>

> by Barbara Loe Fisher

>

> The Great Denial of vaccine risks for the past three decades by

> vaccine makers, pediatricians and government officials operating

> the mass vaccination system is the reason why more and more parents

> today question and mistrust vaccine science, policy and law. When

> Coulter and I co-authored DPT: A Shot in the Dark in 1985

> exposing flaws in the mass vaccination system that allowed the

> highly reactive DPT vaccine to stay on the market unimproved for

> more than 40 years, we never imagined then that those tragic flaws

> in the system would remain largely intact in 2009.

>

> I knew then that the alliance between industry, organized medicine

> and government was powerful. But it is only after a quarter century

> of witnessing the Great Denial of vaccine risks, which has produced

> millions of vaccine damaged children flooding special education

> classrooms and doctors offices, that the magnitude of that

> unchecked power has been fully revealed.

>

> Jefferson, co-author of the U.S Constitution, said in 1820:

> " We are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to

> tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it. "

> When those in power are so afraid of the truth that they abandon

> reason and are willing to tolerate all kinds of errors in order to

> hide the truth, people suffer.

>

> Fear of the truth was clearly in play at a Jan. 14 meeting of the

> Federal Interagency Autism Advisory Committee (IACC) when the

> Committee took a convenient " re-vote " to nullify a previous vote to

> use a portion of congressionally appropriated funds in the

> Combating Autism Act of 2006 to investigate the long reported

> association between vaccination and autism. Whether the " re-vote "

> can be blamed on a turf war between federal agencies, a Committee

> member who defied direction given to her by her employer, Autism

> Speaks, or a desperate, last minute end-run by health officials to

> again delay the day when the truth about vaccine risks is known, it

> is the people who always lose in this high stakes game of denials

> and delays.

>

> Jefferson had a lot to say about power, coercion and

> freedom. He said " Subject opinion to coercion: whom will you make

> your inquisitors? Fallible men; men governed by bad passions, by

> private as well as public reasons. " Ask Rita Palma of New York what

> it means to be subjected to an inquisition about her religious

> beliefs by an arrogant and fallible man governed by passions and

> driven to harass and coerce her for private as well as public

> reasons. Click here and also click here to watch videos of an

> attorney, acting on behalf of the state of New York, as he puts

> Rita on the rack and browbeats her for her religious beliefs and

> faith in God when it comes to vaccinating her children.

>

> Rita has been working with other parents in New York to support the

> addition of philosophical exemption to vaccination to New York

> vaccine laws to protect parents, who exercise religious exemptions,

> and doctors, who issue medical exemptions from harassment by state

> officials. A public Vaccine Education Roundtable was sponsored by

> New York Assemblymen Marc Alessi and Gottfried on Dec. 15,

> 2008 at Stony Brook University to examine vaccine safety and

> informed consent issues.

>

> Reason and faith, conscience and science, truth and freedom. Those

> who participate in the Great Denial of vaccine risks cannot

> tolerate an unbiased, methodologically sound scientific

> investigation into those risks. And they cannot tolerate the free

> exercise of religious belief and conscience by those, whose minds

> and bodies they must control in order to perpetuate the Great Denial.

>

> In 1997, I was asked to present an argument for the moral right to

> conscientious belief exemption to vaccination to the National

> Vaccine Advisory Committee in Washington, D.C. After my 20 minute

> presentation, there was a several hour " discussion " where I was

> grilled by public health officials who alternately acknowledged the

> importance of the informed consent principle and called me

> " selfish, " a " threat to the public health " and " uninformed. "

>

> The defining moment of that encounter, for me at least, came when I

> looked the physician architect of the CDC-led " No shots, No school "

> campaign in the eye and said " Whether or not I put my child's life

> on the line for you and your vaccines is between me and my God and

> not between me and you, Doctor. " The way he gritted his teeth and

> glared at me while his face flushed bright red, spoke volumes about

> what the Great Denial is all about. It is about whether we, the

> citizens, are going to have the power to freely choose which

> pharmaceutical products or other medical interventions we are going

> to use or whether that power is going to be taken from us by

> doctors and public health officials.

>

> sen v. Massachusetts is the U.S. Supreme Court decision which

> affirmed the constitutional right of the states to enact mandatory

> vaccination laws. Concerned about controlling smallpox, little did

> the justices at the turn of the 20th century imagine that federal

> officials would someday recommend 69 doses of 16 vaccines for

> children from 12 hours of age through age 18 or that New Jersey

> would mandate more than three dozen doses of 13 vaccines for

> children to attend school. In an insightful review of that historic

> 1905 Supreme Court decision, the Harvard Law Review recently

> examined the application of sen v. Massachusetts to vaccine

> laws in the 21st century.

>

> If one citizen or group of citizens in America are allowed to force

> fellow citizens to risk injury or death without their voluntary,

> informed consent, then are Americans free in any sense of the word?

> When forced risk-taking involves mandated use of pharmaceutical

> products protected from liability in the Judicial system, which the

> authors of the Constitution created as a check and balance on the

> Executive and Legislative branches of government, then people can

> be easily exploited for power and profit. Unless vaccines and other

> pharmaceutical products are subject to the law of supply and demand

> so citizens can freely choose those which are necessary, safe and

> effective and reject those which are not, the people become nothing

> more than enslaved consumers of potentially dangerous products

> marketed by companies with no economic or legal incentive to

> improve those products.

>

> And if the state can tag, track down and force individuals against

> their will to be injected with biologicals of unknown toxicity

> today, then there will be no limit on which individual freedoms the

> State can take away in the name of the greater good tomorrow.

> As the 44th President of the United States is sworn in today in our

> nation's Capitol, we can only pray that he will have the

> intelligence, compassion and conscience to make sure that his

> Administration is not afraid to find out the truth about vaccine

> risks. With one child in six now developmentally delayed in America

> and no answers from government health officials as to how they got

> that way, our nation's future may depend on it.

>

> The National Vaccine Information Center is prepared to stand with

> other parent groups representing families with vaccine injured

> children to call for an end to the Great Denial by those

> responsible for ensuring our children's health and safety.

>

> Let freedom ring: No forced vaccination. Not in America.
