Resignation from the British Psychological Society

For readers of this blog, there may have been some interest in matters concerning myself and the British Psychological Society. After many years of what I consider to be harrassment, I finally won an Appeal against a Decision of two members of a Panel of three at the BPS and within two days the BPS attempted to bring another complaint having threatened that they would do that last year if I won against them.

I had proof that the complainant had already withdrawn the complaint when the BPS brought it to my attention, so I brought that to their attention. They convened a meeting and today I have been told the case is closed and there is no evidence of professional misconduct.

I have been prevented from resigning from this charitable organisation as they insisted on pursuing vexatious complaints fully knowing that.

Today March 11th 2008 I have finally resigned after 24 years. The organisation is not fit for purpose and is not made accountable when it makes grave errors and fails to protect the public.

CNN International - Vaccines and Autism

This story based on the Poling case, is being discussed on CNN today

First Autism vaccine link - How Hannah made history

REAL Science 2008 Anderson, Hooker and Herbert paper on autism

Leaves one thinking - if the vaccines could themselves damage the mitochondria - then were they also responsible for the mitochondria condition in the first place in the Poling child?

Thimerosal is implicated in the Poling case and Thimerosal is known to interfere with our DNA.

Its been in vaccines since 1930 - so how many of us since then have been damaged, then passed it on genetically to some of our children to have it compounded by their own vaccines and made much worse when multiple vaccines came in, delivered ever earlier to vulnerable babies with immature immune systems?

This is a truly terrible tapestry of damage. A truly terrible chapter in our history and an international scandal.

Press conference with Poling family on Autism Vaccine case this morning 11.30 on steps of Atlanta Federal Court

LANDMARK FEDERAL COURT CONCESSION THAT LOCAL CHILD FROM ATLANTA
DEVELOPED AUTISM FROM VACCINES


CHILD JOINS PARENTS IN PRESS CONFERENCE ABOUT THIS HISTORIC RESULT AT
ATLANTA FEDERAL COURT HOUSE TOMORROW


LOCAL COUPLE FROM ATLANTA WILL JOIN WITH THEIR 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER,
HANNAH, IN A PRESS CONFERENCE DISCUSSING THEIR DAUGHTER'S DEVELOPMENT OF
AUTISM AS A RESULT OF VACCINES. THIS LANDMARK CASE ALLEGED THAT AUTISM
WAS CAUSED BY CHILDHOOD VACCINES AND WAS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD AS A TEST
CASE BEFORE THE CONCESSION WAS MADE.

THE PRESS CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD TOMORROW, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2008 AT
11:30 AM ON THE STEPS OF U.S. FEDERAL COURTHOUSE AT 75 SPRING STREET IN
ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL HAVE ESTIMATED THAT 1 IN 166 CHILDREN
HAVE AUTISM, AND MANY HAVE LINKED THE AUTISM EPIDEMIC IN THIS COUNTRY TO
THE MERCURY BASED PRESERVATIVE USED IN CHILDHOOD VACCINES.

Atlanta newspaper today on conceded autism vaccine case

Note that the father of the child with autism is a Neurologist. I think he may have known what he was looking at when he witnessed his own daughter regressing after receiving a cocktail of vaccines.

Yet specialists such as Neurologists and Psychologists such as myself who have noted these changes, in accordance with our professional duty,have been routinely trampled over, mocked and vilified in favour of epidemiologists with conflicts of interest, who do not have the clinical skills nor the brief to determine whether individual cases occur.

Eighteen real science studies on the damage done by Thimerosal

The public has been led to believe that only large scale statistical studies can answer questions about whether there are any individual clinical adverse reactions.

This of course not the case.

The public needs to be aware of the massive conflicts of interest in those large studies and to use their common sense about what may have caused a reaction.

When epidemiological studies are cited, results from biological studies are routinely ignored, or even prevented given funding issues.

Below are a number of studies which look very appropriately, at what is happening to organisms when challenged with the mercury containing Thimerosal.

Transcript of David Kirby on Thimerosal in vaccines and Autism on Imus in the morning today

IMUS: Good morning Mr. Kirby. How are you?
DAVID: I'm good. It's been exactly 3 years ago when you and Deidre really started bringing this to the people's attention. Boy, talk about "Ground Hog Day". It just seems like we're beating the same issues all over again, without getting anywhere.
IMUS. I thought it was kind of amusing to me, after Senator McCain said what he said in Texas, which I'll ask you about in a second....to see my name in a couple of columns blaming me for influencing him. When I've never said anything of the kind. I've got my own suspicions, but, any way, what exactly did Sen. McCain say now?
DAVID: Sen. McCain said, after being asked a question in Texas by a woman referring to the big court case, which was just conceded, in which the government said that a girl's vaccine injury led to and resulted in an ultimate diagnosis of autism. She asked him about it and he, to just about everyone's surprise, said he believed there was strong evidence to implicate the vaccine ingredient called thimerosal, in the rise in the numbers of cases. He said the rise of cases is indisputable, meaning it's not just better diagnosis, we have more autism in America today then we had 10 or 15 years ago. He's trying to figure out what is going on. He recognizes there is a national emergency. It may not be the mercury in the vaccines, it may not be the vaccines at all, but, until we get to the bottom of this it's refreshing, to say the least, to hear a politician out their talking about what a lot of other people are talking about. At some point, if you want to get into some of the studies that are coming out, McCain, who's been blasted in the last 24 hours, taking more "incoming" that I've received in 5 years in just 24 hours. He is referring to actual studies that have been published by very top flight scientists, and, he has a very good medical and science staff. He would not have made this statement flippantly, and, it didn't come out of nowhere.I
IMUS: The next question: There is scientific evidence out there suggesting that there is a definitive link?
DAVID: There's lots of science evidence, when taken together might suggest a link. Or might suggest a mechanism. My position has always been that this has not been proven one way or the other. Yes, there is evidence to refute, there is more evidence everyday to support this theory. People who oppose it, think this is over, and, I think it would serve them well to take a minute or two, go back to Pubmed, look at the studies that did not appear in the NY Times or on ABC news. We get filtered information in this country, and, I frankly don't blame people for thinking that this is bunk, baloney, proven over and done with. Anyone who brings it up is crazy....because they have not been given access to the studies. The American people have not been given all the information they need. They need to go out and find it. It's there, look at the brain studies that people from Harvard and Johns Hopkins. They are presenting with oxidative stress, heavy metals and mercury in the brain. Look at the study in Child Neurology that went back and looked at a previous study...lo and behold...they found that children with autism do have higher levels of mercury in their blood. A mistake was made in the original calculations and some mitrochrondrial studies have just come out....continue to come out....which are very germane to this court case. It all starts to fall into place, and it is hard science. It is peer reviewed. People are willfully ignoring it, some of them, they know its out there and they won't look at it. Most of the people online who are saying that John McCain is crazy, Don Imus is crazy, David Kirby is crazy....have not bothered to read these studies. It's frustrating because you want to have a scientific discussion but you are talking to people who only have half the picture.IMUS: Talking with David Kirby here on the Imus program, in an effort to get the audience to kill themselves. The vaccine manufacturers claim they took thimerosal out of the vaccines when? Not the flu vaccines but most vaccines.
DAVID: The media reports that all mercury came out of all shots in 2001. Nothing could be further from the truth.
IMUS: What is the truth?
DAVID: Well, we don't know and the government won't tell us.
IMUS: Well, why don't the vaccine manufacturers tell us?
DAVID: They don't have to.
DAVID: They stopped making mercury containing vaccines right around the end of 2001. Now, this stuff goes and gets shipped into warehouses. Then it gets into the pipeline, that's when the expiration date is placed on it, the day it leaves the warehouse. They stocked up on mercury containing vaccines as they were transiting into the mercury free formula. For those years, 2000, 2001, 2002, 1003 and I'm quite certain into 2004, a lot of this stuff was still sitting on shelves. In the meantime, we started giving the flu shot to pregnant women and infant children, which still contains the full amount of mercury. We never hit zero, and now we're back up. If a women who gets the flu shot is pregnant, the fetus will be exposed to that. Then the child gets another flu shot at 6 months, 7 months and 18 months. With all the residual mercury in some of the other shots, the child is getting about 85 micrograms of mercury, total exposure. Which is, yes, much less than it used to be, but, we're not at zero. And again, the mitrochrondial disease, at least for a subset of these kids, given that they have that disease, they might be sensitive to any amount of mercury, or any toxin that could set them over the edge.
IMUS: Then, in these vaccines, whether the mercury is used as a preservative or not, a trace amount of mercury is used in all vaccines.
DAVID: That's correct. About 1/2 micrograms in most of the shots these kids are getting. That's very, very little, in and of itself. The point is, if you do have some type of allergic problem with this or you do have an inability to secret it, it will accumulate in your body. I think the evidence is pointing now, beyond just mercury, beyond just thimerosal. I believe there are several things in our environment that can trigger several different types of conditions and predisposition's that ultimately manifest in symptoms we diagnose as autism. Whether it truly is classic autism or not, you don't really care.
IMUS: What are they?
DAVID: It may be genetics, because of mitrochrondial health, in other words, cellular energy, because of a pre-exisitng autoimmune condition, allergic condition. Given any set of those conditions, and then getting any set of triggers, mercury in vaccines, the number and type of vaccine we're giving now, pollution in the air, pesticides, flame retardants or even just if a kid is set up for regression.....whatever gets there first, I'm talking hypothetically, but, whatever gets there first may set off the regression. In most cases in this country, that insult came in the form of a vaccine.
IMUS: You know what I never understood? They warn people particularly pregnant women, not to eat fish because of the extraordinary high levels of mercury they found in fish. In fact, the NY Times did a study, went around to sushi joints and they found an insane level of mercury in these various fish. It's my understanding the form of mercury in fish is not as lethal as the form of mercury in vaccines. So, what has never made sense to me, if they don't want you to eat a less lethal form of mercury in fish, they think it's okay or fine to inject any amount of mercury into the bloodstream of an infant. Just on a common sense level, sounds to me INSANE!
DAVID: Some people think it is. It's certainly contradictory, that the NY Times reported the ultra high levels of mercury in Tuna, which means environmental levels in general are going up. They reported New Jersey is trying to implement mandatory flu vaccines for kids going to school. Everyone should go online right now and look up the flu vaccine. Look up the product insert. It will say, and don't quote me exactly, something like "this product has not been studied in pregnant women. The reproductive effects are unknown. The impact on the fetus is unknown. this product is not indicated for pregnant women unless medically necessary".
IMUS: Now you are not saying, I know I'm not saying, that there is a definitive, drop dead link between autism and thimerosal in vaccines. What you're saying and what I'm saying is, at some point, we need to all reach a definitive scientific determination if, in fact that is the case. Is that what you're saying?
DAVID. Absolutely.
IMUS: Okay, so why do people characterize you and others, and me, though I'm less to the story than anyone else, my wife is a big part of the story and so are you....why are you all characterized as being crazy when you are not saying what they say you are saying?
DAVID: If you sat down and read only the studies the people seem to be reading...and you ignore the studies that people like me and Diedre read, you would come to the same conclusion....David Kirby is crazy, what is he talking about? People need to do their own homework. Listen, I think the biggest problem here is we're all operating in a vacuum. This court case that was just conceded is a confidential document. The government does not think we should be able to see it.
IMUS: Now, you're talking about the vaccine court?
DAVID: I'm talking about the vaccine court. Now the family that just won this settlement can go back to court and ask permission of the government to talk about what happened to their child.
IMUS; What did the vaccine court determine?
DAVID: They determined this child have an underlying microchrondrial disorder, which produces low cellular energy and was aggravated by her vaccines. She got 9 vaccines in 1 day. 5 shots....9 vaccines. Within months she regressed into autism. In fact, she was diagnosed with full-blown autism.
IMUS: Why haven't we read about that in the NY Times or seen it on NBC nightly news?DAVID: Well, the NY Times is not particularly interested in this story. There are reporters out there this week trying to cover it, but, until the family gets permission from government to speak, I'm not sure how much coverage it actually is going to get. You know, I love being on your show, but, I wish instead of me being here this morning, you have somebody from the HHS. Because what we basically have over there is a wall of silence. Why is it not okay to talk about this? Why is this confidential? Exactly whose interests are being protected if the family says it's perfectly okay to talk about this....and...the family wants to talk about it? Why is the government saying we can't talk about it? Those rules are in place to protect the privacy of the family, which has already been waived.
IMUS: We're out of time .....thank you Mr. Kirby;

Saturday 1 March 2008

FINALLY - a politician with integrity speaks out on Mercury in vaccines. John McCain is the first Presidential candidate to publicly raise the issue.

In the run up to the US Presidential election there is inevitably a tension between honestly addressing controversial issues and remaining silent about them. Which way should they turn? Which way would get them the votes/the brickbats?

David Kirby forewarns John McCain what is likely to happen now that he has publicly mentioned the extraordinary rise of autism (and indeed related disorders) and, shock horror, even mentioned the association with the 49.6% Mercury containing preservative Thimerosal, in vaccines since 1930, introduced by Eli Lilly.

On the other hand, a US election is looming and intelligent voters cannot miss the devastating facts that our population is sicker than ever, more dangerous than ever, that we are riddled with autism and related disorders and that safety has taken second place to profit with the crucial boundaries between big corporations and Governments long gone.

If the voting public is made aware that something could have been interfering with our neurological and immune system development since 1930 and that something could have also altered our DNA, but all this has been hidden and spun out, then the brave presidential candidate in the US or prime minister candidate in the UK who dares to expose the issues will be the ultimate winner.

Its about time the biggest medical and social scandal in our history is getting talked about on a world stage.
