Hold the CDC's vaccine division accountable for not protecting lives

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

We demand an investigation into the allegations of scientific fraud at the CDC. The researchers at the CDC found an increased risk of autism from MMR vaccine for all children —the risk was a lot more significant for African-American boys. Independent investigators state that "If the CDC scientist had shared what they knew about the association between vaccines and autism when it was discovered in 2001, over 100,000 children could have been spared from devastating neurological injury resulting in Autism."

Why is this important?

What's happening in Atlanta, Georgia is nothing short of an unethical cover-up—and it's personal for thousands of parents whose children currently have a complex neurological disorder called Autism.

In August 2014, Dr. Thompson issued a press release through his attorney stating, “I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the Journal of Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism.”

Nevertheless, when the CDC scientists published their results in Pediatrics in 2004, they omitted the damaging data, fraudulently declaring there was no risk of autism from the MMR vaccination.

Dr. Thompson has stated that as far back as 2001, scientists within the vaccine division of CDC have been aware of a connection between MMR and Autism in children. The effect was disproportionately observed among two groups of children: African-American boys and children who were born neuro-typical and who had met all milestones during the first year of life.

Dr. Thompson has requested to testify before Congress about corruption at CDC and has handed Congress over thousands of documents showing widespread fraud in CDC’s vaccine division.

U.S. Congressman Bill Posey of Florida requested information from the CDC regarding the study in the past, but the agency refused to hand anything over.

Posey released a public statement saying, “The CDC can’t be trusted regarding investigating vaccine safety.” He even went on to say that the “CDC should be investigated.”

We must call for an investigation first by getting Dr. William Thompson subpoenaed under oath.

The CDC must be held accountable for fraud and corruption, which calls into question the validity of the entire body of research that families, medical professionals and policy-makers rely on when making decisions about the health of children.

Once again, the CDC violated the public trust by concealing the link between vaccines and autism in all children.
