Whistleblower says CDC knew of vaccine autism link in 2003

August 5, 2014 By Vaccine Choice Canada

“Whistleblower says CDC knew in 2003 of higher autism rate among African-American boys receiving MMR shot earlier than 36 months.

A top research scientist working for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) played a key role in helping Dr. Brian Hooker of the Focus Autism Foundation uncover data manipulation by the CDC that obscured a higher incidence of autism in African-American boys. The whistleblower came to the attention of Hooker, a PhD in biochemical engineering, after he had made a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for original data on the DeStefano et al MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and autism study. Dr. Hooker’s study, published August 8 in the peer-reviewed scientific journal, Translational Neurodegeneration, shows that African-American boys receiving their first MMR vaccine before 36 months are 3.4 times more likely to develop autism vs. after 36 months.” Read full report at Age of Autism.

New video from Autism Media Channel tells the story: Senior government scientist breaks 13 year silence on CDC’s vaccine-autism fraud.
