"PROBLEMS AT VACCINE PLANT WERE PERVASIVE, FDA KNEW"

THE KANSAS CITY STAR ^ | Nov.7th, 2004 | Mike McGraw

 American regulators knew five years ago that 
cotamination at the now infamous vaccine plant i Liverpool, England, was both pervasive and persistent, documents show.
 In fact, evidence was so overwhelming that regulators should have shut down the plant or sought alternative flu vccine sources long ago,say some vaccine experts and pharmac. experts
who have reviewed the documents.

I've recently found that the 
CDC receives funding FROM vaccine producers; this is a clear conflict of interest and public trust in the CDC's decisions. 
The CDC DETERMINES the number and
types of vaccines which THEN 
are "officially" recommended for infants/ children. 
*
 This is beside the point of this msge. 
*
 There is DIFINITIVE PROOF that 
Thimerosal™ containing 49 per cent
ethyl-mercury is DIRECTLY LINKED
to AUTISM in children; together with 
evidence of links to other brain disorders, Alsheimers and A.D.D.. 
* 
  Here's a brief of some major points contained in the article EXCERPTED below: 
*
       Mr. Boyd Haley, Chair of 
the Chemistry Dept. at Univ. of KY and an EXPERT on toxic metals states 
    1.) "...Thimerosal suppresses the immune system, and if you have some elderly person with a compromised immune system, a FLU SHOT with Thimerosal can pose a risk," Haley said... 
*
    2.) {Thimerosal}
"...will harm living tissue..." 
    3.) {Thimerosal} ..."We did some experiments with human
brain tissue 
and
it was dramatic," Haley said. " It
 penetrates proteins in the brain.
It is TOXIC to neurons and enzymes."...

  The following is a small excerpt of a much larger article: 
* 
"...Before 1980, autism was diagnosed in 1 in 10,000 children; in 2002, the Nat'l. Insts. of Health raised that figure to 1 in 250 children. The Autism Society of America now estimates that autism disorders are growing by 10 percent or more annually. 
  In a sad twist, scientists increasingly 
believe that mercury-laced vaccines meant to protect children from illnesses are at the root of this spike..." 
*
 The PROOF is a 20 page report of a 
scientific study published in
The Journal of American Physicians and
Surgeons by Dr. Mark Geier
available at http://www.jpands.org/ 
*
Think of the MILLIONS of elderly and 
"at risk" children being singled-out 
for FLU SHOTS with this mercury brain toxin, THIMEROSAL, included. ONLY MONEY and POWER and PROFITS could be preventing this 
VITAL DATA from being reported by
major media outlets.

 Will you also remain silent ?

Let me further clarify; I was remarking on the "Autism in a needle" portion of this post.

"American regulators knew five years ago that [contamination] at the now infamous vaccine plant i Liverpool, England, was both pervasive and persistent, documents show."

Uh, that would be the Clinton administration, right? Any chance this information would not be passed to the incoming Bushies in order to make them look bad? Sounds just like the bureaucratic games going on now at the CIA.

5 years ago? Like, say, 1999? Yet another link between Clinton administration failures and the flu vaccine crisis?

I can't find the KC Star article on that site, but I think this needs to be challenged.

The FDA regulates drug production under 21 CFR Part 11, and if they find violations or non-compliance,

an "inspectional observation (483) or warning letter is sent to the company. This is serious stuff, here is an example:

http://www.fda.gov/foi/warning_letters/g1822d.pdf

If 483s or warning letters were written, someone should produce them. Otherwise this smacks of a blame-game.

Restore the free market place to the vaccine industry and these shortages will end. They are recurring with increasing frequency ever since the Government Vaccine Purchase Program was instituted.

From the Galen Institute:

The Centers for Disease Control says that an average of 36,000 people die every year from the flu. Tens of thousands of people now are at risk.

While Sen. John Kerry is blaming the Bush administration for the shortage, the crisis actually is the result of a series of policy decisions dating back at least a decade that have led to a diminished manufacturing capability for all vaccines in the U.S.

In 1994, First Lady Hillary Clinton led an effort to enact the Vaccines for Children program. As a result, the government now purchases 60 percent of all pediatric vaccines through "government negotiated prices."

The government has dictated prices for pediatric vaccines to manufacturers that are often below costs, and many suppliers have been forced out of the market, unable to make a profit at 15 cents a dose, in some cases.

At the same time, the cost of manufacturing and the cost of complying with increasingly burdensome regulation have gone up.

Other manufacturers watched and saw that this clearly is not a good business to be in.

Just two decades ago, there were a dozen companies making vaccines, most of which have left the market or been driven out by a variety of pressures.

Henry Miller, a physician and former FDA official with Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, said this "should be the golden age of vaccine development" because new biologic technologies are available. "But,” he adds, “there is scant enthusiasm for vaccine development in the drug industry."

This is a clear warning to those who would try to impose price controls on the pharmaceutical industry. They would predictably force many companies out of business, supplies would be dislocated and even vanish, and, most importantly, research for tomorrow's medical miracles would dry up.

...

In the meantime, political leaders will be focused on making sure that the flu vaccine shortage isn't repeated next year. But rather than using even more heavy-handed techniques, they should recognize the damage that burdensome regulation and government-negotiated prices have already done to the vaccine industry and instead, find ways of providing new incentives to keep vaccine manufacturers in business.

If you recall, we had vaccine shortages the year they implemented this junk, and at the same time we were destroying vaccines the government had hoarded in warehouses. Another part of the Clinton legacy.

If only we would have been smart enough to elect Kerry, the blind would see, the deaf would hear, folks would be jumping out of wheelchairs, and Edwards would have declared the flu obsolete. /sarc.
