Legislation Introduced to Require First Comparative Study of Vaccinated vs.

Unvaccinated Populations

 

EDITOR'S NOTE: Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York, one of the best friends autism

families have in Washington, has just reintroduced the bill to authorize a study

of health outcomes in vaccinated vs. never-vaccinated Americans. We at Age of

Autism have a particular interest in this bill, which is sometimes called the

Amish Bill for the reporting we've done on the apparently low incidence of

autism in less-vaccinated populations like the Amish (HERE). The list of

co-sponsors appears to be growing, and includes a Kennedy and the Chair of the

House Science and Technology Committee. Stay tuned, and keep up the pressure. --

WASHINGTON, DC – MALONEY REINTRODUCES BILL TO STUDY NEVER-VACCINATED

Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and (R-NJ) have introduced the

“Comprehensive Comparative Study of Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Populations

Act of 2009,†HR 3069, (HERE) legislation that would require the Secretary

of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive, peer-reviewed,

comparative study of vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, which has never

before been completed.

“Vaccines have been instrumental in reducing the incidence of many once-common

diseases, but we owe it to parents and children to study and resolve the

questions that have arisen over the possible link between vaccines and

neurological disorders,†said Maloney.  “What is ultimately needed to

resolve this issue is a comprehensive national study comparing outcomes between

vaccinated and unvaccinated children.  As the most scientifically advanced

country in the world, we should be jumping at the chance to resolve the

questions that have been raised.  Parents deserve answers, and children deserve

no less than absolute certainty and safety.â€Â 

“Vaccines have been a truly revolutionary contribution to global public health

that I have strongly supported. At the same time, it would be unconscionable if

we did not fully investigate every aspect of vaccine safety, including varying

vaccines schedules, to ensure that individuals were not being exposed to

unnecessary risks,†said . “This study would explore critical questions

about our children’s health. Only a comprehensive, national examination of

data that contrasts vaccinated children to unvaccinated children will answer

some of the questions many if not all parents have about the safety of the

vaccines we give our children. Congresswoman Maloney and I feel strongly that

this will add greatly to the body of knowledge for the healthcare community and

the public.â€

Other original cosponsors of the bill include Rep. Bart Gordon (D-TN), Chair of

the House Science and Technology Committee, and Reps. Dan Burton (R-IN),

Kennedy (D-RI), Jim Langevin (D-RI), Virginia Brown-Waite (R-FL), and Grace

Napolitano (D-CA).

Background: Maloney and have also introduced  legislation H.R. 2618

(HERE) that would improve the current system for vaccine safety monitoring in

this country by assigning responsibility for the nation’s vaccine safety to an

independent agency within the Department of Health and Human Services; and

another (HERE) (H.R. 2617) that puts in statute definite timelines for the

elimination of mercury from vaccines.

Maloney introduced similar legislation in the 110th Congress.  Click
