Well wonder if Admiral Crowe also has interest i this one. Dan Burton
had a grandson 2 years old who was given a vaccine and he happened to be
the one in five that turned autistic due to this one particular vaccine.
This is where the Mob no doubt has invested a lot of money on wall
street - going legitimate. This new meningitis vaccine for babies
sounds like Admiral Crowe's anthrax vaccine, for encephalitis and
anthrax and meningitis are the same family.
There are two cases of encephalitis now in our area, one 14 year old
dieid. Tried to blame a dump with tires stewn about - collecting
water. End result, they do not really know what happened.
A nice HIV vaccine also on drawing board for babies - do they expect
crisis? No but some of othe drugs will be used in "high risk" areas,
meaning black and hispanic. Cui Bono?

Congressional Hearing Exposes Conflicts of Interest

Congressional Hearing
Exposes Conflicts of Interest
When a rotavirus (infant diarrhea) vaccine was suddenly withdrawn from
the market last year, the public was led to believe that it was because
of new information about harmful side effects. At a hearing last week
conducted by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), we learned that other factors
influenced the 1998 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensing and
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendation.
The FDA and CDC use outside advisory committees to consider new
vaccines, and federal laws are supposed to limit conflicts of interest.
It now turns out that half of those on the two key committees voting for
the rotavirus vaccine had financial ties to vaccine manufacturers, such
as being paid as consultants or lobbyists or owning vaccine patents or
stock in pharmaceuticals.
The FDA Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee
(VRBPAC) decides whether vaccines are licensed. The CDC Advisory
Committee on Immunizations Practices (ACIP) decides whether a vaccine
should be included on the Child Immunization Schedule, i.e., put on the
list of mandatory vaccines, a decision that overnight makes the vaccine
immensely profitable.
Most of the work of the CDC advisory committee is done in "working
groups" behind closed doors without public scrutiny. Six of the ten
working groups had financial ties to pharmaceuticals that make rotavirus
vaccines.
In pre-licensure trials for the rotavirus vaccine, some babies suffered
obstructed bowels a week later, some requiring surgery to remove a
portion of the intestine, a painful condition called intussusception.
Nevertheless, the committees approved the vaccine for universal use,
calling these reports statistically insignificant.
Within months, 1.5 million vaccine doses were given to infants. The
Department of Health and Human Services, in its announcement, stated
that "the most common adverse reactions included moderate fever,
increased irritability, and decreased appetite and activity," with no
mention of side effects requiring hospitalization or surgery.
The study data were concealed, and the public did not learn of the
problem until more than 100 cases of intussusception were reported,
including one death.
The Burton hearings provided some answers to help explain this disaster.
When the rotavirus vaccine was approved by the FDA committee, 8 of the
15 members were absent, 2 were excluded, and 4 of the remaining 5 had
conflicts of interest that necessitated waivers.
This was not a quorum so they were joined by 5 temporary members, and
then all voted to approve the vaccine. The committee's own charter
states that temporary members are not normally to exceed 4.
The vaccine was not even considered to be all that effective in
preventing diarrhea in infants. In a U.S. multicenter trial, for
example, the rotavirus vaccine only had a 49% efficacy rate in
preventing rotavirus disease.
The CDC routinely grants conflict-of-interest waivers to every member of
its advisory committee a year at a time, and allows full participation
in the discussions by all members even if they have a financial stake in
the decision.
One member who cast three votes to recommend the rotavirus vaccine owned
a patent for another rotavirus vaccine and admitted that he was paid by
the pharmaceutical industry to travel around the country and teach
doctors that vaccines are safe.
The data about side effects were never made available to the public. The
public still has no access to the actual data concerning side effects of
the rotavirus vaccine or for the controversial chicken pox or hepatitis
B vaccines.
If these new vaccines are safe, there should be no objection to
releasing the actual data that demonstrate this. The obvious incentive
to conceal such data is to hide facts that dispute the public
recommendations.
At the June 15 hearing, officials from the FDA and CDC defended the
various conflicts of interest because waivers were granted. One CDC
official went so far as to suggest that it good to use vaccine industry
insiders on official advisory committees because they are able to vote
based on secret drug-company information!
That is tantamount to letting vaccine industry lobbyists write their own
profitable government mandates, i.e., simply own the process.
It is a great mistake to make vaccine policy based on confidential or
trade secret data.
Science is most reliable when all data and analyses are subject to
public scrutiny, and our political system demands that government policy
decisions be subject to democratic checks and balances.
**************
The whole concept of the government forcing experimental health
treatment on healthy individuals is disturbing to those who value
freedom. Mandatory vaccine policies depend on overwhelming public
acceptance, but public confidence is eroded by conflicts of interest and
secrecy of deliberations and data.
*****************
Government should put all the data, analyses and meeting minutes on a
public web site, and this should include a risk-benefit analysis,
cost-benefit analysis, and a comparison against alternate policies. Only
public data and arguments should be considered.
The CDC should appoint advisory committee members with diverse points of
view. Scientists from other fields, consumer advocates, and even vaccine
critics would greatly improve the quality of the recommendations because
more policy implications would be considered.

A Saba Note: Crowes business was going bust until they made Anthrax
vaccine mandatory and Clinton approved this experimental vaccine to be
used on all troops - they live in fear of Osama bin Laden who worked for
CIA and Sadaam Hussein who once offered cheap oil to USA and was
refused......It is this Congress we must fear with these vaccines - more
and more being pumped into the pure blood of innocent children.....while
at same time profitting from drugs that turn kids into vicious killers?
Like Ritilin and Prozac?
Clinton was in the selling of blood - contaminated with HIV and AIDS
leaving death and blood trail around the world for this blood he sold to
Canada also went to England and to Ireland........more monkies turned
loose but the biggest monkey is on Clinton's back.
