I sent this message to The Autism Autoimmunity Project today.

Subject: Can you recognise the truth?

I have just seen the interview between Greg Ciola and April Oakes in
Crusador.

It is almost farcical to see someone described as the Vice President
of an organisation interviewing the President of the same organisation
and pretending that it is just the editor of a publication doing his
job. The fact that nowhere in the interview is the relationship
mentioned is no less than I would have expected from an organisation
which bases its existence on lies.

The part where the President asks the Vice President "How can someone
contact you for more on this topic?" makes me want to withdraw the
word "farcical" from the previous paragraph.

The stated aims of your organisation are:

1) Fully define immune etiologies in autism;

2) Develop appropriate treatment options for individuals who have
autism through autoimmunity or immune system deficiency;

3) Develop mechanisms for prevention of immune-based autism.

Several people have tried to tell me that The Autism Autoimmunity
Project actually believes in these goals and is not just some anti-
vaccination liar outfit, but then I read in the pretend interview: "My
first child, Casi, was a victim of the vaccination program. I thought
I was being a good parent when I held her down while she was being
vaccinated. Today, one child in 150 is labeled "autistic" and there is
a great deal of evidence showing that vaccines play a role in the
cause. Casi died on June 13, 1999 and since her death, I've made the
commitment to warn the world that vaccines are both worthless and
dangerous. Everything we've been told about them is simply not true.
One of the most blatant lies is, "no shots, no school, no kidding".
What a joke! There are exemptions in 48 of the 50 States. Another very
glaring lie is that vaccines have eradicated certain diseases. Most of
these diseases were being eradicated BEFORE the introduction of
vaccinations".

I guess that you can no linger deny the fact that TAAP is not the
least bit interested in its stated goals, because if it was then it
would be looking for the real causes and cures for autism and not
chasing after fantasies like vaccine dangers.

The list of officials of and advisors to TAAP is also instructive, as
a more venal collection of child haters would be hard to find. At
least one of them, however, has found a guaranteed way of preventing
autism, but whether Alan Yurko's method of beating kids to death
before they become autistic is likely to be widely promoted is
something only you and your ilk can decide.

Whenever people ask me why I spend my time fighting the
anti-vaccination liars who so endanger our children, I simply quote
from Psalm 94:16 "Who will rise up against the evildoers?  Or who will
stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?"
