Enter Dr. Paul Thomas, an outspoken pediatrician from Portland, OR...

I was struck by this recent blog post that mentioned Dr. Thomas and his practice:

“Dr. Paul Thomas, a Portland-based pediatrician... Based on an Autism rate of 1 in 68, 22 children in this group should have Autism. He claims there are zero cases of Autism... Shouldn’t Oregon investigate the veracity of his claim?”

<>

Dr. Thomas claims he has shared his desire to publish data on this 1,500 children population and has been unable to receive IRB approval.

Mumper (published in peer reviewed journal): ZERO rather than 6
THOMAS ("unable to obtain IRB approval&quot : ZERO rather than 22

When it's good information, crowdsourcing ROCKS! Additional fine-tuning here.

From comments at link:

Rachel,

Actually, you have been misled.

Here is the European List of Countries, and their recommended vaccinations: http://www.euvac.net/graphics/euvac/vaccination/vaccination.html

Eleven prominent countries either omit entirely, or specifically cite the HepB vaccine only for mothers testing to have active HepB infection; these 11 countries are: Sweden, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK.

Most of the rest of the EU countries include the HepB vaccine as part of a 5-part (hexavalent) shot and given starting at 2 months. Some indeed recommend at birth. HOWEVER, the constituents/excipients in the European vaccines may also be less toxic than U.S. vaccines (I do not know).

At any rate, very few give the HepB vaccine at birth as is done here in the U.S.

In this case...

From the outside, all signs seemed to point to heat causing the infant's death.

But Dr. Clifford Nelson of the state Medical Examiner's Office ruled the case a "sudden unexplained infant death." He said he couldn't definitively say how Jillian died.

Nelson told The Oregonian that he considered information gathered from the scene, statements from the parents, the child's medical history and his own physical examination of the baby. He saw no signs of an undiagnosed disease in the girl or reaction to shots she received at her check-up. There was nothing odd in toxicology tests.

Nelson noted that the girl's parents had told police when they last fed their daughter. Based on their statements and examining her digestive system, Nelson said he estimated the infant died during the first hour she spent inside the car. He then compared that finding to how quickly the temperature in the car rose.

He concluded that she likely died before the car's temperature became deadly.

...During the past 10 years, between 20 and 30 infants have died suddenly each year with no signs of trauma or illness, according to data from the Oregon Health Authority.

"They are probably the most intellectually challenging cases that we get," Nelson said.
