Hi everybody. Here's my letter which appeared in the Anchorage Daily News

today (note that they selected the title):

Parents aren't irresponsible, vaccine pushers ignoring evidence

In a recent editorial (8/21/01), the Daily News chided so-called

" irresponsible " parents who have not complied with " mandated " school-entry

vaccination laws (certain exemptions are available).

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has more than 100,000

vaccine-associated adverse reactions in its database, including many " SIDS "

deaths occurring within days, even hours, of vaccination. Best estimates are

that reported reactions represent 1 percent-10 percent of true incidence.

(Visit www.vaccinationnews.com to learn more.)

Chronic disease among children nearly quadrupled between 1960 and 1998. Some

researchers believe that 1 in 6 children now suffer from behavioral

disorders. Autism has reached epidemic proportions, mostly because of a new

" regressive " form where previously normal children lose their skills.

A parallel, dramatic rise in the number of vaccines has occurred.

There is no evidence of much SIDS or autism prior to vaccination but plenty

of evidence since then.

What is " irresponsible " is ignoring the evidence.

We must stop believing vaccine-company generated propaganda/ " research " and

start refusing the advice of anyone with known industry ties, including the

American Academy of Pediatrics and vaccine advisory committee members.

And we must get rid of vaccine mandates, which have no place in a free

society and eliminate any incentive to provide less damaging vaccines.

The " experts " would have us believe only they can be trusted in health

matters.

But we must learn to trust ourselves.

-- Sandy Mintz

Will do. The funny thing is I called them vaccine pushers in an earlier

version which I don't think they saw. And then the editors came up with

this title themselves! Great, huh?
