Committees on Vaccination Found To Withhold Critical Data On Adverse Reactions From Both Parents and Health Practitioners

Deliberately concealing information from the parents for the sole purpose of getting them to comply with an "official" vaccination schedule could thus be considered as a form of ethical violation or misconduct. That's exactly the behavior exhibited by health authorities for the last 30 years. Official documents obtained from the UK Department of Health (DH) and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) reveal that the British health authorities have been engaging in such practice, apparently for the sole purpose of protecting the national vaccination program.

Vancouver scientist Chris Shaw who is on faculty at the University of British Columbia the Departments of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and Experimental Medicine and the Graduate Program in Neuroscience, and his colleague Lucija Tomljenovic have recently published a carefully parsed and thoroughly peer reviewed paper on vaccine safety.

Despite the cautious and professional tone of the paper, and despite the authors' clear statement that their findings are not in themselves decisive, only pointing to the need for more extensive research into vaccine safety, the paper, published in November 2011 in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry which describes correlations and possible causal links between increased exposure to aluminum salts used as adjuvants in vaccines and increased levels of neurological trouble in exposed populations, seems to inflame angry and punitive responses in some quarters.

Tomljenovic provided evidence to show that the JCVI made continuous efforts to withhold critical data on severe adverse reactions and contraindications to vaccinations to both parents and health practitioners in order to reach overall vaccination rates which they deemed were necessary for "herd immunity", a concept which with regards to vaccination, and contrary to prevalent beliefs, does not rest on solid scientific evidence.

As a result of such vaccination policy promoted by the JCVI and the DH, many children have been vaccinated without their parents being disclosed the critical information about demonstrated risks of serious adverse reactions, one that the JCVI appeared to have been fully aware of. It would also appear that, by withholding this information, the JCVI/DH neglected the right of individuals to make an informed consent concerning vaccination. By doing so, the JCVI/DH may have violated not only International Guidelines for Medical Ethics (i.e., Helsinki Declaration and the International Code of Medical Ethics) but also, their own Code of Practice .

The transcripts of the JCVI meetings also show that some of the Committee members had extensive ties to pharmaceutical companies and that the JCVI frequently co-operated with vaccine manufacturers on strategies aimed at boosting vaccine uptake. Some of the meetings at which such controversial items were discussed were not intended to be publicly available, as the transcripts were only released later, through the Freedom of Information Act (FOI). These particular meetings are denoted in the transcripts as "commercial in confidence", and reveal a clear and disturbing lack of transparency, as some of the information was removed from the text (i.e., the names of the participants) prior to transcript release under the FOI section at the JCVI website (for example, JCVI CSM/DH (Committee on the Safety of Medicines/Department of Health) Joint Committee on Adverse Reactions Minutes 1986-1992.

The documents reveal that vaccinations don't work, and that they cause the disease they are supposed to prevent. They also indicate scientific fraud, that government ‘experts' are working to conceal information. The 45 page paper was published in 2011 and presented at the BSEM scientific conference organised by Dr David Freed.

They resolved to publish the proceedings online, and Dr. Freed worked with the speakers to put papers into an agreed and acceptable format. The next day he suddenly died. What follows are the last words that he wrote. He speaks from the heart about science, about corruption in high places, about the ethics of patient care, and above all about truth.

Assertions

In summary, the transcripts of the JCVI/DH meetings from the period from 1983 to 2010 appear to show that:

1) Instead of reacting appropriately by re-examining existing vaccination policies when safety concerns over specific vaccines were identified by their own investigations, the JCVI either a) took no action, b) skewed or selectively removed unfavourable safety data from public reports and c) made intensive efforts to reassure both the public and the authorities in the safety of respective vaccines;

2) Significantly restricted contraindication to vaccination criteria in order to increase vaccination rates despite outstanding and unresolved safety issues;

3) On multiple occasions requested from vaccine manufacturers to make specific amendments to their data sheets, when these were in conflict with JCVI's official advices on immunisations;

4) Persistently relied on methodologically dubious studies, while dismissing independent research, to promote vaccine policies;

5) Persistently and categorically downplayed safety concerns while over-inflating vaccine benefits;

6) Promoted and elaborated a plan for introducing new vaccines of questionable efficacy and safety into the routine paediatric schedule, on the assumption that the licenses would eventually be granted;

7) Actively discouraged research on vaccine safety issues;

8) Deliberately took advantage of parents' trust and lack of relevant knowledge on vaccinations in order to promote a scientifically unsupported immunisation program which could put certain children at risk of severe long-term neurological damage;

We dedicate these proceedings to David Freed. We have lost a wise man and a friend.


The issue of vaccination and its risks arouse strong emotions, not least of fear - fear of public attack for speaking out, for one. These are the conference presentations that we are permitted to publish. Several booked speakers withdrew, for various reasons, so are not posted. Some speakers were unable to attend, but were keen for their papers to be included in the proceedings; they are posted here.

EDITORIAL

1. The Health Hazards Of Disease Prevention-html

1. The Health Hazards Of Disease Prevention-pdf

Dr David Freed

It seems to me that the ethical background to vaccination - giving potentially harmful medications to healthy individuals in the hope of keeping them that way - has never been clearly addressed... Who gave us the right (a) to invade the bodies of healthy people who never asked us to, and (b) to do it not only without explanation of the possible risks, but in some countries even applying coercive pressures, denying the existence of the risks, and suppressing relevant information?

PRESENTATIONS

2. Vaccines, Atopy & allergy: Problems & Solutions

Dr Richard Halvorsen

Time and time again I have heard from parents how they have been patronised, bullied and accused of not doing the best for their children, when they have simply questioned the necessity of the large number of vaccines that are being given to their children at such an early age.... The risk of severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in a child who has caught chickenpox under eight years of age is 4% of that of a child who has not contracted the illness.

3. The vaccination policy and the Code of Practice of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI): are they at odds?

Lucija Tomljenovic

Deliberately concealing information from parents for the sole purpose of getting them to comply with an "official" vaccination schedule could be considered as a form of ethical violation or misconduct. Official documents obtained from the UK Department of Health (DH) and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) reveal that the British health authorities have been engaging in such practice for the last 30 years, apparently for the sole purpose of protecting the national vaccination program.

4. Labels of Convenience: Are Labels of Child Abuse being used to cover up Vaccine Damage?

Christina England

Just over ten years ago my family became one of the families in the child abuse statistics. In 1999, I was accused of suffering from Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy. In my case many of the reports and evidence ascertaining to my children were not read and many mistakes were made. I adopted both of my children and was accused of making up and causing the disabilities that they both had before I ever met them. This would not have happened if reports had been read in full.

5. Global Concerns about HPV Vaccines

Leslie Carol Botha and Freda Birrell

We believe in science-based medicine. Our primary goal is to provide the information necessary for you to make informed decisions regarding your health and well-being. We also provide referrals to helpful resources for those unfortunate enough to have experienced vaccine-related injuries.

6. The Autism Epidemic & The Pill

Dr Ellen CG Grant

The use of hormonal contraceptives rose steeply in the 1970s, becoming nearly universal; the incidence of autism and ASD rose steeply in the 1980s. Exogenous hormones have been shown to be genotoxic in their own right, but they are also associated with accumulation of DNA-damaging toxins, and ASD subjects have decreased detoxifying ability.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

The pathogenesis of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in the development of cervical cancer: are HPV vaccines a safe and effective management strategy?

Judy Wilyman

The decision to use an HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer was based upon circumstantial evidence: assumptions. HPV vaccines have been promoted to women on selective information. This vaccine is an HPV vaccine not a cervical cancer vaccine. There is inconclusive evidence it will reduce any cervical cancer and the long -term risks of using this vaccine have not been determined.

Animal Vaccination Concerns: Vaccine-Associated Auto-Immune And Other Diseases

Michael W. Fox

The vaccinated, but not the non-vaccinated, dogs developed autoantibodies to many of their own biochemicals, including fibronectin, laminin, DNA, albumin, cytochrome C, transferrin, cardiolipin and collagen. Autoantibodies to cardiolipin are frequently found in genetically susceptible patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and also in individuals with other autoimmune diseases. The widespread use of multiple modified live and new generation genetically engineered vaccines in food animals raised under cruel, stressful and disease-promoting intensive 'factory' farm conditions that have become epicenters for global zoonoses and food-born illness, are also examined.

The UK Health Select Committee Report ‘The Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry' published April 2005

Doris M Jones MSc

For almost a century patients have taken prescribed drugs on medical advice and on trust, believing them to be based on sound and reliable science and playing a vital part in healing processes. Now huge question marks hang over many if not all these assumptions...
