The vaccine controversy never seems to end. On March 2nd 2007 more news about the questionable practices involved within the pharmaceutical industry reared its ugly head again. A story carried on the newswire service from Reuters news service tells about a study gone awry. “Russia probes “illegal” tests of Glaxo vaccines.”

As GlaxoSmithKline PLc. (GSK) attempts to combine the MMR vaccine into a 4 in 1 vaccine that includes Chicken pox. This study was to compare the MMR and a separate Chicken Pox vaccine with this new 4 in 1 combination. 5,700 children between the ages of 1 and 2 from across Europe were involved. 1,000 children in Russia alone.

The Russian city Volgogard had 100 of these study subjects that participated at a small private clinic. Other than supplying the vaccines GSK had no on sight control or participation. The head of this clinic was to reportedly have received $50,000 to perform this part of the study. This is a lot of money to a Russian doctor.

According to GSK mandates only healthy children were to participate. The parents were to be informed that this program was in fact a study and not part of the normal vaccine schedule.

Russian Prosecutor Lydia Sergeyeva that heads this investigation says that this study is in fact, contrary to Russian law. Many of the parents claim that they were unaware that this was a study, instead of a humanitarian aid program. It was not until some of these children became ill that the facts became clear and that not all participants were not in good health.

As Sergeyeva noted “one 2 ½ year old girl whose neurological illness progressed sharply after she was vaccinated. The girl can hardly speak and shows other signs of arrested development.” A spokesman for GSK says that none of this is true and claims that there were no adverse reactions in connection with this study.

This entire situation recalls the original Thimerosal study of 1931. This was claimed that this preservative Thimerosal was safe as there were no adverse reactions observed in the study group of 22 dyeing patients injected. There were no long term studies as the participants were not available. And unlike the 31’ study by Eli Lilly this recent study did not involve Thimerosal. I just found similarities in how this was handled.

The vaccine question and its contributions to the many neurological and immune dysfunctions that we see toady just doesn’t seem to go away. Children used as guinea pigs in 2005 bothers me and I hope you too.

When you look at the Centers of Disease Controls own website there is no clarity on this issue. It is as though you are dealing with a politician. The answers are vague and you can’t find any conclusions.

According to the CDC there are no studies that show what Thimerosal (ethyl mercury) can do to the human body or biological system. This is despite over 1,000 papers that have been documented on this subject. You are lead to believe that there is nothing to link Thimerosal to any disorder or disease.

The GSK vaccines used in this study do not contain Thimerosal. I only use the similarities in the way the studies were done.

The question of adverse reactions can be found in an article published by the Mayo Foundation in 2000 Vol.75. The Mayo Clinic has a great reputation with the American public. “Injecting a dose of common sense” allows you to read the ways the pharmaceutical and medical communities feel about this issue. You are told that there are adverse reactions and that these are expected. They range from very minor site reactions to death. These reactions are to be put into context and the public is to realize that these reactions are but a few and outweigh the benefit to humanity as a whole. The question today is that can we say the same?

What is obvious to me is that these vaccine studies and programs are handled very badly. There seems to be no clear consensuses within the medical, pharmaceutical or governmental entities that promote these vaccines. The parents of those injected are left in the dark as to what may happen. After all you are made to believe that you have no choice as these vaccines are mandated. I would guess that this is another price that we pay for freedom. Contradiction Yes.
