Vaccine injured children burden on parents. Not the doctor's.

Vaccinations can have side effects http://www.courierp ostonline. com/apps/ pbcs.dll/ article?AID= /20071230/ OPINION/71230031 7/1047 Sunday, December 30, 2007 By HOLLY MASCLANS For the Courier-Post In September of 2008, New Jersey parents will be forced to vaccinate their infants and preschoolers with a pneumococcal and yearly flu vaccine as a requirement for day care and preschool. Because of the nature of the flu vaccine, each year a different virus is targeted and a new vaccine developed. By mandating the flu vaccine, every year a child will receive a combination of vaccines without an established safety history. U.S. Senate Bill 732, known as the "Comprehensive Child Health Immunization Act of 1993," made known that there are risks to vaccines. The

following is from that bill: "Vaccine information materials should be simplified to ensure that parents can understand the benefits and risks of vaccines." But, how can all the risks of a new vaccine or vaccine combination be known and communicated to parents when the flu vaccine is off the market nine months after its introduction? In 1994 when my oldest daughter was immunized, the vaccine information from my pediatrician not only listed fever, pain and swelling at the injection site but also some scary side effects such as seizures, encephalitis and death. When I vaccinated my son in 1998, I noticed my pediatrician provided no information and I thought, "Good, they fixed the problems with the vaccines." In 2001, when my third child was vaccinated, the nurse asked the doctor, "Why so many?" He responded, "They changed them." I assumed he was referring to the removal of mercury and a move to separate the combination vaccines. I was wrong. My daughter's

vaccines contained mercury and a newly licensed pneumococcal vaccine was added to her lot of six other toxoids she would receive that day. My daughter had eight seizures after her four-month shots and was autistic within weeks of her vaccinations. During that time, my mute son's blood work showed significantly elevated levels of mercury and aluminum -- both ingredients in his childhood vaccines. My daughter's seizures and autism went unreported by my pediatrician -- he remarked the timing of her immunizations, seizures and plummet into autism as a coincidence. My son's heavy metal burden was ignored as well. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration estimates that, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, only 1 percent of vaccine-adverse events have been reported. It is unacceptable that side-effects and injuries from even well-established vaccines are not acknowledged by pediatricians or the

federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and that parents are not privy to information stated in the Health Immunization Act of 1993. Unlike the information I received in 1994, today's pediatric offices sport glossy posters and brochures that minimize and euphemize the side-effects of vaccines and exaggerate the risks of disease. The addition of these vaccines and others to the already complex and expansive childhood vaccine schedule adds more risk to our children. Parents need to know the truth about vaccination side-effects and make their own choices regarding the health and safety of their children. Mandated indiscriminate mass vaccination is wrong. Ultimately the care of an injured child falls on the parent and not the medical establishment. There is no longer any serious doubt that health officials are

covering up a big story, trying to side step a growing swell of evidence that threatens the very foundation of medical science and practice. It is obvious that the medical profession cannot afford to have the public ever find out the truth about vaccination for there is simply just too much at stake for them. - Dr Mark Sircus, MD.
