http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/8b8tgo9<\/a>, where you\u2019ll learn that said federal agency \u201cheld a public meeting of the FDA\u2019s Advisory Committee on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) in Rockville, Maryland, September 2-3, 2010, at which several charts were distributed. The chart below … indicates just how pervasive and costly vaccine damage actually IS in dollars and cents.<\/p>\n\u201cPetitioners\u2019 Award Amounts for fiscal years 1989 thru 2010 totaled almost Two Billion Dollars … representing 2,503 awards. …<\/p>\n
\u201cIn excess of an additional Forty-six Million Dollars … was paid out for Attorneys\u2019 Fees\/Costs Payments, which probably represented an additional 2,293 claims that were dismissed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goodness. Why is the federal government paying out billions to people \u201cfound to be injured by certain vaccines\u201d if the theory that \u201cshots cause brain defects in children … has been soundly disproved by extensive medical research,\u201d as out letter writer contends? And unfortunately, this is the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n
While autism and other diagnoses can arrive years after an infant receives the shots in question, the federal compensation program sets a time limit for proving harm — a time limit which has passed before many young parents realize there\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n
The federal program also requires that MEDICAL DOCTORS certify the damage in question was caused by vaccines. Given that most medical doctors belong to a guild that energetically denies any such harm is even possible — as our letter-writer of Aug. 17 so ably demonstrates — one can imagine how this requirement further reduces the number of successful claims.<\/p>\n
All this leads the folks at Vactruth to conclude: \u201cThese figures represent only a FRACTION of damages that rightfully should be paid to families that suffered vaccine-induced damages. Thousands, maybe a million or more families, are left with life-long-damaged children and medical bills that will be overwhelmingly expensive and probably not compensated for.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both of my first two books contained chapters documenting vaccine injury case histories. In my column of March 17, 2000, I wrote:<\/p>\n
\u201cA 1985 federal report prepared for the United States Institute of Medicine concluded that if 3.6 million American children receive three pertussis vaccinations each as recommended, 22 to 36 of those infants will suffer permanent brain damage each year from the vaccine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis vaccine is intended to prevent whooping cough, mind you — a disease which can now be treated with commonly available antibiotics. Though in fact, even the level of that \u2018protection\u2019 is highly debatable. In a recent outbreak of whooping cough in Cincinnati, more vaccinated children came down with the disease than children who\u2019d received no shots. …<\/p>\n
“Donna Burns of Gardner, Mass., whose son Ryan had been normal until he received his recommended pertussis shots, but who immediately thereafter developed high fever, screaming, and swelling of the head and brain, leading to his permanent partial disability (epilepsy, hearing loss, motor problems, learning disabilities) says more than 18,000 permanent damage claims have been filed under the federal Vaccine Compensation Act.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt one point, after she and her witnesses gave statements in Ryan\u2019s case, \u2018The stenographer told us she knew exactly what we were going to say because all the cases are the same.\u2019 …”<\/p>\n
But being dragooned into inoculation, we\u2019re told, is for the children\u2019s own good. Let\u2019s see if that applies in the case of little Kameron Justin Demery, aged two-and-a-half and described by his mother, Jacqueline Bishop, as \u201ca mellow, laid-back\u201d kid.<\/p>\n
According to reporting by Cheryl Romo in the Los Angeles Daily Journal, which covers legal matters for Southern California\u2019s attorneys, Kameron and his twin sister Karissa appeared to be doing fine until one early morning after the Christmas holiday, 1995.<\/p>\n
That was when Karissa was taken to the hospital emergency room by her mom, suffering with what would later be diagnosed as bronchitis.<\/p>\n
The first thing hospital officials requested from Ms. Bishop (then 29) were the children\u2019s immunization records. But since Ms. Bishop had been persuaded by her own mother, a licensed vocational nurse, not to immunize the twins because of the very real health risks, she didn\u2019t have any immunization records.<\/p>\n
The next day, Ms. Bishop received a call from a social worker with the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services. She ended up getting into an argument with the bureaucrat. Next came an unannounced inspection of her Long Beach home (where Ms. Bishop was caring for the children alone, while their father was doing time in state prison.) This resulted in a state finding of \u201cdirty home\u201d being added to the initial report of \u201cmedical neglect\u201d (failure to volunteer for immunizations.)<\/p>\n
Within days came the late-night government raid in which the twins and their seven-year-old brother were seized from Ms. Bishop by brute force.<\/p>\n
The DCFS raid was carried out because the mother \u201cbasically had a personality conflict\u201d with the social worker, contends attorney Mark Wood of Beverly Hills, later retained by the family. \u201cNothing else would explain the ferocity of what happened. They came in with police at 1 a.m.\u201d<\/p>\n
The twins, Kameron and Karissa, were placed in the foster care of a couple who had previously had all foster children in their care removed by the DCFS because of \u201cexcessive discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n
Little Kameron died.<\/p>\n
His state-licensed foster care provider reported his fatal injuries were caused by a fall from a chair.<\/p>\n
Government forensic experts disagreed. Rather, doctors testified at trial, he had been struck six times in the head with a blunt object, most likely his foster mother\u2019s cane. The woman went to prison. Little Kameron Demery became one of six children murdered in 1996 while under the supervision of the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services.<\/p>\n
On Valentine\u2019s Day, 1997, the Juvenile Court ordered Karissa returned to her mother, permanently.<\/p>\n
Ms. Romo does not report whether little Karissa ever got her shots, or whether the Juvenile Court even bothered to ask.<\/p>\n
Was little Kameron Justin Demery one of those kids who was \u201csaved from death\u201d by the medical community\u2019s single-minded, strong-arm promotion of de facto mandatory vaccination?<\/p>\n
Vaccinators claim credit for eliminating even diseases whose serious consequences had already declined by more than 80 percent before the vaccines in question were introduced. They claim ALL the credit for their vaccines — attributing no share of benefits to the introduction of modern sanitation, sanitary engineering, and antibiotics.<\/p>\n
Nor do they choose to acknowledge that according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, clinical trials have demonstrated that varicella vaccine may be as little as 70 percent effective in preventing chicken pox. (Are the 30 percent of kids for whom the vaccine proves ineffective doomed to die of chicken pox? I don\u2019t think so.) Nor do they seem anxious to point out that former employees have sued major vaccine manufacturers in this country, contending the companies falsely certify inflated efficacy rates for their nostrums.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never proposed that vaccines be outlawed, nor that the chance of harm outweighs the potential benefit in every case. I only argue that parents should read the books of Neal Z. Miller, and other sources skeptical of the vaccination orthodoxy, and then be allowed to make their own, informed, decisions.<\/p>\n
And steer clear of doctors who try to deny you that right — a problem which will only grow as medical care is funded less by patients, and more by collectivists in Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
