Someone finally did the math and sent the resulting information to Merck in
1991. They decided to sit on the information and not share it. It wasn't
until 1999, when Congress had ordered the FDA to look at mercury in
medicines, that they finally shared their findings. One small group at the
FDA finally converted the dosages to micrograms. They added it all up and
found out that kids were being slammed with ten, 20, 30, 100 times more
mercury than they were supposed to get, and that it was being injected
directly into their little bodies. I did some of the math the other day and
I couldn't believe my eyes. I actually had to double-check my figures
because I couldn't believe it. If you figure that at two months, a
reasonably average baby weighs about ten pounds. That child should not be
exposed to more than 0.5 micrograms of mercury per day. But on one day, in
that second month, a child could get as much as three shots containing
mercury totaling 62.5 micrograms. That's 125 times over the EPA
limit.....When all is said and done and everything comes out, if it's proven
conclusively that mercury in vaccines led to the autism epidemic in this
country, and that Merck had that memo in 1991, then they are perhaps partly
culpable. 1991 was even before Hepatitis B was added to the vaccination
schedule, which obviously added to the mercury load with which we were
injecting our children. It would appear that Merck kept its mouth shut and a
decade of children were exposed to this stuff.

Let me tell you a little bit about Simpsonwood. The Simpsonwood Conference
Center meeting happened in June of 2000. When the CDC had looked at the data
(right after they said the mercury should come out), they decided to look
further and see if maybe mercury was harmful. How's that for timing? They
had a guy working for them from Belgium, who was just here for a couple of
years, Thomas Verstraeten. They dumped the mercury issue in his lap and
said, "Here, look at the numbers." As it turns out, he was probably a pretty
honorable guy. I think he just wanted to do good science, and he was so far
removed from American politics and pharmaceutical company politics that he
could try. He was honest. He ran the numbers and his first run of the
numbers was just shocking. They showed an elevated rate of autism of 7.62
for kids who received more than 25 micrograms at one month of age compared
to kids who received none. He sent his findings out, and, not liking the
numbers, they had him re-run them. So he re-stratified the kids and broke
them down to various categories and groups and he managed to get the autism
rate down to 2.48. Anything over 2.0 in a court of law is considered
causation. Remember, he started with 7.62. He wrote an e-mail to his
colleagues, a very famous e-mail called, "It Just Won't Go Away." I almost
titled the book that, because the phrase comes up repeatedly.

When you put the findings and the e-mails together, the situation comes into
context, and it becomes very clear what they were saying, and that they were
extremely concerned. An increased autism risk of 2.48 was clearly
unacceptable, so they re-ran the numbers again, adding more kids in, and got
the autism rate down to 1.69. Then they took the new figure and they had
this meeting at Simpsonwood where they invited the FDA, the drug company
people, the pediatrics people, and the government people, and they had a
little powwow. They didn't invite anybody from the public, including
SafeMinds. There was talk of inviting SafeMinds but, in the end, that group
didn't get an invitation. At this meeting Verstraeten spent two days
presenting his findings. There was a discussion and there was a transcriber
there.

I sometimes wonder if these people knew that they were being recorded,
because when you read the minutes you just can't believe the atrocities:
they're shocking. I'm sure they didn't think that the minutes would ever see
the light of day. Thank God for the Freedom of Information Act; America is a
great country. Thank God we have a media and thank God we have parents like
the ones in SafeMinds who stayed on top of this. Otherwise we would never
have gotten this information. I'm not even an investigative reporter. These
people just dumped documents on me and I went through them. That was hard,
but it wasn't as hard as what they did, and I really admire them.
