Vaccine Safety Working Group

[Guest guest]

I hope you guys can take a minute to read the Age of Autism piece

about Voices for Vaccines getting a seat on the VSWG. They are

asking us to write or call and ask that Mark Blaxill be added to the

group. You can read it at www.ageofautism.com

The emails go to (and phone number is below):

My letter:

As a parent of two children with autism spectrum disorders whom I

believe were damaged as a result of an overly-aggressive vaccine

schedule and unsafe vaccine ingredients, I respectfully request that

you include Mark Blaxill of Safe Minds as a member of the Vaccine

Safety Working Group.

Aside from autism, many childhood diseases and conditions, such as

asthma, allergies, bipolar disorder and attention deficit disorder

have increased in prevalence dramatically in the same time we have

seen our vaccination schedule expand unabated. While this is of

course not proof of causation, it raises serious safety concerns

which public health officials have absolutely not addressed

sufficiently.

Mr. Blaxill speaks intelligently, articulately and has vast knowledge

of issues important to our community. His participation is not only

desirable -- it's critical. Your unfortunate decision to include in

your panel a representative ( Randall) of a brand new

organization whose contributions are yet to be examined or judged and

leave out an obvious contributor like Mr. Blaxill strengthens public

perception that your sole purpose is to promote vaccination, not to

ensure vaccine safety.

Our community deserves a voice in this process.

Thank you for considering this request.

Regards,

P.
