Whatever Happened to the Stem Cell Connection to Autism?

Vaccines made with fetal cells causing autism?

An EPA study published February 2010 in Environmental Science & Technology found that a marked increase in the incidence of autism began in 1988.

"Although the debate about the nature of increasing autism continues, the potential for this increase to be real and involve exogenous environmental stressors exists."

According to that month's Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute Newsletter, (1988) was the year that the 2nd dose of the MMR vaccine was added to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices vaccine recommendations.

SCPI found 3 "change points" in autism trends - 1981, 1988, and 1995.

The conventional wisdom, that the mercury in vaccines caused autism, has been well debunked.

Vaccines that can be associated with the autism trend change points never contained mercury, and some animal-produced vaccines used universally in the US before 1979 contained levels of mercury as high, if not higher, than current levels.

In light of the EPA's findings, American Life League joined SCPI in calling for a Fair Labeling and Informed Consent Act.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if the same ideological culprits who have dismissed and suppressed the abortion-breast cancer link are also involved here.

Right to Life of Michigan posted two easy-to-read charts listing vaccines made with aborted fetal stem cell lines, and their moral and potentially safer alternatives.

That virus-laden DNA of aborted babies could be wreaking havoc on the DNA of healthy children is completely plausible.
