--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is Secretary Sebelius implying that vaccines not only provides "herd protection against communicable diseases" .. but .. vaccines also prevent "chronic diseases" that are now affecting 1 in every 6 American children?

What research is Secretary Sebelius relying upon that shows unvaccinated children suffer high rates of chronic disease?

Reuters - Doctors and minorities still have a dangerous mistrust of

vaccines that became painfully clear during the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, U.S.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on Monday.

But she said the United States had " unprecedented " levels of flu

vaccination for the past season and pointed to nearly $500 million in government

funding to improve decades-old influenza vaccine technology.

" We shouldn't have to convince health providers that vaccines are safe and

that they work. But, despite the fact that we had more health providers than

ever getting vaccinated last year, there was still a sizable number who did

not, " Sebelius told a meeting of vaccine experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

In an average year, fewer than 40 percent of doctors, nurses and other

healthcare workers get flu vaccines. " Tell them to get vaccinated, " Sebelius

urged her audience.

Even though 90 million doses of influenza vaccine had been administered of

the 162 million doses shipped across the country, minorities often got left out,

Sebelius said. " Too many people in these communities still don't believe that

vaccines are safe, or even that they work, " she said.

" But with so many African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, and

others experiencing rising rates of chronic disease, not getting vaccinated is

many times more dangerous than even the perceived threat of the vaccine. "

The CDC estimates that H1N1 has killed 12,000 Americans and put more than

265,000 in hospital. People with chronic diseases such as asthma or diabetes,

pregnant women and children were at highest risk.

maybe this is the answer to why in Texas the autism rate for Mexican children is much lower than average.
