CNN has reached out to the CDC related to whistleblower claims ...

Friday, I posted about Andrew Wakefield's Autism Media Channel being offline (it's still AWOL) and I also linked to a CNN iReport on the CDC Whistleblower.  Since then CNN has taken that report down for whatever reason and since put it back up. It now shows "flagged as inappropriate".  To say that following WTF is going on with this story is difficult, would be an understatement.

"CNN PRODUCER NOTE     CNN iReport is the network’s user-generated news community. This story was initially pulled for further review after it was flagged by the community. CNN has reached out to the CDC for comment and is working to confirm the claims in this iReport."William W. Thompson, PhD, Senior Scientist with the CDC has stepped forward and admitted the 2004 paper entitled "Age at first measles-mumps-rubella vaccination in children with autism and school-matched control subjects: a population-based study in metropolitan Atlanta," which has been used repeatedly by the CDC to deny the MMR-autism connection, was a fraud.

Dr. Thompson has admitted the 340% increase in boys receiving the MMR vaccine "on time," as opposed to delayed, was buried by himself, Dr. DeStefano, Dr. Bhasin, Dr. Yeargin-Allsopp, and Dr. Boyle. 

Dr. Thompson first called and spoke with Dr. Brian Hooker, who then revealed the information to Dr. Andrew Wakefield and the Autism Media Channel. 

The video containing Dr. Thompson's recorded conversation can be found here, beginning at the 2 minute, 45 second mark.

Update:  Autism Media Channel confirmed crash site was due to exceeding bandwith; no other reason.

What happened to Andrew Wakefield's Autism Media Channel site today? Offline

Andrew Wakefield's Autism Media Channel mysteriously vanished from the web today.  Given recent revelations in a video on the site concerning the name of the CDC whistle-blower, this is either very suspicious or just just a really bad time for a technical problem.  Maybe he just forgot to pay the bill.

In any case, the DNS records for the Autism Media Channel, look to me missing in action and the site is classified as Status=clientHold.

clientHold: The domain is suspended, often for legal or compliance reasons. The domains is removed from the zone files and has no authoritative name servers. Therefore it stops functioning.

Academic Integrity Fund (Andrew Wakefield) added to The Autism Retort

The Academic Integrity Fund has been added to The Autism Retort.

Doctors working in the public interest are under attack like never before; they must be protected. You – and only you – must decide what kind of doctors you want for your family. Increasingly, what should be your decision is being made by corporate profiteers and bureaucrats. The surest way to see justice for these doctors and to ensure that your family’s rights are protected is to get their accusers before a jury. The jury represents the voice of the people of the United States of America – those who stand by the founding principles of this great country. Now is the time to stand up and be counted. Now is the time to fight for the professional integrity of those who champion your cause.
