Dan Burton: “I did not know much about autism, except it was a disease of some kind that afflicted a lot of kids and some adults…”

“I did not know much about autism, except it was a disease of some kind that afflicted a lot of kids and some adults until it happened to my grandson. One day he was normal, starting to talk, walking, great kid. He got nine shots in one day. Nine shots in one day. Many of the shots he received had mercury in them. Most people do not know that when their kids are vaccinated, many of the shots they get have thimerosal in them. It is mercury and mercury is a toxic substance that hurts people, especially children, and it builds up in your system as you get more and more of it. Anyhow, within just a couple of days after getting nine shots in one day, the MMR shot which has been referred to by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Doyle) and many shots including mercury, he started flapping his arms, running around banging his head against the wall, he had obstructions in his bowel, he had chronic diarrhea, he walked around on his toes, and he has not been normal since. The interesting thing about this is that I found out after seeing this in my grandson, that not too long ago one in 10,000 children in this country were autistic. One in 10,000. Now it is between 1 in 250 and 1 in 500.”
