Respected Sir,
We have come to know that a review committee meeting on the vaccination
policy is upcoming. Being a vaccine damage victim I do not at all
favour the concept of mass vaccinations, but realising that this evil
will not be eradicated I would like to put forth the following points
which, I feel, should be discussed in the above meeting;
1. The composition of the review committee.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The committee should include experts from non-mainstream methods of
healing like homeopathy, naturopathy and ayurveda. The practitioners of
these systems of healing have observed firsthand and warned against the
many side effects of vaccines. Now that all their apprehensions are
more than apparent, these physicians should have a say in framing a new
vaccination policy. Who should be vaccinated and who should not, what
are the risk factors to be considered, what are the disease states that
merit vaccines, should mass vaccinations be allowed, all such issues
should preferably be discussed in the meeting.
2. Mercury in vaccines.
--------------------------------
This will be a main topic for discussion but I wish to emphasise that
mercury is not the only harmful ingredient of most vaccines. There are
other heavy metals like Aluminium Hydroxide, Aluminium Sulphate and
also other carcinogens and toxins. There is also the question of
antibiotics in vaccines which are delivered intramuscularly without a
skin test.
3. Human and animal serum in vaccines.
-------------------------------------------------------------
As per vaccine researchers, there is no such thing as "uncontaminated
serum". When the contamination in green monkey serum in polio vaccines
leading to the human transfer of simian viruses SV 20 and SV 40 was
detected, the responsible scientists countered that had they used any
other serum it would have probably introduced virus from some other
species instead. As serum from monkeys, horses, pigs, cows, chicken,
egg, and even human fetuses is routinely used in vaccines, this aspect
of vaccines should be an important subject for discussion. This is
highly essential considering the widespread prevalence of animal
induced diseases like bird flu, mad-cow disease and other scourges like
AIDS.
3. Genetically Modified Viruses.
---------------------------------------------
Gene technology is in its infancy and many anomalies have come to the
fore. The use of genetically modified viruses is therefore a very
questionable procedure. The use of live viruses also should be debated.
4. Combination vaccines.
-----------------------------------
It has been observed, in countries where human life is considered
important, that combination vaccines like MMR, DPT etc are more
dangerous than the rest. This issue should be taken up and the use of
separate vaccines for each disorder should be considered.
5.More tests needed on vaccines.
-------------------------------------------------
Vaccines are tested for only 48 hours. Is this adequate? If the effect
of vaccines is known to exist for life then is it not obvious that the
side effects too could be long term? What are the tests, if any, that
have been conducted on the long term effects of vaccinations? The other
tests that are absolutely necessary are;
A. The effects of the ingredients of vaccines, singly and in
combination.
B. The effects of multiple vaccinations.
C. The amount of total vaccine ingredients that are injected into
children during
the childhood immunisation procedure and its effects.
D. The effects of vaccines on the sick, the pregnant, the
immunodeficient, those
suffering from inveterate skin problems, and on the children of
parents suffering
from chronic autoimmune disorders.
6. Building public awareness on probable vaccine dangers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we are all aware, the common man is blissfully unaware of the
downside of the vaccination procedure. The medical industry prefers
this ignorance as education on this aspect will make many, if not all,
wary of vaccines. It is well known that health workers, vaccine
researchers, and employees involved directly in the manufacture of
vaccines usually shy away from them, knowing fully well the dangers.
Why then should the public be kept in the dark about vaccine dangers?
Is this not a great injustice that should immediately be rectified? The
statement of mainstream doctors that the new vaccine policy should be
framed without "creating a scare" is an indication of their utter
callousness, lack of concern and disregard for safety.
Like in the civillised countries, in India too, all vaccines should be
given only after obtaining signatures from parents that they are
willing to vaccinate their children after duly considering the dangers
involved. All the probable vaccine after effects should be clearly
spelt out in these forms and read out and explained to illiterate
parents so that they are not forced to blindly sign the declaration.
7. Acknowledging vaccine adverse effects and training doctors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I have been acutely aware in my case, no doctor will ever
acknowledge that vaccines can cause adverse reactions. This situation
should change. Doctors should be educated about all the probable after
effects of vaccines and how to tackle them. They should maintain
records of all vaccine adverse effects noticed and a national database
should be formed in line with the VAERS system adopted in the USA.
What about a skin test being performed before the vaccines are given?
This may save many a life especially from anaphylactic shock and
seizures.
8. Compensating vaccine damage victims.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Having suffered an adverse vaccine reaction when I was barely 18, I
have suffered horrendously for another 26 years, putting an end to all
my dreams and aspirations besides forcing me to undergo pain and
humiliation in the hands of insensitive doctors who refused to
acknowledge my condition. What price should I put on all that I had to
go through? I cannot imagine. Can you Sir?
Compensation is a must. Most vaccine damage victims are incapacitated
for life. The government should not only compensate monetarily, but
also take care of these victims as best as possible for life. A
national vaccine damage compensation fund as well as an expert
committee should immediately be formed for this purpose.
9. Should infants be vaccinated?
-----------------------------------------------
Why do we have to vaccinate children at their infancy? Can the vaccines
not be shifted to a more mature age?
Our country recognises all the major systems of treatment. But by
vaccinating children and introducing in them the vaccine dyscrasia we
render them incapable of healing by other modalities as an unnatural
and unstudied disease state is introduced. Should we not give the
children a chance to decide whether they should risk the vaccines? Why
inject babies who cannot describe their pain and anguish?
The vaccination procedure makes a mockery of a persons right to choose
the modality of treatment he prefers. It is an infringement on his
right to good health.
Sir, I hope you will consider all the above points during the
vaccination review committee meeting.
May God Bless You.
