Immunizations Safety Review Committee Hearing
Monday, February 9, 2004

On February 9, 2004, 15 research scientists and medical doctors presented the findings of their research at an Immunizations Safety Review Committee Hearing.  The chart below shows whether or not their research found a connection between vaccination and autism.

As one can see, the majority of the researchers felt that there was a possible connection.

Parents have a right to these findings, so they can make the best possible decision for their children and themselves.

When there is a possibility of autism or other neurological problems and possibility of death people should be given a choice.

“Simply put, it is not ethical to give a medicine that will kill and maim persons for no demonstrable benefit. Assuaging fears about vulnerability to a potential disease is not a benefit any physician should accept.”  ~ Dr. Jeffrey S. Sartin, M.D.

Out of 15 speakers polled:

60% (9) felt there IS a link to autism, etc. This represents all those with NO conflicts of interest.

26% (4) felt there is NO link to autism, etc. This represents all those WITH conflicts of interest.

14% (2) were noncommittal.  This group is likely to have conflicts of interest.

100% of those with no conflicts of interest are convinced there is a massive problem.

Always remember parents have choices and rights ... know them!
