CDC Autism Whistleblower

[Charliebox]

I have finally found a 'mainstream' publication reporting on the CDC Whistleblower.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cdc-epidemiologist-whistleblower-confirms-review-141700853.html

I find this article is relevant and important to post because, as sad as it is, some people only listen to the mainstream.

Not only that, but there is great additional information about the past CDC director (who ignored the whistleblower at the time) is now the president of Merck's vaccine division.

Also, I found this part interesting:

In addition, former CDC vaccine/autism researcher, Poul Thorsen, who co-authored several studies widely cited as "proof" there is no link between vaccines and autism, has been indicted and charged with 13 counts of wire fraud and nine counts of money laundering awarded to the CDC for autism related research. Thorson is now a fugitive on the Inspector General's most wanted list.

I actually want to give cheers to yahoo for covering this story and actually doing it in an unbiased manner. The only other 'mainstream' publication I found covering it was ABC, but the whole point of their article was to pooh pooh the story.

Not to be a wet blanket, but Yahoo didn't really "cover" the story. They just reposted the article that originally appeared at MarketWatch, which wasn't an article at all but rather a press release from the Focus Autism Foundation. It's obviously good that Yahoo posted this at all, but they didn't really put any resources into it, FWIW
