Vaccines and autism: a new scientific review
Ratajczak also looks at a factor that hasn't been widely discussed: human DNA
contained in vaccines. That's right, human DNA. Ratajczak reports that about the
same time vaccine makers took most thimerosal out of most vaccines (with the
exception of flu shots which still widely contain thimerosal), they began making
some vaccines using human tissue. Ratajczak says human tissue is currently used
in 23 vaccines. She discusses the increase in autism incidences corresponding
with the introduction of human DNA to MMR vaccine, and suggests the two could be
linked. Ratajczak also says an additional increased spike in autism occurred in
1995 when chicken pox vaccine was grown in human fetal tissue.
Why could human DNA potentially
cause brain damage? The way Ratajczak explained it to me: "Because it's human
DNA and recipients are humans, there's homologous recombinaltion tiniker. That
DNA is incorporated into the host DNA. Now it's changed, altered self and body
kills it. Where is this most expressed? The neurons of the brain. Now you have
body killing the brain cells and it's an ongoing inflammation. It doesn't stop,
it continues through the life of that individual."
Dr. Strom said he was unaware that
human DNA was contained in vaccines but told us, "It does not matter...Even if
human DNA were then found in vaccines, it does not mean that they cause autism."
Ratajczak agrees that nobody has proven DNA causes autism; but argues nobody has
shown the opposite, and scientifically, the case is still open.
A number of independent scientists
have said they've been subjected to orchestrated campaigns to discredit them
when their research exposed vaccine safety issues, especially if it veered into
the topic of autism. We asked Ratajczak how she came to research the
controversial topic. She told us that for years while working in the
pharmaceutical industry, she was restricted as to what she was allowed to
publish. "I'm retired now," she told CBS News. "I can write what I want."
