When children don't count:

Heeding the lesson of little Saba Button

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

22/03/2011 - For Immediate Release:

Saba Button's family is grieving for their baby's lost future, and their

brave appearance on Channel 9 News in Perth last night should ring

warning bells for all Australian parents who are considering giving their

children this year's influenza vaccine as recommended by the Australian

Health Department.

A year ago, Saba was a normal, healthy 11 month old whose parents were

'doing the right thing' in vaccinating her. Kirsten and Mick Button,

along with thousands of other Western Australian parents, were sent a

letter by the WA Government urging them to get their child vaccinated

against the flu. This letter did not inform parents that the vaccine had

never been used in this age group in Australia before - nor did it tell

them that by agreeing to give their child the shot, they were taking part

in an experiment with no controls, no real oversight and funding from the

companies that were producing and profiting from the vaccines.

Hours after getting this shot, Saba ran a high fever, was whimpering in

her cot and began seizures that could not be controlled for over 7 hours.

The upshot is that today, Saba has significant brain damage and her

loving family is shattered.

Some people may say that Saba has paid the price to keep society safe

from influenza, but as Collignon, Professor of infectious diseases

and microbiology had ANU has stated:

" In the vast majority of people, (seasonal flu) gives a mild

infection, or is even asymptomatic - which protects against other (flu)

viruses much more broadly. To me, this is a red flag for saying we need

to reassess the whole vaccine strategy, of vaccinating people without

risk factors. "

In fact, Prof Collignon has revealed that instead of protecting

people against the flu, vaccination may make it more likely that people

who get vaccinated this year may be more prone to the flu next year.

Whilst a dose of the flu - rarely deadly in healthy people - will usually

give long-term, broad-spectrum protection against future outbreaks,

vaccination appears to leave people more susceptible to the flu in future

years.

The results of last year's flu vaccination campaign in children in

Australia were that approximately 1 child in ever 100-200 who got the

shot had seizures as a result. And a recent study from the US showed that

receiving the flu vaccine in combination with other shots increases that

risk by 60 seizures in ever 100,000 children.

Dr Jefferson of the Cochrane Collaboration has done a 40-year

retrospective study showing that in children under the age of 2 years,

the flu vaccine is completely ineffective. Despite this, our government

is considering recommending this shot in that age group.

Prof Booy of the NCIRS and Westmead Hospital has called Prof

Collignon 'wrong and irresponsible' for trying to ensure that Australia's

vaccination policy is based on science rather than fear. Perhaps Prof

Booy would like to explain the recent research showing that less than 30%

of Australian health professionals have agreed to take annual flu shots.

Their stated reasons for doing so? Lack of evidence of necessity,

safety or effectiveness. If doctors won't get vaccinated, why

should parents, Professor Booy?

Incredibly, despite the fact that the majority of doctors have no faith

in this shot, they were not reporting the serious reactions appearing in

their practices until they had 'enough reactions to make it worth their

while'. This was the conclusion of the Stokes investigation commissioned

by the WA Government. Due to delay in reporting reactions, many children,

including Saba Button, were injured unnecessarily. This vaccine should

have been withdrawn weeks earlier. Indeed, it can be argued that it never

should have been introduced.

It is criminally negligent that an experimental vaccine was being used on

infants and young children without full and independent oversight. Where

did the system fail? Ultimately, it is in the assumption that all

vaccines are safe until proven otherwise - when in fact, it should be the

other way around.

Every child matters. Every child should count.

The Australian Vaccination Network represents the viewpoint that all

health policies must be open, transparent and scientifically-based. In

addition, parents must always have access to the most current independent

information on the benefits and risks of all health procedures -

something which the government is not able to provide them with since the

TGA have abrogated their responsibility by allowing drug companies to be

the sole arbiters of safety and efficacy of all drugs and vaccines

licensed in Australia.

In the meantime, we wish Saba's family all the best and hope for the

miracle that will see this precious girl healed of the harm done to her

by vaccines that were supposed to protect and not harm.

There is no difference in my eyes of the unsound pharma practices of vaccination and the profits before safety reactor design

of the nuclear energy industry. If any reader on this list knows of a double blind study showing the efficacy of innoculation I would appreciate hearing about it.

If there is no double blind study then anyone advocating innoculation is assuming liability if they reccomend same.

The full power of the lawshould be brought to bear.

Enough of this criminal idiocy.
