Health See other Health Articles Title: MANDATORY VACCINATION IN NY SEPTEMBER 29, 2009. Health workers in New York State must take the Swine Flu vaccine. That’s a new regulation. Take the vaccine or get fired. But several thousand of those health workers are staging a protest in Albany, and surveys have indicated that many more will refuse the shot. During an ordinary flu season, between 40 and 50 percent of NY health workers decline the vaccine. Why? They don’t think it’s necessary, and they worry about the dangers of the vaccine. This time around, they’re particularly worried, because the federal government has barred any lawsuits against Swine Flu vaccine manufacturers, in the event of serious adverse effects. Why would the feds make such an exemption for these pharmaceutical companies? Let’s say you bought a new car, and as you were driving down the freeway, the wheels fell off and you crashed into a barrier and sustained major injuries. Would the auto manufacturer deserve to wriggle off the hook? Common sense tells us that, when the government guarantees vaccine makers a clear profit with no risks, something is very wrong. Adverse effects, like nervous system damage, are expected. Would you sign a contract to buy a new car, if at the last minute, the oily salesman remarked, “Of course, you know, if the engine drops on the ground, you can’t sue anybody.” To examine the “logic” behind this no-risk regulation for vaccine manufacturers, read the following quote from Dr. Tadataka Yamada, who works at the Gates Foundation. The doctor states he owns stock in GSK, one of the firms making Swine Flu vaccine. His remarks were published in the New England Journal of Medicine on August 20. “The generous donations [of vaccine] made by Sanofi-Aventis and GlaxoSmithKline set an example that all manufacturers should emulate. In return for their responsible actions, it would be reasonable for manufacturers to be indemnified against liability from potential adverse reactions to their vaccines.” What? Yamada is saying: Well, these companies are good guys, so let’s not punish them if they make a destructive vaccine. It’s quid pro quo. They help us, we help them. It’s only fair. They’re doing their best. Why should we punish them? Somehow, there is a connection between generosity---giving away vaccines---and zero accountability for making a destructive product. Sorry, it doesn’t wash. If a corn farmer who brings five million ears of corn to market every year also gives away 10,000 ears of corn to the poor, but much of his corn is poisoned or filled with dangerous mold, he should be protected from lawsuits? And on top of that, everybody HAS TO eat the corn or face loss of their jobs? Mainstream reporters and their editors should be having a field day with government-mandated no-risk for vaccine manufacturers. This should be a scandal of huge proportions. But of course, that’s not the case. Not in this climate of fear about Swine Flu. It reminds me of the rush to judgment of federal legislators and the press, after 9/11. “If the president wants to attack Iraq, we have to go along. Who cares whether Saddam had anything to do with 9/11. We can’t ‘back down.’” If our legal system were functioning properly, it would be impossible to cancel risk for maiming or killing citizens, while at the same time ordering people to accept the medical treatment that carries that risk. A New York court would strike down the regulation that demands health workers take the Swine Flu vaccine. The few drug companies who can deliver hundreds of millions of vaccinations know what they’re doing. They’re leveraging their position. The companies are getting the real immunity. From prosecution. From judgments. JON RAPPOPORT www.nomorefakenews.com.
