Response to AMA’s status quo vaccine policy, trumping safety

The American Medical Association does not want a vaccine safety commission (as promised by President Trump during the election.) They are quite content with their industry based system of checks and imbalances.  Read the full letter at the end of this post. Here is the response from James Grundvig and several doctors, listed as signatories at the end of this letter.

At the 2017 AMA Annual Meeting in Chicago, the AMA House of Delegates (HOD) adopted policies aimed at protecting children’s health by addressing vaccine policy, the rising incidence of myopia, lead poisoning and ocular burns from liquid laundry packets.

It remains clear that the use of vaccines benefits public and individual health. Yet the authors of a resolution on the topic said that “physicians remain concerned the current federal administration may attempt to establish new vaccine policy based on unfounded and unscientific facts.”

Response to AMA’s Status Quo Vaccine Policy, Trumping Safety

23 June 2017

Since 1996, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has led a concerted effort on
driver safety. Its excellent results reduced highway fatalities by 50 percent, per 100,000
licensed drivers, from 23.21 down to 15.26 in 2014.1

Over the same period, autism cases per 100,000 have skyrocketed from 2.1 to 25.8 cases,
or from 1 in 500 (1995) to 1 in 68 babies born in 2014, more than a seven-old increase. 2
If those statistics aren’t damning enough, for the first time since 1993, U.S. “life expectancy”
has declined3 and a HHS-sponsored study in 2011 reported that nearly 43% of US children
(32 million) had at least 1 of 20 chronic health conditions, increasing to 54.1% when
overweight, obesity, or being at risk for developmental delays are included.4 Of course, we
are supposed to believe that the dramatic spike in childhood illness and cases of autism has
nothing to do with tripling of the number of vaccines on the CDC’s Childhood Immunization
Schedule between 1996 and 2017.5,6 It should be obvious that such a powerful correlation
should be examined. But it is not being investigated.


How can the FHWA get safety so right, but the three federal agencies tasked with the
safeguarding the health of U.S. citizens—the CDC, the NIH, and FDA—get safety so wrong?
That begs the question, where is the American Medical Association (AMA) demanding more
research to determine why our children are suffering through an autism epidemic?
One answer: Big Pharma-funded professional organizations, like the AMA and the
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have gone to great lengths to ensure that vaccine
safety remain in the hands of policymakers; they have systematically blocked efforts of
investigations by independent scientists.

Deep Flaws within the Three Agencies

The AMA’s view on vaccine safety—that the status quo is fine and needs no changes—runs
counter to the evidence. None of the three-letter agencies are capable of ensuring vaccine
safety. The entire system of checks and balances has been so upended that safety, quality
control, and quality assurance within the U.S. immunization program has been completely
compromised. The flaws are so deep and pervasive that nothing short of a total overhaul
should be undertaken. Soon, the crumbling edifice of “vaccine safety” will collapse under its
own weight.

So how can the AMA condone “flawed science” and “political manipulation” at the CDC, the
NIH, FDA, and within the IOM? Does the AMA believe the echolalia repetition of “safe and
effective” is the same as “science-based evidence?”

Why does the AMA continue to condone the CDC’s efforts, even after the domestic (Dr.
William Thompson whistleblower7) and international (Danish scientist Poul Thorsen8,9)
fraudulent science studies have been exposed?

Response to AMA’s Status Quo Position

On June 19, AMA News senior staff writer, Sara Berg, published an Opinion: “AMA backs
evidence-based vaccine policy, opposes new commission.”10

For many doctors, lawyers, professionals, advocates, and parents of autistic and chronically
ill children, we stand against the AMA and the rest of our severely broken, corrupt system
of government organizations. They have done nothing as an entire generation of children
has spiraled in to a litany of debilitating illnesses, more than at any time in human history.
Vaccines are currently advocated for the elderly, the infirmed, all adults, all pregnant
women and their fetuses, and all children of all ages, including premies and micropremies.
The standards of vaccine safety must be closely examined. Vaccine trials are only interested
in the development of an antibody after a muscle has been injected with foreign matter.
The combined and cumulative effects of 55 shots, 209 vaccine antigens, 525 mcg of
mercury and 13,425 mcg of aluminum that have been injected into a child by 18 years of
age in accordance with the CDC’s 2017 childhood immunization schedule has never been
examined. In fact, it has never even been questioned.

The AMA’s blathering that, “physicians remain concerned the current federal
administration may attempt to establish new vaccine policy based on unfounded and
unscientific facts” is a red herring. It is meant to distract from the current state of poor
health experienced by today’s children.

A new, fully transparent Vaccine Safety Commission must be formed. With nearly 250
vaccines in the developmental pipeline,11 examining the safety of injections cannot be
overstated. The three-letter agencies, which would subvert this effort, are clearly looking
through tainted rose-colored glasses intent on protecting the status quo.

We call on Dr. Kobler and the AMA to a public discussion of, and if necessary, debate on
vaccine safety issues.

From AMA:

At the 2017 AMA Annual Meeting in Chicago, the AMA House of Delegates (HOD) adopted policies aimed at protecting children’s health by addressing vaccine policy, the rising incidence of myopia, lead poisoning and ocular burns from liquid laundry packets.

It remains clear that the use of vaccines benefits public and individual health. Yet the authors of a resolution on the topic said that “physicians remain concerned the current federal administration may attempt to establish new vaccine policy based on unfounded and unscientific facts.”

In recognition that vaccinations are safe and effective, and that their benefits far outweigh any risks, the AMA adopted policy that:

  • Supports the rigorous scientific process of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices as well as its development of recommended immunization schedules for the nation.
  • Recognizes the substantial body of scientific evidence that has disproven a link between vaccines and autism.
  • Opposes the creation of a new federal commission on vaccine safety whose task is to study an association between autism and vaccines. 

“The AMA fully supports the overwhelming body of evidence and rigorous scientific process used by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices which demonstrate vaccines are among the most effective and safest interventions to both prevent individual illness and protect the health of the public,” William E. Kobler, MD said in a statement. Dr. Kobler is a member of the AMA Board of Trustees. 

“We are deeply concerned that creating a new federal commission on vaccine safety to study the already disproven association between autism and vaccines would cause unnecessary confusion and adversely impact parental decision-making and immunization practices,” Dr. Kobler added. “The United States has a long-standing system for ensuring the ongoing development, safety, and efficacy of vaccines.”  

“The AMA will continue its work to promote public understanding and confidence in the use of vaccines in order to prevent resurgence in vaccine-preventable illnesses and deaths,” concluded Dr. Kobler.
