American Medical Association (AMA) delegates voted to support legislation banning nonmedical exceptions for immunizations, arguing that they jeopardize public health.
“This is an emerging public health crisis,” said Charles Barone, MD, a delegate speaking for the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). “The AAP and AMA need to be firm in our opposition to nonmedical immunization waivers.”
Pediatricians are hearing from families with children who have immune deficiencies or who are being treated for childhood cancer, “demanding to know if their children are at risk of being exposed to dangerous vaccine-preventable diseases in their daycares, schools, public places, and physician waiting rooms,” he told Medscape Medical News.
So, last week I read about a child who won a lawsuit in Canada for contracting narcolepsy after a vaccination. Yet, theAMA wants to force everyone to get vaccinated, insuring that there will be some people who are harmed from side effects. Explain this: if you arevaccinated, how is it contracting the disease from those who are unvaccinated. Does it ever occur to anyone that someone is making 1 heck of a lot of money for pushing vaccinations? Follow the money.
