The researchers had to go back more than 10 years to find sufficient cases for the Colorado study and include a measles epidemic. The real purpose of the report in JAMA seems to be to shame or scare the 1 percent to 2 percent of parents into not using a philosophical exemption and to induce states to repeal this exemption. The same issue of JAMA includes an editorial commenting on the study. It, too, is based on the premise that vaccine mandates are good, and it deplores criticisms of vaccines by parents, implying that their objections must be based on ignorance or misinformation. But, buried in the JAMA editorial are some startling comments and revelations.
Vaccine mandates go into effect in America in a procedure that evades accountability.
JAMA absolves ACIP, CDC and the FDA from any accountability for the mandating of vaccines. In other words, state legislators take note. In other words, the real purpose of ACIP and FDA recommendations is to release federal funds to buy the vaccines from the manufacturers. An investigation by Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., last year revealed many conflicts of interest among those who sit on federal panels where they can vote on the recommendations that trigger the federal funds. Many panelists receive financial benefits from the vaccine manufacturers.
