2009: The Vaccine Freedom Tipping Point
by Barbara Loe Fisher
Last night the nighttime medical soap opera, "Private Practice,"
(http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LT0BOUvS81FnyEwZrVxcPrJV1sjsX4GUwooRFX_ZbMBwqtEIpHZ1pUxGE7N-hic7mGuZYmuIXB_YCg7h-vuj5rVmtXYoBuRb0JdNBCllcOhxzlg_75Emf7ZDGo5jvDK0a8ahUUesJDv080ESN-w08uLcxKiesnMQ-4=) on ABC-TV demonized parents of children with
MMR-vaccine related autism for refusing to vaccinate
normal siblings while glorifying doctors forcibly
vaccinating children without parental consent. The
segment entitled "Contamination" left the viewer with
the impression that every child who gets measles will
die and that MMR vaccine poses no risks whatsoever
to any child. It was a cheap shot at parents with
vaccine injured children trying to protect their healthy
children from vaccine injury and yet another wake-up
call for Americans, who understand the importance of
voluntary, informed consent to taking any
pharmaceutical product or undergoing any medical
procedure that can injure and kill.
As 2008 ended and the New Year began,
evidence that the "Tipping Point" in the 27-year old
vaccine safety and informed consent movement has
arrived is becoming more apparent. There is the
escalating rhetoric and hyperbole being spewed by
the evangelistic pediatrician (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQCvb9wJeZtwGTYBoaCu9d2uxkRGamfowDQXMboy_b0huoHmUKSQICjHyJFyvvvd9dEPALcYbyDEymown43GLoF5RAn9orpJjOsxgJiLGimcGNbaQtD7PtnEOToP-fvmVh0bZ1kCrij-U33m7zbBqRv4pOgtI928D0CIPNOA3fghA==)
from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, who called
for doctors to be burned at the stake for the heresy of
individualizing CDC and AAP vaccine use guidelines.
In a brilliant letter (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LRN4BlvSPouHT-X0pqV6cGC1q6pqnX4TZXislW-iKV4_fAWzbrZpbD9RarCJU2gwfMVzJKMPPGo_YtaxP5z5b-DLYLPcrsNiP6U7AdTX-dhhFmwMHLAA-b25FwDKrd7QN5dBDL8ygwj3uLwQxLlSa40I85_ycBInIN8uw0u1VoQwg==)
to Pediatrics, it was a parent of a vaccine injured child,
neurologist Jon Poling, M.D., who pointed out why
sophomoric errors in logic and misunderstanding of
the scientific method invalidated the claims of Paul
Offit. Soon Dr. Poling was joined by others speaking
out (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQ4UjEwN6utxmM15bFl7EkBbqvcXMauJI0XJnlTiI_W65_Zl4xhgNU2iiNtSfDmNXArO7AnWym6sWv-_Dj6Bysafetwudt4GahkZDid3Ap7gxE0qU3ki46y)in defense of pediatricians like
Bob Sears, M.D. (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LSfXn014I8gey7sTTidw74fPiknyrfFNRob63VvBaGRxB1kXRj8yaBuFzsWykOSimHh1mBoK3w51wkc_1JcfccCOCYBoq7Jqm_PXSB3MEoHcjQxtbtXEzm2k_kzn33-f68=), who are wisely advocating that
doctors and parents engage in shared vaccine
decision-making for children.
Then there was the stern reminder to parents
from militant New Jersey health officials that babies
must get
flu shots (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LScFdNDVTjzSNWy76e3Xg9cLFSBZ4fWp0OZ-cjTnPj7E19sn0CSPYeZ-i1OUgqvTjZYQ7YUDZQ2F90y2Ip-NQFRtMdIcY6EwakqpseJdPTzpbJtrKnA5fqQxUOXRoI8BnjAxfNksOevfnw8lLcyJiIjhZJSb9-Qgh5qdosJ9kZ1H8znh84S55lueZpmcf5kgGbfH-w0sVWt2iWQARaX_ygn) by January 2009 or face being kicked
out of daycare and pre-school. Parents living in the
state with the most vaccine mandates (41 doses of 13
vaccines), especially those with children
already suffering with health problems (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LSRBKOHZ5HefEE2G8bIS-VFMkARj-u-fiOamRs7LFE290PSRJuBCYZzQOfVSMECXoEv382cWAPObPInTzFOxp9i3ip7A6_6sK4Ja2K0BUaejIkhR7RBCIqOOguaA3i5cLb3tqTs81LU8LYz3OxihUdyg40-w29uMbb7ZAiIfoE2j8nKvd3jgG0wWARk6vBo95RxMlflnO21GNlUkDX7tHKFvKe2oMz3rdq66HkgA29gEf615EijRoqdYP-bLadPD-nQ2RXuq6vi6g==), are trying
to protect their children from further damage but have
no recourse because New Jersey state law only
allows restrictive medical and religious exemptions.
Vaccine educated parents are writing letters to
legislators urging them to pass a conscientious
belief exemption (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LTrP3XpdXc64iTJpSm4geK8Wvt38zrXZZsXipgw0W8fGcWYzHY_v4UD_jEIzV7MeGoNSd57GZqZOp9AKgOUkh9C5xN3EK10ZnQVW0s3RhkM785hSDuIYcqS)to vaccination.
After a Dec. 14
legislative roundtable (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LTwGUwzUCqSggwcfEkDuyfsDxZLfQ7FexYzpbmIP2Y21KYMVk5r38RnoDwO0W06KtPLsY7I5Gs704fwpqwbVsvK0Nhp4xpU6zeGk7nsEWBtRFHZwm8AT91g05gZf0mBU6k=)discussion at Stony Brook
University with proponents
for and against addition of a philosophical exemption
to New York vaccine laws, vaccine educated parents
are urging that letters be written to legislators (New
York Assembly at http://assembly.stat
e.ny.us/ (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LRMT3e-i9z0ijwZ_r_vMZ2aigWHgzUmPqp87ii7mqq-64JpqoipqR0lUbl6qkFcUhALaqYHrK7tI46qwKML046alMmdmr1wS21q-GicpU6X0g==)and New York Senate at http://www.senate.state.ny.us/senatehom

York Governor David Paterson, Executive Chamber,
State Capitol, Albany, NY 12224 in support of the
exemption.
Merck rang in the New Year trying to pump up
sales of the reactive Gardasil vaccine by asking the
FDA to open up the young boy
market (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LT1y4K5edlzWhqk0pfPxOEvfbxRL3Yo_QHX6RYlILKqlpeUmvp_jlfaMzMlV-jnij_6Nj9WNgCjMUa4Qgtu-q-CiOpDAoyn7hdnjc_HH8HFLhlmwRnHW1G6), while Prevnar-maker Wyeth is making a
bid to become the world's
most profitable vaccine manufacturer (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LT6SJAj9OW_MMRwxFn10eHdSkFCmlCo1Tzdwyxo9X38A9qssu_y28MWcGYfWOG_72qLGcuu_2StvvYg-fPnpx2KOo1AbX4Z31EoYyYOY_3aqJMMeius2EqrXMSQaY8hZ1cts8v5JeJ2pyNB51eH9Z6FRgaDoIdCbIJLhRGTKKYGbHp9-4jVTGd2aLd-byKLorKmcoGW7Szhsw==).
The Jan. 1 voluntary moratorium by drug companies
on giving doctors free pens and trinkets is a token
drop in the bucket compared to the big bucks (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LRn75TRCWwxDK1hsHfm7xbHgv3afZhRQE6kLdiVBnEfTZDNXytXJDJCTrb9q0-dyyxM_oWJGFcLk3cst0Bu6QePtxrmVucUNbDOvpRE8DVV7Gt4eYR6UQaly-SXZNC_8FoW4bzDYG9hm0MoBQpXxSsT2kFhxPqz-JgZI1cYMSItpzyk8KC7b7b7VN6kjr2u3Pk=) Big
Pharma will spend in 2009 to keep doctors convincing
Americans that the only way they can stay healthy is to
consume more and more drugs and vaccines.
But then came a breath of fresh air this week
when the formidable M.I.N.D. Institute at UC-Davis
published an epidemiological study (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQLoxnmcSBPghF9ICRHa95Ii1A9On4kNRXCF6SJQ4HHc4nYwtTMEvi4R2NJCIhqjWG_cujQ7Hi1S7NMrgcDdGdC58714vDdraH6btPklUwEk6XxqZtQEdZtCf78WjZZIi5Hoqllapkow1tCLUqPkh2FpzLKd1cMhqg=)
confirming that the autism epidemic that has emerged
during the past three decades is not due to genetics
or "better counting" but is likely caused by
environmental co-factors.
2009 is off to a contentious, challenging and
promising start. Like all social movements that
advocate reform of institutions stubbornly resistant to
change, the way is not easy and change does not
come quickly or without sacrifice. The three-decade
U.S. vaccine safety and informed consent movement
is approaching its final and most important stage: the
fight for freedom of choice. As several hundred
vaccines are
being developed and tested (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LRYNu4yzPAqawlkB86xSFFaYw-MLhAzU7xAw-wdXVRJYYQdfiAuIJr7ek2B8L70j8kh31qwXX21ssRVKjasK1G9n98-EobvJ_mWU37WAILORBpa6jVkKd0Z)
in several thousand clinical
trials around the world and drug companies are
jockeying for market-share positions, doctors are
trying harder to convince Americans that 69 doses of
16 vaccines given to children between birth and age
18 will keep America healthy.
The argument that more vaccination will equal
better health is an argument that is getting harder to
make as one in two Americans (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQz1SyL0eZuCj5O0eHZkUBJaxucuB-wwhEAKJOLxdZ-Hm2LB16Z0ZIcJ3EiYhHNxNQSEnkvNZcAgqaR45WjU9LnaCEjlcHK_FkRRPVYukHekHs3vk8SkfR2Ta5Zf0qBK2Ei1FdS8RD9a4MnhaR5P2QF)suffers from chronic
disease and America plummets to 39th in infant mortality (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQOjNYCk3UkG5vRJeY6_xD2I7pNj4wLsdydewqcDWOMl9j1O0FQqDYBbuqEVRTG_5St46qKxOqutKweYfUMRNHl7nPM6BskvxQJWOOSd-Mi5u3rxUtHZWY4CW7BoOYv8K6-h-N_70sxHCjOWrwHk-Ih9wM2RApEVwk=) while 25
percent of all children are suffering with learning
disabilities, ADHD, severe allergies, autism, asthma,
diabetes, inflammatory bowel disorder, rheumatoid
arthritis and other chronic immune and brain
disorders. The question that doctors and public health
officials fear most is:
WHY IS THE MOST HIGHLY VACCINATED CHILD
POPULATION IN THE WORLD SO SICK AND
DISABLED?
Until that question is answered by doctors and
public health officials, there aren't enough daytime or
evening soap operas, bogus news reports and poorly
conducted studies claiming that vaccines are totally
safe, or threats by vaccine patent holders and doctors
shouting "coincidence" every time another child
regresses into chronic poor health after vaccination to
keep the tipping point from tipping.
Happy New Year!
"Sears' book, published in October 2007 as part of the
Sears Parenting Library, has already sold more
than40,000 copies and has moved into the top 100 on
the Amazon.com bestseller list. The popularity of
Sears' book centers in part on 2 schedules, called
alternative and selective, that offer parents a way to
avoid giving their children several vaccines at one
time. Sears' book is unique. Unlike typical antivaccine
books, he offers a middle ground, allowing parents to
act on their fears without completely abandoning
vaccines. Unfortunately, Sears sounds many
antivaccine messages....At the heart of the problem
with Sears' schedules is the fact that, at the very least,
they will increase the time during which children are
susceptible to vaccine-preventable diseases. If more
parents insist on Sears' vaccine schedules, then
fewer children will be protected, with the inevitable
consequence of continued or worsening outbreaks of
vaccine-preventable diseases. In an effort to protect
children from harm, Sears' book will likely put more in
harm's way." - Paul Offit, Pediatrics (December 29,

"In their assault on Dr. Sears, Offit and Moser
confuse scientific methodology. Even more dangerous
than not having an understanding of science, is the
presumption that one does "grasp the scientific
method." Actually, in designing an epidemiological
study, one must have a good estimate of the effect
size, in order to determine the power of a study. Offit
misuses the statistical term 'power' to suggest that
this allows one to "reject or not to reject the null
hypothesis." This is incorrect.....As physicians we took
an oath to 'first do no harm' to our individual patients.
Dr. Sears offers a pro-vaccine individualized approach
to childhood immunization that acknowledges the
risks, benefits, and uncertainties of this medical
intervention. Dr. Sears should be applauded for his
efforts to provide safe vaccination alternatives to his
patients, given the void of randomized controlled trials
to support continued growth of the current CDC/AAP
schedule. Rather than personal attacks, let's turn to
science to provide the answers. The enormous public
benefit of vaccination cannot be used to stifle open
discourse on critical vaccine safety issues. One size
does not fit all." - Jon Poling, Pediatrics (January 2,

"The state's new law requiring young children
attending licensed pre-school and child care centers
to get flu vaccinations will be tested this week when
thousands of children return to classrooms and
playrooms after the long holiday break. New Jersey,
the first state in the nation to require flu shots for
young schoolchildren, set a Dec. 31 deadline for
parents to obtain flu vaccinations for their children. It
was part of a new policy requiring a total of four
additional immunizations for schoolchildren over the
objections of some parents who worry about possible
risks from vaccinations. The requirement applies to
children between 6 months and 5 years who are
attending licensed day care and preschool
programs." - Derrick Henry, New York Times (January

"Merck filed last month for approval from the
Food and Drug Administration for the use of its drug
Gardasil by males between the ages 9 to 26, CNBC
has confirmed. Since 2006, Gardasil has been
approved as a means of preventing cervical and other
types of cancer in girls and women. Males carry and
transmit the sexually-transmitted virus HPV, which is
the leading cause of cervical cancer. Gardasil, a
vaccine against HPV, has been a blockbuster product
for Merck , but sales growth for the drug has slowed.

"Starting Jan. 1, the pharmaceutical industry has
agreed to a voluntary moratorium on the kind of
branded goodies - Viagra pens, Zoloft soap
dispensers, Lipitor mugs - that were meant to foster
good will and, some would say, encourage doctors to
prescribe more of the drugs. No longer will Merck
furnish doctors with purplish adhesive bandages
advertising Gardasil, a vaccine against the human
papillomavirus....But some critics said the code did
not go far enough to address the influence of drug
marketing on the practice of medicine. The guidelines,
for example, still permit drug makers to underwrite
free lunches for doctors and their staffs or to sponsor
dinners for doctors at restaurants, as long as the
meals are accompanied by educational
presentations....The industry code also permits drug
makers to pay doctors as consultants "based on fair
market value" - which critics say means that
companies can continue to pay individual doctors tens
of thousands of dollars or more a year. "We have
arrived at a point in the history of medicine in America
where doctors have deep, deep financial ties with the
drug makers and marketers," said Allan Coukell, the
director of policy for the Prescription Project, a
nonprofit group in Boston working to promote
evidence-based medicine. "Financial entanglements
at all the levels have the potential to influence
prescribing in a way that is not good." - Natasha

"It is time to focus on environmental causes for
the rapid rise in autism, a leading researcher said
Thursday, after her study concluded that such factors
as earlier diagnosis and families moving to California
cannot fully explain a dramatic seven- to eightfold
increase in the state since the early 1990s. "With no
evidence of a leveling off, the possibility of a true
increase in incidence deserves serious
consideration," states the study, published in the
January issue of the journal Epidemiology.... Rick
Rollens, the father of an autistic child and co-founder
of the M.I.N.D. Institute, agreed. "This is a definitive
study that should once and for all put the proverbial
nail in the coffin of those who have been denying the
existence of an autism epidemic," he said. "The
sooner that people recognize the significance of this
crisis, the sooner we'll be on our way in trying to
address the needs of the children and families,"
Rollens said." - Sandy Kleffman, Contra Costa Times

PROTEST Hundreds objected to the mandated flu
vaccinations
2009: The Vaccine Freedom Tipping Point
by Barbara Loe Fisher
Last night the nighttime medical soap opera, "Private Practice,"
(http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LT0BOUvS81FnyEwZrVxcPrJV1sjsX4GUwooRFX_ZbMBwqtEIpHZ1pUxGE7N-hic7mGuZYmuIXB_YCg7h-vuj5rVmtXYoBuRb0JdNBCllcOhxzlg_75Emf7ZDGo5jvDK0a8ahUUesJDv080ESN-w08uLcxKiesnMQ-4=) on ABC-TV demonized parents of children with
MMR-vaccine related autism for refusing to vaccinate
normal siblings while glorifying doctors forcibly
vaccinating children without parental consent. The
segment entitled "Contamination" left the viewer with
the impression that every child who gets measles will
die and that MMR vaccine poses no risks whatsoever
to any child. It was a cheap shot at parents with
vaccine injured children trying to protect their healthy
children from vaccine injury and yet another wake-up
call for Americans, who understand the importance of
voluntary, informed consent to taking any
pharmaceutical product or undergoing any medical
procedure that can injure and kill.
As 2008 ended and the New Year began,
evidence that the "Tipping Point" in the 27-year old
vaccine safety and informed consent movement has
arrived is becoming more apparent. There is the
escalating rhetoric and hyperbole being spewed by
the evangelistic pediatrician (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQCvb9wJeZtwGTYBoaCu9d2uxkRGamfowDQXMboy_b0huoHmUKSQICjHyJFyvvvd9dEPALcYbyDEymown43GLoF5RAn9orpJjOsxgJiLGimcGNbaQtD7PtnEOToP-fvmVh0bZ1kCrij-U33m7zbBqRv4pOgtI928D0CIPNOA3fghA==)
from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, who called
for doctors to be burned at the stake for the heresy of
individualizing CDC and AAP vaccine use guidelines.
In a brilliant letter (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LRN4BlvSPouHT-X0pqV6cGC1q6pqnX4TZXislW-iKV4_fAWzbrZpbD9RarCJU2gwfMVzJKMPPGo_YtaxP5z5b-DLYLPcrsNiP6U7AdTX-dhhFmwMHLAA-b25FwDKrd7QN5dBDL8ygwj3uLwQxLlSa40I85_ycBInIN8uw0u1VoQwg==)
to Pediatrics, it was a parent of a vaccine injured child,
neurologist Jon Poling, M.D., who pointed out why
sophomoric errors in logic and misunderstanding of
the scientific method invalidated the claims of Paul
Offit. Soon Dr. Poling was joined by others speaking
out (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQ4UjEwN6utxmM15bFl7EkBbqvcXMauJI0XJnlTiI_W65_Zl4xhgNU2iiNtSfDmNXArO7AnWym6sWv-_Dj6Bysafetwudt4GahkZDid3Ap7gxE0qU3ki46y)in defense of pediatricians like
Bob Sears, M.D. (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LSfXn014I8gey7sTTidw74fPiknyrfFNRob63VvBaGRxB1kXRj8yaBuFzsWykOSimHh1mBoK3w51wkc_1JcfccCOCYBoq7Jqm_PXSB3MEoHcjQxtbtXEzm2k_kzn33-f68=), who are wisely advocating that
doctors and parents engage in shared vaccine
decision-making for children.
Then there was the stern reminder to parents
from militant New Jersey health officials that babies
must get
flu shots (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LScFdNDVTjzSNWy76e3Xg9cLFSBZ4fWp0OZ-cjTnPj7E19sn0CSPYeZ-i1OUgqvTjZYQ7YUDZQ2F90y2Ip-NQFRtMdIcY6EwakqpseJdPTzpbJtrKnA5fqQxUOXRoI8BnjAxfNksOevfnw8lLcyJiIjhZJSb9-Qgh5qdosJ9kZ1H8znh84S55lueZpmcf5kgGbfH-w0sVWt2iWQARaX_ygn) by January 2009 or face being kicked
out of daycare and pre-school. Parents living in the
state with the most vaccine mandates (41 doses of 13
vaccines), especially those with children
already suffering with health problems (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LSRBKOHZ5HefEE2G8bIS-VFMkARj-u-fiOamRs7LFE290PSRJuBCYZzQOfVSMECXoEv382cWAPObPInTzFOxp9i3ip7A6_6sK4Ja2K0BUaejIkhR7RBCIqOOguaA3i5cLb3tqTs81LU8LYz3OxihUdyg40-w29uMbb7ZAiIfoE2j8nKvd3jgG0wWARk6vBo95RxMlflnO21GNlUkDX7tHKFvKe2oMz3rdq66HkgA29gEf615EijRoqdYP-bLadPD-nQ2RXuq6vi6g==), are trying
to protect their children from further damage but have
no recourse because New Jersey state law only
allows restrictive medical and religious exemptions.
Vaccine educated parents are writing letters to
legislators urging them to pass a conscientious
belief exemption (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LTrP3XpdXc64iTJpSm4geK8Wvt38zrXZZsXipgw0W8fGcWYzHY_v4UD_jEIzV7MeGoNSd57GZqZOp9AKgOUkh9C5xN3EK10ZnQVW0s3RhkM785hSDuIYcqS)to vaccination.
After a Dec. 14
legislative roundtable (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LTwGUwzUCqSggwcfEkDuyfsDxZLfQ7FexYzpbmIP2Y21KYMVk5r38RnoDwO0W06KtPLsY7I5Gs704fwpqwbVsvK0Nhp4xpU6zeGk7nsEWBtRFHZwm8AT91g05gZf0mBU6k=)discussion at Stony Brook
University with proponents
for and against addition of a philosophical exemption
to New York vaccine laws, vaccine educated parents
are urging that letters be written to legislators (New
York Assembly at http://assembly.stat

York Governor David Paterson, Executive Chamber,
State Capitol, Albany, NY 12224 in support of the
exemption.
Merck rang in the New Year trying to pump up
sales of the reactive Gardasil vaccine by asking the
FDA to open up the young boy
market (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LT1y4K5edlzWhqk0pfPxOEvfbxRL3Yo_QHX6RYlILKqlpeUmvp_jlfaMzMlV-jnij_6Nj9WNgCjMUa4Qgtu-q-CiOpDAoyn7hdnjc_HH8HFLhlmwRnHW1G6), while Prevnar-maker Wyeth is making a
bid to become the world's
most profitable vaccine manufacturer (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LT6SJAj9OW_MMRwxFn10eHdSkFCmlCo1Tzdwyxo9X38A9qssu_y28MWcGYfWOG_72qLGcuu_2StvvYg-fPnpx2KOo1AbX4Z31EoYyYOY_3aqJMMeius2EqrXMSQaY8hZ1cts8v5JeJ2pyNB51eH9Z6FRgaDoIdCbIJLhRGTKKYGbHp9-4jVTGd2aLd-byKLorKmcoGW7Szhsw==).
The Jan. 1 voluntary moratorium by drug companies
on giving doctors free pens and trinkets is a token
drop in the bucket compared to the big bucks (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LRn75TRCWwxDK1hsHfm7xbHgv3afZhRQE6kLdiVBnEfTZDNXytXJDJCTrb9q0-dyyxM_oWJGFcLk3cst0Bu6QePtxrmVucUNbDOvpRE8DVV7Gt4eYR6UQaly-SXZNC_8FoW4bzDYG9hm0MoBQpXxSsT2kFhxPqz-JgZI1cYMSItpzyk8KC7b7b7VN6kjr2u3Pk=) Big
Pharma will spend in 2009 to keep doctors convincing
Americans that the only way they can stay healthy is to
consume more and more drugs and vaccines.
But then came a breath of fresh air this week
when the formidable M.I.N.D. Institute at UC-Davis
published an epidemiological study (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQLoxnmcSBPghF9ICRHa95Ii1A9On4kNRXCF6SJQ4HHc4nYwtTMEvi4R2NJCIhqjWG_cujQ7Hi1S7NMrgcDdGdC58714vDdraH6btPklUwEk6XxqZtQEdZtCf78WjZZIi5Hoqllapkow1tCLUqPkh2FpzLKd1cMhqg=)
confirming that the autism epidemic that has emerged
during the past three decades is not due to genetics
or "better counting" but is likely caused by
environmental co-factors.
2009 is off to a contentious, challenging and
promising start. Like all social movements that
advocate reform of institutions stubbornly resistant to
change, the way is not easy and change does not
come quickly or without sacrifice. The three-decade
U.S. vaccine safety and informed consent movement
is approaching its final and most important stage: the
fight for freedom of choice. As several hundred
vaccines are
being developed and tested (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LRYNu4yzPAqawlkB86xSFFaYw-MLhAzU7xAw-wdXVRJYYQdfiAuIJr7ek2B8L70j8kh31qwXX21ssRVKjasK1G9n98-EobvJ_mWU37WAILORBpa6jVkKd0Z)
in several thousand clinical
trials around the world and drug companies are
jockeying for market-share positions, doctors are
trying harder to convince Americans that 69 doses of
16 vaccines given to children between birth and age
18 will keep America healthy.
The argument that more vaccination will equal
better health is an argument that is getting harder to
make as one in two Americans (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQz1SyL0eZuCj5O0eHZkUBJaxucuB-wwhEAKJOLxdZ-Hm2LB16Z0ZIcJ3EiYhHNxNQSEnkvNZcAgqaR45WjU9LnaCEjlcHK_FkRRPVYukHekHs3vk8SkfR2Ta5Zf0qBK2Ei1FdS8RD9a4MnhaR5P2QF)suffers from chronic
disease and America plummets to 39th in infant mortality (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001_-MDWMAk9LQOjNYCk3UkG5vRJeY6_xD2I7pNj4wLsdydewqcDWOMl9j1O0FQqDYBbuqEVRTG_5St46qKxOqutKweYfUMRNHl7nPM6BskvxQJWOOSd-Mi5u3rxUtHZWY4CW7BoOYv8K6-h-N_70sxHCjOWrwHk-Ih9wM2RApEVwk=) while 25
percent of all children are suffering with learning
disabilities, ADHD, severe allergies, autism, asthma,
diabetes, inflammatory bowel disorder, rheumatoid
arthritis and other chronic immune and brain
disorders. The question that doctors and public health
officials fear most is:
WHY IS THE MOST HIGHLY VACCINATED CHILD
POPULATION IN THE WORLD SO SICK AND
DISABLED?
Until that question is answered by doctors and
public health officials, there aren't enough daytime or
evening soap operas, bogus news reports and poorly
conducted studies claiming that vaccines are totally
safe, or threats by vaccine patent holders and doctors
shouting "coincidence" every time another child
regresses into chronic poor health after vaccination to
keep the tipping point from tipping.
Happy New Year!
"Sears' book, published in October 2007 as part of the
Sears Parenting Library, has already sold more
than40,000 copies and has moved into the top 100 on
the Amazon.com bestseller list. The popularity of
Sears' book centers in part on 2 schedules, called
alternative and selective, that offer parents a way to
avoid giving their children several vaccines at one
time. Sears' book is unique. Unlike typical antivaccine
books, he offers a middle ground, allowing parents to
act on their fears without completely abandoning
vaccines. Unfortunately, Sears sounds many
antivaccine messages....At the heart of the problem
with Sears' schedules is the fact that, at the very least,
they will increase the time during which children are
susceptible to vaccine-preventable diseases. If more
parents insist on Sears' vaccine schedules, then
fewer children will be protected, with the inevitable
consequence of continued or worsening outbreaks of
vaccine-preventable diseases. In an effort to protect
children from harm, Sears' book will likely put more in
harm's way." - Paul Offit, Pediatrics (December 29,

"In their assault on Dr. Sears, Offit and Moser
confuse scientific methodology. Even more dangerous
than not having an understanding of science, is the
presumption that one does "grasp the scientific
method." Actually, in designing an epidemiological
study, one must have a good estimate of the effect
size, in order to determine the power of a study. Offit
misuses the statistical term 'power' to suggest that
this allows one to "reject or not to reject the null
hypothesis." This is incorrect.....As physicians we took
an oath to 'first do no harm' to our individual patients.
Dr. Sears offers a pro-vaccine individualized approach
to childhood immunization that acknowledges the
risks, benefits, and uncertainties of this medical
intervention. Dr. Sears should be applauded for his
efforts to provide safe vaccination alternatives to his
patients, given the void of randomized controlled trials
to support continued growth of the current CDC/AAP
schedule. Rather than personal attacks, let's turn to
science to provide the answers. The enormous public
benefit of vaccination cannot be used to stifle open
discourse on critical vaccine safety issues. One size
does not fit all." - Jon Poling, Pediatrics (January 2,

"The state's new law requiring young children
attending licensed pre-school and child care centers
to get flu vaccinations will be tested this week when
thousands of children return to classrooms and
playrooms after the long holiday break. New Jersey,
the first state in the nation to require flu shots for
young schoolchildren, set a Dec. 31 deadline for
parents to obtain flu vaccinations for their children. It
was part of a new policy requiring a total of four
additional immunizations for schoolchildren over the
objections of some parents who worry about possible
risks from vaccinations. The requirement applies to
children between 6 months and 5 years who are
attending licensed day care and preschool
programs." - Derrick Henry, New York Times (January

"Starting Jan. 1, the pharmaceutical industry has
agreed to a voluntary moratorium on the kind of
branded goodies - Viagra pens, Zoloft soap
dispensers, Lipitor mugs - that were meant to foster
good will and, some would say, encourage doctors to
prescribe more of the drugs. No longer will Merck
furnish doctors with purplish adhesive bandages
advertising Gardasil, a vaccine against the human
papillomavirus....But some critics said the code did
not go far enough to address the influence of drug
marketing on the practice of medicine. The guidelines,
for example, still permit drug makers to underwrite
free lunches for doctors and their staffs or to sponsor
dinners for doctors at restaurants, as long as the
meals are accompanied by educational
presentations....The industry code also permits drug
makers to pay doctors as consultants "based on fair
market value" - which critics say means that
companies can continue to pay individual doctors tens
of thousands of dollars or more a year. "We have
arrived at a point in the history of medicine in America
where doctors have deep, deep financial ties with the
drug makers and marketers," said Allan Coukell, the
director of policy for the Prescription Project, a
nonprofit group in Boston working to promote
evidence-based medicine. "Financial entanglements
at all the levels have the potential to influence
prescribing in a way that is not good." - Natasha

"It is time to focus on environmental causes for
the rapid rise in autism, a leading researcher said
Thursday, after her study concluded that such factors
as earlier diagnosis and families moving to California
cannot fully explain a dramatic seven- to eightfold
increase in the state since the early 1990s. "With no
evidence of a leveling off, the possibility of a true
increase in incidence deserves serious
consideration," states the study, published in the
January issue of the journal Epidemiology.... Rick
Rollens, the father of an autistic child and co-founder
of the M.I.N.D. Institute, agreed. "This is a definitive
study that should once and for all put the proverbial
nail in the coffin of those who have been denying the
existence of an autism epidemic," he said. "The
sooner that people recognize the significance of this
crisis, the sooner we'll be on our way in trying to
address the needs of the children and families,"
Rollens said." - Sandy Kleffman, Contra Costa Times
