" What went horribly wrong is that they made tons of them (vaccines), filled them with toxic stuff and then crammed 31+ of them into a 2 year period when your child's immune system was at it's weakest - and they MANDATED you to have this garbage put into your kid. "

While researchers look for links between autism, pervasive developmental disorders, and the mercury content of the vaccines which are mandated by law, some physicians are convinced that the dangers of mandatory vaccinations and the vaccines themselves potentially cause more harm than good. As a result, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) passed a resolution at their 57th Annual Meeting that calls for the elimination of laws which require vaccinations for children. According to Dr. Jane M. Orient, MD, the association's Executive Director, " Our children face the possibility of death or serious long-term adverse effects from mandated vaccines that aren't necessary or that have very limited benefits. "

According to the Association, the mandatory vaccine controversy is fueled by the influence of the pharmaceutical companies in the legislative process and the fact that their influence extends into the depths of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and the Food and Drug Administration. These groups have the authority to approve vaccines and other medical treatments for use in the United States, and their research is flawed because of the influence of the manufacturers. According to the AAPS, " Rampant conflicts of interest in the approval process has been the subject of several Congressional hearings, and a recent Congressional report concluded that the pharmaceutical industry has indeed exerted undue influence on mandatory vaccine legislation toward its own financial interests. " They go on to say, " The vaccine approval process has also been contaminated by flawed or incomplete clinical trials, and government officials have chosen to ignore negative results. "

While the mass media and the federal government continue to defend their position that vaccinations are perfectly safe and that there is no research to indicate any danger, the facts are clear. Congressman Burton's House Committee on Government Reform heard case after case of permanent disability and deaths which the parents have attributed to vaccinations. The scientific research shows that there are dangers, and the continued denial of any danger is totally in conflict with the evidence. In fact, as a result of the information which was brought to light by the Congressional Hearings earlier this year, Congressman Burton took the unprecedented step of writing Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala, asking that all vaccines which contain Thimerosal (Mercury) be banned from the American market.

 

Whether vaccinations are the cause of Autism is still unknown. Research is ongoing on several fronts, however, the fact that vaccines can and do cause harm to some children, and that the harm is much greater than if the child contracted the disease the vaccination is intended to prevent, is enough to convince a Member of Congress and a major medical association to question the validity of mandatory vaccinations. Whether a parent chooses to vaccinate a child is an issue for the parent and the physician involved to decide upon. It is not the province of government to make that decision. Medical care is a personal issue between the patient and the physician. Following your physician's advice is a wise act, however following the advice of a government bureaucrat, sometimes on the payroll of a pharmaceutical company, may not be the best course of action to follow, especially when the lives of our children are involved.
