Vaccine casualties

What the International Association of Biological Standards says about vaccines in its manual is this; “A relatively small number of damaged persons, due to inoculation, is first considered the lesser of two evils.” So, we have an admission of damaged persons, who Waxman says have been injured in the line of public health, and about who the International Association of Biological Standards says; “The subject affected by an inoculation has, without doubt, made a special sacrifice in the interest of the general public.”

As Dr. Black says, "If I am a parent whose child has been injured in the line of public health, my individual child may be dead. As far as the government is concerned, that’s just a risk I have to take. My child must be willing to die in the service of the general public." Thus Dr. Black brings up a troubling assumption behind vaccination programs, that it is right for a few children to be sacrificed for the good of many. The questions that of course arise are: What if a child’s parents don’t agree with that? What if a child doesn’t?  We’re looking at a philosophical assumption that has never been dealt with in an open way in this country, and maybe it’s time for some public discussion of the issue."

Scientists who are concerned with vaccinations tend to leave out of consideration the people in the middle. Say 1 in 100,000 children is very seriously affected; they acquire Cerebral Palsy or mental retardation or maybe they die, what about the ones in the middle?

There’s a whole spectrum of varying reactions to vaccinations. It is a well documented but poorly understood fact that among American children today, a shocking 31% have a chronic health problem, 18% of children require special healthcare or educational services and 6.7% of children have a significant disability due to a chronic physical or mental condition.  Respiratory allergies, asthma and learning disabilities are the most common of these. Children in Europe, Australia and Japan are also showing this trend.

 Vaccines are legally mandated in all fifty states. Pharmaceutical companies have a captive market. Yet these companies are immune from accountability for the consequences of their products. Isn’t there something wrong when the government assumes liability for a private entity? Is this capitalism or socialism? No liability, a made market, a stockholder’s dream!

The Money Trail

Text Box:  The following is an excerpt from the Committee on Government reform given by Chairman Dan Burton. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Center for disease Control (CDC) are in charge of vaccine policies that affect every child. This committee is taking a hard look at whether or not the pharmaceutical industry has too much influence over these committees. Here is what they learned.

bullet

      Members including the Chair of the FDA and the CDC have stock holdings in drug companies that make vaccines.

bullet

      Individuals on both advisory committees own patents for vaccines.

bullet

      The CDC grants conflict of interest waivers to every member in the advisory committee a year at a time.

bullet

      The CDC has no public members - no parents have a vote whether or not a vaccine belongs in the childhood immunization schedule.

bullet

      Members accept salaries and benefits, as employees of the drug companies and some members have been there as long as 16 years.
