In the 18 years I have acted as a freelance child/family advocate and Expert Witness in Child Protection proceedings after a long career in child protective work, I have encountered many cases where it could be clearly seen that there was a direct link between the administration of a vaccine to a previously healthy and thriving child and the almost immediate deterioration in that child’s health and severe changes in the child’s behaviours. Febrile conditions usually mark the onset of the illness, followed by collapses, and sometimes limpness. Frantic parents have rushed the child to an emergency hospital where doctors have sought to establish the cause of the child’s sudden illness and collapse. They have invariably and very deliberately ignored the possibilities of vaccine damage or have been ignorant about such adverse effects, despite at least two decades of recognition by the UK and USA governments in legislation to recompense families in such events.
When the child makes sufficient recovery and no child fully recovers, the parents realise that the child has suffered some form of neurological harm with failure to make eye contact as a common feature and what parents describe as the child having retracted into a private world of their own.
This or similar accounts could be described by many thousands of parents in the U.K. and other parts of the world but their voices have been studiously ignored by medical researchers who excuse personal testimony as of little value in scientific research – yet it is the strongest and most powerful research which could be conducted into the epidemiology of autism.
In many of the cases on which I have been sent these accounts by parents and lawyers, the child has not been returned to the parents but on their hospital visit they are suddenly surrounded by police and social workers and told that they are being suspected of causing the child’s illness and have done so to gain attention for themselves. [Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy or one of its other nefarious titles] or they have been accused of causing brain injury to the child by strenuous shaking. The parents are quite naturally distraught and devastated. Their torture continues as the child is removed from them and although only occasionally are criminal charges brought against them they lose their child in the Family Courts where standards of proof are much lower and only require the ill-founded and sometimes fabricated testimony of a medical witness and social workers to establish that it was “more likely than not”. That they have harmed the child. Gross travesties and injustices have happened in such cases. It was notable that vaccines appeared in the medical records of the Clark children for whose deaths their mother Sally Clark was imprisoned and who subsequently took her own life which had been so devastated by her experiences.
Parents and autistic children have also suffered when their child’s educational needs have been assessed and a Statement of Need is being prepared – such assessments have also included accusations of Munchausen By Proxy or Dissociative Disorder against the parents by education social workers, very obviously to thwart any attempt by the parents to obtain special educational services for their autistic child. This done to avoid the cost to the local authority of such special educational provision. The autistic children have been forced into mainstream education with no additional help or support and then understandably absence from school becomes the norm with additional penalties for such behaviour following closely behind.
I also believe that there are members of the medical profession and the charities representing autism who have had their ethics corrupted by the finance associated with vaccines and have been part of a cover-up of their devastating effects on many thousands of children and their families in the UK and worldwide. Thankfully American politicians and celebrities are now pressing for a full investigation and at least one Court case in America has made a breakthrough in forcing the American government agency responsible for the safety of medicines to admit the link between autism and vaccines. The Japanese government stopped the administration of some multiple vaccines many years ago because of their devastating effects. Recently introduced vaccines now given to young girls ostensibly to protect against cervical cancer are already causing deaths and cases of serious illness.
I also consider that Professor Baron-Cohen’s fanciful speculations that autism may have genetic causes is designed as a deliberate distraction to divert attention away from the real causes, vaccines.
How much longer can the cover-up of vaccine damage go on? Obviously the British government and the medical profession will continue to be `in denial’ for as long as it is possible to hold out. Careers and not inconsiderable personal finance are involved.
The evidence worldwide is growing daily to make their position completely untenable but no doubt they will continue to hold their position until public opinion forces them to acknowledge the truth. When this happens Lisa Blakemore Brown and the others who have suffered such horrendous career damage for their pioneering stances, will be fully vindicated and those who have opposed and pilloried her will themselves be pilloried by the public and media.
