The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention withheld evidence that contaminated tap water caused lead poisoning in kids. The results of thousands of blood tests that measured lead contamination in children were missing from a CDC report, potentially skewing the findings.
From 2001 to 2004, Washington, D.C., experienced what may have been the worst lead contamination of city water on record. Tens of thousands of homes had sky-high levels of lead at the tap, and in the worst cases, tap water contained enough lead to be classified as hazardous waste. Not that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the government oversight agency for public health, was worried.
A 2004 CDC report found that water contamination "might have contributed a small increase in blood lead levels." The study has been influential. School officials in New York and Seattle have used the CDC report as justification for not aggressively responding to high levels of lead in their water, and other cities have cited the report to dispel concerns about lead in tap water.
But the results of thousands of blood tests that measured lead contamination in children were missing from the report, potentially skewing the findings and undermining public health. Further, the CDC discovered in 2007 that many young children living in D.C. homes with lead pipes were poisoned by drinking water and suffered ill effects. Parents wondered whether the water could have caused speech and balance problems, difficulty with learning, and hyperactivity. Yet the health agency did not publicize the new findings or alert public health authorities in D.C. or other federal agencies that regulate lead, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Housing and Urban Development.
Response from Boyd Haley:
The real problem is that the CDC is covering up the real issue of vaccine damage done by thimerosal. I routinely point out that early studies, done in the mid-1970s point out that mixing sub-toxic levels of mercury with sub-toxic levels of lead make a solution that is 100 times (at least) more toxic than either lead or mercury alone. Children exposed to lead in drinking water, without additional mercury exposure, may not have problems. However, mixing leaded drinking water with mercury exposure (e.g. vaccines) greatly enhances the chances of the child becoming toxic. This is just basic research which the CDC and pediatricians choose to ignore. What a shame.

They conceal everything, so what's new!!!
We have to be our own advocates, we have milk and meat full of antibiotics and growth hormone. Then we have been been told plastics are safe only to find out they are NOT!!! Baby bottles and many other plastic items we use everyday are made with a sex hormone additive that will break down when the item is heated in the dishwasher or microwave and then the chemical leeches into the food and drinks we put in them.
I am not anti- vaccine, but there is just no other explanation for so many cases of Autism! And now they have added varicella to the MMR!!! What kind of people can sit by and stay silent while so many babies and children are being damaged every day and for what??? Money, the root of all evil... :( At the same time the elderly are being inundated with Alzhiemer's, doctors have them all scared to death and lined up for flu vaccines in the fall every year.
Conspiracy, nah, the gov't wouldn't do that, WOULD THEY???
