Of course there's a lot of controversy over this issue, but there's much corruption of the database by vaccine makers, so how can we have confidence that the issues are being reviewed properly?
http://www.garynull.com/Documents/AutismFinnishStudy.htmThe Kielinen study included all children born between 1979 and 1994 in the northern Provinces of Oulu and Lapland (which represent 1/8 of the total population of Finland), and who were therefore 3-18 year old on December 31, 1996 when the Peltola study ended.
The authors personally reviewed records from all selected cases of autism, to determine that they fulfilled the present criteria of ICD-10 and DSM-IV. Their careful review revealed a cumulative incidence of autism in Northern Finland of 12.2/10,000 an alarming increase when compared to the previously reported incidence of 4.75/10,000 in 1991. (12)
More concerning is the fact that the increase in younger children, all born in the second half of the MMR campaign, was even more spectacular. The cumulative incidence in the 5-7 age group specifically was 20.7/10,000 or more than 1 in 500 children. It certainly is possible but rather unlikely that such an increase is due to better diagnosis. A label as ominous as autism is not imposed lightly in a country where each and every disability becomes immediately the sole responsibility of the State. In fact, as in the United States, these are probably conservative figures.
