    Counting down to Oral Arguments in Attkisson v. DOJ and FBI for the government computer intrusions. RT if you support -- and to fight govt. overreach.

    Certainly you can question one if the worlds preeminent pro-vaccine scientists in his field —who says vaccines can cause autism after all. But the govt and vaccine industry are the ones who picked him as their expert so—

    Couldn't imagine having the kind of ego has to think he is in a position to correct such an award winning journalist as you.

    A story about how the federal govt tried to hide the fact that one of its chief vaccine experts changed his mind about potential links between vaccines and autism...and how lobbyists keep Congress from investigating.

    The usual propagandists can try to convince people to dismiss the govt/vaccine industry’s own world renowned medical expert who says vaccines can cause autism after all. People can have the info and, fortunately, make up their own minds. ;)

    Thank you so much! The Smear is available at most libraries if anybody missed it and is interested in the shady world of astroturf, political operatives, media control and the Smear industry!

    I just finished The Smear.. Wow! Thank you for opening the door, shedding light and bring some fresh air into the dark corners of today’s politics! You are one heck of a good investigative reporter. Thank You and be well

    I think you just accused the vaccine industry-govt pro-vaccine world renowned expert who says vaccines can cause autism after all—of a conspiracy.

    Replying to @SharylAttkisson @nenabill
    Conspiracy theories 🙄...what if everyone is simply doing the best they can with the information they have right now ? Scientists/big pharmaceutical executives & docs are parents too.

    Pretty hard to portray Dr. Zimmerman as ignorant. His CV is here.

    Replying to @Narcolepsy_me @SharylAttkisson
    I've read just about every study ever published. All the claims about vaccines causing autism have no statistical support. Where statistics were used, the authors had no understanding of statistical significant or cause and effect relationships. The ignorance is truly sad.

    Last Tweet for now. Dr. Healy (former head of National Institutes of Health, pro-vaccine and published on vaccines) was onto this yrs ago, about the time Dr. Zimmerman says he notified the govt. Thanks all! Interesting!

    Scientists say it doesn't have to be either/or: susceptible children can be saved, and the rest vaccinated safely, maintaining a robust vaccine program. That way nobody has to play odds with lives.

    Not autism susceptible children; conditions that make children susceptible to vaccine injury. Scientists say we know of several (such as TS and mitochondrial disorder) but have never studied to find the total universe.

    Replying to @SharylAttkisson
    How do you find susceptible children? There is no test for finding autism susceptible children.What is called autism presents differently in everyone.

    Not when asked by a knowledgeable questioner. And not what some of their own experts have told them. See here:

    not messing with you (but don't give me ideas) but my, admittedly very cursory, research seems to indicate that their are no real tests or indications of which children might be susceptible. Suggesting that there is is somewhat concerning to me.

    Since the govt hasn't embarked on studies to identify susceptible children we neither test for it or know all the possibly problematic conditions. Here's another case of vaccine damage- autism with no answer.

    Several of you have asked about susceptibilities for children and vaccine injury. TS is one medically recognized condition that, according to medical experts, was triggered by vaccination leading to injuries including autism. You can read about it here:

    Replying to @SharylAttkisson
    can you point me to an authoritative link (anti-vaxxer web sites excluded) which outlines how one identifies susceptible children at risk for vaccinations. Is there a test?

    The thing is: scientists say it's a false narrative to promote it as one or the other. It's perfectly possible to identify susceptible children, save them, and maintain a robust vaccination program. Some say it would actually help maintain and build confidence in vax program.

    Replying to @SharylAttkisson
    Well, let's stop vaccination of kids at all and let them live like if it was 1860... that will help reduce global population... Good.

    The beauty is: scientists say it does't have to be one or the other. They can determine susceptible children, save them from brain injury or death, while maintaining a robust vaccination program for others. The concept is remarkably simple and uncontroversial.

    Replying to @SharylAttkisson
    In exceptional cases. I guess we have to weigh the risk benefit of vaccines, like everything having to do with YOUR child. Gov should not be in the parenting business! I personally am a vaccination advocate. It’s YOUR child YOU should decide!

    Latest data shows we've paid $4 billion in patient funds for vaccine injuries. Vaccine serious injuries/deaths are relatively rare & most people don't know about vaccine court where they can file, but so many are vaccinated, the numbers still add up.

    "Vaccines can cause autism, after all in 'exceptional' cases"-- Pro-vaccine govt./vaccine industry medical expert What's worse: Sworn Affidavit says he told govt. but they covered it up & misrepresented him in vaccine court to defeat vaccine-autism claims.
