The Editor,

Dear Sir,
 
The subject of vaccines has become controversial, and also a debate in medical ethics, as a number of childhood disorders, as well as adult autoimmune disorders, are being linked with vaccines and their various ingredients, whether used as adjuvants, fillers or decontaminants. In this situation it becomes imperative that long term studies on vaccine after effects be conducted in India. The vaccine manufacturers and their lobbyists elsewhere will not do that, for obvious reasons.
 
It will not be proper for Indian doctors to ignore the controversy as they have a responsibility towards the population of India that cannot be shaken off citing foreign research material that denies the link between vaccines and various disorders like autism, ADHD, PDDs, SIDS, other neurological disorders, diabetes, various forms of cancers and AIDS. This is besides vaccine attributed polio and tuberculosis. The ethics behind surreptious testing of anti-fertility vaccines despite the severe side effects is also a case in point.
 
I have submitted a petition to the Health Ministry on the topic. Will you kindly consider it for publication? I have included only the basic apprehensions. Vaccines can effect a person at deeper levels than can be imagined by the medical community.
 
I feel that the crime graph and incidents of adoloscent crimes, date rapes and ragging too will come down if vaccines are discontinued. That vaccines affect the emotions and alter the personality of individuals to bring out the sadistic side has been studied and reported by independant researchers.
 
The mail produced below has been forwarded to many eminent medical and scientific members of various medical boards and institutions in India. It has been praised by leading doctors and paediatricians in private. GAVI and WHO officials (to whom I have also drafted a separate mail) have preferred to remain silent on the issue.
 
Thus it is obvious that the anomalies will not be corrected unless the medical community in India takes a proactive stance on the issue, which they should considering that the health of infants and children of our country lies in their hands.
 
The doctors, scientists and other officials I have marked a copy of this letter to are in no way connected to my campaign.
 
Yours faithfully,

Respected Sir,
 
We have come to know that a review committee meeting on the vaccination policy is upcoming. Being a vaccine damage victim, I do not at all favour the concept of mass vaccinations, but realising that this evil will not be eradicated I would like to put forth the following points which, I feel, should be discussed in the above meeting;
 
1. Mercury in vaccines.
   --------------------------------
This will be a main topic for discussion but we wish to emphasise that mercury is not the only harmful ingredient of most vaccines. There are other heavy metals like Aluminium Hydroxide, Aluminium Sulphate and also neurotoxins, carcinogens, immunosuppressants, and animal products. There is also the question of antibiotics in vaccines which are delivered intramuscularly without a skin test.
 
2. Human and animal serum in vaccines.
   -------------------------------------------------------------
As per vaccine researchers, there is no such thing as "uncontaminated serum". When the contamination in green monkey serum in polio vaccines leading to the human transfer of simian viruses SV 20 and SV 40 among 60 such viruses, was detected, the responsible scientists countered that had they used any other serum it would have probably introduced virus from some other species instead. As serum from monkeys, rabbits, pigs, cows, chicken, egg,  and tissues from human fetuses is routinely used in vaccines, this aspect of vaccines should be an important subject for discussion. This is highly essential considering the widespread prevalence of animal induced diseases like bird flu, mad-cow disease, swine flu, and other scourges like AIDS.
 
3. Genetically Modified Viruses.
    ---------------------------------------------
Gene technology is in its infancy and many anomalies have come to the fore. The use of genetically modified viruses is therefore a very questionable procedure. The use of live viruses, including attenuated viruses, also should be debated.
 
4. Combination vaccines.
    -----------------------------------
It has been observed, in countries where human life is considered important, that combination vaccines like MMR, DPT etc are more dangerous than the rest. This issue should be taken up and the use of separate vaccines for each disorder should be considered.
 
5.More tests needed on vaccines.
   -------------------------------------------------
Vaccines are routinely tested for only 48 hours and against another vaccine, not a placebo. Is this adequate? If the effect of vaccines is known to exist for life then is it not obvious that the side effects too could be long term? What are the tests, if any, that have been conducted on the long term effects of vaccinations? The other tests that are absolutely necessary are;
 
A. The effects of the ingredients of vaccines, singly and in combination.
B. The effects of multiple vaccinations.
C. The amount of total vaccine ingredients that are injected into children during
    the childhood immunisation procedure and its cumulative effect.
D. The effects of vaccines on the sick, the pregnant, the immunodeficient, those
    suffering from inveterate skin problems, and on the children of parents suffering
    from chronic autoimmune disorders.
E. Testing a vaccinated population vis a vis a non vaccinated group to know the long
    term effects of vaccines.
 
6. Role of acute childhood illnesses in strengthening a developing immune system.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been observed in medical circles that eruptive acute illnesses like chicken pox and measles have rectified imbalances in the immune system and have helped patients recover from psoriasis. This raises a vital question, are common childhood illnesses an exercise in forming a strong and well developed immune system? If yes, then we are doing a great disservice by trying to eradicate these normally occurring illnesses. Not all diseases are to be combated in an war like fashion. The paediatricians of yore advised rest, change in diet, careful nursing and common immune system boosting methods to make the patient comfortable and help him recover early. The watchword was caution and minimum intervention. When we push more than 20 shots of toxic vaccines into children we are not exactly exercising caution. The spread of autoimmune disorders akin to epidemics should make us wary. Are these a result of tinkering with the immune system via childhood vaccines?
 
7. Building public awareness on probable vaccine dangers.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we are all aware, the common man in India is blissfully unaware of the downside of the vaccination procedure. The medical industry prefers this ignorance as education on this aspect will make many, if not all, wary of vaccines. It is well known that health workers, vaccine researchers, and employees involved directly in the manufacture of vaccines usually shy away from them, knowing fully well the pitfalls. Why then should the public be kept in the dark about vaccine dangers? Is this not a great injustice that should immediately be rectified? The statement of mainstream doctors that the new vaccine policy should be framed without "creating a scare" is an indication of their utter callousness, lack of concern and disregard for safety.
 
8. Informed Consent.
    ---------------------------
Like in the civillised countries, in India too, all vaccines should be given only after obtaining signatures from parents that they are willing to vaccinate their children after duly considering the dangers involved. All the probable vaccine after effects should be clearly spelt out in these forms and read out and explained to illiterate parents so that they are not forced to blindly sign the declaration. We have also submitted a physicians warranty on safety of vaccines to your goodself to be signed by the physician before delivering the vaccine so that the parents can be sure about the safety of vaccines.
 
9. Acknowledging vaccine adverse effects and training doctors.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we are acutely aware no doctor will ever acknowledge that vaccines can cause adverse reactions. This situation should change. Doctors should be educated about all the probable after effects of vaccines and how to tackle them. They should maintain records of all vaccine adverse effects noticed and a national database should be formed in line with the VAERS system adopted in the USA.
 
What about a skin test being performed before the vaccines are given? This may save many a life especially from anaphylactic shock and seizures.
 
10. Compensating vaccine damage victims.
   ---------------------------------------------------------------
Compensation is a must. Most vaccine damage victims are incapacitated for life. The government should not only compensate monetarily, but also take care of these victims as best as possible for life. A national vaccine damage compensation fund as well as an expert committee should immediately be formed for this purpose.
 
11. Should infants be vaccinated?
    -----------------------------------------------
Why do we have to vaccinate children at their infancy? Can the vaccines not be shifted to a more mature age?
 
Our country recognises all the major systems of treatment. But by vaccinating children and introducing in them the vaccine dyscrasia we render them incapable of healing by other modalities as an unnatural and unstudied disease state is introduced. Should we not give the children a chance to decide whether they should risk the vaccines? Why inject babies who cannot describe their pain and anguish?
 
The vaccination procedure makes a mockery of a persons right to choose the modality of treatment he prefers. It is an infringement on his right to good health.
 
Sir, we hope you will consider all the above points during the vaccination review committee meeting.
 
May God Bless You.
 
Respectfully yours,
Jagannath Chatterjee,
Health Activist

breaking eggs. But the eggs being broken are small, helpless, and innocent babies, while the omelette is being enjoyed by the pediatricians and vaccine manufacturers. - Harris L. Coulter, PhD
