Recent Report on Autism and Vaccines

A new study shows that there may in fact have been links between the controversial topic of vaccines resulting in autism. This recent information published by the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, was written after previous contrary claims of vaccines resulting in autism by the Government.

The following information was sourced from the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons:

An article in the March 10, 2006 issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (JPandS.org) shows that since mercury was removed from childhood vaccines, the alarming increase in reported rates of autism and other neurological disorders (NDs) in children not only stopped, but actually dropped sharply – by as much as 35%.

The numbers from California show that reported autism rates hit a high of 800 in May 2003. If that trend had continued, the reports would have skyrocketed to more than 1000 by the beginning of 2006. Between 1989 and 2003, there has been an explosion of autism. The incidence of autism (and other related disorders) went from about 1 in 2,500 children to 1 in every 166.
