THE POLITICS
OF VACCINATION-II The Policy Of Forcing Hepatitis-B
And Hib Vaccines On India And Pressure To Eradicate Polio--- DR
OMESH BHARATI
The number of vaccine attributed polio victims in
India is anywhere between 30,000 to 300,000 according to media reports. The IMA
has a figure of 85,000, up to 2005, in its website.
Doctors have been "advised" to keep quiet on these issues for "the greater good
of humanity".
It is very sad that no effort is
being made to track, treat and compensate the unfortunate children. GAVI,
UNICEF, Rotary and WHO do not reply to our mails making it plainly evident that
they are least bothered about the health of Indian children. Shame upon them who
wish to profit by killing and maiming little babies.
It is very disturbing that poisons
are being introduced into infants who are not supposed to be fed anything other
than breastmilk during the first six months of their lives. The spread of
cancers, diabetes and other immune disorders in children cannot be hidden any
longer. Countries putting the maximum emphasis on vaccines have the highest rate
of infant mortality. The health of teenagers today is alarming.
We also do not understand how the
voices of Indian doctors are not being heard and instead "foreign experts"
dictate terms in matters of vaccination policy in India. Who are these "experts"
and what influence do they yield to dictate terms? What are these "experts"
doing to ensure compensation and treatment for the millions of vaccine damaged
children? What are they doing to educate the public about vaccine dangers?
You cannot take the "First do no
harm" medical oath and push vaccines at the same time. This is ludicrous. This
is madness. This is utter stupidity. - Jagannath
"In October 1988, Lenita Schafer brought her three-month-old daughter Melissa for her first oral polio vaccination. A month later, while fixing Thanksgiving dinner at her New England home, Lenita began feeling severe back pain. Within 48 hours she was unable to move her legs; 13 weeks after that, she was told she would be in a wheelchair the rest of her life. Lenita had contracted polio by changing her daughter's diaper."--Money Magazine
