Another Excerpt from Dr. Richard Moskowitz's New Book on VaccinationBoston homeopath and family medicine doctor, Richard Moskowitz, MD, has always been an important writer in the area of health, homeopathy, and vaccination. His new book, Vaccines: A Reappraisal is now available on Amazon. Happily, in advance of the book release, he shared a series of book excerpts with the homeopathic community. I asked and was granted his permission to share them with you too. Enjoy! From Chapter 8: The Vaccine Court. "In 1986, in response to the sadness and outrage of the parents whose children had died or suffered brain damage after being vaccinated, and the loud public outcry on their behalf, Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, the wording of which was populist in tone, outwardly sympathetic to the needs of these devastated families, and promised speedy and efficient relief. The back-story was that the industry threatened to stop making vaccines altogether unless Congress agreed to exempt them from legal liability for whatever damages resulted from them. Thanks to this maneuver, the promised remedy of easy, swift, and generous remuneration of victims was quickly transformed into its opposite, an adversarial 'Vaccine Court' process that was rigged against them by adopting the industry's minimal safety standards that had created the problem in the first place, in effect guaranteeing that very few claimants ever win significant compensation or relief. As with the industry's own safety trials, the criteria for determining that adverse events are vaccine-caused are so stringent that in practice they are rarely satisfied:
1. the exact chronology must be known;
Chronology is difficult to establish with chronic diseases, which tend to develop insidiously and therefore fall beyond the time limit. Restricting adverse events to those already recognized and linked to specific vaccines not only eliminates the possibility of learning anything new, but diverts attention from the real culprit, the cumulative effect of all vaccines, i. e., of the vaccination process itself. 'Biological plausibility' effectively rules out autoimmune diseases, since they have never been satisfactorily explained. I'm all for laboratory confirmation, and that is precisely what Dr. Wakefield's elegant biopsy specimens provided, as a result of which his opponents have had to resort to vilifying him personally. The positive-rechallenge requirement is both impractical and dangerous, since anyone crippled by their shots is likely to fare even worse the next time, while those who die from them are obviously unavailable for further doses. As for placebo-controlled trials, it is pure hypocrisy to insist on them after the fact, when both the CDC and the industry's own safety trials excluded them on principle before they were even approved for general use. VAERS receives an average of 11,500 reports of adverse reactions every year. Massive under-reporting, which the CDC estimates at 10% of the real number, and the FDA puts at 1%, would suggest a more realistic average of 115,000 to 1,150,000 children annually who suffer adverse reactions that their parents believe to have been caused by a vaccine: an enormous range, yes, but even the lower figure is more than enough to discredit the myth that vaccines are remarkably safe, unless you believe that aggrieved parents are either lying or stupid, and that what happened to their children was a coincidence or didn't really happen at all." |
