New York Times dismisses autism epidemic

This is a story that never ends as on one side you have government, industry and the media claiming that there is no autism epidemic. On the other are the parents and the children that suffer from autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The Times calls it catching up of the numbers that have always been there. They also admit using different statistical formulas as government, and industry that we all know can influence the outcome.
This article comes at a funny time as the writer wishes not to comment on the case of Cedillo vs. Health and Human Services in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VCIP). The first of the Autism vaccine related cases that just began on Monday the 11th of June.
The one thing that never seems to catch on is that the media follows the government and industry lead by pointing in several directions at once to explain away this so called non-epidemic.
They have no solid answer and give many to the question of why? Everyone that claims that it is a disorder that is caused by many things in part or combination such as; mercury, other heavy metals, and the many neurotoxins that children and their pregnant mothers are exposed to including vaccines are quickly dismissed as junk scientist. The majority being chemicals and compounds released into the environment or as part of products that the population consumes.
After all we are a nation of consumers. And we have the Department of Justice to help protect consumers as part of their mandated reason for being. But wait there seems to be a conflict of interest here. Justice represents the non-consumer in the VICP proceedings. Another interesting twist of a system gone awry as the largest taxpayer supported legal firm in the world is fighting its own financial providers. Are you confused yet? Let me provide the statistics. None required as we all know that the people pay the vast majority of taxes that support government and its agencies.
We are witnessing the largest toxic spill in history. When you add up all of the toxins released daily, injected or consumed you have to be willing to except the fact you are poisoning people everyday. And as any scientist will tell you the highest risk goes to newborns and the elderly or those with low functioning immunity. That is not junk science just plain truth. When you live in a toxic world you do tend to witness abnormalities and genetic mutations.
This denial that we are being overburdened by toxins is absurd, and to further claim that this overburden is not harming anyone is flat out denial of the facts. We are witnessing just how bad things are as we now admit that we are harming the earth. And I think that we can agree the earth is much stronger and able to shrug off toxic injury than we humans.
The system that we have in place seems to be confused about its intended purpose. When will it finally put the people first and demand the changes from industry to lower the toxic releases and find alternatives. When will we learn that you can’t expect everyone’s body to take on 30 vaccines before the age of 3? Find ways to understand just who can be injured and find other solutions. Do these things for the good of us all. Stop allowing so many to be considered expectable sacrifices. It would be different if the system would provide honest and independent observation.
I do wish to influence the autism debate. Otherwise I would just be silent and go about my business. Despite the unique statistical studies used by government and industry I can see and hear all of these ASD kids and young adults. I don’t forget about the increases in diabetes, asthma or those that suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) either. There is a problem here and we need to get a handle on it. The government shouldn’t be fighting its own people as is the case. It is supposed to work for us and with us. If we are really free then this is what it would be doing.
