Studies of Vaccines and Autism

1) Thimerosol-containing vaccines are associated with autism prevalence and measles-containing vaccines associated with serious neurological disorders.
2) Findings suggest that U.S. male neonates vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine had 3 times the risk for autism diagnosis compared to boys not vaccinated
3) Rates of autism, speech disorders, mental retardation, infantile spasms, and thinking abnormalities were higher in children exposured to higher thimerosal levels.
4) Thimerosal exposure in infants and neurodevelopmental disorders
5) Meta-analysis:Thimerosal containing vaccines significantly increase the risk of neurological disorders.
6) Aluminum in vaccines appear to contribute to the rising prevalence of autism.
7) Mercury levels are higher in children with autism spectrum disorders.
8) Mercury levels are 1.9 times higher in subjects diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.
9)The measles-mumps-rubella vaccine causes autoantibodies to be formed against myelin protein
contributing to the pathogenesis of autism.
10) There is a positive association between autism prevalence and childhood vaccination uptake across the U.S. population.
11) There is an association between neurodevelopmental disorders and thimerosal containing vaccines.
12) There is evidence supporting an association between increasing organic-Hg exposure from
Thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines and the subsequent risk of an ASD
13) Vertically transmitted viral infection and polyviral infection with BK virus, JC virus and SV40
virus are significantly more frequent among autistic patients compared to controls.
14) This report systematically explains pathways possibly involved in thimerosal-induced autistic-like behavior.
15) This study raised serious concerns about adverse neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism in humans after thimerosal containing vaccines.
16)Autoimmune autistic disorder, a major subset of autism, is associated with autoantibody formation caused by viral (wild and vaccine-induced) infection.
17) Conjugate vaccines may predispose children to autism spectrum disorders.
18) Excitotoxicity is an important factor in autism.
19) In 2004 the risk of autism among African American children vaccinated before the age of 2 years was 340% that of those vaccinated later.
20) MMR vaccine may induce autoantibody formation against the gut (secretin or its receptor) and/or the brain, contributing to the pathogenesis of autism-spectrum disorder.
21) Neurological adverse events associated with vaccination.
22) The hepatitis B vaccine may induce autoimmune demyelinating disease through the molecular
mimicry that exists between the vaccine antigen, Epstein-Barr virus and human myelin.
23) The vaccine adjuvant thimerosal is cytotoxic to neuronal cells.
24) There is a biological basis for mercury-induced autism spectrum disorders and the sexual
dimorphism associated with disease prevalence.
25) This review will highlight the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, such as MDD, BD, schizophrenia, and autism.
26) Vaccines and flu shots containing mercury may contribute to severe neurological diseases and/or death in children.
27) Porphyrinuria in childhood autistic disorder: implications for environmental toxicity.
28) Neuroglial activation and neuroinflammation in the brain of patients with autism.
Blood levels of mercury are related to diagnosis of autism: a reanalysis of an important data set

30) Aluminum adjuvant linked to Gulf War illness induces motor neuron death in mice.

31)  A case series of children with apparent mercury toxic encephalopathies manifesting with clinical symptoms of regressive autistic disorders.
