This Is the Way One Father Told His Pediatrician “No” to Vaccines#iBelieve#retweet#family

What informed parents, and how fantastic that they are looking out for their baby’s best interests!

 What does an informed parent look like? We’ll show you.

Below is a letter written by Bob O’Kane, a concerned parent, to his pediatrician about vaccines and the danger they pose to his child. This letter is one great example of how to approach your doctor, especially if you have looked into the matter further and are uncomfortable with their stance on the topic.

The name of the doctor has been intentionally omitted.


Doctor XXX,

My wife and I would like to say it was an absolute pleasure to meet you. We thank you for taking the time with us the other day to discuss our beautiful little daughter Rylan.

I was wondering if I could take a moment to discuss something with you real quick regarding the notes I read this evening in her file. Please note, this is a very calm letter and not meant to start a debate in any way. We value your profession and position.

That being said, It’s in my opinion that the some of the comments are a bit misleading and was wondering if you could add this email to your notes…

Controversy has erupted in western Canada after public school nurses reportedly vaccinated a 14-year-old student without her parents’ consent. CBC.ca reports that the Bootsma family of British Columbia is furious and demanding answers after their ninth-grader was pulled out of class one day and coerced into getting the combination DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) vaccine without a parental consent form or even parental notification.

Utah health official bans Gardasil, stirring controversy #Gardasil #One Less #HPV

Public health » Utah’s Southwest Health Department says Gardasil is too expensive and questions its effectiveness.

Thank you Dr. David Blodgett, you are a Hero among us.

 Citing low demand, high costs — and questioning the benefits, Utah’s Southwest Public Department of Health does not stock or recommend Gardasil, the vaccine against HPV, the cancer-causing human papilloma virus.

 

The decision to exclude the vaccine from its public health clinics in Beaver, Iron, Garfield, Kane and Washington counties was made years ago, not by the area’s Board of Health, but by the agency’s director, physician David Blodgett.

 

Demand for Gardasil, or the HPV vaccine, varies across Utah. The vaccine offers the best protection to girls and boys who receive all three doses by age 11 or 12, in time to develop immunity before they become sexually active, federal health officials say.

10.9 percent of youth between ages 12 and 17 had received one dose of the three-dose vaccine as of 2012; 6.7 percent had received two doses and 4.2 percent had received three doses.

17 percent of youth between ages 12 and 17 years of age had received one dose of the three-dose vaccine; 11.1 percent had received two doses; and 7.3 percent had received three doses.

“The backlash and sentiment against it was strong enough that there’s no reason to go there,” Blodgett explained. “No one wants it and it’s too expensive when we’re not funded to provide it.”

 

But in light of Utah’s dismal HPV vaccination rate, Blodgett’s decision is stirring new debate in public health circles.

 

The vaccine isn’t mandated in Utah. But the Utah Department of Health has been recommending it for preteen girls since 2006, and for boys since 2011.

 

At 42 percent, Utah ranks lowest in the nation for completion of the three-injection series among girls who start it. The national rate is 71 percent, according to the National Immunization Survey. There isn’t enough data on boys to publish.

 

Reasons for the slow uptake are varied, including concerns that giving the vaccine at such a young age, by 11 or 12, is a license to be promiscuous — which research has disputed, said William Cosgrove, a pediatrician in Murray and a member of the Utah Scientific Immunization Advisory Committee.

 

For a senior health official to downplay the benefits of a life-saving vaccine is “highly unethical,” said Cosgrove.

 

Gardasil is safe and more than 95 percent effective at preventing four sexually transmitted viruses responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancer and 90 percent of genital warts, he said. It’s also proven effective at preventing throat, penile and anal cancers.

 

“Adolescents face an 80 percent chance of being infected by one or more of these viruses,” said Cosgrove.

The three-shot series can retail for $360, but is fully covered by private insurance and provided free of charge to low-income families — and public health clinics — through the federal Vaccines for Children program.

“To be dissuaded by cost issues, or to not stock the vaccine due to low public demand, is disingenuous, especially for someone with responsibilities to protect the public,” said Cosgrove. “I believe the real medical issues here are clouded by a moralistic belief system that precludes any frank discussion about sexuality in adolescents.”

Blodgett cites other problems with Gardasil, namely that it was fast-tracked through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a belief that its benefits were oversold by drug maker Merck.

“The science wasn’t good… We had physicians in our community arguing that we not make it available,” said Blodgett.

HPV is “absolutely a risk for cervical cancer,” but it’s not the only risk, he said, arguing the vaccine cuts risk by 17 percent. Cancers caused by HPV are extremely rare and immunization comes with no guarantee for long-term protection; women are still supposed to get regular Pap smears to test for the virus, he said.

Weighed against the vaccine’s risks, “the public isn’t buying it,” he contends. “It’s eroding public trust in immunization programs.”

TriCounty Health Department, spanning Daggett, Duchesne and Uintah counties, makes the vaccine available only with a doctor’s prescription.

“It’s a complicated vaccine that requires discussion about [sexual health] and a physical exam and follow-up visits with a doctor,” said the agency’s director, Joseph Shaffer. “My feeling is that’s better held in the physician’s office than here at the health department.”

Fear that Gardasil is dangerous hasn’t been eased by the FDA’s assurances. The agency approved and monitors the drug and says its safety profile matches those of other vaccines.

Birth Control Vaccine

ABSTRACT

Are New Vaccines Laced with Birth-Control Drugs?

During the early 1990s, the World Health Organization (WHO) had been overseeing massive vaccination campaigns against tetanus in a number of countries, among them Nicaragua, Mexico, and the Philippines. In October 1994, HLI received a communication from its Mexican affiliate, the Comite’ Pro Vida de Mexico, regarding that country’s anti-tetanus campaign. Suspicious of the campaign protocols, the Comite’ obtained several vials of the vaccine and had them analyzed by chemists. Some of the vials were found to contain human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), a naturally occurring hormone essential for maintaining a pregnancy.

My Visit to the SLC, Utah Health Department Today,#Vaccines #Adverse Reactions To Vaccines #World

My family and I are relocating to SLC, UT.  It was necessary to turn in either a Utah school immunization record or personal exception form to complete admissions to a local private school.  This is customary for schools in the state.  I believe not necessary for home schoolers but uncertain in that regard.

With work taking us to a number of different states I find the process of receiving immunization information and/or requesting a waiver fairly similar from state to state in the U.S.

Today I was pleasantly surprised. The nurse at the health department was respectable in his speech and not condescending.  Typically the most common denominator in our visits over the past 20+ years is a verbally hostile nurse and/or doctor when requesting an exemption. Ironically another common thread is a biased viewpoint with little study from the employee of additional research outside of pharmaceutical, conflict of interest research.

I received a basic packet of information displaying only one view.  The nurse could tell I was familiar with research on immunizations and said that he didn’t feel necessary to cover much with me since I had been through this process many times..  He calmly filled out my waiver. I probably spent 15-20 minutes at most in his office. I thanked him for his respectful communication.

He did apologize for past experiences when I have met with a biased employee.

When discussing ingredients in the tetanus shot upon my request, the nurse pulled the “pink book” out of the cupboard.  He said every office that administers immunizations should have one. The book listed ingredients for all the shots.  He was surprised to find that their office appeared to have Thirmerosal in the vaccination. We both agreed that the packaging holding a vaccination should list all the ingredients.  The nurse mentioned that he thought there were still some ingredients not listed in some of the vaccinations.  We both agreed that vaccinations should have ingredients all listed.  He said if the pharmaceutical companies have nothing to hide then everything should be listed.

I am so pleased with an open and honest discourse. So happy that so little of my time was taken and no charge for the waiver.
