FYI Vaccines are legally classified as "unavoidably unsafe"--an
indication that they pose an inherent risk. Vaccines have not been
subjected to scientifically rigorous placebo controlled safety
trials before they have been approved for use in children.
The public debate over vaccine safety has intensified as a continuing
stream of news reports (latest examples
http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/view/765/9/) document vaccine-related
harm, raising serious doubts about the trustworthiness of reassurances
by public health officials who insist that vaccines "are safe and
effective."
This leaves Americans and Britons increasingly concerned about their
children and distrustful of a public policy corrupted by financial
conflicts of interest.
The US Center for Disease Control recommends that children--between
birth and age 18--be exposed to 70 doses of 16 different vaccines.
Children are being vaccinated with multiple combinations of vaccines
which have never been tested. Vaccine manufacturers are shielded
by law from product liability suits.
Not surprisingly, a public policy that mandates an extraordinary
number of "unavoidably unsafe" vaccines while shielding manufacturers
from liability, has catapulted the vaccine industry into a Big
Business.
Public health officials (on both sides of the Atlantic) have lost
the public trust because they have been in league with vaccine
manufacturers in denying that safety problems exist. If vaccines
posed no safety problems why has the US Vaccine court awarded more
than $2 billion dollars to settle 2,500 cases involving vaccine-related
debilitating injuries in children?
Parents are demanding the right to make informed choices about which
vaccines are both safe and necessary for the health of their children,
and which vaccines to avoid. Parents want to make choices based on
the evidence--such as evidence documented by the FDA's Vaccine
Adverse Effects database--not on the basis of public health officials'
pronouncements.
The issue is more explosive than ever, without any real resolution
in sight.
A timely handbook for citizens who want to educate themselves about
this controversial subject-- that affects everyone--has just been
released:
VACCINE EPIDEMIC: How Corporate Greed, Biased Science, and Coercive
Government Threaten Our Human Rights, Our Health, and Our Children.
Edited by Louise Kuo Habakus and Mary Holland. Skyhorse Publishing
On Sale: February 9, 2011 ISBN: Price: $24.95 www.vaccineepidemic.com
This book, and the people behind it, are NOT anti-vaccine--on the
contrary, they are pro-vaccine safety, pro-human rights, and
pro-scientific integrity.
The authors* of VACCINE EPIDEMIC, Habakus and Holland, and twenty
experts in ethics, law, science, medicine, business, and history,
put rhetoric and hyperbole aside as they examine the facts about
vaccine science and policy.
Vaccine Epidemic includes personal narratives of parents, children,
and soldiers who have suffered from vaccine injury.
The unifying plea of the book is for reform of a broken, unaccountable
system-- and a call for the restoration of true informed consent
to vaccination.
"There are unanswered questions about vaccine safety. We need studies
on vaccinated populations based on various schedules and doses as
well as individual patient susceptibilities that we are continuing
to learn about.
No one should be threatened by the pursuit of this knowledge. Vaccine
policy should be the subject of frank and open debate, with no
tolerance for bullying.There are no sides - only people concerned
for the well-being of our children."
Bernadine Healy, M.D., former director, National Institutes of
Health (NIH) and current health editor, U.S. News & World Report
