*/What is going on here?/* Incidences of children’s brain disorders
appear to be nearly epidemic. One of every 150 children is afflicted
with some form of autism (One of every 90 boys). But why? Genetics play
a major role, we know, but, more analysts are looking at mercury-bearing
vaccines and environmental factors as coincident with massive increases
in all sorts of children’s ill health – asthma, ADHD and autism spectrum
disorders. Autism, Asperger’s, and related behavioral disorders are seen
in light of poor air and water quality, poverty, and immunization
vaccines. Not all victims, parents, advocates, researchers and public
health officials agree.
