Several high-profile whistleblowers have alleged fraud and data manipulation within the vaccine industry and government agencies. Dr. William Thompson of the CDC and Dr. Andrew Zimmerman, a former leading expert witness for the government, have both provided testimony suggesting links between vaccines and regressive autism in specific sub-populations. Zimmerman was reportedly dismissed by the Department of Justice after he informed them that vaccines could cause autism in children with pre-existing mitochondrial disorders.

John Rappaport details the story of William Thompson, a CDC scientist who confessed to omitting data in a 2004 study regarding the MMR vaccine and autism. Thompson claimed that he and his co-authors cooked the data to hide a significant link between the vaccine and autism in certain populations. Rappaport highlights the total media blackout on this admission of internal research fraud at the CDC.
