Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated Populations To Be Researched Under Newly I

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

There's a newly introduced bill to have studies on vaccinated vs. unvaccinated populations. If interested in this could you please send your representatives a message by going here: New Vaccine Research Bill

 

Thanks,

Statement of Rep. Dave Weldon, M.D. (Fl-15)

July 26, 2006

 

Federal agencies charged with overseeing vaccine safety research have

failed. They have failed to provide sufficient resources for vaccine

safety research. They have failed to fund extramural research. And,

they have failed to free themselves from conflicts of interest that

serve to undermine public confidence in the safety of vaccines.

 

The American public deserves better and increasingly parents and the

public at large are demanding better.

 

I'm a physician. I understand the importance of immunizations in

protection children and the public at large from infectious disease.

As a society we benefit from vaccines and as such it is important that

we guard carefully vaccine safety research to ensure its objectivity.

 

When I first began working on this issue about seven years ago, I was

shocked at the dearth of resources dedicated to vaccine safety

research. The federal government dedicates far more resources to

promoting the immunizations than in safety evaluations. Most vaccine

safety resources are dedicated to considering short-term, or acute

adverse reactions, while very few resources are dedicated to

considering potential longer-term or chronic adverse reactions.

 

When I first tasked my staff with investigating this issue we got a

lot of confused responses from federal agencies. The FDA told us to

check in with the CDC, saying CDC did most of the vaccine safety

research. The CDC referred us over to the NIH. Then, the NIH

referred us back to the CDC. It was apparent to me that there is

little coordination and very few resources dedicated to vaccine safety

research.

 

Ironically, 20 years ago Congress established The National Vaccine

Program Office (NVPO) and charged NVPO with coordinating vaccine

safety research. Along with safety, however, NVPO was charged with

coordinating vaccine development, vaccine promotion and vaccine supply

- the very conflicts that plague the CDC, and to some extent the NIH.

It is no wonder that vaccine safety has been on the back burner at

NVPO for all of these years - NVPO has conflicting missions and higher

priorities. NVPO is now swamped with Avian Flu preparedness and is

not an appropriate place for this.

 

I agree with the prestigious journal Nature when in January of this

year stated: "there is a strong case for a well-resourced independent

agency that commends the trust of both the government and the public."

That is why we are here today.

 

Several issues relating to vaccine safety have persisted for years.

The response from public health agencies has been largely defensive

from the outset and the studies plagued by conflicts of interest.

Legitimate questions persist regarding the possible association

between the mercury-based preservative, thimerosal, and the childhood

epidemic of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism.

There are unresolved questions about the MMR vaccine that arose in

1998 that should be fully investigated. Gardasil, the HPV vaccine was

just recommended by the CDC. Vaccine manufactures have dozens of new

vaccines in the pipeline. The failure of public health officials to

make this a priority and to free this research from conflicts of

interest will only serve to further erode public confidence at a time

when we should be working to build public confidence. It is

incumbent upon us to fully investigate these issues in an independent

manner.

 

The Senate is turning its attention to FDA reform. Unfortunately, the

legislation moving through the Senate HELP Committee is deafeningly

silent when it comes to improving vaccine safety research. This is

particularly ironic given that federal and state governments do not

mandate drugs in order to enter schools or obtain employment, yet, as

a society we do impose such mandates with regard to vaccination. This

is all the more reason to be particularly mindful of issues related to

vaccine safety.

 

In his book on the subject of immunizations, Dr. Graham Wilson, the

former Director of the Public Health and Laboratory Service for

England and Wales, warned the public health community of the need to

remain ever vigilant when it comes to vaccine safety. In 1967 he warned:

 

"Over confidence must at all costs be avoided… It is for us, and for

those who come after us, to see that the sword which vaccines and

antisera have put into our hands is never allowed to tarnish through

over-confidence, negligence, carelessness, or want of foresight on our

part."

 

Federal agencies in the U.S. charged with carrying out vaccine safety

have failed to adequately heed this warning. If we continue down the

current path, confidence in vaccines will continue to erode and this

"sword" against disease will be tarnished.

 

Today, we rarely come face to face with vaccine preventable disease,

but we are at risk of seeing vaccine preventable diseases rear their

ugly head. Why? Because, we are confronted with the side effects of

vaccines, adverse reactions and perceived adverse reactions - many of

them mild, but some of them severe. This is the new and increasing

challenge that we face in fighting disease.

 

There are two approaches we can take in the face of this new challenge.

 

First we can downplay the existence of adverse reactions or otherwise

pretend they do not exist all-the-while such questions persists

unanswered and continue to fester. Such approaches have failed to

work in the past and over the long-run they can do irreparable harm to

public confidence in vaccines, breaking the trust with the public and

leading to the rise of infectious disease.

 

Conversely, we can take such hypotheses and evaluate them in an

independent and objective manner. That is what we are proposing here

today. Our bill corrects past mistakes. Presently, vaccine safety

research is an in-house function conducted predominantly by the CDC -

the very agency that makes vaccine recommendations and promotes their

uptake. This should not be.

 

We have seen fit to eliminate such conflicts across federal agencies.

 

o At the National Institutes of Health we recognized the inherent

conflicts of interest and created the Office of Human Subjects

Protection as a separate office within HHS.

 

o When we established the Superfund program, Congress established

the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) -

Superfund's science evaluation office - as a separate agency in

another department. Safety evaluation is independent of all other

decisions.

 

o After the Space Shuttle Columbia accident, the Gehman Commission

recommended that decisions about shuttle safety and launching the

shuttle should be completely separate - we adopted this recommendation.

 

What does our bill do? It:

o Creates a new agency of vaccine safety that reports directly to

the Secretary of HHS.

o Vaccine safety research is conducted in a manner that is

completely independent of any and all other vaccine-related decisions.

o Establishes a scientific review panel, similar to NIH's study

sections, to evaluate the scientific merits of investigator-initiated

research as the Institute of Medicine has recommended.

o Establishes a balanced 18 Member Advisory Committee to formulate

a safety research agenda and to prioritize research approve by the

scientific study group. Committee Includes:

o 2 vaccine industry reps

o A pediatrician

o An immunologist

o A toxicologist

o An infectious disease expert

o A geneticist

o Not less than 1/3rd of the members of the Committee have a

vaccine-related injury or injured child.

 

Finally, as you may know the CDC has acknowledged this internal

conflict. Last year, Dr. Gerberding moved the CDC's Immunization

Safety Office out from under the National Immunization Program (NIP),

however vaccines safety remains within the CDC. While I appreciate

this initiative, and I understand her limitations in not being able to

move vaccine safety outside of her agency, vaccine safety research

remains woefully short of the degree of independence and funding

commitment that is needed to garner wide public support and acceptance.

 

If government-funded vaccine safety research is to be broadly

accepted, we must eliminate all real and perceived conflicts of

interest. Otherwise, we will fail to achieve the level of acceptance

that is necessary to restore, build, and secure public confidence over

the long-run. A vaccine safety program housed anywhere within the CDC

fails to achieve this independence.

 

We will create a separate and wholly independent office for vaccine

safety research. The question that we face at present is:

 

'Will we create this office now in a proactive manner before public

confidence further erodes, or will we do it later in reaction to

growing loss of public confidence in the hope of restoring lost trust.

 

I suggest we act now and that is what Rep. Maloney and I plan to do.

It is the wiser course.

Guess there's quite a bit of concern in India too.

 

To:

HE Sri A P J Abdul Kalam,

Hon'ble President of India,

Rashtrapati Bhawan,

New Delhi.

 

Dt: 10.09.2006

 

Most Respected Sir,

 

Please accept my sincere pranam. In spite of our repeated appeals and inspite of the fact that todays edition of the Times of India states that the number of autistic children in India has crossed the 40 lakh mark, and is growing at an alarming rate, the doctors are not willing to reconsider their decision to stop the process of mass vaccinations.

 

The doctors, at the inauguration ceremony of the National Centre of Autism, inaugurated by UPA Chairperson Respected Ms Sonia Gandhi, have conceded that autism is a possible consequence of mercury poisoning. Mercury is a prime component of vaccines along with other heavy metals and neurotoxins and is also suspected to be the the prime cause behind the fact that 1 in 6 children today suffer from some sort of neurological or behavioural disorder.

 

They have also conceded that there is no cure for the condition and that prevention is the only option to stem the rapid growth of the autism epidemic all over the globe.

 

Vaccines are also said to be behind the explosion of autoimmune disorders like diabetes and cancers as they tinker with the natural immune system of the body as well as have introduced the simian virus SV 40 into humans. Vaccines are supposed to have introduced many animal viruses, 60 approximately, out of which only SV 20 and SV 40 have been identified so far.

 

Senior doctors and paediatricians have also taken pains to point out that vaccines are being introduced in India without adequate testing of the same and that this puts Indian children and growing adults at great risk of vaccines furtively designed as instruments of biological warfare as well as forcible population control.

 

Sir, we can no longer wait till the medical fraternity decides to intervene, stop vaccinations, and prevent our children from being maimed and killed. Though senior doctors have repeatedly warned the Health Ministry against the above dangers, the officials are still sleeping on the issue for reasons best known to them.

 

We have therefore decided to protect our interests by introducing a document, detailed below, to be signed by every physician, whether at their clinics, or at the vaccine camps, declaring that vaccines are safe, that they are aware of the vaccine ingredients, that they have arranged for tests ensuring their safety and also that they are sure that the particular child is at considerable risk from the disease against which the vaccine is being administered. We hope Sir, that the doctors too eager to subject our children to vaccines, will have no reason to refuse to sign such a document in the interest of the children they are so eager to "protect".

 

I plead unto you to kindly request the Health Ministry to put its seal upon the document and circulate it amongst the health officials, doctors and healthcare assistants and other professionals in charge of the vaccination process.

 

We sincerely hope Sir that your Highness will take adequate steps in this regard. Forty lakh autistic children, their parents and well wishers, as well as persons otherwise affected by vaccines, and the dead souls who have left this earthly plane prematurely due to vaccine after effects, are eagerly awaiting your early decision in this regard.

 

We have very great faith on you Sir, kindly do not let us down.

 

Most respectfully yours,

Jagannath Chatterjee,

Vaccine Damage Victim,

Health Reform Activist.

In Case of Hep B Vaccine.

"Physician´s Reasons for Determining the Invalidity of Adverse Scientific Opinions."

 

Hepatitis B

I understand that 60% of patients who are vaccinated for Hepatitis B will

lose detectable antibodies to Hepatitis B within 12 years.

I understand that 50% of patients who contract Hepatitis B develop no

symptoms after exposure.

I understand that 30% will develop only flu-like symptoms and will have

lifetime immunity.

I understand that 20% will develop the symptoms of the disease, but that 95%

will fully recover and have lifetime immunity.

I understand that 5% of the patients who are exposed to Hepatitis B will

become chronic carriers of the disease.

I understand that 75% of the chronic carriers will live with an asymptomatic

infection and that only 25% of the chronic carriers will develop chronic

liver disease or liver cancer, 10-30 years after the acute infection.

 

In addition to the recommended vaccinations as protections against the above

cited risk factors, I have recommended other non-vaccine measures to protect

the health of my patient and have enumerated said non-vaccine measures on
