CDC Has Plans to Force Smallpox Vaccine on the USThe CDC held a meeting in Atlanta on May 30, 2002 in which there were over 300 "invited guests"--including the Head of the National Police Association and the Head of National Fireman's Association--and will be conducting a series of meetings over the next two weeks "to solicit comments on the use of smallpox vaccine before and after a potential smallpox outbreak or bioterroist attack." (http://www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/pressrel/a020530.htm ) This is unprecedented. When did the CDC ever care what the general public thinks about its policies? The general public does not know the dangers of smallpox vaccine and has been conditioned to think that it is "just another vaccine." Please be sure to read the Special Report on smallpox vaccination from the National Vaccine Information Center. Meetings will be held June 6 in NYC and SF; June 8 in St. Louis; June 11 in San Antonio. The Nat. Academy of Science will meet in Washington, D.C. on June 15 and then on June 19-20, the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP) will meet in Atlanta and will allow 4 hours of public comment. Then ACIP will vote on recommendations for starting smallpox vaccination.....or not. After the CDC submits its final recommendations to The White House, Tommy Thompson and Tom Ridge will have the "final say" including veto power on the recommendations. Imagine that: they are politicians -- not doctors or scientists. So, the CDC is trying to find a medium between being "politically correct" and public safety. Insider word has it that Tom Ridge wants to start vaccinating First responders. This has the potential to be a major disaster. The smallpox virus would be released back into the general circulation -- as a preemptive move based only on a perceived threat of potential terrorism. There are serious, potentially fatal side effects associated with this vaccine, especially for patients who are immunosuppressed: those with diagnosed and undiagnosed HIV/AIDS; on steroids such as prednisone; have cancer; have had an organ transplant; or have eczema. The virus can easily be passed from someone who has been vaccinated to one of these people. The CDC is suggesting "ring vaccination" as a means of containment in the event of an attack, but there is a caveat: 100% compliance is necessary to make it work...meaning, that even those with medical contraindications will most likely be vaccinated. This truly has the potential
for deadly consequences. There was a meeting June 4 at that Kato Institute and the head of the American Public Health Association has taken the position of pushing for immediate mass immunization of everyone in the country. It's going to get worse..... we need to circle the wagons! If I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny
