While Mandatory
Vaccination Laws Are Enacted, Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Is Failing, Mercola.com 7/21/15
Most people can now clearly see that the measles cases in
Disneyland were a first-class propaganda con game, brilliantly played out by
the pharmaceutical industry to ensure profitable cradle-to-grave control of our
bodies.
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/02/10/measles-disneyland.aspx>
It's interesting to note that many of the same people
staking out abortion rights using "my body, my choice" reasoning are
simultaneously contradicting themselves when it comes to laws removing choices
about use of pharmaceuticals like vaccines. *
They cite the supposed threat that people refusing
government recommended vaccines pose a danger to society. In their eyes, we're
all pharmaceutically deficient and must be forced to get lots of vaccines or be
punished and segregated. Now that discrimination against healthy unvaccinated
children is legal in West Virginia, Mississippi, and most recently, California,
where unvaccinated children are being denied the civil right to get a school
education, one might ask, / "Why are those sick with infectious diseases
not being segregated and prevented from participating in society?" /
If a healthy, unvaccinated child /not /infected with
hepatitis B is too much of a threat to other children to attend public or
private school, then why are children who /are/ infected with hepatitis B (or
other infectious diseases like HIV) also not barred from attending school?
It is illogical for the state to pass laws unfairly
punishing healthy unvaccinated children by preventing them from getting a school
education, and punishing unvaccinated adults by preventing them from being
employed as health or child care workers while millions of children and adults
infected with hepatitis B and C, HIV, syphilis and gonorrhea and other
transmittable infectious diseases are allowed to go to school and be employed
without facing similar discrimination and segregation from society.
If there's any upside to the outrageous forced vaccination
bill
debacle that we have witnessed in California this year, it
is that people are starting to see that the slippery slope into medical tyranny
in America has been generously greased with pharmaceutical money.
It has also awakened many more people to the reality that
defending our human and civil rights — loudly, and vigorously — has become
imperative, as California lawmakers followed the money rather than their
constituents, who showed up by the thousands in protest against SB 277.
Drug Companies Donated Millions to California Lawmakers
The new law (SB 277), signed by Governor Jerry Brown on June
29, 2015, denies parents in California the legal right to file a personal
belief exemption to vaccination for religious and conscientious beliefs so
their children can attend school.
While the medical exemption still exists, it's an exemption
that doctors deny to 99.99 percent of children under very narrow federal
guidelines, so the law very effectively eliminates parent's ability to make
informed vaccine choices for their kids.
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source =dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_

Parents in California, who refuse to give their school-aged
children dozens of doses of the 10 federally recommended vaccines now mandated
in the state, only have only one option left and that is to homeschool.
While this may be a hidden silver lining that might lead to
a generation of more well-educated, well-adjusted children, homeschooling is not financially feasible for every family
and not all parents have the educational background to homeschool their
children, even if they wanted to do that.
What this means is that, if you reside in California and
cannot afford to homeschool or move out of state, you are being forced to play
vaccine roulette with your child's health because truancy — failing to provide
your child with compulsory education — is also a crime, punishable with fines
and imprisonment under California law. Why such heavy-handedness?
As reported by /The Sacramento Bee, the pharmaceutical
industry donated more than $2 million to California lawmakers who, in turn,
decided to gut the human right to
informed consent to medical risk taking and the civil right
to a school education.

The article lists the dollar amounts received by each
individual member, noting that:
"Nine of the top 20 recipients are either legislative
leaders
or serve on either the Assembly or Senate health committees.
Receiving more than $95,000, the top recipient of industry
campaign cash is Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento Democrat and
doctor who is carrying the vaccine bill.
In addition, the industry donated more than $500,000 to
outside campaign spending groups that helped elect some current members last
year.
Leading pharmaceutical companies also spent nearly $3
million more during the 2013-2014 legislative session lobbying the Legislature,
the governor, the state pharmacists' board and other agencies, according to
state filings."
How Will Mandatory Vaccination Law Eradicate Fact That
Outbreaks Occur in Fully Vaccinated Populations?
There seems to be a blatant disregard for the truth when it
comes to information disseminated by mainstream media and industry, medical
trade, and public health agencies regarding the necessity for and effectiveness
of government recommended and mandated vaccines.
For example, 90 percent of the children who contracted
whooping cough (pertussis) in the 2012 outbreak in Vermont were vaccinated.
Of 178 confirmed cases of pertussis in children aged six
months to 18 years, 160 of them were vaccinated with DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and
acellular pertussis vaccine):
* One child had
received one to two doses
* Eight had
received three doses
* Nine had
received four doses
* 74 had
received five doses, and
* 68 had
received six doses
The recommended number of doses DTaP vaccine before entering
kindergarten is FIVE, yet 38 percent of these kids who had received SIX doses -
one more dose than recommended - /still /contracted whooping cough!
This seems to confirm findings published in /The New England
Journal of Medicine/, which showed that a child's odds of contracting whooping
cough increases 42 percent each year after receiving their fifth dose of the
DTaP vaccine.
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid
=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_cid=DM80124&et_rid=1043340149#_edn5>
California also experienced a whooping cough "epidemic"
last year. According to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH):
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source= dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_ cid=DM80124&et_rid=1043340149#_edn6>
"The last epidemic in California occurred in 2010,
however, the overall incidence of pertussis has increased since the 1990s. One
reason for the increase is the use of acellular pertussis vaccines, which cause
fewer reactions than the whole-cell vaccines that preceded them, but do not
protect as long."
The CDPH also notes that among the 8,215 pediatric cases
with vaccination history information, "806 (10 percent) had never received
any doses of pertussis-containing vaccine" — which is just another way of
saying that /90 percent/ of them /had/ received at least one dose of DTaP.
There is a willful disregard for the facts when it comes to
doctors lobbying for "no exceptions" mandatory vaccination laws, when
they often refuse to admit the truth about /who /can be infected and spread
disease.
They don't want to talk about vaccine failures and just how
many fully vaccinated children are still getting sick with B. pertussis
whooping cough. (Studies have also demonstrated that recently /vaccinated/
individuals, who are given live virus vaccines, are able to shed and transmit
vaccine strain virus infections to other people.

Besides waning pertussis vaccine effectiveness, the fact
that fully vaccinated individuals can become asymptomatic pertussis carriers is
another reason why reported pertussis outbreaks still occur, despite very high
vaccination rates. It's NOT because there are so many unvaccinated people
running around spreading disease. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid
=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_cid=DM80124&et_rid=1043340149#_edn8
In fact, according to a study published in the June issue of
the British Medical Journal (BMJ), asymptomatic pertussis transmission by
vaccinated individuals may be /the most significant/ factor. As reported by
/The New York Times/:
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid
=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_ medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_cid=DM80124&et_ rid=1043340149#_edn9>
"Benjamin M.
Althouse and Samuel V. Scarpino tracked infections through three time periods: 1920-45, when no vaccination was available; 1946-2005, when the whole cell
vaccine was used; and 2006-13, when the whole cell vaccine
was replaced with the acellular version...
Using epidemiological evidence and genomic analyses of the
bacterium, [they] conclude that the switch to the acellular vaccine from the more effective whole-cell vaccine accounts
for the recent increase in incidence. In addition, they say, the vaccine complicates estimates of prevalence by hiding many infections...
Asymptomatic transmission explains why 'cocooning' —vaccinating all those who come in contact with babies too
young to be vaccinated — does not work. Transmission by people who do not know
they are infected may also mean that achieving herd immunity — that is,
vaccinating enough people to provide protection even to the unvaccinated — will
be difficult, if not impossible, using the acellular vaccine."
The Ramifications of Denying Children of an Education
Denying children an education for failing to receive dozens
of doses of federally recommended and state mandated vaccines by the age of six
is likely to backfire in many ways. For example, according to a study featured
in The Atlantic, a surprisingly large
percentage of high school dropouts die prematurely:"

'The difference in "the number of deaths that we can
attribute to finishing high school or not is on par with the difference between
current and former smokers,' said Chang, a public-health professor at
NYU..."Similar findings were published in 2008.
The main culprits for early death among the undereducated
are smoking, obesity, and high blood pressure. According to Chang: /"In
public health and public-health policy, there is a lot of emphasis on
[addressing] health behaviors: smoking, obesity, nutrition, drinking, et
cetera. There should be more attention paid to education, which is a more
fundamental driver of these behaviors."
If improved public health was truly the goal, lawmakers
would not waste their time on passing laws mandating the use of
pharmaceuticals.
They'd focus on addressing true, known killers — including prescription
drug overdoses and the rising threat of antibiotic resistance. They also would
not sacrifice children's civil right to a school education by pretending that
excluding unvaccinated children from schools will really protect and improve
the public health.
Those of us, who are old enough to remember the days when
parents wanted their children to play with a child sick with chickenpox or
measles so they could get natural, long lasting natural immunity to once common
childhood infections, know that the vast majority of kids recovered without
complications. Parents back then also knew that there were far more
complications from contracting childhood infections in later years.
Vaccine Errors and Recalls Are VERY Common
The issue of medical errors is a serious one. In the US, at
least 210,000 Americans are killed by preventable hospital errors every year.
When deaths related to diagnostic errors, errors of omission
and failure to follow guidelines are included, the number skyrockets to an
estimated 440,000 preventable hospital deaths each year. In all, preventable
medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the US.
Mistakes occur just about everywhere, including in pediatric
clinics, where you'd think they'd be extra careful. During an audit of a Salem
County "Free Shots for Tots" clinic, officials discovered that in one
year, five children were given the wrong vaccines. This may not sound like a lot
— until you find out the clinic only vaccinated 22 individuals in the year
audited.^13
Five out of 22 is a rather significant error rate. Two of
the children received expired vaccines. One received flu mist, despite being
too young to receive it. In the fourth case, officials are still trying to
determine exactly which vaccine was actually given... The worst error was made
with a two-year old boy who received a high dose of Gardasil in lieu of the
vaccine he was supposed to get...NBC News noted that: "Health officials
are not sure whether the child would suffer negative effects, but said he may
be at risk of neurological damage. Shots of the HPV vaccine are given to boys
and girls starting at age 9. The audit also found $20,000 worth of vaccines were
not properly refrigerated."
In another story demonstrating similar reckless disregard
for
vaccine risks, 250 immigrant children held at a Texas detention
facility were given adult doses of a hepatitis A vaccine, according to a recent
/Medical Daily report.
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid
=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_ medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_cid=DM80124&et_ rid=1043340149#_edn15>
An adult dose is about twice the amount prescribed for
children. According to Crystal Williams, executive director of the American
Immigration Lawyers Association:
"Volunteer attorneys at Dilley, as well as those at
simila detention centers... have long noted disturbing patterns of
what appears to be inadequate health care for the women and children. This
latest permutation is beyond appalling — it is putting children at risk not
just for short-term reactions but for unknown long-term risks."
The idea that vaccines are safe is also undermined by the
number of manufacturing errors that occur. Would it shock you to find out that vaccines
have the highest number of recalls of any drug. According to a 2012 report by business
intelligence experts GBI Research, vaccines "fail to meet safety
standards."
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/24/most-recalled-type-of-drug-will-surprise-you.aspx>?
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_ medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_cid=DM80124&et_ rid=1043340149#_edn16>
Between 2007 and 2010, 14 recalls for vaccines were made,
for reasons such as:
* Serious
adverse events
* Labeling
errors
* Quality
defects (reduced levels of potency, presence of
contaminants, such as glass particles,
etc.)
* Manufacturing
defects
Do Not Expect Mainstream Media to Report the Truth on
Vaccines. Every vaccine comes with potential side effects
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/11/16/the-greater-good.aspx>.

Yet, when those who have been injured by vaccines or their
families express outrage for what happened, they're muzzled and the mainstream
media rarely reports on their plight. When a reporter or news outlet does cover
a case of vaccine injury or death or discuss vaccine risks and failures, there
are usually repercussions. Such was the case when/The Star/ in Canada ran an
article about several young women who became ill after getting the Gardasil
vaccine. The paper ended up removing the article, noting that:
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid
=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_cid=DM80124&et_rid=1043340149#_edn16>
"The story included the caveat that none of these
instances had been conclusively linked to the vaccine. However, the weight of
the photographs, video, headlines, and anecdotes led many readers to conclude
the Star believed its investigation had uncovered a direct connection between a
large variety of ailments and the vaccine./
Some doctors and public health officials were troubled by
the story treatment and by the lack of reference to the many studies which
conclude the risks of Gardasil are low...
All vaccines, including Gardasil, have side-effects. The
better known they are, the more safely the vaccine can be deployed.
This is what the article sought to achieve as well as to
note
that acknowledged risks are not always properly
communicated. We remain committed to this line of reporting. However, we have
concluded that in this case our story treatment led to confusion between
anecdotes and evidence. For that reason, the Gardasil story package of Feb. 5
will be removed from our website."
But what about all the media articles talking about the
benefits of vaccination without ever mentioning any of the risks or failures?
If "confusion" was sufficient for failing to present both sides of a
story, almost every vaccine article published by the mainstream media would
need to be removed. Very rarely does the media present a balanced view of the
very real potential risks versus theoretical
benefits of vaccination and almost never is there an
examination of the shoddy nature of the industry's vaccine research.
It is no wonder that liability free vaccine manufacturers
have no incentive to conduct sound vaccine science and why there is no
government funding of independent research into vaccine risks that could answer
the question of whether many vaccines do more harm than good.
While Mandatory Vaccination Laws Are Enacted, Federal
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Is Failing
Oftentimes, vaccine-injured victims are victimized yet again
by statements suggesting that they or their children are acceptable collateral
damage to protect the "greater good" of society. In order to convince
the public that the lives of those injured by vaccines are less important than
the lives of those injured by infectious diseases, deaths attributed to
infectious diseases get plenty of headlines, even though such deaths are
generally rare in developed countries like the U.S. (especially when compared
to the death rate of conventional medicine and pharmaceuticals).
One of the most recent examples is a young woman whose death
was used to stoke the fear and propaganda whipped up by mainstream media this
year about measles.
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid
=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_cid=DM80124&et_rid=1043340149#_edn19>
She had a number of health problems, her immune system was
suppressed by the multiple drugs she was taking, and her death was initially
attributed to pneumonia. However, reportedly the coroner doing the autopsy
found evidence that she had been infected with measles even though she had been
vaccinated and did not have typical measles symptoms prior to her death.
Yet the newspaper headlines all INCORRECTLY screamed
"Measles Death" rather than properly acknowledging the true cause of
her death was likely due to a number of health issues, including the multiple
drugs she was taking. Her death was the first reported "measles
death" in the U.S. since 2003. It was conveniently publicized just after
Governor Jerry Brown signed the law eliminating the personal belief vaccine
exemption in California.
All this propaganda is used as ammunition to try to convince
everyone to fear measles and support draconian vaccination
laws like the one just enacted in California. While Americans in three states
have already lost their right to make informed vaccine decisions for their
children and must gamble their children's health in order to give them a school
education, the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is failing.
In a recent Stanford News article, Clifton Parker writes: "The
safety net that Congress created to protect children who suffer from vaccine
injury is not working as intended, a Stanford law professor has found. 'The
bottom line is that the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was supposed to
offer 'simple justice' to vaccine-injured children. But it has largely failed
to do so."
Few Are Ever Compensated When Injured by a Vaccine
Since 1988, the federal vaccine injury compensation program
(VICP) has adjudicated more than 14,000 petitions for vaccine injury and death.
Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, Congress set the VICP
up as a no-fault alternative administrative dispute resolution system intended
to protect the vaccine supply in the U.S. by shielding vaccine makers from high
jury awards in civil court, while compensating children injured or killed by
government
recommended and mandated vaccines.
The VICP, which is jointly operated by the Department of
Health and Human Services, Department of Justice, and the U.S. Court of Federal
Claims, was supposed to be a non-adversarial and less time consuming,
traumatic, and less expensive alternative to a vaccine injury lawsuit against
pharmaceutical companies marketing vaccines and doctors administering vaccines
negligently. In reality, it has turned out to be a very adversarial, lengthy
and unpleasant process
for many families whose loved ones have been harmed by
vaccines.
So far, VICP has paid out $3.2 billion to 4,150 child and
adult claimants who have been harmed by government recommended and state
mandated vaccines. About 10,000 cases have been dismissed, with two out of
three vaccine injured plaintiffs turned away empty handed.
Because the government does not publicize the existence of
the VICP, very few Americans even know about it or apply for compensation after
they or their children were harmed by vaccines.
Adding insult to injury, the process is exceedingly slow,
with the average case taking over five years to adjudicate — a far cry from the
240-day deadline originally set by Congress for all adjudication decisions.
Most people also need a lawyer in order to have any chance at getting federal
vaccine injury compensation, which completely defeats the purpose of keeping
vaccine injuries outside the traditional civil justice system.
"Even when children are found to be entitled to
compensation, governmental lawyers have sometimes hassled petitioners over
relatively piddling amounts. For example, in one case, a dispute arose whether
a 14-year-old girl with profound mental retardation was or was not entitled to
a $40 pair of high-top tennis shoes,"
Parker writes. Now, the US Supreme Court is being asked to
decide on a standard for vaccine injury compensation. As reported by The Insurance
Journal:
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/21/failing-vaccine-injury-compensation-program.aspx?e_cid
=20150721Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_ medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150721Z1&et_cid=DM80124&et_
rid=1043340149#_edn21>
"Congress created what's known as the vaccine court to compensate
those who are hurt in the pursuit of a greater public good... 'The government
is in a difficult position,' said Ed Kraus, a professor at the Chicago-Kent
College of Law who represents plaintiffs in vaccine cases. He said the U.S. is
walking a tightrope in trying to protect all Americans' health as well as those
few who have bad reactions to vaccines.
The case the Supreme Court will this week consider taking
was filed by the parents of Ilya Dobrydnev, who had a hepatitis B vaccination
in 2001, when he was 10. He had a fever, swollen lymph nodes, inner ear
inflammation and eventually debilitating memory loss. Now 23, he's disabled by
chronic fatigue syndrome.
In 2004, his lawyer petitioned the National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program. The vaccine court... in 2013 granted
his parents $1 million and annual payments to cover the cost of his care. The
U.S. Justice Department challenged the decision the next year, saying there
wasn't sufficient evidence of cause to support such an award, and a federal
appeals court overturned it.
The Dobrydnevs' Supreme Court petition claims the government
set too high a bar and asks the justices to order the vaccine court to adhere
to the more victim-friendly standard their lawyer contends was envisioned by
Congress. 'I happen to think vaccines are extremely important for public
health,' said their lawyer, Mark Friedlander... 'But if something goes wrong,
people think the government's going to be there for them. They're not.'
