More Information...
VaccineInformation.org for comprehensive
information about a specific disease and the vaccine that prevents it. Each
page includes a Q & A section, photos and/or video footage, true stories of
individuals who have suffered or died from the disease, descriptions of
public policies, and references to other resources.
Vaccine
Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
provides accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date information about childhood
vaccines, and the diseases they prevent.
On the
CDC's
National Immunization Program you will find immunization
information about vaccine preventable diseases, the benefits of
immunization, and the risks of immunization versus the risk of disease, as
well as educational materials and resources.
National
Vaccine Program Office provides pertinent
information about childhood, adolescent, and adult immunizations. You will
find publications and reports on vaccine preventable diseases, vaccine
safety, vaccine coverage, immunization laws, and immunization registries.
The
National Network of Immunization Information
(NNii) provides up-to-date, science-based information to healthcare
professionals, the media, and the public—everyone who needs to know the
facts about immunization.

Over 20 studies say NO LINK!
Is MMR
causing autism or pervasive developmental disorder? Review the
studies that say NO!
One study looked at over half a million children comparing the time of
dose and onset of autism and compared those who did NOT receive MMR -
STILL NO LINK!
New England Journal of Medicine Vol. 347
No.19
No link to Thimerosal!
- When Denmark STOPPED
using the mercury containing preservative called Thimerosal the cases of
autism increased!
Pediatrics Vol. 112 No.3
Cumulative thimerosal
exposure in over 25,000 children showed no increase in any pervasive
developmental disorder. The same study compared children with NO
MMR, one dose MMR, and when the second dose of MMR was introduced to show
no link.
Pediatrics Vol. 118 No 1.

Is there any
link to
Vaccines and Autism? (CDC)
-
Vaccines
used to contain ETHYL not METHYL mercury. METHYLmercury is
the one that causes damage to the brain. Cumulative
exposure to Methylmercury can produce neurologic and renal damage since it
stays in the body for a long time and can cross from the blood to the
brain. Some vaccines before 1999 had a related mercury
containing product called Ethylmercury (constituent of Thimerosal.)
Ethylmercury in vaccines does not stay in the body long periods of time
like the concerning methylmercury - it is eliminated from the body much
faster. However the guidelines in the late 90s were to limit
exposure to all mercury containing products. No link was ever found
between thimerosal in vaccines and developmental disorders.
Pediatric Associates uses only preservative-free vaccines which have no
added thimerosal. For more information see the IOM links below and
for studies on thiomerosal:
