Researcher in debate on vaccines and autism accused of fraud.

Thorsen, Danish scientist, had already been cited by not academic conduct by the University of Aarhus (see) in Denmark, and is now charged for embezzlement of one million dollars allocated for Autism Research (see) awarded by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). For several years, Thorsen was involved in influential studies which defended the controversial use of thimerosal as a preservative (around 50% of mercury by weight) for some vaccines.

The thimerosal has been linked to autism (see) and other neurological diseases (see) in numerous studies. Dr. Paul g. King, Scientific Advisor to eat, explains: “We need to consider the increasing amount of toxicity studies relating to the mercury of the thimerosal with severe neurological deficits, such as Autism, as well as the immune system and mitochondrial damage.” “These trials have demonstrated that the level of thimerosal in vaccines is not safe (see).”

As stated United States, Sally Quillian Yates, lawyer (see), “the granting of money for research into this disease is a valuable asset.” “When research funds steal not only lose money, but also the opportunity to better understand and be able to cure debilitating diseases”.

According to eat, United States health agencies have relied on these now questionable Danish studies to sanction the use of the thimerosal. Eat has registered its concerns over Thorsen and its influence in these studies in a revolutionary letter (see) sent to Daniel r. Levinson, inspector general of the Department of health and human services, September 15, 2010. An international community of researchers and lawyers also signed the letter to eat.

Eat now, calls to carry out an independent investigation into the scientific validity of all Danish studies on the subject made autismo-vacunas during the mandate of Thorsen and possible improper involvement of employees in the CDC. In addition, eat requested the withdrawal of the 2004 report of report Institute of Medicine (IOM), which rejected the causal link between the thimerosal and autism, which is based in the Danish studies involving Thorsen.

Eat aims to restore public vaccination programmes confidence to prohibit the use of compounds and other medications based on mercury. Despite the efforts of eat, United States still granting license and recommending vaccines with thimerosal preserved for use in United States and the rest of the world. The World Health Organization, with the strong support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Bill Gates, (see), is still distributing vaccines preserved with thimerosal in developing countries.

Rev. Lisa k. Sykes, President of eat, hoped that the recent charges against Thorsen will serve as a turning point in the debate about the thimerosal: “in addition to the charges against Dr. Thorsen, the United Nations being a draft of a Treaty (see) to reduce the exposure to mercury, and the United States food and Drug Administration is rethinking the use of mercury (see)” in the dental work. “I must say that it has been the time to reassess the legality and validity, to continue injecting preserved vaccines with thimerosal in any human being”.
