BMJ had secret financial ties to Merck during publication of articles attacking Wakefield

By 2 Comments

By PF Lewis (NaturalNews) When a corrupt medical group wants to discourage dissidence from within, it targets a high profile figure to disgrace. This intimidates others from doing the right thing if it disrupts the lies and profits of Big Pharma. Dr. Andrew Wakefield was a high profile scapegoat, smeared with lies from the media […]

Wakefield’s Autism Research Is Cited by Researchers Who Say They Can’t Replicate It

By Leave a Comment

By Gaia Health Something rather strange is going on in autism research. Andrew Wakefield was smeared, his reputation trashed, his career torched, and his work labeled every negative thing conceivable—including fraud. The Lancet pulled his work off their site; they disappeared it. Everything conceivable was done to discredit Wakefield’s work and make it disappear. So why are […]

Synopsis

Neonatal brain injury is an important cause of death and disability, with pathways of oxidant stress, inflammation, and excitotoxicity that lead to damage that progresses over a long period of time. Therapies have classically targeted individual pathways during early phases of injury, but more recent therapies such as growth factors may also enhance cell proliferation, differentiation and migration over time. More recent evidence suggests combined therapy may optimize repair, decreasing cell injury while increasing newly born cells.

The Age-Old Struggle against the Antivaccinationists

Since the introduction of the first vaccine, there has been opposition to vaccination. In the 19th century, despite clear evidence of benefit, routine inoculation with cowpox to protect people against smallpox was hindered by a burgeoning antivaccination movement. The result was ongoing smallpox outbreaks and needless deaths. In 1910, Sir William Osler publicly expressed his frustration with the irrationality of the antivaccinationists by offering to take 10 vaccinated and 10 unvaccinated people with him into the next severe smallpox epidemic, to care for the latter when they inevitably succumbed to the disease, and ultimately to arrange for the funerals of those among them who would die (see the Medical Notes section of the Dec. 22, 1910, issue of the Journal). A century later, smallpox has been eradicated through vaccination, but we are still contending with antivaccinationists.

After publishing allegations of fraud in the British Medical Journal against the authors of The 1998 Royal Free Hospital teams’ Lancet paper, in the face of incisive criticism from many quarters journalist Brian Deer appears to have vanished from the web.

Mr Deer normally is very quick to post on blogs around the internet but he is not answering the criticisms of his work. This includes on his own blog in The Guardian newspaper which he was given this week and on The British Medical Journal’s responses.

No one has to prove vaccines cause autism anymore. The war is nearly over. What is left is to mop up and clear the diehards from their bunkers.

Is this a premature declaration of ‘VCH Day’ – Victory for Child Health?. It may not be.

But the latest evidence suggests the opposition is in its dying gasps. What key events are bringing the war to an end?

REBUTTAL OF BMJ LANCET PAPER WAKEFIELD FRAUD CLAIMS – NAA UK NEWS RELEASE

Posted on January 6, 2011 by childhealthsafety

The following powerful rebuttal of British Medical Journal allegations that Dr Andrew Wakefield falsified research in a paper published in The Lancet Medical journal in 1998 was issued by the US National Autism Association in a news release exclusively for the UK media.

The BMJ claim results were faked so Dr Wakefiled could suggest a link between vaccines, autistic conditions and bowel disease in children

NAA argue that if the results were faked how is it that now:-

* US Government health officials have admitted vaccines [and not just the MMR vaccine] cause autistic conditions;
* the US Federal Court has order substantial compensation for children whose autistic conditions were caused by vaccines;
* papers published independently in mainstream leading medical journals confirm, just as Dr Wakefield found in 1998, that autistic children suffer serious bowel disease when their non autistic contemporaries do not.

Scientists urge FDA to stop amalgam use

United Kingdom

January 5th, 2011

At the end of the two-day hearing to evaluate the safety of amalgam, FDA’s own scientific panel – including neurologists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and environmental health specialists – told the agency to stop amalgam use in children, pregnant women, and hypersensitive populations.

After reviewing the available scientific studies and the presentations of researchers, experts, dentists, and injured consumers, the scientists concluded that – contrary to the claims of FDA’s in-house dentist Susan Runner – amalgam is not safe for everybody. According to the panel, FDA’s amalgam risk assessments were not adequate to protect hypersensitive adults, children, and unborn babies. Repeatedly, panel members expressed their concern about amalgam use in children. Pediatric neurologist Dr. Suresh Kotagal of the Mayo Clinic summed it up for the entire panel: “There is really no place for mercury in children.” Other panelists went on to explain that dental mercury is like lead. The panel urged FDA to quickly contraindicate amalgam for these vulnerable populations and insisted that FDA provide consumers with labeling containing clear warnings.
