The H1N1 Flu and Proposed Vaccination Programs

We’ve all read about the potential pandemic outbreak of H1N1 flu. Then the next thing we read pertains to the crash-program development of an H1N1 vaccine and its world-wide use. The question that faces all parents is what to do: to vaccinate or not to vaccinate. Here at AutismOne a primary concern regarding vaccinations is safety. Are doses safe? Is any given combination of vaccines safe? What age factors must be considered in vaccine programs? Has each new vaccine pushed by authorities been thoroughly tested to be safe? The last question is one we need to give serious consideration regarding the H1N1 vaccine. The article “The vaccines are far more deadly than the swine flu” by Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Prof. Joe Cummins opens with the following.

The US government is intending to vaccinate all children in September when school re-opens, and the country’s vaccine watchdog National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) has called on the Obama Administration and all state Governors to provide evidence that the move is [6] “necessary and safe”, demanding “strong mechanisms for vaccine safety screening, recording, monitoring, reporting and vaccine injury compensation.”

The article proceeds to point out that anyone or organization involved with experimental vaccines during a public health emergency are not liable for resulting injuries. That’s a broad safety blanket for the pharmaceutical industry and a total stripping of the rights of us citizens for recourse. Then top it off with the fact that it appears likely that some states will make the vaccination mandatory and we have significant reason for concern. Here’s what the NVIC wants.

The NVIC is asking whether the states are prepared to obey vaccine safety provisions in the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which include: 1. Giving parents written information about vaccine benefits and risks before children are vaccinated; 2. Keeping a record of which vaccines the children get, including the manufacturer’s name and lot number; 3. Recording which vaccines were given in the child’s medical record; and 4. Recording serious health problems that develop after vaccination in the child’s medical record and immediately making a report to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

NVIC also wants to know if the states are prepared to provide financial compensation to children injured by the swine flu vaccines, whether parents will be given “complete, truthful information about swine flu vaccine risks”, and have the right to say “no” to vaccination.

This certainly sounds more than reasonable to us. Is there anything wrong with asking our government agencies to obey the law? If you wish to read the complete article, click here.
