(12.44 p.m.) —While the minister is consulting his advisers, I just want to briefly take up thepoint about the intelligent parent. I cannot accept what the minister says at all. The fact is that there is very muchcontradictory evidence and debate, even in scientific and medical circles, about vaccination. As a generalpractitioner, in the past I have been in the position of having to help inform people about vaccination. When you doget to the little wrappers that come with the little bottles of vaccine and read the small print, the alarm bells startringing.Without fear or favour, at this stage—I will only do this once—we ought to put the other side of the story for theso-called intelligent adults, to use the minister's term. From the Australian Vaccination Network I have reports fromthree parents who came and saw me in recent times about what may be seen as the other side of the story. Iinform the commit tee, in brief, of the network's argument. They say:Did you know that:Vaccines contain many toxic ingredients including formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing substance. According tothe Poisons Information Centre—that is in Sydney—"There is no acceptable safe amount of formaldehyde if being injected into a living human body. It is a toxicsubstance and should be avoided at all costs."Over the past century, death rates from childhood diseases had dropped by an estimated 90% BEFORE theintroduction of vaccines or antibiotics.Vaccines are cultured on animal tissue and therefore, contain many bacteria and viruses other than the oneswhich they are supposed to immunise against. For instance, the polio vaccines was contaminated with 40 knownmonkey viruses—one of which, SV-40, is thought to cause cancer and has also been linked with the development of AIDS.Live virus vaccines such as polio, measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox are carried in the body for up to 90days after vaccination. This means that anyone who has been recently vaccinated cannot only contract the diseasethemselves but can transmit it to those they are in contact with. This happened in 1995 when a 22 year oldBrisbane mother contracted polio from her recently vaccinated baby.The rubella and chicken pox vaccines are cultured on the cell lines of aborted foetuses.Vaccines do not guarantee protection from disease. Of the 1,094 cases of whooping cough occurring SA in 1996,only 6% were not vaccinated (SA Health Commission) The Medical Journal of Australia (5/95) reported on a measlesoutbreak in Western Sydney in which 74% of the children were vaccinated against measles according to theirparents.The US government has paid out in excess of $800 million US since 1986 for vaccine damages.In a study conducted by Dr Michael Odent (
Lancet , July 1994) asthma was shown to be 5 times more common inchildren who had been vaccinated against whooping cough. Two follow-up studies since that time have confirmedthese results.In 1989, the
Australian Doctor Weekly surveyed its readers—doctors—and found that 89% of them relied on drugcompany salesmen for their information.According to the information sheet given out to American parents, the risk of serious reactions from the whoopingcough vaccine are that one child in 350 may suffer from convulsions or shock/collapse, one child in 100 will have atemperature of 40C or higher and one child in 66 will have high-pitched screaming for 3 hours or more—all possiblesymptoms of brain injury.Adverse reactions to vaccination are more common than we are told. The AVN has collected over 300 reports of serious adverse reactions from Australian families. Not one of these had ever been reported by the doctorsinvolved.They go on to give three salient cases. I cannot account for those statistics any more than the minister canaccount for his. We could get into an interminable debate. We do not need to. All that needs to be said here is thatthere are very serious arguments for vaccination but there are also very serious arguments against vaccination.That is why it is not valid to say that an intelligent parent or a responsible person is going to have his or her childvaccinated. I would think that anybody who allowed a vaccination without looking at the evidence and agonisingover the contrary as well as the beneficial points is not displaying the sort of intelligence that the minister talksabout.It is a very difficult matter. It is as difficult for doctors. Let me reiterate that: it is as difficult and complicated fordoctors as it is for parents and child rearers. There we have it. That comes back to Senator Lees's amendment andthe arguments put cogently by Senator Harradine.There has to be an acceptance that parents and child rearers have an objection because they raise an objection.The very act of putting it in writing validates that. It is of some concern that there is going to be a forthcomingchallenge on this matter under the government's definition, which will whittle it down to a medical argument putalong the lines that the minister has just put. That will be very difficult if the contrary arguments are not put at thesame time and it is confined simply to a medical argument, because conscience goes much deeper than that.

(Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs)(1.19 p.m.) —I cannot miss theopportunity of splitting Senator Brown and Senator Harradine. I am sure Senator Harradine would have no difficultywith cell lines taken from spontaneously aborted foetuses in a philosophical sense, whereas Senator Brown has anobjection whether they are spontaneous or induced. So I think there is room for debate in this regard.We are checking on both of those. I have seen where that document that was distributed came from—theAustralian Vaccination Network. There are a number of items there that could be disputed. The only one inparticular is that one that Senator Harradine read out. There is nobody in the chamber who can answer that. Wehave sent someone to see if we can get an answer to it, but the person responsible is not available, so I will getback to the Senate with an answer to that as soon as possible.

(Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs)(10.23 p.m.) —Irise tonight because of press reports over the last week that there are currently outbreaks of whooping cough and measles in Australia. I believe there is an urgency to assist parents to gettheir children immunised, and this cannot be emphasised enough. The reason that I do so wasthat last week in the Senate the Australian Vaccination Network circulated a false andmischievous document which has influenced people against immunisation.Senators that have any doubts about the efficacy of immunisation are asked to review thevirtual elimination of Haemophlus Influenzae disease in immunised children since theintroduction of widespread Hib immunisation. This immunisation has prevented dozens of children from suffering lifelong neurological disability. The Australian Vaccination Networkbelieves that factors other than immunisation are responsible for the fall in immunisationpreventable diseases in the Australian community. However, during the time that the Hibimmunisation has been available, community health standards have effectively been constant.The only change has been the introduction of the immunisation.The other observable fact is that, as the overall immunisation rate has fallen, there has beenan increase in the number of immunisation preventable diseases. I refer specifically to some of the claims made in their leaflet. They state that vaccines contain many toxic ingredients,including formaldehyde. It is an exaggeration and is misleading to say that vaccines containmany toxic ingredients. Small amounts of additives are used in vaccines. For example,formaldehyde is used to detoxify the tetanus toxin produced in the manufacture of tetanusvaccine. The vaccine is then purified to remove any excess formaldehyde. The residualformaldehyde is in very low concentration, far lower than the maximum allowed by thestandard specified in the British Pharmacopoeia, which is the standard adopted by Australia.There was another statement that `over the past century, death rates from childhooddiseases had dropped an estimated 90 per cent before the introduction of vaccines orantibiotics'. The death rate from infectious diseases dropped with improved sanitation andhygiene. However, these diseases are still highly infectious, and deaths and seriousconsequences still occur. Our children can only be protected by being vaccinated.The success of the program of vaccination against Hib is testimony for the need for avaccination program in modern Australia. This vaccine was introduced to the standardchildhood schedule in 1993, and since that time we have witnessed a 94 per cent reduction inthe number of Hib disease in children under five years of age. There was another extraordinaryclaim that:Vaccines are cultured on animal tissue and therefore contain many bacteria and virusesother than the ones they are supposed to immunise against. For instance, the polio vaccineswas (sic) contaminated with 40 known monkey viruses—one of which, SV-40, is thought tocause cancer and has also been linked with the development of AIDS.Only viral vaccines are cultured in material derived from animal tissues. Bacterial vaccinesare manufactured in cultures free of animal cells. Careful screening and testing ensure that theresulting vaccines are free from known contaminants, including bacteria and viruses.The SV40 virus contaminated some batches of polio vaccine between 1955 and 1963, butthere has been no evidence of increased risk of mortality, especially cancer mortality, inpersons who have received this vaccine. Since 1963 all polio vaccines have been demonstratedto be free of SV40 as well as other known possible contaminants. There is no scientificevidence whatsoever linking AIDS to polio vaccines.Another statement was that the rubella and chicken pox vaccines are cultured on cell lines of aborted foetuses. Mr Acting Deputy President, you will recall Senator Harradine's concernabout this statement. The truth is that rubella and varicella—chicken pox—viruses vaccine isgrown on cell lines which originated in one aborted foetus over 30 years ago—in fact, in 1961.No foetal tissue has been used recently in the testing or the production of these vaccines.Another statement made was that vaccines do not guarantee protection from disease. Thatis true to an extent—just as no medical intervention guarantees 100 per cent success—but it
