Crohn’s has traditionally
been an intestinal disease of adults, following years of dietary abuse. Its
appearance in children is a new event, and Dr. O’Leary’s work points to
measles virus from vaccines as the likely cause.
A paper published by Bitnun et al, in the Clinical Infectious Diseases
Journal, October 1999, confirmed the presence of measles virus in the
brain tissue of a previously healthy twenty-one month-old boy, eight and a
half months after he received MMR. The child had no history of exposure to
measles or immunodeficiency. The brain tissue differed from the known
wild-type viruses but was identical to that of the Moraten and Schwartz,
makers of the vaccine strains. The safety of MMR
has been brought into question, both in the United Kingdom and in the U.S.
It is not possible to rule out the possibility that excessive rates of
autism occur among children immunized with MMR.
Take a
look at this chart from Finland. It shows the rise of Crohn's and other
stomach maladies.

The
early epidemiological findings are worrisome. The clinical and laboratory
data strongly suggest the biological plausibility of a link between MMR and
autistic disorders.
The fact that one
child in 150 has autism is
making the evidence hard to hide so, the CDC along with the National
Institute of Health have asked the Institute of Medicine to study and
analyze emerging vaccine safety issues. How is it, after repeatedly
informing us there is no evidence linking MMR to Autism, we are finding out
they are conducting a study on whether or not there is a casual relationship
between MMR and autism, this being the first study of its kind?
The
following is the overview of the vaccine-autism debate:
 |
There has
not been a single credible study that can refute the claims of the
parents that their children’s autism has been caused by MMR or related
vaccines. |
|
|
There are
absolutely no other credible explanations for these children’s
conditions. |
|
|
Is there a
failure to properly monitor adverse reactions governing MMR. |
|
|
In this
new-variant autism, children develop normally, passing all their
developmental milestones, and then regress into an autistic-like state.
This late onset of autism typically occurs at an age of between fifteen
months and two years, which is the period following receipt of MMR
vaccination. They lose their previously demonstrated speech, learned
behavior and social skills. In effect, they dissolve into a state of
mental impairment of varying severity. This is described by the UK
department of Health as just a coincidence. However, very significantly,
older children, aged four, five or six, have also degenerated into
autism after MMR, implying that the link is not coincidental. |
|
|
There are no cases known
of any children who have become autistic just before MMR. This disease
presents itself at birth. |
|
|
Despite
research pointing to original failure to properly conduct safety tests
on MMR, UK Department of Health and other medical institutions continue
to claim that MMR is safe.
