Three Large Autism Organizations---Why Vaccines/Immunology and Autism are not
looked into
There are three large autism research organizations in the US (NAAR,
CAN and the MIND Institute) and their scientific boards and/or people
in charge of them are hostile to funding any immunology research
regarding autism and vaccines. The following reasons will be
self-evident with the information below.
1. NAAR
Eric London is a parent in charge of NAAR. Eric London wrote his
viewpoint on the issue of vaccines and autism and Laura Ruede
did a brillant essay on why he was wrong.

2. CAN
Portia Iversen is a parent in charge of CAN. She believes that her son,
Dov was affected adversely by the DPT vaccine but yet no funding of
immunology projects. The scientific board of CAN is made up of Hilary
Koprowski and Christopher Gillberg.

Hilary Koprowski was involved with the development of the Oral Polio
Vaccine.

Christopher Gillberg has articles that say there is no connection to
autism and the MMR vaccine. Alan Rees, a parent in Sweden, has reported
that Christopher Gillberg told a group of parents in Sewden that he
has not vaccinated his children.
