Conversation with Children

Dear Parent,

Did you know, researchers say they are baffled by the skyrocketing number of autism cases among California children?

The rise has little to do with evolving diagnostic methods and population increases, according to a study by the University of California, Davis. A previous report showed an increase of 273 percent in the number of reported autism cases in California between 1987 and 1998.

“It is astounding to see a threefold increase in autism with no explanation,” said Dr. Robert Byrd, an epidemiologist who led the study. “There’s a number of things that need to be answered.

We need to rethink the possible causes of autism.” Autism affects a person’s ability to communicate, form relationships with others and respond to their environment.

The study, funded by $1 million in state money, collected data from 684 autistic children throughout California.

Researchers found that changes in diagnosing autism over the years and population growth did not account for the increasing number of cases. The next obstacle is to pinpoint a cause for the outbreak, Byrd said. Researchers have discussed several possible causes, including childhood vaccinations and genetics.

“All these things are out there without anything saying what these numbers really mean,” he said. Some researchers said they believed the autism numbers are even higher.

Dr. Bernard Rimland, director of the Autism Research Institute in San Diego, said the UC Davis study dramatically undercounted autism cases.

“I certainly am pleased that they finally acknowledge that there is an increase,” Rimland said. “However, the numbers they gave are nonsense. They’re kind of minimizing it.”

Hopefully the money that will fund the study will not be given by the drug companies that make vaccinations!

Six new vaccines were added to the mandatory vaccination schedule in the U.S. between 1963 and 1998, including five doses of live oral polio; two doses of live measles, mumps and rubella; four doses of HIB; and three doses of hepatitis B vaccine.

During the same time period, vaccination coverage rates rose in American children under age three from between 60 and 80 percent in 1967 for MMR, polio and DPT vaccines to between 80 and 95 percent coverages in 1997 for DPT; MMR, polio, HIB, and hepatitis B vaccines.

There are plans for up to ten new vaccinations to go through FDA approval this decade, mostly for sexually transmitted diseases. When will it end?

Dear Parent,

Did you know that in January 2002 the American Press reported that U.S. newborns should be vaccinated against hepatitis B before leaving the hospital to protect against possible disease from infected mothers, according to doctors’ recommendations?

Previously, giving the shots in the hospital was recommended only for newborns whose mothers were known to be infected or whose disease status was unknown.

The recommendation is listed in the childhood immunization schedule for 2002, prepared by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Doctors worried that some infants were not being vaccinated early because of concerns that some shots had a mercury-containing preservative called thimerosal, which has since been removed from most vaccines, said Dr. Louis Cooper, AAP president. This suggestion of removal is still yet to be seen by pharmaceutical company labeling.

While there’s been no known increase in infants infected with hepatitis B, vaccinating them before they leave the hospital “just makes good sense,” Cooper said.

Newborns can contract the virus from infected mothers’ blood during childbirth, but vaccinating them soon afterward can prevent the disease from taking hold, said McMillan, a pediatrics professor at Johns Hopkins University. However, there has been NO scientific study to show this is true; only a theory that actually goes against the basic principles of the immune system.

The three factual ways that any human being can contract hepatitis B are intravenous drug use (from contaminated needles), blood transfusions, and sexual intercourse. Seeing that these are not risk factors for newborns, why in the world would we inject a foreign protein past the first line of defense (the skin) directly into the blood stream of a baby whose immune system isn’t fully formed until the age of two years old?
