Below is my written testimony on LD 672 An Act Relating to Exemption from Immunization for Schoolchildren, urging the state of Maine to provide parents with true informed consent in vaccination.



The 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (Vaccine Injury Compensation Act or VICA) http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/authorizinglegislation.pdf:

details...

...27 years later the consequences of this well intended law have been devastating untold numbers of families, including mine.

1) The number of vaccines administered has skyrocketed:

When Pharmaceutical companies realized that they had a product line for which the could not be held liable for injury and death, and that governments would market for them via school mandates, they poured considerable resources into R&D for vaccines and aggressively began to market those vaccines to HHS. 

As a result, the Childhood vaccine schedule, unchanged for nearly 20 years, began to become inflated beginning in 1988, and is now almost three times what it was when the law was passed.

If I were to have a child today, that baby would receive more doses of vaccine by the time it was six months old than I did by the time I went to college.

The current vaccine schedule is untested as a whole, vaccines are recommended in combinations for which there is no safety testing, and doses are being added every year.

In conclusion:

...The Canary Party urges the State of Maine to engage in a thorough and critical examination of the CDC recommended vaccine schedule and undertake a dramatic overhaul of state vaccine policy and recommendations based in the information that has come to light on true vaccine risks in the last decade.

Vaccine policy should not be based merely on the reduction of communicable disease levels, but on overall health outcomes for children, including the true increased risk of autoimmune and neurological disorders that may be caused by an overaggressive and inappropriate vaccine schedule.

I'd have reversed the order of the last two paragraphs above.
