The CDC just released the latest autism spectrum disorder (ASD) numbers. An astounding 1 of every 50 children in the US is now diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
(http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr065.pdf).
Autism is a lifelong challenge that puts a huge strain on the family as well as the public. Divorce rates for families with an autistic child are estimated to be about 89%. Even those of us who do not have a child diagnosed with autism are affected by this epidemic.
There are also apparent epidemic levels of other early onset neuro-developmental (ND) syndromes such as childhood onset schizophrenia, intellectual disability and childhood bipolar disorder.
All of these neuro-developmental disorders have been associated with de novo (new) mutations in the genes of these children. Isn’t it time we stop giving our children the ingredients known to cause gene mutations in their vaccines? Isn't it time the public learned that pharmaceutical manufacturers are using human fetal cell lines for vaccines we inject into our young children? And that we support the effort of those coming up with sound alternatives?
Many childhood vaccines are now manufactured using cell lines taken from electively aborted (not miscarried) babies. With each vaccine, we are also injecting our children with residual contaminants from the aborted fetal cell lines used in the manufacturing : fragments of DNA and a retrovirus. Autism and other childhood neuro-developmental diseases have been associated with hundreds of de novo (new) mutations, most likely caused by the presence of these fragments of fetal DNA and retrovirus in our children’s vaccines.
Accumulating evidence from family-based exome gene sequencing points to the importance of hundreds of rare, diverse, de novo mutations (DNMs) in childhood ND diseases. Diverse, rare de novo mutations mandates that environmental factors known to cause genomic instability be evaluated for their relationship to these diseases. Evolving concepts about autism spectrum and other ND diseases suggest these diseases to be ‘multi-hit’ with genetic, genomic and environmental contributor.
Requirements for an environmental factor as a trigger for disease include 1) absent or lower levels before the disease epidemic, 2) continued increase after a disease increase is demonstrated (dose-effect), 3) biological mechanisms that are consistent with pathology, and 4) in instances of non-geographically limited disease such as autism, schizophrenia and intellectual disability, it should have almost universal exposure.
Science has established several environmental factors demonstrated to cause hundreds of de novo (new) mutations. These environmental factors include radiation exposure, chemical toxins and foreign DNA fragments. The only potential causative environmental trigger for the hundreds of new mutations found in children with autism and other neuro-developmental disorders that meet the above 4 criteria is the switch from using animal cell lines to using human cell lines for childhood vaccine manufacturing.
Before autism began to rise in the US in about 1980 vaccines were made using animal cells. However, in 1979 we began using aborted human fetal cell lines for childhood vaccine manufacture. The year(s) that autism has taken steep rises differ from country to country, and yet in every country these rises in autism are associated with introducing human fetal manufactured vaccines.
With autism rates now at 1 in 50 it is time to stop using aborted fetal cell lines to manufacture childhood vaccines. Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute is working to educate the public on vaccines and to create new vaccines which will be free of human fetal tissue contaminants, free of adjuvants like mercury or aluminum, and which are ethical alternatives to the MMR11 vaccine.
