MB Comment: No wonder doctors say vaccines are perfectly safe, they don’t know what a vaccine adverse reaction is! Here is a quote from this new medical journal survey of vaccine providers (AE = adverse event). ‘Results indicate that if an AE was suspected, 17% of respondents would not know how to report it, with 61% of respondents citing unclear definitions of a reportable AE as a barrier and 18% of respondents unaware of whose responsibility it is to report an AE.’
My chapter of the book Vaccine Epidemic starts with the Merck Manual definition of a vaccine adverse reaction: Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). This is an excerpt from my chapter (Merck Manual citations are in quotes): “Encephalitis can occur in the following ways: … A virus or vaccine triggers a reaction that makes the immune system attack brain tissue (an autoimmune reaction)” … The Merck Manual further defines the symptoms of encephalitis: “Symptoms of encephalitis include fever, headache, personality changes or confusion, seizures, paralysis or numbness, sleepiness that can progress to coma and death.” Many tens of thousands of parents whose children were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder reported that their kids were progressing normally until they received one or many vaccines, after which they had fevers, headaches, seizures, personality changes, and were never the same again. The symptoms reported by parents are the same symptoms of encephalitis that are defined in The Merck Manual. Health authorities in charge of defending and expanding universal immunization programs label these same symptoms “a coincidence.”’
It gets worse. Even if vaccine providers on the front lines of sticking needles in people were to cause, observe and report a vaccine adverse reaction (such as described above) to the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) absolutely nothing would happen. The FDA collects those reports, puts them in a drawer and forgets about them. Here is the current body count in VAERs: Hepatitis B vaccine 50,275 reports – 979 deaths, DTaP vaccine (pertussis, diptheria, tetanus) 50,345 reports – 785 deaths, MMR vaccine 58,887 reports – 300 deaths, Gardasil vaccine 22,563 reports – 99 deaths.
Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association that “only about 1% of serious adverse events are reported to the FDA.” This new study confirms the systematic under-reporting bias against vaccine adverse reactions. So multiply those VAERS reports cited above by 10 or 100 to get a better handle on the magnitude of the problem. Apparently, no number of VAERS vaccine adverse reaction reports is sufficient to cause the FDA or CDC to raise a red flag or withdraw a vaccine from the market.
It gets even worse: Paul Offit (new Institute of Medicine member) denies that vaccines cause brain damage, which directly contradicts the Merck Manual (the largest selling medical textbook). In a Time Magazine interview he stated unequivocally: ‘Vaccines don’t cause autism or brain damage.’
If you want to entrust yourself and your children to this Three Blind Mice (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) vaccine system – that is certainly your right, but if something goes wrong don’t expect any recognition, sympathy or cure from the medical system. You’ll end up being a statistic in the FDA VAERS system and it will be labeled a coincidence. See the study below.

Assessing vaccine safety communication with healthcare providers in a large urban county.
Abstract
PURPOSE:
Vaccination is the primary public health tool for influenza control. Rapid assessment of the safety of any widely disseminated pandemic influenza vaccine is a public health priority. This study identifies practices, strengths, and weaknesses of vaccine-associated adverse event (AE) reporting to inform public health systems improvement.
METHODS:
A survey was developed with local and state health agencies’ input. After pre-testing, the survey was distributed online and via mail to a random sample of King County, WA, healthcare professionals, composed of 60 commercial vaccinator employees and school health nurses, 500 physicians, and 300 pharmacists.
RESULTS:
The response rate was 36%. Results indicate that if an AE was suspected, 17% of respondents would not know how to report it, with 61% of respondents citing unclear definitions of a reportable AE as a barrier and 18% of respondents unaware of whose responsibility it is to report an AE.
CONCLUSION:
Healthcare professionals who provide immunizations need additional information on their role in vaccine safety and AE reporting. Strengthening both passive and active reporting systems can enhance surveillance efforts during real-time events, such as mass immunization during a pandemic and other large-scale emergency countermeasure distribution programs.
