Chinese parents up against vaccines.

Chinese Citizens Seek Redress For Children Killed And Damaged By Vaccines

 

Yi Wenlong, father of one of the victims of the vaccine,

holds his petition for redress

A group of parents seeking redress for what they say are their

children's vaccine-related disabilities travelled to the capital in a

centuries-old tradition. They say that their children became crippled

after taking polio vaccine or brain-damaged after meningitis vaccine in

what appeared to be catastrophic malfunctions of government health

drives. "I want the government to punish the official who caused this,"

said Wang Mingliang, whose 9-month-old daughter died last year after a

meningitis vaccination. Almost all the parents seeking redress have

secured medical opinions from local hospitals tying their children's

death or illness to the vaccinations.
