Most things in life are not black and white issues. V*****e effictiveness and safety is one of these issues.
Many of you have posted on the effectiveness of v*****es in the elimination of diseases. A compelling case can be made that the fatality rate for virtually all diseases was being reduced prior to the introduction of v*****es due to improvements in sanitation, clean water, and better nutrition. In the past, I had posted charts to this effect.
Putting that issue aside for a moment, lets consider the trade-off between safety and effectiveness. How much do you trade one for the other?
"The National Childhood V*****e Injury Act of 1986 compels DHHS to take responsibility for improving efficacy and safety of v*****es; and charges them with continuous monitoring and improving of a*****e e***t reporting. The DHHS is also tasked with providing a report on improvements by the Mandate for Safer Childhood V*****e clause to the Congress at least every 2 years.
The DHHS has failed to meet even the most basic aspects of these important duties entrusted to them by failing to file a single report for the past three decades. It has been over 30 years since NVICA was put into place and entrusted to the DHHS to safeguard children, despite being the agency tasked with the responsibility of investigating and improving safety they have not done as much as to raise a finger towards v*****e safety."
"Robert F. Kennedy Jr teamed up with Del Bigtree of the Informed Consent Action Network to take on the Department of Health and Human Services for v*****e safety violations and they have won. Their lawsuit has brought forth evidence that v*****e safety has been neglected for over 30 years, and as we know it is nothing but a sham, showing that the government agencies we are to trust are not doing their jobs to ensure and improve the safety of immunizations."
The following statement (bottom of screen) by the HHS was submitted as part of the Stipulation of Settlement in this case. Read it carefully.
In spite of what you may have been led to believe, there has never been long term studies done on the issue of v*****e safety. Do you not find that ironic that for the past 30 years, this issue has never been addressed by the FDA, the CDC, or any other branch of government that is captive to the commercial interests of the pharmaceutical industry.
While this is one person's opinion, you would do well to consider what Sen Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has to say on this issue:
"The CDC is actually a v*****e company."
"The WHO is a sock puppet for the pharmaceutical industry."
"The four companies that make all seventy-two of these v*****es are all convicted felons [who] in the last decade have paid over 35 billion dollars in damages and penalties and fines...for k*****g hundreds of thousands of Americans."
"Show me one study that favorably compares v******ted children to unv******ted children and shows that the v******ted children are actually healthier, and I will post that on my website and I will get out of this business."

I do remember this, and it in my mind solved nothing. What it do do is was cause the hiring of more people to by our government to correct the problem,which as you know didn't solve the problem, it just got worse. Several reason for this. First teams of lawyers were brought in to set up guide lines that just allowed the work to continue and to spread the responsibility around and extra people were brought into the system in different division's with the ability to divert responsibility. This is not uncommon, and has become common practise of our government. Then you have politicians the brag that they have created more jobs and made the economy better. BUT the fact that they only created jobs in the federal system using tax payers money to do so only gave them reasons to raise tax's for people that just suffel paper. Not to mention if they stay long enough to retire, they hire yet more people to take there place and ad that to the budget along with retire for those that left there work force forcing yet another tax to the already stressed budget.
