On Aug. 27, 2014 a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control 1 publicly admitted 2 that he and other CDC officials, including the current CDC’s Director of Immunization Safety, 3 4 published a study about MMR vaccine safety in 2004 5 that “omitted statistically significant information” and “did not follow the final study protocol. “ He said the study “omitted relevant findings in a particular study for a particular sub group for a particular vaccine” and added that “there have always been recognized risks for vaccination” and “it is the responsibility for the CDC to properly convey [vaccine] risks.”

CDC: A History of Limiting
Transparency
We couldn’t
agree more. CDC officials should not be in the business of deliberately
withholding information from the public about vaccine risks that may be greater
for some children than other children. 6 Unfortunately, CDC officials have a
long history of limiting transparency 7 8 and being less than honest with the
American people about what it does and does not know about vaccine risks. 9 10
Last July,
a RAND Corporation study commissioned and funded by DHHS was published
proclaiming that vaccines “are very safe.” 11 What was not made clear to the
public was that the study was designed and peer reviewed by high-level CDC
officials, including the CDC’s Director of Immunization Safety. 12
This is a
big problem for parents being ordered to give their children every government
recommended vaccine – no exceptions and no questions asked. 13 14
NVIC Calls on Congress to Take
Action on DHHS Conflicts of Interest
Today, the
National Vaccine Information Center is renewing our call for oversight of
vaccine safety to be removed from the Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS). 15
It is a
conflict of interest for DHHS to be in charge of vaccine safety and also
license vaccines, 16 and take money from drug companies
to fast track vaccines, 17 and partner with drug companies to
develop and share profits from vaccine sales, 18 and make national vaccine policies 19 that get turned into state vaccine
laws 20 while also deciding which children
will and will not get a vaccine injury compensation award. 21 22
That is too
much power for one federal agency. That is putting the fox in charge of
guarding the chicken coop.
Vaccination Can Cause Brain
Inflammation and Injury
Especially
when it has been known since the first vaccine for smallpox that vaccination
can cause brain inflammation 23 24 25 26 27 and a wide spectrum of brain injury
symptoms, like developmental delays and disabilities. 28 29 30
It is very
telling that Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court have declared that vaccines
are “unavoidably unsafe” and completely shielded drug companies from vaccine
injury lawsuits. 31 32 In America, if you or your child
gets hurt by a vaccine, you can’t hold anyone who developed, regulated,
recommended, marketed, mandated, administered or profits from the vaccine
accountable in a civil court of law in front of a jury of your peers.
Parents Concerns About Vaccine
Safety Legitimate
The recent
statement by a CDC senior scientist admitting that vaccine risk data is being
withheld from the public is just one more piece of evidence that parents’
questions and concerns about vaccine safety are legitimate.
Congress
should act now and take vaccine safety monitoring away from DHHS.
The health
of our children is at stake.
Contact Your U.S. Senator and
Representative
Contact
your U.S. Senator and Representative today and tell them you want something
done about conflicts of interest in the nation’s vaccination system. 33 34 If your child’s health has been
harmed by vaccination, tell them about that too.
Go to NVIC.org
and learn more about making informed vaccine decisions and protecting your
informed consent rights.
It’s your
health. Your family. Your choice.
