Studying vaccinated vs unvaccinated population.

October 31, 2006

Summary of the bill:http://capwiz.com/a-champ/issues/alert/?alertid=8926551 & type=COH.R. 5940 will direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct or support a comprehensive study comparing total health outcomes, including risk of autism, in vaccinated populations in the United States with such outcomes in unvaccinated populations in the United States, and for other purposes. The proposed legislation provides as follows:Securing the health of our children is

our most important concern for the Nation's future. Health outcomes measure the success of public health efforts in chronic and infectious disease. The number of immunizations. administered to infants, pregnant women, children, teenagers and adults has grown dramatically over recent years. The incidence of chronic, unexplained diseases such as autism, learning disabilities, and other neurological disorders appears to have increased dramatically. Individual vaccines are tested for safety, but little safety testing has been conducted for interaction of effects of multiple vaccines. The strategy of aggressive, early childhood vaccination has never been tested in its entirety against alternative strategies, either for safety or for total health outcomes.This study will compare total health outcomes, including autism, in vaccinated populations in the United States with such outcomes in

unvaccinated populations in the united States; and to determine whether vaccines or vaccine components play a role in the development of autism spectrum or other neurological conditions. The proposed legislation provides for objectivity, transparency and and conflict-free investigation by competent researchers. The bill identifies target populations to be included in the study such as the Old Amish or the Homefirst practice in Chicago. It provides for timely initiation and completion of the study. After all, they (the pro-vaccine lobbyists) say to

themselves, you can't make an omelette withoutbreaking eggs. But the eggs being broken are small, helpless, and innocent babies, while the omelette is being enjoyed by the pediatricians and vaccine manufacturers. - Harris L. Coulter, PhD
