November 30, 2003 - Autism turns sons into strangers - The Cleveland Plain Dealer

Workshop on Development of Clinical Trial Plan for Pandemic Inluenza Vaccines - CBER/FDA

November 13, 2003 - Statement of William Egan, Ph.D., Acting Director, Office of Vaccine Research and Review, CBER, FDA Before the Subcommittee on Wellness and Human and Human Rights, U.S. House of Representatives (re: SV40 and polio vaccine) - FDA - "Although scientists have not reached consensus on the potential risks posed by SV40 and whether it may contribute to causing some types of tumors in humans, the one thing we all agree on is that poliovirus vaccine has provided an enormous public health benefit and has practically eradicated this horrible disease. As with all medical products, there are potential known and unknown risks with any vaccine. FDA will continue its efforts to help ensure the safety of all vaccines and protect the public health."

For more on the question of SV40 and polio vaccine go to Scandals: The Institute of Medicine Review Of SV40 Contamination of Polio Vaccine and Cancer, SV40: an emerging pathogen that's been around for fifty years (BioMedNet - requires registration); Scandals: The Thimerosal/SV40 Connection  - Public Health's Ongoing Scandal; Childhood exposure to simian virus 40-contaminated poliovirus vaccine and risk of AIDS-associated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; and Oral Presentation of Barbara Loe Fisher before the Subcommittee on Human Rights and Wellness, U.S. House Government Reform Committee on 9/10/03.

National Autism Association

 

National Autism Association - Action Center - action of the week

Visceral - A Medical Research Charity for Intestinal Disease - www.visceral.org - "Objects - The objects of Visceral are the promotion of education and research into the study and cure of gastro-intestinally mediated disease, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and an increasingly common combination of gastrointestinal disease with a regressive developmental disorder (autistic enterocolitis) through making grants to appropriate institutions and individuals."

November 30, 2003 - Japan lags behind in taking measures against measles - The Asahi Shimbun - "Previously, the antibody created from measles vaccination replicated itself whenever the carrier was exposed to the disease. But exposure to measles has decreased as the number of cases of the disease has fallen. Therefore, the antibody simply wears off...Experts also note that vaccines produced in Japan are less effective than in other countries because Japanese drug makers try to minimize side effects. In addition, different types of measles viruses are increasing, and vaccines simply do not work for around 3 percent to 5 percent of people, they say."

For more on this "boosting of immunity" by circulating virus, go to Scandals: Playing With Fire - It's Not EASY To Fool Mother Nature and Scandals: Don't Worry, Be Happy.

For more on how other countries seem to pay more attention to vaccine side effects go to Scandals: Vaccine-related infant deaths - When is enough, enough?

November 30, 2003 - Hospitals kept quiet on cause of infant deaths - Star-Telegram - "Two years later, the hospital learned that Rachel was among dozens of premature babies nationwide after being given E-Ferol Aqueous Solution, an intravenous vitamin E preparation intended to help prevent blindness.  But the hospital didn't notify White of the finding.  In fact, it would be 11 more years before she learned why her daughter died."

Comment:  What else aren't we being told?

November 30, 2003 - Survey finds 1 in 4 five-year-olds have developmental problems - www.abc.net.au - "DAVID HARDAKER: It seems there's something seriously wrong with our children if a new study from Perth is to be believed. The study of a group of five year olds found that one-quarter have developmental problems which could lead to more serious problems later in life."

Comment:  Can this be true?  If so, how long before this terrible situation is described as "normal", which it may well have become, and dismissed as a problem.  When will what has become normal instead be compared both to what used to be normal and what is optimal?

November 30, 2003 - New Campaign To Market Tough-Sell FluMist - by Sherri Tenpenny, DO - Online Vaccines Conference @ www.redflagsdaily.com
