problem here and this is a guy who i think is a true american hero doing the right thing and he's got a great thing to say so all  coming from power plants would come up to me after my speeches and say you need to look at the science about mercury in vaccines because it is the by far the largest factor for mercury exposure to our children and i was reluctant to do that because it was really in my wheel house i live comfortable reading science i do that for my job i try to hundreds and hundreds of cases almost all of them and them involved scientific questions and i started looking at the science and them to explain the science of they and when i started listening to them it didn't make any sense and i realized that they had nothing to stand on and the science was a science and i continued to pursue it and  that's not going to happen until we have safe facts until we have a regulatory agency that has integrity and credibility with the american public and that's what we ought to be focusing on that's what the government our government officials ought to be focusing on coburn's committee another study by the inspector general to the two thousand and eight of h h s as a study last year by the office of research integrity of h h s and all of those study paying a c d c as an absolute cesspool of corruption government federal study is to serve the mercantile interests of the vaccine industry so there's two areas of corruption at in the c d c vaccine division the first is be sued so no matter how badly you make that product a matter of how many defects it it hasn't it nobody can ever hold you accountable so they began making these vaccines and adding them to the schedule and when a pharmaceutical company as that into the schedule the value of it to that company could be as much as a billion dollars and he we would expect and we would hope that the advisory committees t the decision to add to vaccines that schedule would be independent scientists who have nothing in mind except the safety of our children but that's not true what the inspector general report and i urge those of you in the process to go look it up as of two who many of you know who is a vaccine industry tycoon and insider the prez will promoter of vaccines in this country for the vaccine industry has done the vaccine industry payroll so i've kind of read up financial entanglements of the people who are deciding what vaccines to add to the schedule makes it difficult i think for all of us to believe that the only thing that they're thinking of is our children to help and what the inspector general report said is that ninety seven percent of the people who sit on those panels have the same kind of financial entanglements and conflicts of interest as did paul offit so there are no sixteen back to the sixty nine shots that our children gather there are two hundred seventy one new vaccines in the bureaucratic pipeline at c d c waiting approval will will ultimately be added to the schedule plus all of it says that he believes it is blue sky for wall street after that because he thinks he has said publicly that he thinks children could take as many they run out of the realm and get on their cell phones and you can watch that stock price spike so these are quite agile decisions are being driven by a trillion dollar industry ad and we need to restore the integrity of the agency of the other part of the vaccine division the other is the is the immunology safety division which are the scientists who are charged with making sure that our vaccines are safe and efficacious but what we now know what we've known for years of looking at the science of the faulty epidemiology haven't even logical studies that they produce as we've known for years tens of thousands of pages of documents to congress and at this point what we need is congress to do those hearings he wants to be subpoenaed to testify so the american public for the press biggest industries in the world it's a trillion dollar industry and it has it is the number one lobbyist in washington d c and the state capital two point six billion dollars  of our politicians on capitol hill to the politicians are now no longer protecting the public the regulatory agency has become captured by the industry is supposed to regulate c d c is now a sock puppet for the pharmaceutical industry and is the mercantile interests of that industry promoting that rather that our public health is their primary priority the lawyer the lawyers and the courts would also form  to check and balance against the power of this very very wealthy adage they are also gone because the pharmaceutical industry has used its political clout on capitol hill always passed to make it illegal for people who may be advertiser on television radio and newspapers they get between three point four and five point six billion dollars a year in advertising they are now the number one advertiser on network  beginning and a woman as it had taken the names that i hear coming out of people's mouths about hysterics and refrigerator bombs and all of that in the news in our major newspapers like the new york times is extraordinary they read the science they know what the science says they can destroy any of these politicians if they were given the ability to debate they were never given that order of a are doubly traumatised because they are they go is this population of adults that is wearing football helmets and diapers and that is not verbal they don't exist they don't exist in the thirty year old cohort they only exist in our children and they're in school now and they're costing this country four hundred billion dollars a year and they're about to hit our social space and they're going to collapse and it's going to become a concern for all americans now that in any way and the women in these parents are traumatized by what happened what happened their children their people who are bankrupted they have a seventy five percent of yours rate they can't go on out at night they can't leave their child with a babysitter they are tied at home and they don't have time for politics and they have been politically invisible until this moment but now they're coming out because they see another threat that they are going to be triply java traumatized they're traumatized by what happened at their child a it's dismissed and now they're getting told that no matter what happens no matter what they know about their child's health that all of the barriers between that pharmaceutical company and them are now being taken away and now we're going to remove the mother from the equation as well as with this well let me repeat that all all of the barriers that are meant to protect our children the and i am the mother of a not just a child as a physician and mother i am deeply concerned about losing the principle of informed consent in the doctor patient relationship and my freedom and inherent right to make individualized medical decisions for my child the core goal of integrative medicine is to identify the underlying causes of medical problems like my colleagues most of the developmentally delayed children that i see at my clinic have many underlying medical conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders nutritional deficiencies mitochondrial disorders exposures to talk sense immune deficiencies chronic infections and auto immunity to the brain to name a few these medical issues make this subset of the population potentially more sensitive to adverse vaccine reactions or example there are published studies reporting neurologic regression and loss of basic skills after routine vaccination in children with autism who have mitochondrial problems despite this these children usually don't qualify for a vaccine medical exemption unfortunately there is no current mandate to test each child for underlying medical problems before we vaccinate them we usually only see them after the damage is done but sometimes we have warning signs like a child who loses eye contact or language after a vaccine or an older sibling who is on the autism spectrum or who has reacted negatively to vaccines in these cases we can do tests and be cautious and potentially prevent further damage to that child in these situations where medical vulnerabilities exist it is critical that we are not forced to practice government mandated medicine s p to seven seven could increase the number of vaccine injured children and will that doctor patient relationship and medical informed consent say facts a nation is the goal but there is no safe one size fits all vaccine policy informed consent is a basic medical and legal responsibility and it is at risk here today a forced universal vaccine program could injure many and society as a whole and families like mine and those of my patients will be lifted bear the burden once a vaccine is given it cannot be undone i strongly urge you to oppose s b two seven seven thank you for your time chairman members of the committee thank you my name is steven reuben valley california i am a research computer scientist p h d and over forty five years of programming experience i am also the director of vaccine research analytics with the national vaccine information center the national childhood vaccine injury act of one nine hundred eighty six required the c d c to gather data about vaccine injuries and make it publicly available they created their the vaccine adverse event reporting system at first but data was only available to the public in raw form and was impossible to view to remedy that i created the first online search engine for various in two thousand and four metallurgist this website still provides the most complete public access to there and has become the search engine of choice for many researchers including some at the c d c there are nearly a half million reports in fares and yet the system suffers from under reporting by anywhere from a factor of ten to a factor of one hundred because senate bill two seventy seven removes the personal belief exemption to vaccination for children there is appropriate to look at the various reports filed for children eighteen and under who suffered after a c d c recommended vaccine i can find my search to only serious reports where the person was hospitalized had a life threatening injury was permanently disabled or died there's shows over thirty six thousand children who are seriously injured after a c d c recommended vaccine the chart on page two of the handout i have given you shows what happened to them our government reports twelve thousand visits to the emergency room twenty seven thousand hospitalizations and three thousand four hundred thirty seven deaths a chart on page three of my handout shows the different vaccine components that were involved in these thirty six thousand reports but data suggests that there is not a single vaccine it is safe for everyone supporters of s b to seventy seven assert but the vaccine schedule is safe but the data on page four of my handout shows an alarming growth trend that will only continue as more vaccines are added to the schedule senators back scenes are pharmaceutical products that injure and kill children every year this is not an opinion this is a fact as evidenced by the government's own reporting system i urge you to vote no on s b two seventy seven and maintain the personal belief exemption in california parents deserve informed choice in their children's facts and schedules  would be happy to answer any questions you may have now or at any later time thank you very much hi my name's karen kane and i'm the face of a parent who had a child who was vaccine injured i believed in vaccines and i did everything right i took my baby in for his six week while visit and gave her her one and only d b t vaccine and two hours after that vaccine she had a five minute tonic clonic seizure and two hours after that she had another five minute tonic clonic seizure and on that day my wife was stolen and they happen to be laura and she had seizures often lasting five minutes or longer only six weeks after her vaccination she had nine five minute seizures and one day i took her back to the doctors and her body laid lifeless in my arms laura never walked and she never talked she was fed through a feeding tube and she breathed out of a whole internet she received severe brain damage from the vaccination which was filled with mercury my entire life she lived on six different anti seizure medications alone constantly having seizures the vaccine that my daughter received was from lot number three six zero nine winning it is referred to as a hot lot there were ten surrounding deaths and thirty kids had seized seizures or worse with that vaccine and this lot was scattered through the united states so it's perfectly legal our government protects the drug companies to send this vaccine throughout the united states so not one doctor saw this vaccine injury and their office the same vaccine that my daughter had was in utah  ohio and in california where lauren's vaccine was given the government immediately agreed that my daughter was a vaccine ensured and that never happens we settled with the vaccine court in hundred ninety eight my family was lucky no one has ever researched the thousands of children that have had back seen injury no one ever called me once to ask me about my daughter and to find out why she had a vaccine injury my daughter died in my arms three months before her sixteenth birthday in two thousand and nine her body can no longer bear the seizures i know that many people want to turn their heads thinking that my daughter's life is unimportant but i want to tell you here today their her life mattered lauren was loved she was loved by many her life was important she happened to be a blond haired blue eyed pisces she had best friends she was the vice president of her girl scout troop she loved chocolate she loved shopping she was an huge flirt she loved god and she loved being a teenager she was a beautiful young woman whose life was stolen by vaccine injury i stand here today before you share my story so you can all see and hear what happens when vaccines go wrong and the time that i have spoke here before you is less than half the time of my daughter's first seizure at six weeks of age even though history and we've spoken many times today that vaccines don't always work at speed to seven seven demands that all parents docs and their children to protect their immune compromised from diseases risking a certain number of babies that we know will be injured they may be injured severely and they could happen to die who gets to make the choice now of whose babies are more important because there is a risk there must be choice and then in the name of my daughter lauren danielle king and all families who are living
