Angry Parents Boo CDC

Bernard Rimland, PhD, Director of the Autism Research Institute, reported that several speakers representing the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) were booed off the stage on May 28, 2004 at the Autism One Conference in Chicago. The parents were protesting the highly biased Institute of Medicine report, funded and directed by the CDC, which insists that the mercury content of childhood vaccines has not been linked with skyrocketing rates of autism. Security police escorted the CDC representatives out of the hall. CBS News was present and taped the unusual events, though it is uncertain whether it received any mainstream coverage.
