Tracking & Forcing Vaccines: Parents Want Choices

by Barbara Loe Fisher

This week, CDC researchers sent out a warning that one in four child under age three in America is "not in compliance" with the CDC vaccine "recommendations" and that "missed doses" or "mistimed" doses is the cause. Some are calling for more vaccine tracking registries that will track children and their parents down to make sure every single one of the 48 doses of 14 vaccines that the CDC says kids must get has been given to every single child. The Los Angeles Times points the finger at "anti-vaccine parents" and urges the California legislature to put an end to the "personal belief"exemption so only doctors adhering to very narrow CDC guidelines for what constitutes a vaccine exemption are allowed to exempt children from vaccination.

The U.S. uses more vaccines than any other country in the world and has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world for young children: 70 to 80 percent of pre-schoolers have been injected with 26 doses of 10 vaccines. That high vaccination rate rises with age to 95 percent or more for six year old children entering kindergarten.

The CDC report lamenting that public health officials have been calculating the vaccine uptake among young children incorrectly comes at a time when the rate of infectious disease is way down but the rate of chronic disease and disability among highly vaccinated children is increasing: 1 in 6 child is learning disabled; 1 in 9 is asthmatic; 1 in 150 develops autism; 1 in 450 has diabetes.

Today, a Gallup poll reveals that half of all Americans report they are "stuck in a cycle of chronic disease" with two thirds of U.S. workers reporting one or more chronic diseases or recurring conditions. Some want to point to "stress" and "overweight" and "smoking" as the cause for the catastrophic high rate of chronic illness among Americans of all ages.

But the public health officials and medical doctors of this country have a lot to answer for and the question everyone should be asking is: Why is the most highly vaccinated population in the world so sick?

Educated health consumers, including informed parents, are taking matters into their own hands. They are choosing healthy lifestyles and wise health care alternatives that do not rely on constant pharmaceutical product use, including using too many vaccines.

Ms. Fisher,
It seems to me that the CDC and drug companies are gearing up for harder battles to force vaccination - I watched a video of Shepard Smith interviewing a doctor on FOX News today and the doctor said it was a "crime not to" vaccinate. And Shepard immediately said, "And it does not cause autism." There are 70 cases of measles in the U.S. in these first four months of 2008, and 3,787 adverse events reported to VAERS in the same time period.

I am sure your readers will love to hear your thoughts on what we can do to protect our rights in the coming weeks/months/years!

Warmly,
Sara

I wanted to leave a comment to say thank you for all of the effort you put into informing everyone about vaccine related issues! I enjoy this blog.

Have you seen the new bill that is entering the House or Senate (not sure which) for debate? It's about vaccines.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-2911

This is the line that frightens me the most:

"The Infant Immunization Improvement Act authorizes funding for effective interventions recommended by the Task Force on Community Preventive Services."

What could that mean?!?

That quote came from the pdf file linked on here under more info:

I would love to know what you thin k of this new legislation. I hope it doesn't pass, but it probably will. I think it ties into the vaccine tracking program the ABC article was talking about.
