Vaccines and Money--Full Steam Ahead for Gardasil

Recent reports of episodes of Guillain-Barré syndrome, or GBS, following administration of Gardasil, the vaccine for cervical cancer, have led the Centers for Disease Control to investigate whether a connection exists between the two events.

According to CDC documents, initial findings indicate that six of the 13 reports occurred after Gardasil was given alone; two reports met the "strict case definition" of GBS, occurring within six weeks after vaccination and occurred in patients who had received Gardasil alone. Six of the 13 reports involved simultaneous administration of Gardasil and Menactra, the college meningitis vaccine. Seven deaths among individuals who had received Gardacil are "being investigated."

COMMENT: Despite of reports of injury and death in young girls, the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics and pro-vaccine pundits charge full steam ahead to jab young girls with a dangerous drug with unproven effectiveness.

What was the CDC's response to the reports of GBS after the vaccine? "The overall number of reports of GBS is consistent with what would be expected to occur by chance after a vaccination." If there is even a chance that this vaccine is killing 9-year-old girls, it should be stopped until it is proven to be non-lethal. Problem is, they won't be able to know how deadly it is until the vaccine has been used for a few more years....and a many more deaths and injuries have occurred.

The holy of holies to the Medical Establishment, a syringe full of viruses and chemicals, will be honored and promoted regardless of the amount of harm inflicted on individuals, on families and on society as a whole. If government agencies were truly looking out for our best interest, statistics would dictate at least an occasional agreement with scientific evidence and first-hand reports of parents. The complete support of vaccines and bias toward research funded by drug companies to support vaccination makes one wonder how completely out of touch -- or bought off -- these fellow humans really are.

But parents are smart and are learning quickly to stand up for themselves. They are refusing vaccines and questioning the motives behind jealous vaccinators. Money motives have always been suspected. I recently discovered a presentation by the NVAC Vaccine Finance Working Group delivered September 26, 2006 that clearly describes the money motive behind vaccination. One of the goals of the NVAC meeting, the National Vaccine Advisory Committee, was to "Obtain input from stakeholders on the challenges in creating optimal approaches to vaccine financing in both the public and private sectors, and their impact on access." The aim was to find ways to secure more funding from the government to be sure that all children were vaccinated. (government = your tax dollars.)

Slide 19 of the presentation provided this insightful information:
THE TRUE COST OF VACCINES
• Purchase price of the vaccine.
• Personnel costs for ordering and inventory.
• Storage costs since the vaccines must be stored in a refrigerator or freezer, which is depreciated.
•Possible re-vaccination costs due to problems with storage.
•Insurance to insure against loss.
•A 5% estimated wastage/non-payment due to office collection rates, HMO discounts, bad debt, etc.
•Large sums tied up in vaccine inventory -- e.g. 10 member pediatric group had $100,000 in vaccine inventory in 2005. [NOTE: That dollar estimate was before having to purchase expensive Gardasil and Menactra, beginning in 2006.--ST]

Your pediatrician or his boss (the Hospital System) as to put out real dollars and big bucks to acquire vaccines for patients. That money has be be recouped. In addition, vaccines have expiration dates -- especially the flu shots, good for only a short period of time. Many doctors who work for HMOs are on revenue quotas, meaning, theyare required to generate a certain amount of money each quarter to recieve a bonus and in some cases, to remain employed.

The primary way most pediatricians generate revenue is through office and hospital visits and giving vaccines, high ticket products dispensed from their office. At $120 per dose, Gardasil is the fastest way to money make revenue quotas. And if the vaccine makes the child sick...that generates more office visits. And if Gardasil injuries generate more hospital stays...that generates more visits and more revenues.

Yes, doctoring is about taking care of people and many pediatricians truly adore their little patients. But rest assured, doctoring is also about generating fees and making money. That's not a "bad thing;" it is simply a reality of how doctors earn a living. But is giving more than 100 vaccines through about 37 shots and at least 7 office visits before a child can enter kindergarten really necessary, or is it mostly about money?
