State Votes "NO" on Mandatory Vaccine Issue

                            The Illinois State Board of Health voted to defeat
the chickenpox vaccine
                            mandate. However the board plans to reconsider the
4-3 vote at its March
                            meeting.

                            If forced-shot opposition holds, Dr. John Lumpkin,
director of the Illinois
                            Department of Public Health, could override his
advisory board.

                            There have been 9,000 reports of adverse reactions
to chickenpox vaccine filed
                            with the federal government since 1995. The Food and
Drug Administration
                            includes them in its latest data of 112,699 total
vaccine adverse reaction
                            reports, 15 percent including permanent disability
and death. The vaccine
                            manufacturer has yet to produce long-term safety
studies on the vaccine or its
                            ingredients: aborted fetal tissue cells, fetal
bovine serum and monosodium
                            glutamate.

                            For vaccine-associated injuries and deaths, the
federal government paid out
                            more than $1 billion, which is financed by taxes on
each vaccine dose. As of
                            August 2000, Illinois had 231 compensation claims
including 45 deaths and
                            186 injuries. Vaccine manufacturers, doctors, nurses
and pharmacists remain
                            exempt from liability for injuries and deaths that
follow vaccinations.
