Anti - vaxers are still lying to you , but their late lie comes with just a tip of racism as well . lamentably , it ’s spreading like wildfire on social sensitive , essay once again that Mark Twain ’s saying “ A prevarication can get half way round down the earth while the accuracy is put on its shoes , ” remains dependable today . Perhaps in the internet age , we can say that the prevarication commence all the way around the man before the Sojourner Truth even sit down to put its shoes on .
The claim is that not only is autism much in high spirits among African - American boy who were vaccinated before 36 months than those after that date , but that a“top research scientist ” has revealed that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have known this for over a ten and incubate it up . If the allegation is to be believed , a survey was done of 2583 tiddler living in Atlanta and when this showed autism rates 240 % higher among the early - vaccinated crowd almost half the children were boot out from the survey on irrelevant grounds so as to impart the termination in transmission line with accepted science .
David Gorski atScience Based Medicineexplains the reality in considerable detail , along with mickle of scope on the key player .
The sum-up is that , in 2004 a paper was published inPediatrics , finding that children with autismwere not significantly more likelyto have received the measles - epidemic parotitis - rubella ( MMR ) vaccinum early than those without . It is one of legion papers making the same finding from different post and with different proficiency .
Now a newspaper has been published in a journal calledTranslational Neurodegenerationwhich says that while there was no difference in the population overall there was among African American male child . The finding is made using a very small sample using a method love to be prostrate tofalse positivesby someone with no screen background in epidemiology but aburning hatredof vaccine . It was published in the third issue of a journal that claims to be match reviewed but has noimpact factoryet .
It was come by a video recording that compares the allegations to such horrors as the Tuskegee syphilis experiment , when African American men were intentionally denied good treatment , and the natural process of Hitler , Stalin and Pol Pot . Hyperbole much ?
But the thing really getting attending is the “ whistle blower ” , Dr William Thompson , who purportedly says that the CDC knew about the coefficient of correlation all along and covered it up . Except that in the television Thompson does n’t say much , he mostly just gets rephrase , by , you guessed it , Brian Hooker , the author of the Translational Neurodegeneration paper who claim Thompson order him these thing , but supply no evidence .
deplorably aesculapian facilities for African American tike continue bad , on average , than the US population as a whole , as a effect of higher levels of poverty . Consequently , those whose parents are scared by this determination into not getting immunize their children are even more likely to die than white unvaccinated fry would be . Everyone winnow this fire must sense very proud .
Update : This article in the beginning referred to a 340 % gain in autism . This is the figure that has been trumpet by many of the anti - vax internet site we were critiquing , but even Hooker ’s exceptionally dubious paper reports rate 3.4 time , or a 240 % increase .
