Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Dear Sir, I am a retired teacher of disabled children. My specialization is teaching deaf children from Preschool through High School (in the United States). Most of my experience is with Junior High or Middle School students ages 13 to16. While most all of my experience is with deaf children, many deaf children also have other disabilities as well, including intellectual disabilities, blindness, cerebral palsy, attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder and autism. I have worked with severely disabled adolescents, both males and females with deafness, that have also had autism. As well, my little cousin is also severely afflicted with autism; and my sister's oldest child, a son, is afflicted severely with ADHD. So I have seen the face of these illnesses over the years from both the perspective of a service provider as well as an affected family member. I applaud your efforts to get the information to people about the connection between these vaccines and the disabilities noted. The impact on families, the larger social-economic system, schools and service organizations is great. There is a tremendous financial investment by the companies who produce these vaccines to continue with their vaccination programs and they expend much effort to disuade the public from investigating--raising any questions at all about--the link between these illnesses and their vaccinations. However, more and more people are becoming aware of the dangers of such vaccinations as more and more are affected by these illnesses and disabilities. Unfortunately, in the U.S. a child is not permitted to enter a public school without vaccinations and parents can be held criminally negligent for not placing a child in school. Education in the United States is compulsory from about the age of 5/6 to the age of 18. The very wealthy, who are few in number, can choose to place their children in private institutions; or educate by tutor in the home. The majority of Americans cannot afford the cost of a private education and must place their children in public schools. Moreover, out of ignorance, those who do not understand the risks of these vaccinations fear that an unvaccinated child will bring illness upon others if attending school without vaccination. Many people never question the connection between these illnesses and vaccinations; others who do are not permitted choice, legally or socially. This illustrates the tremendous amount of power the producers of these vaccines have over the public. And, these producers are not physicians, they are pharmaceutical, corporate and/or governmental organizations. Physicians do consult with these entities; however, they are in essence paid for their signature assuming all of the regulations are followed. If a doctor who is paid by one of these organizations raises questions concerning the severe side effects of these vaccines and their overall safety, he or she is easily replaced by another doctor who will not. In other words, many such doctors are no more than paid employees and conceed their Hypocratic Oath (their vow to heal and not to cause harm) in order to maintain the status quo--to do otherwise is to threaten their own livelihood. Here is an example from recent American history of this kind of protection of the status quo over that of human life: Twenty-five or so years ago in the United States Ford Motor Company produced a car named the Pinto. After a few years on the market it was discovered that there was a faulty placement of the gasoline tank on this rear of this car such that when the car was involved in a minor "rear-end" collision (30 mph plus) it would blow up, killing or severely maiming and disabling those in the car. Ford Motor Company became aware of this defect and for years did nothing. After law suits were filed against Ford Motor Company about this vehicle, it was determined by the company that it was more cost effective to do nothing about the vehicle and simply pay settlements to those injured or the families of those killed in the cars in "rear-end" collisions. The company calculated that the cost to either pull the cars completely off the market and recall all those that had been purchased (refunding the cost to buyers) or to recall the cars and fix the gas tanks so that this "blowing up" of the car on "rear-end" impact would not occur was too costly to the company. So here is an example of how a company places a numerical value on a human life and calculates whether or not it is cost effective to the life of the company whether to make change. My first car was a Ford Pinto, and by the time I learned of this problem with the Pinto, Ford had a recall in effect on the car to put a thin metal plate in front of the gas tank so that if it was "rear-ended" it would not blow up. My father took me to the auto dealer to have this plate installed. When we saw exactly what was this modification to the car to protect the gas tank from blowing up on impact of a "rear-end" collision; my father decided to purchase another car. The metal plate the mechanic showed us that had been placed in front of the gas tank was about one-third the size of a regular sheet of notebook paper and equally as thin--the difference was negligable. We were lucky. We had the knowledge about this lethal flaw in the car and we were in a financial position to purchase a new car. Many people are not so lucky. It took many years and the death of many innocent people as well as the media coverage of this situation before no more Pintos were bought or sold, even as used vehicles, and the Ford Pinto faded out from the American marketplace. This example serves to illustrate the cold and calculating mind of the materialist who is committed to making money beyond all ethics, beyond all reason and beyond his or her own humanity. And the rationale illustrated by the above example is often behind those unwilling to even question the status quo. It simply would cost them too much. Yet, as more and more become aware of the increasing numbers of people and children who are affected by these illnesses and disabilities as well as the fact that the actual cost of these vaccinations (in terms of human life, stress on families and other care givers, service providers and programs, as well as the larger social/economic system) is expanding beyond all resources available to cope with the problem, the organizations that promote these vaccinations will be forced to listen to the voices of people who refuse to cooperate with the violence. It is no doubt violence against all those who suffer from these illnesses and their families and friends--society as a whole--not to take their cries for an open discussion of the research already in existence seriously in order to discover what kind of connection or link there is between these vaccines and the illnesses that are associated with them. All it would take to see and clearly understand this need is to spend one day in the life of those who directly suffer from these illnesses and those who are the caregivers to those with these illnesses. The suffering in some cases is unbearable to experience. Secondly, it is the view of this author that once the connection made clear before the public between vaccination and disabililty or illness, the use of these vaccinations must be ceased in favor of some other method of health maintenance and disease prevention. Please continue this important work of bringing to the public an awareness of the ravages these vaccines are having on our children and our society. Thank you kindly, Ash On Behalf Of Jagannath ChatterjeeMonday, September 04, 2006 5:47 AMhealthgroup[HealthyIndia] Why I write on vaccines. Dear All, I am not merely engaged in pointing out the connection behind vaccines and autism. I am trying to highlight the connection to raise awareness on the issue to achieve the following; 1. To prevent the increase in cases of autism. In fact vaccines are claimed to prevent diseases. I also do the same thing, I raise awareness about vaccine dangers to prevent diseases like ASD, ADHD, infantile diabetes, infantile cancer, and other infant developmental disorders. As Xena has pointed out infantile attention deficit disorders are today present in 1 in 6 children. This is unacceptable by any standards. 2. Unless we come together and fight on the issue the government will not award any compensation to the parents of children with ASD and other vaccine related disorders. You must realise that an autistic child is also a heavy financial burden on the parents. 3. It is only when the heavy metal, measles, and autism link is widely known, that parents will take to detoxification as an important part of their childs therapy thus coming out of the grip of the autism industry. 4. I care only about the children as I am a victim of ASD myself and am FULLY aware of the extent of their pain and anguish. I will not give up till the name "ASD" is wiped out of the lexicon of the medical industry. The vaccine producers do not want their source of income to dry up. The medical industry has invested a lot in studying about measures to help infants with various disorders. If infants stop suffering from those disorders they would end up being nowhere. We cannot make an ASD affected child fully normal. But by highlighting the vaccine-heavy metals-chemicals-autism link we can have less ASD affected children in our midst. Surely that is also an objective of this group? Unless the parents all over the world unite and fight on this issue the 10 billion dollar vaccine industry will continue to maim our children. Therefore I do not usually react to mails denouncing me . The number of personal mails I get in my inbox suggests that my mails are well accepted and that many parents do not want to openly discuss or participate in the subject in the forums as they do not wish to antagonise certain people. I understand and do not disagree with them. Regards, Jagannath. "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Ma'am, Your reply was extremely helpful. I have used your mail (after deleting your personal details) to hit home the point to the concerned authorities. If they still cannot rectify the fault then they are blind. Sorry, they are not blind but they prefer not to see. Regards, Jagannath. , " Ash " <aishwarya wrote: > > Dear Sir, > > I am a retired teacher of disabled children.
