years behind.” Dr. Thompson’s MMR paper was published in 2004. The Verstraeten and Madsen papers
were published in 2003. The
signals on the possible connection between vaccination and autism and other
adverse events like tics and
verbal IQ were not accurately reported by researchers.
Because the CDC researchers
omitted significant data, the
flow of research was diverted
away from vaccination. The
autism rate has increased
from 1 in 166 in 2004 to 1 in
68 in 2014.

r. Thompson says “I am part
of the problem,” and confides
that he has “great regret.”
8. D
r. Thompson predicts his
coauthors at the CDC will
try to undermine him when
news of his whistleblowing
gets out. Dr. Thompson predicts they will argue that he
is mentally ill. Fortunately,
Dr. Thompson kept his records from the study in question and he has turned those
records over to Congress.

1. D
r. Thompson acknowledges that he and his coauthors
changed the criteria of their
2004 MMR paper to alter the
data in a way, which eliminated a signal which indicated that, for African-American

boys, getting the MMR vaccine “on time” (before age
three) increased the risk of
an autism diagnosis.
2. Dr. Thompson reveals that
because there was no outside review panel on the 2004
MMR paper, there was no one
to stop them from changing
the criteria.
3. Dr. Thompson describes the
difficulty in getting significant findings about adverse
health outcomes caused by
vaccination published by
medical journals.

4. Dr. Thompson reveals that
indicted fugitive Dr. Poul
Thorsen, who is alleged to
have stolen more than $1
million from the CDC, is the
purported boyfriend of former CDC researcher Dr. Diana Schendel. Dr. Thorsen
has been under indictment
since 2011 for stealing more
than $1 million dollars for his
own personal gain from the
CDC by falsifying invoices.
According to the indictment,
he executed a scheme to defraud and divert this money
from approximately February
2004 to February 2010. The
missing $1 million CDC grant
money flowed through Aarhus University and Odense
University Hospital in Denmark. Apparently, Dr. Thorsen and Dr. Schendel have
been dating the entire time
Dr. Thorsen has been under
indictment. Dr. Schendel
worked at the CDC from 1993
to 2013. Thompson says she
spent the summer of 2003
“in Denmark money laundering with her boyfriend.” Dr.
Schendel relocated to Denmark after leaving the CDC
and currently is employed at
Aarhus University.
5. Dr. Thompson says those inside CDC want to include Dr.
Schendel in research opportunities going forward with
the SEED data. If Dr. Schendel
and Dr. Thorsen are actually a couple, one can hope
the CDC will not employ Dr.
Schendel while her partner is
still a fugitive indicted felon.
6. Dr. Thompson describes former CDC director Julie Gerberding taking a job as President of Merck Vaccines as
“dark.” Like many parents, Dr.
Thompson appears to share
the opinion that Dr. Gerberding’s choosing to work for a
corporation which she used
to regulate was shady, dirty,
or “dark.” The MMR vaccine
is manufactured by Merck.
Dr. Gerberding was the head
of the CDC in the early 2000
when the studies alleging the
safety of the MMR vaccine
were done. Just after the
required waiting period of a
year and a day of leaving the
CDC, Dr. Gerberding took her
new position at Merck. She
currently is Executive Vice
