With vaccine hesitancy on the rise and skepticism towards regulatory agencies and big pharma growing, it’s time to revisit one of the most contentious potential cover-up cases of the past few decades and address the question: Did the CDC manipulate data to conceal a possible connection between MMR vaccines and autism?

The 2016 documentary “Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe” unfolds the story of CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) whistleblower Dr. William Thompson. He alleged that the CDC intentionally destroyed evidence suggesting a link between the MMR vaccine and autism in children.

The film has recently resurfaced on Rumble, gaining renewed attention, likely due to dwindling trust in both the CDC and vaccines as a whole following the COVID-19 crisis.

The documentary is produced by filmmaker Del Bigtree and scientist Andrew Wakefield. Wakefield, who authored a controversial 1998 study suggesting a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, has since been discredited as a “conspiracy theorist” and “anti-vaccine activist” by mainstream media and the scientific community.

So, what are Dr. William Thompson’s claims? Dr. Thompson alleges that he and his co-authors intentionally excluded data from a 2004 study indicating a significant correlation between the MMR vaccine and autism in African-American children.

In 2014, Dr. Thompson had a series of phone calls with Dr. Brian Hooker, who later analyzed the data and found a significant correlation between the MMR vaccine and autism in black children. This prompted Hooker to publish his findings, leading to media attention. Hooker had also secretly recorded his calls with Thompson, providing evidence of the CDC scientist’s guidance on accessing the data.

This prompted Thompson to go public, admitting on August 27, 2014, that he and his coauthors had omitted statistically significant information from their 2004 article published in Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at an increased risk of autism.

Thompson stressed his belief in the importance of vaccines while regretting the omission of relevant findings in a particular study for a specific subgroup.

In one phone call, Thompson indicated that the earlier children received the MMR shot, the higher the likelihood of developing autism. This data challenges the recommended age for MMR vaccination in the U.S., which is typically between 12 and 18 months.

In 2014, Thompson published the “CDC files,” which included documents allegedly excluded from the MMR vaccine study, along with internal communications between Thompson and CDC executives. In these documents, he outlined events from March 2001 to March 2004, revealing the decision to withhold data on race effects and the scheduling of a meeting to destroy related documents.

Thompson also felt compelled to report the excluded findings to his superiors and presented his results to members of the National Immunization Program and the CDC’s director, Julie Gerberding, who later placed him on administrative leave.

Thompson’s memo hints at a potential reason for the CDC’s concealment of data – the Congressional Autism Caucus, an initiative that sought to investigate the link between vaccines and autism.

While this article primarily focuses on Thompson’s allegations against the CDC, it’s important to note that the number of reported autism cases in the U.S. has dramatically increased in recent decades. Some attribute this rise to improved diagnostics and expanded criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder, while others suspect environmental factors, including vaccines.

There have been personal accounts of children developing autism symptoms following vaccinations, and court cases where families received compensation after their children developed autism. Yet, studies showing a link between vaccines and autism are often discredited or disregarded by health agencies and the scientific establishment.

Moreover, the use of aborted fetal cell lines in vaccines is another potential factor contributing to the increase in autism cases.

In conclusion, while we can’t definitively answer the initial question, the evidence suggests that the CDC may have manipulated data to conceal a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism. If Thompson’s claims are true, it raises questions about why the CDC retained him as an employee. However, it also underscores the challenges faced by scientists and researchers who question the mainstream narrative on vaccines and autism, even when they are generally pro-vaccine. To get to the truth, it’s essential that both David Thompson and CDC director Julie Gerberding be subpoenaed by the U.S. Congress to testify under oath. This would allow the public to uncover the entire truth about this matter.
