By now, most people are well aware that children and fetuses are most at risk of damage from this neurotoxin, as their brains are still developing. But while mercury is a potent neurotoxin many doctors and researchers believe that potent neuro-endocrine and immunological disruption is probably caused by the synergistic combination of all the different toxic ingredients in vaccines, and by the sheer number of vaccines which are now mandated.

The following immunization schedule shows that 35 + vaccines will be injected into a child before the first grade. (24) So how are our children faring under this increased vaccination schedule?

Cases of autism in the U.S. have increased by at least 1000 per cent since 1991, which is when vaccines for children doubled, and the number of immunizations has been consistently increasing. Just one in 2,500 children were diagnosed with autism before 1991, whereas one in 100 children now have the disease. (25) A recent study even puts the rate in New York as high as one child in 91! We are talking about an unprecedented epidemic of autism amongst children.

Medical studies sponsored by vaccine proponents invariably examine very narrow parameters, such as whether one ingredient in a vaccine, or one vaccine, is associated with autism, and no studies really examine the cumulative burden of this many vaccines. Meanwhile the Center for Disease Control explain away this massive increase as "likely due to factors such as increased recognition, a greater willingness ... to accept the diagnostic label, and better recording systems". (25) The idea that autism could increase ten-fold because prior to 1990 nobody noticed that they had autistic children is patently ludicrous. A recent California study has disproven this assertion.
