Health Freedom movement (The entirety of which, excluding Bolen, have been wonderful to us and supportive of us), who, from what I can put together, sees the vaccine injury community as a cash cow and is trying to "take over" our movement. (His own words.) Which is hilarious, as no one in our movement actually wants to be in our movement, or do any of this fighting, we just want the poisoning, abuse, neglect and deaths of our kids to stop, and the epidemic to end, so we actually CAN'T stop fighting. (God knows we have all tried, and it only lasts a few months at best before we get dragged back into the battle.)
So long story short, he starts writing hit pieces like six or eight months ago on "Autism Leadership," mostly SafeMinds and that warped into Canary Party, and the stuff he writes is just bizarre, barely based in fact, and never actually goes anywhere. Lots of innuendo, no real point. He wrote a really stupid one Friday, and I finally lost it and posted this on FB, then Age of Autism ran it.
He is also using one of my photos on his page with out permission, so I sent him an email to ask him to remove it. Then another. The following email exchanged ensued.
Posting so you can see what a kind hearted, reasonable guy he is... and how hard he is working to support families with vaccine injury and autism in our fight to stop the epidemic and heal our kids.

Ginger:
Consult an attorney. Since I am writing about you and yours my use is called “Fair Use.” And , I am certainly not intimidated by a “Ken and Barbie” hanger-on.
You can absolutely count on the fact that your work will be associated with mine – very clearly, and widely distributed.
I am looking for MORE photos to use explaining the autism situation as it really is. You people convict yourselves.
Really Ginger, the Canary Party gave Darrrell Issa $40,000 so each of you could have your picture taken with him trying to convince the Autism Community that YOU had some value in the discussion? I am sure you are aware, as I am, that Darrell Issa’s committee did ABSOLUTLEY NO FOLLOW UP after last November’s meeting?
I am having a problem finding the Canary Party’s IRS 990s. Where can I find them?
YOU are responsible for your actions.
Oh, and it would be a very good idea if you consulted an attorney about that little piece on me you put on FaceBook. I may let the first one go, because I think you are a simple, emotional, misguided, dupe, trying to fins a way to assuage your guilt - but a second time…
Hold yourself responsible for Autism. I don’t know how you sleep at night. Alcohol?
Tim Bolen
Please note that The Canary Party is a PAC, not a non profit, so we don't file 990s.
Tim,
It should be very easy for you to sue me. My husband and I have about $800 to our name. Could not even afford a retainer for a lawyer. So you would probably get the like 5 grand in equity we have in our house, and our ten year old Honda Pilot.
And we could probably find an apartment for $500 dollars a month here in Maine to raise our disabled child in. But of course you bleeding us for a judgement for calling you out on the horrible things you are doing to families like ours would end any financing we had to actually treat, or even provide supplements for, my vaccine injured boy.
But yes... I fully believe that you are so evil that you would not only merely steal my intellectual property, slander me and my friends, sabotage the progress we have made struggling for a decade in the political system and do your best to ruin reputations and relationships... as you have already done all that... I believe you when you say you will sue me for telling the truth about you and your actions, and literally end my child's treatment.
YES Tim... I believe that you are that guy! You are that evil.
And you would be happy to do it all, to tear down ALL of the orgs that we have spent a decade building, even to replace them with NOTHING as you have done NOTHING for our community, just to win because, you "absolutely love war." And apparently war with the most vulnerable.
Sadly for me, I have not been given much of a choice in the matter. My commission in life has been to call out liars who hurt the weak and the disabled. Even if it means be being broke, scorned and even murdered.
So feel free to punch a poor autism mom in the face and take what little she has that she can help her child with. Because you are that guy.
Ginger Taylor, MS
(Should Bolen take our home because I published this piece, I will be posting a sign up sheet where you, the reader, can offer my family a guest room at your house for a week or a month at a time. We also have a tent and can sleep in your yard in warmer climes or in summer.)
Ginger:
Fortunately you wrote that piece as the Executive Director of the Canary Party… and now, of course, after Dan Olmstead, who also, like you, for all practical purposes, is an employee of “Ken and Barbie…” re-published your piece, the dynamic has changed.
Life can be fun.
But, what makes you think I’m going to sue you, and yours? My newsletter is a hundred times the size of Age of Autism…
Go ahead and list the “some progress” you claim to have made, please. I’m right here waiting. You people simply glom on to the “flavor of the month.” No plan, no thinking, no analysis – but EVERY opportunity to have your picture taken.
I’m right, aren’t I? Autism Leadership really is a “Ken and Barbie” romance drama, isn’t it?

Subject: Re: Please remove my picture
You don't seem to have grasped the point of my note. You write:
"Life can be fun."
It is fun for you to attack families of disabled children. Even when they are telling the truth.
It is "fun" for you and you "absolutely love" it.
You have done zero to help us, and are having "fun" attacking and threatening law suits. That is the kind of awful man you are.
Get my point? Don't you think that this whole PR campaign for the Geiers might be something you want to rethink for the sake of ACTUAL autism families with ACTUAL sick and disabled kids... and, I don't know... for the sake of not being evil?
Ginger Taylor, MS
Ginger:
I simply can not get by the expenditure of $40,000 to have your picture taken with Darrell Issa – for that’s all you got out of it. And you claim to be so poor…
I, Tim Bolen, am very much thinking of Autism families – but your “Ken and Barbie” operation stinks.
Want me off of your back? Show me a breakdown plan, with an operating schedule, to solve the problem. I find it hard to believe that there is no one within the Autism Leadership that does not know how to do a situational analysis.
The first step to solve a problem is to define it – and I am defining it. ALL of your leadership groups together could only draw 1,500 people to AutismOne. Your group is incompetent and you have no credibility. Wake up. You are problem number one.
Until I see a plan then get the fuck out of the way. Because I definitely know how to do this.
And, stop whining.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK.
Again... you are a bad faith player. You are phony. You have done nothing for our kids. You get paid to talk.
If you believe you have the means to fix the vaccine injury epidemic in this country THEN BY ALL MEANS... FUCKING FIX IT! Because you have not done jack.
I would be THRILLED to retire from the vaccine battle that has sucked up a decade of my life. You started claiming you and 'your people' could fix this six months ago... and yet you have not fixed it. So either you can fix it, and you just aren't, which makes you an asshole who doesn't care about kids, or you can't fix it, and you are just bashing parents for no reason, which makes you an asshole.
Kids getting brain damage every day you sit by and fail to implement this amazing master plan you have up your sleeve but keep failing to execute.
If you are the magician that you claim you are, then how in the world can us lazy, ineffective, drunk, incompetent, non-credible, dupes POSSIBLY be getting in your way??
Looking forward to watching you fix the vaccine problem with your super powers. Please let us know when you have brought the evil doers to justice and healed our children.

(1) You seem to have deleted your earlier audience from this email string, so I am adding them back. I wouldn’t want them to miss anything.
(2) Situational Analysis is actually very simple. It is simply a process. But, for the Autism Leadership community there doesn’t seem to be any interest in actually solving problems – only showing up for an audience, whether in photos, or in person, to PRETEND that something is being done. As one of the Autism Leaders I respect says to me “Ask any autism organization out there, “how do you plan to end the epidemic?” and no one will give you a straight answer, because they don’t have a plan. They are pursuing dead-end goals using outdated strategies. “
(3) You all keep acting like Superman is going to fly in and save the day. Wake the fuck up. Superman is a comic strip. This is real life.
(4) Over the next several months you are going to think you are being boiled in oil – I have that much material – and it all comes from those you have stepped on, shit on, fucked with, marginalized, and laughed at. And, it is going to make really good reading. Plus I have REALLY GOOD investigators and researchers. And, a very large audience.
(5) I intend to hound all of you, continuously, until you start acting like adults. I hold YOU responsible for the autism problem now. Quit fucking around and fix the Autism problem.
(6) You certainly do NOT have the support in your own community you think you do.
Tim Bolen
www.bolenreport.com
Sadly Bolen's plan is still a secret. Perhaps we should pay him money for his plan? I wonder how he plans to unveil his plan?
Also... on a serious note, If anyone reading this feels like they have been "stepped on, shit on, fucked with, marginalized or laughed at" by me, please let me know, because... well I think you all know how I feel about our community, and the idea that any earnest person would be hurt by something I did... I hate that. Please get in touch privately if you feel like I have something to apologize to you for.
Bolen,
I hardly know how to respond... except to say that I think you are
a crazy person.
We are a broke and broken volunteer army. We are self financed.
We are all spending our own time and money. If we suck at it, as
you seem to think we do, then you should definitely tried to get
us... fired? Wait... no one employs us. Oh... you should try to
get our financing yanked... wait... we pay for all our own
expenses.
You are writing hit pieces on volunteers, Bolen!
Newsflash... WE ALL HATE OUR FUCKING JOBS!!! None of us do this
by choice! We do it because no one else is doing it and it has to
be done! Our kids are sick and dying! No one is helping us. YOU
ARE NOT FUCKING HELPING US!
I repeat myself... you and "your team" whomever that is, want to
take over and end this then God Bless You! Do it! Make me
obsolete! FUCKING DO IT ALREADY! Why in the world are you
wasting precious time and resources going after a bunch of losers
like us when you could win the war for us!
I cannot wait to NOT have this responsibility on my shoulders any
more! No more fielding phone calls from parents trying to figure
out what the hell just happened to their child... no more late
nights reading research... no more funerals of my friends children
to attend.
Quit crowing about what a hero you are, and be a fucking hero!
But thus far you have shown up for nothing, done no work, offered
no help!
But we should stop doing... what exactly? Cause I am not really
clear on what you want us to stop doing, since you think that we
should not be doing anything.
So we should NOT have brought Issa to AO? Not put together
testimony for MN? I, all by my lonesome... was fighting for and
against legislation in Maine. But I guess I should NOT have been
doing that here because you and your team were... doing it... I
am not sure. Should we not be trying to get more hearings in the
OGR?
Please let me know what you want us to stop doing that is getting
in your way of saving the world. Because if you got this, then I
can go back to my career and buy a second car and pay of my school
loans. That would be sweet.
Ginger Taylor, MS
That was the last email in that thread.
But as a bonus!
So part of what he started doing late last year was make up an email list he called the "Autism Leadership Council" which presumably included the leaders of our various groups, CP, GR, AO, NAA, EBCALA... don't know exactly, because he BLIND COPIES the list and uses it to troll everyone. He sends out these emails basically baiting people into saying mean things about each other, but no one can respond to the group only to him. They are usually followed by people in our community randomly forwarding the emails to one another with comments like, "Who is this guy?", "Crazy." and "WTF?"
I got these emails for a while and I didn't know for like two months what the "Autism Leadership Council" was. I thought there was some new group I had not heard of.
So yesterday he sent out this one:
Subject: The expose has just begun...

To: Ginger@AdventuresInAutism.com
Autism Leadership Council
I want to thank all of you that commented on the recent shake-up of the
existing Autism leadership – or, as I point out – the lack of Autism
leadership.
This expose has just begun. Be assured that I, or my people, have checked
out every situation that all of you told me about. The pattern that many
of you described is just as you described – I’m sorry to say.
No wonder Autism is still right here with us.
In conversations with many of you I have brought up a concern I have. It
is time, I think, to talk about this more openly. It is the simple fact
that there are only two answers available to the question "Why isn’t the
Autism Community successful in any of its efforts?" The two possible
answers are (1) The current Autism leadership is venal and stupid, or (2)
They are a true Fifth Column.
So, let’s talk about that.
I have spent hours and hours listening to many of you describe how time
after time, over the years, momentum to accomplish something begins,
builds, and then gets co-opted and nullified by almost always, the same
group of people. I find it hard to believe that time after time, year
after year, “venal and stupid” wins. After all “venal and stupid” is venal
and stupid. Venal and stupid doesn’t consistently win.
I have a shocking series of Autism situation stories coming up. Stuff that
only some of you know, and horrible stuff none of you already know, but
should have been informed about.
Although my newsletter is primarily directed at what’s called "The North
American Health Freedom Movement" I have developed a serious Autism
readership – so, my words are going to have a direct effect . And, about
time.
As you know, I have kept all of your comments private, and acted on them
privately, without revealing the source. That policy continues. Send
comments, and questions, to jurimed2@earthlink.net.
Yes, it is my intention to make change. I already see that happening. And,
I absolutely love war. Tim Bolen
http://www.bolenreport.com
Still trying to figure out what the "recent shake-up of the existing Autism leadership" is that he was referring to.
This particular email was followed by a couple of "WTF?" notes flying around... as apparently he is trying to save half the people on his list from the other half of the people on his list? All these people, of course, who have been working together and fighting together for like ten plus years.
So ... already having lost patience with his trolling, I sent the following:

So there you have it. This is the guy that is going to unseat me and my fellow broke ass, fried volunteers from our glorious and powerful positions of... staying up all night and reading research and testimony and writing books and articles and news letters and trying to remember the relevant points of finding standard deviation, and pounding hallways and briefing parents over the kitchen table and ranting on the internet... you know... all that super sexy stuff that us advocates get to do.
Getting fired from fighting against the Vaccine Lobby is like getting fired from your volunteer job in the coal mine or the fox hole. The only thing you're gonna miss is your buddies.
So just give Dobby the fucking sock already!
God bless him... can't wait for him to take over this work already and end the autism epidemic! Then I can get back to drinking full time!! Now where's my box of wine!
Addendum: Heard from as associate of the Geiers who says, "The Geiers and Tim Bolen are not working together and have not been working together for quite some time." Very good to hear.

CC: Mark Blaxill, Jennifer Larson , Patti Carroll , Katie Weisman, Dan Olmsted, Kim Stagliano, Barry Segal, Diane Miller, Jerri Johnson
Mr. Bolen,
We have posted the information and video on the MN hearings, along with further information on what people can do to try to prevent the expansion of the vaccine schedule in that state.
The effort to fight the expansion was organized by Canary Party Executive Director, Patti Carroll (she began working on this last November) and we are thrilled that so many individuals and organizations stepped up and took part.
I am forwarding this information to you so that you have what you need to print a retraction of your last piece on what you have described as "Autism Leadership," in which you falsely characterized us as "organizationally constipated" and erroneously claimed that, "They simply cannot, and will not, form up." Please note that our action alert on the matter brought over one hundred people out to challenge the changes, four times what was needed to trigger an administrative hearing before a Judge. We are in the process of compiling the dozens of pieces of testimony that were submitted, but that will take some more time.
If you are interested in helping, rather than hamstringing or harming, efforts to roll back the epidemic of vaccine injury in this country, it might be a helpful choice to run this information in its entirety so that your readers can join in the effort in MN. It is my understanding that when presented with a similar opportunity to tell your readers about the attack on the vaccine exemptions in your home state of California during the last legislative session, rather than help spread the word on the fight that Canary Party members were putting up against the bill, you called one of our activists leading the fight and told her to be happy that the bill was not worse... and declined to tell your readers that their rights to forgo vaccines with out coercion in CA was under attack.
I respectfully request that you let your readers know about the efforts of the Canary Party in MN, and the wonderful coordination that we had with our sister organizations, and correct the record so your readers are not left with the false impression that CP had no role in the hearings, and that Ms. Miller's organization was the only one that showed up to offer input on the vaccine expansion.
Also.. please correct the very strange accusation that the Canary Party did not say the word "vaccine" at hearings about the "vaccine program," as it is both inaccurate and nonsensical. (Video of our ED, Patti Carroll's testimony on the "vaccine" schedule and Pharma/MNMDH's malfeasance and conflicts on this issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5jFrfyuYHg

Update:
The harrassment from Bolen has continued, and only become more disturbing. On 12/31/14 in a yahoo group with dozens of professionals, he compared me to a "howling dog" who someone has "with a stick, inserted the turpentine soaked rag six to eight inches up the animal's rectum."
He was ejected from the group and I have requested that he never contact me again. Despite this, he continues to try to contact me.
Update:
After more attacks online, I invited anyone to ask me any questions to clear up any of the lies that Bolen has spread about myself and my colleagues. An earnest woman sent me the following and I replied. Posting because I don't think that I have done a detailed response to is crazy pieces where he just makes up lies and publishes them Posting part of the exchange here:
Hi Ginger
I sent you this FB message, but you might not have received it.
I realize you are probably busy, so please don’t spend a lot of time on this. I am just a truth warrior looking for the truth. I followed a lot of the thread between you and Ron Fogia and found his information to be at first persuasive, but then questionable especially his tactics in blocking you from being able to answer.
The main point that stands out for me is that he accused Mark Blaxill of having ongoing ties to pharma companies.
I have enjoyed many of your blogs. I appreciate your efforts to share you story and inform unsuspecting parents. I seek to provide facts to help those still convinced of the vaccine myths in order to help them avoid vaccine injure which you and many of pioneers know all too much about:
Hi Ginger, I'm not sure if you have ever answered Tim Bolen's allegations against Mark Blaxill, or what your position is in regard to Blaxill. The confusion caused by the likes of Ron is not helpful I understand. And I know Tim Bolen does not have a pristine record. However, some of the points he makes about Autism One and Blaxill doing his own conference in Texas are concerning. I am not an "insider". It is difficult to sort the information from the allegations. I thought maybe this topic has been addressed somewhere. http://www.bolenreport.com/autism/autism%20infighting16.htm

It is clear that there is a lot of disinformation as well as confusion. Then comes all the blaming and name-calling. All this does not help the unification against those who have committed crimes against the children of this country. I'm just trying to understand the truth. Thanks if you have time to direct me. - B
Hi B,
No I had not seen it. Thank you for contacting me directly.
I will try to address this as best I can (and yes we have
addressed these things constantly over the years) but the problem
with addressing Bolen's writing is that it is just a fantasy. He
will take an actual event and twist it into something
unrecognizable and leaves people who were involved to go, "What?
What the hell is he talking about?" For every paragraph he writes
it would take three to explain what is wrong with it. And then
some stuff is just completely made up.
And having to read this stuff is just like drinking poison.
Tomorrow I have the fun task of going to the police again to see
how to start a request for a restraining order because he will not
stop sending me harassing emails.
It has been a rough night, but I will try to address this as best
I can.
What you need to pay close attention to is that Bolen opens every
one of his "newsletters" with:
"Opinion by Consumer
Advocate Tim Bolen"
He does this because if he says "Mark Blaxill showed up to
a party in a dress," when in fact Mark is a button down, preppy
52, year old Harvard MBA that does not even appear in public in a
shirt with out a collar, was not wearing a dress, has never worn a
dress, and appeared at the event in tasteful men's casual wear...
with pictures to prove it, if you try to sue him for defamation or
slander he can merely respond... "This is an OPINION piece. It
was my OPINION that Mark Blaxill was wearing a dress."
This is Mark at that karaoke party. Mark was a singer at
Princeton, wonderful bass voice, and will sing for us about once a
year. Notice the lack of women's wear on him:
Allow me to walk you through what it is like for me reading
Bolen's garbage:
"On January 24th, 2015 in
Minneapolis, Minnesota an event was held sponsored by a
self-styled Autism Leadership group calling itself either
the "Canary Party or "Health Choice," whichever name, I
think, sounds catchier to whomever they are talking to at
the time."The
event, allegedly a book-signing at a University, by
authors of ten books on autism issues, was advertised by
hiring a billboard somewhere near Minneapolis, and the
most meager of FaceBook campaigns. Of course, no one
showed up. The event was a massive failure. The
temperature outside in Minneapolis on an average January
24th was high of 32 and a low of 26. It was a
grandstanding to NO audience. Authors flew in from all
over the country to sign books for each other.
Just one more massive failure, by this group, to add to the list."
We had a book event, which Bolen did not attend, and managed to get
the University of MN. The school was harassed to throw us out, and
the skeptics warned students not to come. It was cold that day, but
we still got a decent turn out. We also got some people with brains
to listen to us from MN. Yay! A little victory against adversity!
Right? No... according to Bolen, who was not there, it was a
"massive failure." WTF?
And did he miss the part that CP/HC members have published a DOZEN
books on the problems in the vaccine program and mainstream
medicine, all aimed at the mainstream population to expose the
damage being done? I feel like that was kinda the point of the
event.
http://canaryparty.org/the-news/75-questioning-the-vaccine-program
Didn't he kinda bury the lead?
"Like the characters in the old Children's
Song titled above, some of what is known as Autism Leadership,
have been locked into a solution pattern that did not work in
the past and will not work in the future."
Umm... what's "Autism Leadership?" Is that a group I have not heard
of yet? (Googles "Autism Leadership." finds nothing.) Who is he
talking about, is that supposed to be us? I don't understand.
"Thankfully though, there is a big, long
overdue, power shift going on in the autism community. The move
is away from the Canary Party/Health Choice partying, preening,
and posturing, towards determining actual solutions - then
working towards actuating those solutions."
There's a power shift? When did we have power? What exactly did we
have power over? And where did we loose that power? Did
someone say they wanted to stop working with us or something?
No? Then anyone know what he is talking about?
"There is,
of course, with this, discomfort. Those that think like the
Canary Party/Health Choice posers, assuming that they can
solve the autism problem by having their $40,000 photo taken
with a Congressman (and, yes, that has happened - see below),
are looking around kind of stunned, wondering where that
Congressman went once the check cleared. For Autism
Leadership REALITY is here in all its starkness. What works
is over here. What does not work is over there.
And, it is
ABOUT TIME."
Me: "I don't even
know what this means!" Jennifer Larson: "He is a crazy
person! Now stop reading Bolen's crap and finish writing the
Congressional briefing packets! We have 8 Congressional meeting
starting tomorrow and I have to be on a plane to DC in two
hours! Did you find a videographer for Thursday yet?"

"As
everyone has figured out, the effort to destroy Autism One,
the biggest most inclusive event in autism, and replace it
with a Canary Party/Health Choice Ken and Barbie Play Day, failed.
Autism One is bigger, and stronger, than ever, with far more
support once, as I reported earlier about Autism One "They
threw out the trash..."
Hey
guys... did one of you try to "destroy AutismOne" and not
mention it? Because why would you try to destroy AutismOne?
Does he mean that when we were a sponsor in 2013, and then in
2014 decided to sponsor a different conference with our
limited funds? Yea... I guess not sponsoring a conference is
a effort to destroy it. Yes... I know, I know... Bolen is a
crazy person. Got it.
And it goes on and
on and on! If I responded to all the craziness just in this ONE
post it would take me all day. So I will hit the highlights.
"The hijacking of the November 29th, 2012 autism hearing
in front of the US Congressional Oversight and Government Reform
(OGR) Committee chaired by Congressman Darrell Issa."
Long
story short. Brian Hooker was working with OGR on the
hearings... We were told
by one of the staffers that... they no longer wanted him to testify before the
committee. SafeMinds had been working on Capitol Hill for
many years and Lyn Redwood was put in to testify in his
place. Lyn then had a schedule change and could not appear,
and asked Mark to appear. Jake Crosby, with out citing any
sources for his information, decided that Mark schemed to get
Brian thrown out. 30 people tried to talk to Jake to get him
to stop lying about this. He won't. Bolen reports the lie as
truth. Despite the fact that there is no source on the
record, apparently it is up to us to be able to prove a
negative, which is impossible to do.
And
all the crap about the Congressional Panel at AutismOne?
Complete nonsense!
"Some time between that May 11th video and
May 24th, the day of the panel itself, things changed.
Suddenly, the Canary Party was sponsoring the panel, the panel
moderator was changed from attorney Bob Krakow to Mark Blaxill,
and the panel was increased by one member Darrel Issa, the
Chairman of the US Congressional Oversight and Government Reform
Committee."
Here
is Bob Krakow moderating the Congressional Panel!
Note that Krakow thanks
AutismOne for "making this happen." Mark's crime? Introducing
the panel.
"Bringing Issa was a waste of time."
Bringing
Issa was amazing and opened a ton of doors and allowed us to
get some amazing messages out. like the Congressional briefing
i linked you to. It made our cause legit in DC.
Bolen does not
know anything about what we do behind the scenes and what came
out of bringing Issa to AO.
Canary
Party/Health Choice's succession of failures...
(1) Probably the key event, the catalyst, so to speak, of
change, was the, behind the scenes, big money spent, blatant
takeover of that November 29th, 2012 Congressional hearing
event, where Brian Hooker, and others, were pushed out of
testifying in favor of whatever-the-hell-that-was where Ken
(Mark Blaxill) couldn't get the V word out of his mouth."
Here is Mark testifying at the hearings about
vaccines and autism. Note the audience applause.
(3) Then
there was the Canary Party's attempt to claim credit for
something the Health Freedom Movement did in Minnesota. I wrote
about that here."
(8) Their eviction from Autism One. I
don't know the whole story about this, but from what I am
hearing, it may all have started when Ken (Mark Blaxill) showed
up at the Karaoke Party at Autism One 2012 wearing a woman's
dress that, apparently fit him very well. It is not known
whether Blaxill brought this dress with him in his suitcase, or
whether he wore a dress that some woman had worn that day to
Autism One. I don't even care to hear an explanation."
Would
you like to see the email that Teri Arranga of AutismOne
inviting us to sponsor the conference in 2014?
Not
sure if you’ve seen on Facebook, but we’ve already started work on the
conference for next year. This work includes speaker selection and
space (e.g., lecture/meeting room) allocation. As you can imagine with a
schedule as big, intricate, and challenging as AutismOne, there is more
flexibility earlier in the planning process than later.
Please let me know if there is interest on the part of Canary Party.
I will be the liaison for the aforementioned, so please contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Teri
(***) ***-****
As for this:
"Ken is actually an Intellectual Property
Strategist with, at least in the past, an impressive client list,
some of which, he admits, are Big Pharma. Got that? Absorb it."
MARK DOES NOT NOW, AND HAS NOT EVER, HAD ANY PHARMA CLIENTS!
Prove it you say? How can anyone prove a negative I ask!
(Got one thing wrong and sent her a correction - I talked to Mark and I have to make a correction to what I sent you. He said that he worked at BCG from 1988 to 2006, and during that time he did work on one pharma project. He contributed to one for Merck. Sorry. But he would not shut up about vaccine risks and BCG fired him, so clearly it didn't compromise him. And he has never had a pharma client since, and vehemently says he never will.)
Bolens writing is wall to wall bullshit. Sorry... it is is
Bolen's "opinion" that mark has "an
impressive client list, some of which, he admits, are Big
Pharma."
So he doesn't have to prove it or anything. No source, no link.
Nothing. Just an opinion piece. He told you so right at
the top.
Note that even though he attacks Age of Autism for screening
comments, he allows no comments what so ever on his web site.
Because he could not lie about people, as they could show up and
post videos of the events he lies about and shut him down.
It is my opinion that Tim Bolen is a con-man and a
sociopath. And everything I have written in this email is my opinion.
And it is also my opinion that you, B****, are
SENDING ME THREATENING, CONFRONTATIONAL EMAILS AND I AM AFRAID
FOR MY LIFE AND YOU ARE CLEARLY PHARMA!!!
See how that works? Imagine someone doing that to you publicly
for three years.
Do you see what I mean when I say you can't even sort through it?
Do you know how many hundreds of hours we have spent at this point
trying to untangle the lies this man tells?
I'm gonna go to bed. Please feel free to send me any other
questions. I appreciate when people come to us directly. Hope
this helps.
Final update: After Bolen's serious harassment of other autism moms and notifiying Bolen that I considered his behavior toward me harassment, I told him that he was not to contact me again. He continued to try to contact me for a full year, and I eventually contacted the police.
They in turn called him and told him that they had been notified that he was harassing me, and that they were now tracking the case. Reiterating formally that I did not want him contacting me.
Bolen's response was that he would continue to try to contact me despite my request and the request of officials.
So he has officially declared himself to be a stalker.
I have blocked him everywhere so I don't have to deal with the harassment any more, so when you message me and say, "Have you seen what Bolen wrote?" my answer will be no.
Closing this chapter with this troubled and dishonest man.
As is my tradition, since getting so fucking fed up with all this "Autism Awareness While Rome Burns" crap, I am merely reposting my blogs from April 2 in years pas to illustrate that the rate climbs, society falls apart, and the establishment wants you to be fine with that. Giant load of horse droppings, this.
Oh yeah... the autism rate is 1 in 50 now. But no worries. Have a blue light bulb.
(Yeah... I don't bother removing the curse words any more. This is so fucked up.)
Post from 2012:
Light it up blue!
So how * many years are we going to do this?
Hey America! 1 in 88 of your children is disabled for life (up 23% from two years ago, but no worries, just better diagnosing!)... they will cost a few million each to raise and care for, few will marry or have fulfilling careers, they will be bullied by peers, neglected by school systems, abused by caregivers and sexually assaulted by predators when you turn your back. Many will die from seizures, anaphylaxis, drownings, accidents, negligent homicides and be murdered long before their time, and at best, they still won't be able to fully communicate with you, the parent, who longs to have a close relationship with your baby.
They will struggle every day in ways I never will.
Most of this is, of course, entirely preventable, as CDC, AAP, HHS, AS et. al. knows * full well that this is an environmentally caused epidemic, as autism didn't even exist in the medical literature before the 1940s, but instead of actually facing that there is a society altering problem... a course of history altering problem...
Lets * Celebrate * Autism Day AndMake Things * Blue!
('Cause Autism Speaks needs some more cash for their * Park Avenue offices... the economy has been rough on them you know... Geri Dawson had her * salary cut from $640,000 to $435,000 for her super intense job of looking very busy and important while NOT * curing autism.)
So * sick of this garbage. Off to celebrate this * day at a * IEP. Pretty sure that everyone in the room will be wearing party hats and telling me how thrilled they are that my child has autism, what with autism being something to celebrate and all...
* feel free to mentally reinsert the curse words that I removed before publishing. I am angry.
Just reposing my column from last year:
World Autism Awareness Day: Autism Exists, Let's Celebrate? Even Though It's Killing our Children?
April 2, 2011
My regular readers already know how I feel about Autism Awarness Day/Month. Everyone is aware already, how about actually doing something about it? No... instead let's just wear blue and do nothing. Except, of course, give money to Autism Speaks. Their party budget is getting low and Geri Dawson has horses to feed.*
Anne Dachel makes the case yet again this year:
I have a hard time each year with AUTISM AWARENESS DAY/MONTH. This is the Fourth Annual International Autism Awareness Day. How long are we going to pretend that all this autism is normal and acceptable? Seriously, how bad do the numbers have to get?
A number of stories out in the news calling for the public to "celebrate" the day. Today is World Autism Awareness Day by Kristina Chew "Today, April 2, is the fourth annual World Autism Awareness Day, during which 'autism organizations around the world celebrate the day with unique fundraising and awareness-raising events.' "
Pueblo Chieftain: Blue balloons raise autism awareness, "The baby blue balloons that Jonah and his classmates at Beulah Heights Elementary School released were to celebrate the beginning of National Autism Awareness Month. The event is celebrated each April, while the World Autism Awareness Day is today."
Sioux Falls Argus Leader: 5 questions: Shedding light on autism, "The falls will be colored blue by lights in support of the Autism Speaks' global Light It Up Blue campaign to celebrate World Autism Awareness Day and Autism Awareness Month."
Lufkin Daily News: Peavy students working to raise autism awareness, "Because of the prominence of the disorder in boys, blue is the official color for autism awareness and the reason the entire Peavy campus was encouraged to don the color Friday to celebrate Autism Awareness Month."
Berkshires.com: Diversity Takes Center Stage in the Berkshires, "'We have so many people supporting this committee right now,' said MaryLee Daniels, director of the Berkshire office of the Department of Developmental Services, and committee member.
"BFAIR, BCArc, the list goes on as to how many organizations support this initiative. We especially want people to join us in celebrating three different months of diversity. Of course, last month was Black History month. This month is Developmental Disabilities month and next month is Autism Awareness month. We have so much to celebrate here."
What is there to celebrate?
Lots of stories are about lighting things up in blue for autism awareness. Lots of them talk about autism being a developmental disorder affecting one percent of children whose cause is unknown. This is done without any alarm or demand for answers. We have been conditioned to accept autism as the perpetual mystery.
As the parent of a son in his 20’s with autism, I’ve had several decades of experts knowing nothing about this disorder. Is this to be the epidemic without a cause?
Looming in the background is the reality of what autism is doing to us. As I listen to the dire predictions about the hard economic times we're in and the need for austerity, I have to ask how in the world we're going to address the needs of the generation of children with autism about to descend on America as adults.
Dr. Thomas Insel is the wet blanket in all this celebration, acceptance, and awareness of autism.
He's the head of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee created by Congress to deal with with the disorder and he says that 80 percent of Americans with autism are under the age of 18. He's warned us we have to prepare for a million dependent adults "who may be in need of significant services." The IACC now calls autism "a national health emergency."
Maybe a better name for April 2 is World Autism Emergency Day.
Anne Dachel
Media editor: Age of Autism
Anne is right. And I gotta wonder, exactly how long this PR BS is going to continue.
And the biomed community isn't even being remotely polite about this any more. These are the two images that are being passed around on facebook today:
Last year I began a new blog. Lives Lost to Autism. I got more than a little bit sick of the blatant fear mongering of death by diseases that are NOT killing Americans, like measles, while the deaths of our children caused by their autism go unlamented and ignored by health authorities.
Last year 10 children died of Pertussis and the response was a national campaign to get people vaccinated (both adults and children), new state vaccine mandates are being pushed through, and the press on it has been everywhere. Last year at least 27 children and adults died as a direct result of autism, and unless you are in the autism community, or one of these deaths happened in your town, you probably never knew it. Even then, it is always an isolated incident, yes? (There were 41 reported deaths following the pertussis vaccine last year, but that is a whole other story.)
And those 27 autism deaths are only the ones who came across my google alerts for "autism deaths" or "autism died" or "autism drowning." The test I use on how to include them is basically, "would this have happened to this this person was neurotypical?" Who knows how many more went unreported or didn't get picked up by google. I would love to quote an actual statistic on how often autism kills, or how their incidence of premature death compares to the general population, but no public health agency cares enough to track this.
But insurance companies, whose bottom lines are effected by deaths and actually need to know if autism is deadly, won't sell life insurance policies on children with autism younger than 10, because it is not a good risk for them. See the problem there?
Our precious ones drowned, were murdered by caretakers and loved ones, were shot by police, suffocated while being restrained, were hit by cars, burned to death in fires, died from neglect and were killed by seizures. A few of them even killed others during their own melt downs.
Bryan Nevins, age 20, died because, on a hot day, he could not simply open the door of a van and get out. His institutional caretaker was on her cell phone and forgot about him for five hours. She is in jail now.
Autism kills and our government could not give less of a damn.
Autism Speaks doesn't seem to want to make that point that autism kills more than whooping cough, because then the public might actually begin to see this as a public health emergency and demand results... and then were would AS be? The party financing would dry up. Better for them to let autism linger and keep sucking up cash from suckers as they pretend to do something about it. Autism Speaks has found quite the cash cow.
(Speaking of... Guidestar finally posted AS's 2009 tax returns... they took in 45.5 million, and less than a quarter of it went to grants to do what the purported purpose of the org is, "Autism Speaks (AS) funds research into the causes, prevention, treatment and cure for autism. AS raises public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society. AS aims to bring the autism community together to urge government and the provate sector to take action to address this urgent global health crisis." Of the whole list, "autism awareness" is the only thing that I think they actually have accomplished since their inception.)
And HHS's admissions that yes, vaccines CAN AND DO CAUSE AUTISM would mean that HHS has been able to do something about this FOR YEARS and has not done it. It means that those vaccine cases can be avoided by screening for mitochondrial disorders, autoimmunity and toxicity, and treated early on if doctors were actually taught that "vaccine induced encephalopathy" exists and if recognized and treated immediately that it may minimize or even prevent many cases of autism from developing.
And that might also mean that the people who have been sitting on this information for years, and decades, might suffer some consequences.
But AS has decided to ignore HHS's own claims of vaccine autism causation and openly declared that everyone should stop talking about the vaccine autism link.
Better that we just "wear blue" because dealing with all that ugliness would just be too ugly.
This is my post on "Autism Awareness" from 2008 entitled, "Insensitive Jerk Makes a Good Point". Nick sees all the signs that tell him that Autism is everywhere, but tells him nothing about what to do about it. And this was three years ago. I should try to track Nick down and see if he has figured out what he can do about it yet.
HAPPY PHONY, BS, ARCHAIC, DESCRIPTION OF BEHAVIORS DIAGNOSIS THAT TELLS US NOTHING ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON MEDICALLY SO WE CAN KEEP IGNORING THE TOXIC CAUSES OF WHATEVER THE HELL IT REALLY IS WHILE IT CONTINUES TO KILL PEOPLE CELEBRATION DAY!
Make sure you wear blue, write a check to AS, vaccinate your baby, give him a dose of Tylenol, feed him GMO's and then go back to sleep. They experts are handling it for you.
Insensitive Jerk Makes a Good Point
By Ginger Taylor, Adventures In Autism
APRIL 13, 2008
Last week Nick Jameson, college smart ass, wrote a piece on his reaction to the autism awareness campaign currently under way. One currently struggling with autism might be put off by his callousness until one remembers that he is only 22 and that we were all pretty much insensitive smart asses at 22.
I would encourage all to allow Nick a chance to grow and check back with him in 10 years or so when he is expecting his first child and see if maturity has tempered his stance.
But what is useful from Nick, random college punk, is this reaction:
For example, what is the purpose of putting up a billboard that is telling me a child is born with autism every 20 minutes? What can I possibly do other than sit in my car and mutter to myself, “Well that sucks.” Maybe if there was a cure or even ways to help prevent autism, it might make more sense to have a billboard. Then it would reinforce concepts in people’s head that they could apply later like “only you could prevent forest fires” or “don’t eat cheese before noon.” But frankly, all this billboard is really saying is, “Beware, autistic people are everywhere,” and I’m sure that isn’t the message they want to get across. We already know autism exists; give us something we can work with. If the autism front wants to put us through a year of sappy ads and TV specials, than at least make it worth the time and money and headache. Teach us something. I was on my way to New York City this weekend and every toll booth was littered with autism propaganda. Did I learn anything? No. There are more intelligent ways to get out a message to the public.
Does Nick know that there are successful treatments available? Does Nick know that there are some kids who are completely recover from autism? Does Nick know that there are things that he can do to prevent his own children (should he ever become soft hearted enough for a woman to agree to marry and/or procreate with him) from slipping in to autism?
Apparently not. And that is the fault of the media who won't report the whole story.
So our young Nick has made a great point. One that parents like me have been trying to make for years now. "Autism Exists" is a message that everyone got a few years back now. But the important message, "Autism is Treatable and Preventable" is one that the media will not share with him.
What is it going to take for them to tell the whole story?
In ten years, when Nick is expecting, will he have heard this message from the media? Or, like us, will he hear it from another parent on the playground after Nick Jr. is diagnosed with autism?
Addendum: Autism Speaks had a huge chance this month to get the treatment message out and yet again, they are screwing children by with holding the important message. They certainly have the cash to do it.
/End 2008 article
*Ok... I actually have no idea if Geri Dawson has horses, but I do know she lives on a ranch or a farm or something, so horses... not out of the question really.
DeStefano has offered up another crap study (I think just to defend Paul Offit's "100,000 vaccines at once are safe for an infant" garbage) and I have decided to use it appropriately. Let's all do this just to make a point on what utter uselessness is getting published and accepted by the medical profession.
Step 1 - Print out the study
Step 2 - Take your child to your local Pediatrician, and tell them that based on the study, you are now ready to start vaccinating your child again.
Step 3 - When the nurse enters with the shot, tell her you don't want the whole thing, just the antigens in the shot. Not the adjuvants, preservatives, growth mediums, antibiotics, soaps, proprietary mystery secret sauce, etc... Since that is what the study says is not causing autism.
Step 4 - Watch the doctor and nurse, say, "Ummmm... what?" and then try to figure out what the hell is wrong with you.
Step 5 - Explain why this is a totally inapplicable and crapulent "study." Explain that the antigens are at the bottom of the list of suspects for autism causation. Ask why they didn't just do the vaxxed v. unvaxxed study that the FDA asked for in 1981 and that parents have been demanding for decades, because it certainly would have been a lot simpler and cheaper than doing this piece of irrelevant mush.
I'm sure much more patient and thoughtful analysis of this thing are coming, (you know, one that might point out that this compared vaxxed kids to vaxxed kids, that they did the thing backward, that there was no actual control group, that they could have saved some cash and just counted the number of shots kids had in a given time period... little things like that) but I was so annoyed by it that I didn't have the patience to give it that much thought. Will post links here when they become available.
Vaccine information given to parents does not represent true informed consent. 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (Vaccine Injury Compensation Act orVICA) http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/authorizinglegislation.pdf:
- Declares all FDA approved
vaccines, "Unavoidably Unsafe,"
which means that they cannot be made safe for their intended use.
"The House Energy and Commerce Committee Report accompanying
the Vaccine Act, H. R. Rep. No. 99–908, pt. 1 (1986) (hereinafter 1986
Report), explains in relevant part:
“Subsection
(b)—Unavoidable Adverse Side Effects; Direct Warnings.—This provision sets forth the
principle contained in Comment K of Section 402A of the Restatement of Torts
(Second) that a vaccine manufacturer should not be liable for injuries or
deaths resulting from unavoidable side effects even though the vaccine was
properly prepared and accompanied by proper directions and warnings.
“The Committee has set forth Comment K in
this bill because it intends that the principle in Comment K regarding ‘unavoidably unsafe’ products, i.e., those
products which in the present state of human skill and knowledge cannot
be made safe, apply to the vaccines covered in the
bill and that such products not be the subject of liability in the tort system.”Id., at 25–26."
- Justice Sotomayor, with whomJustice Ginsburgjoins,
dissenting, RUSSELL BRUESEWITZ,et al., PETITIONERSv.WYETH LLC,
http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/09-152.ZD.html
- Provides blanket liability protection for all involved
in vaccine design, production and distribution when injury or death from
vaccine occurs.
- Provides that CDC Vaccine Information Sheets (VIS sheets) be provided to patients or their parents
before any vaccine is administered so that they have informed consent. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/
- Establishes the HRSA Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, designed
to be a compassionate program with a low burden of proof to provide for vaccine
induce injury and death quickly (with in one year) to maintain confidence in
the vaccine program. http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/index.html
27 years later the consequences of this well intended law have been devastating
untold numbers of families, including mine.
1) The number of vaccines administered has
skyrocketed:
When Pharmaceutical companies realized that they
had a product line for which the could not be held liable for injury and
death, and that governments would market for them via school mandates,
they poured considerable resources into R&D for vaccines and
aggressively began to market those vaccines to HHS.
As a result, the Childhood vaccine schedule,
unchanged for nearly 20 years, began to become inflated beginning in 1988,
and is now almost three times what it was when the law was passed.
If I were to have a child today, that baby would
receive more doses of vaccine by the time it was six months old than I did
by the time I went to college.
The current vaccine schedule is untested as a
whole, vaccines are recommended in combinations for which there is no
safety testing, and doses are being added every year.
2) The HRSA
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has become a farce.
Claims were supposed to be processed and paid
with in a year, however families
languish in the program for ten years or more with out a ruling,
reducing pay outs when the injured die before a ruling is made (as death can
be capped at $250,000)
An arbitrary three year statute of limitations prevents many from being
able to take advantage of the program, as most families are never told
that a medical condition for which a child (or adult) is being treated may
be a vaccine injury and must find out on their own.
The VICP which was supposed to be a
non-adversarial process is extremely aggressive with families. DOJ acts as the government's defense
council and often treat parents
seeking compensation as if they are criminals during hearings.
Hearings
are secret and petitioners may
not bring anyone other than their lawyer into the proceedings.
Families council are paid by VICP, so when lawyers are too aggressive in
fighting for families, they are 'punished.' Their billable hours are disputed, the
disputes can go on for months or years, and when the fees are settled,
VICP may take many more years to actually pay them. Attny burnout is high and it is
difficult to find anyone to take these cases any more. I don't know of one in Maine who takes VICP cases.
Special Masters have openly bragged in front of
families that they are pleased at how quickly and how often they are able
to dispense with cases.
Families
who "win" their cases do not receive money outright, but it is
placed in an account for them,
and they must apply to use the funds (the program has actually turned down
requests, for example, when one little girl grew out of her wheelchair,
the family requested a new one. VICP
turned the request down, saying they had already purchased her a wheel
chair.)
There is no
prescient and rulings can contradict each other.
Most
importantly, when the program rules that a vaccine has caused an illness,
disorder or disability, THAT INFORMATION IS NOT ADDED TO THE VIS SHEETS
GIVEN TO PARENTS AND PATIENTS AT THE TIME OF VACCINATION.
3) Parents and
patients are NOT given informed consent as VICA (and LD 672 An Act Relating to Exemption from Immunization for
Schoolchildren) intends
A) In the case of the
condition that is commonly diagnosed as "Autism":
1. While many public health agencies either give the impression or outright
state that vaccines do not cause autism, research
into the VICP has found 83 autism cases that were paid by the program under the
diagnosis of "Vaccine Encephalopathy," the medical term for brain
damage. (http://www.ebcala.org/unanswered-questions)
This was approximately 40% of the sample of VICP Encephalopathy cases that were
examined. If this percentage holds true
for the entire 1300+ cases paid by the program, VICP may have paid as many as
500 "autism" cases.
2. The VICP Vaccine Injury Table
actually lists the condition commonly known as "autism" as a outcome
of the MMR and DTaP vaccine, but refers to it as "decreased level of consciousness/reduced consciousness."
Refer to Vaccine Injury
Table and compare to the information provide to parents on the DTaP VIS Sheet:
Parents are never told to
look for "decreased or absent eye contact," or told that it is a symptom
of vaccine induced brain damage.
3. HRSA has outright admitted that
vaccines can cause the condition that is diagnosed as "autism."
When this legal maneuvering
came to light after CNN aired a press conference given by The Poling family
about their autistic daughter's VICP ruling, a reporter submitted a question to
HRSA asking if this was an admission that vaccines can cause autism. This is the statement that was issued by the
Obama Administration (emphasis mine):
"From: Bowman, David (HRSA) [mailto:DBowman@hrsa.gov]
Sent: Friday, February 20,
2009 5:22 PM
To: 'dkirby@nyc.rr.com'
Subject: HRSA Statement
David,
In response to your most
recent inquiry, HRSA has the following
statement:
The government has never
compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to
compensate, any case based
on a determination that autism was actually
caused by vaccines. 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.
Some children who have been
compensated for vaccine injuries may have
shown signs of autism before
the decision to compensate, or may
ultimately end up with
autism or autistic symptoms, but we do
not track
Subsequently, other families began to share their VICP rulings with the
public. One such case was that of Bailey
Banks, where the wording of the ruling left no question of wavering on the
issue:
"The Court found that Bailey's ADEM was both caused-in-fact and proximately caused by his vaccination. It is
well-understood that the vaccination at issue can cause ADEM, and the Court
found, based upon a full reading and hearing of the pertinent facts in this
case, that it did actually cause the ADEM. Furthermore, Bailey's ADEM was
severe enough to cause lasting, residual damage, and retarded his developmental
progress, which fits under the generalized heading of Pervasive Developmental
Delay, or PDD [an autism spectrum disorder]. The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for
the administration of the MMR vaccine, and that this chain of causation was...
a proximate sequence of cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to
Pervasive Developmental Delay." http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/BANKS_CASE.pdf
4. The vast majority of research into the
vaccine/autism link DOES find an
association between vaccines and what is known as "autism."
I have attached 60 published papers to that effect in the appendix.
5. Sanofi Pasteur now lists autism as a reported
outcome on the vaccine package insert of their DTaP vaccine "Tripedia," and has since 2005. http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM101580.pdf
DESPITE THIS AND MUCH MORE... PARENTS ARE NOT INFORMED THAT AUTISM IS AN
OUTCOME THAT THEIR CHILD MAY HAVE FROM VACCINES
B) Despite the fact that HRSA has ruled that the
Hepatitis B vaccine can cause the
deadly conditions of Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus, parents are not informed of
this on the CDC VIS sheets:
VICP ruled in the case of Tambra Harris, that
the deadly illness "she had suffered as a result of receiving a hepatitis
B vaccination was systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)." (Note that ruling took ten years)

of the Estate of Tambra Harris, V. Secretary of the Department of Health and
Human Services, No. 01-499V, March 23, 2011,

"Entitlement; Hep B vaccine; two months later, Devic's Disease (a
variant of MS) then death."
- JANE DOE/29, Personal
Representative of the Estate of DECEDENT, V. Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services, No. [redacted]V, January 16, 2009,
http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/MILLMAN.DOE012109B_0.pdf
Despite this, CDC's web site claims the following:
"Numerous studies have evaluated a possible relationship between
hepatitis B vaccination and multiple sclerosis (MS). The weight of the
available scientific evidence does not support the suggestion that hepatitis B
vaccine causes or worsens MS."
This leads is to an important
question...
Why would HHS not want to disclose accurate risk information to
parents?
C) HHS does not disclose that it is the patent
holder on the HPV vaccine, and receives
royalty checks on every dose of Merck's Gardasil and GSK's Cervarix.
HHS owns the patent through
NIH, licenses the vaccine through FDA, recommends the vaccine through CDC, and
is its own judge in vaccine injury cases through HRSA.
This gives HHS a powerful reason not to investigate Gardasil injury cases like
Jenny Tetlock's.
In
Conclusion:
The current VIS sheets DO NOT provide informed
consent to parents in making vaccine decisions, and giving them to parents does
not serve the stated intent of LD 672 "An
Act Relating to Exemption from Immunization for Schoolchildren" to
"provide to a parent of the child information about the benefits and risks of immunization..."
The Canary Party urges the State of Maine to engage in a thorough and critical examination
of the CDC recommended vaccine schedule and undertake a dramatic overhaul of
state vaccine policy and recommendations based in the information that has come
to light on true vaccine risks in the last decade.
Vaccine policy should not be based merely on the reduction of communicable
disease levels, but on overall health outcomes for children, including the true
increased risk of autoimmune and neurological disorders that may be caused by
an overaggressive and inappropriate vaccine schedule.
