OPINION: Whistleblower: Center For Disease Control Data Linking Vaccines and Autism Destroyed
Leaked scientific data has been disclosed showing that links between
autism and vaccines were covered up by the United States Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention — the nation’s leading public health
agency. In his July 29 statement on the House floor, Congressman Bill
Posey, R-Florida, reported that CDC vaccine safety researcher William
Thompson, Ph.D. witnessed his colleagues
destroying data demonstrating a clear association between the Measles
Mumps and Rubella vaccine and autism. Thompson retained copies of these
and thousands of other documents, which he has turned over to Posey’s
office.
Thompson, a senior
scientist at the CDC, co-led three major vaccine safety studies while
working at the Immunization Safety Branch of the CDC, including a study
on measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autism that has been heralded by
vaccine proponents as “definitive.” Now, more than a decade after the
study’s 2004 publication in the Journal of Pediatrics, Thompson admits
that he and his co-authors “intentionally withheld controversial
findings” and that statistically significant correlations were found,
but that these controversial findings went “into a huge garbage can.”
Last August, Thompson retained a well-known whistleblower lawyer,
Frederick M. Morgan, Jr., of Morgan Verkamp, LLC in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Posey is offering Thompson’s whistleblower documents to members of
Congress for review and is calling for Congressional hearings to
investigate CDC fraud and misconduct.
