Time To End Profit Driven Mandatory Vaccination Racket

by Evelyn Pringle / February 12th, 2008

The push to keep adding more vaccines to the mandatory schedules comes
directly from a purely profit motivated industry and a recent investor
report estimates that the world-wide market will quadruple from about
$4.3 billion in 2006 to more than $16 billion in 2016, with the
biggest boost coming from kids in the US.

A November 2007 report entitled, “Pipeline and Commercial Insight:
Pediatric and Adolescent Vaccines,” authored by vaccine analyst,
Hedwig Kresse, for the independent market analyst Datamonitor
discusses the future outlook for vaccine profits.

The report provides an assessment of products and a patient-based
forecast of market size and coverage rates to the year 2016, and
predicts that the introduction of high price vaccines will induce
rapid growth in the pediatric and adolescent vaccines market.

The report predicts that due to the “promising commercial potential”
of new, high-price vaccines, the pediatric and adolescent market will
quadruple from approximately $4.3 billion in 2006, to over $16 billion
by 2016, across the US, the EU-five including France, Germany, Italy,
Spain, and the UK, and Japan.

The crucial factor for success in the pediatric market, the report
notes, is the introduction of a product into national vaccination
schedules. “Along with reimbursement, this virtually guarantees the
rapid uptake and continuously high coverage rates in the target
population,” Ms Kresse states.

As an example, she cites Wyeth’s Prevnar, as the first premium price
vaccine launched in the US in 2000 for vaccinating infants against
pneumonia and meningitis.

Since then, Prevnar has been added to the childhood vaccination
schedules in the US and EU-five despite its high price of nearly $320
for the 4-dose regimen. In 2006, Global sales reached almost $2
billion, making Prevnar the first vaccine to attain blockbuster
status, according to the report. By 2016, Datamonitor expects the
total value of the infant market for pneumococcal vaccines to increase
to $2.3 billion.

In June 2006, Merck’s Gardasil was approved for cervical cancer.
Because it was the first vaccine offered as a preventive measure for a
form of cancer, its approval generated tremendous public attention
along with pressure for healthcare authorities to make the vaccine
available to teenage girls at a cost of $360 for 3 doses.

“Although most cases of cervical cancer in the developed world can be
prevented through the existing pap smear screening programs, the
expensive HPV vaccination has been recommended and is reimbursed for
teenage girls across the US and Europe,” Ms Kresse reports.

She notes that this decision is driven more by public pressure and
excitement about the opportunity to vaccinate against cancer rather
than by real need. The widespread publicity has led to a good uptake
in the target group of adolescent girls, which is usually hard to
reach for vaccination, Ms Kresse points out to investors.

Datamonitor sees a huge commercial opportunity in HPV vaccines, with
annual sales of $1.4 billion in teenage girls for the seven major
markets by 2016 and a cumulative catch-up opportunity in women aged
13-26 that could add up to over $17 billion until 2016.

But Ms Kresse warns investors that the “lack of medical need” for
rotavirus vaccines such as RotaTeq will limit their uptake in most
markets. RotaTeq is advertised to combat diarrhea that usually affects
infants under the age of two, and was introduced by Merck in the US in
2006, at a price of $200 for the three-dose regimen.

According to Ms Kresse, many countries, but not the US, have refused
to add the vaccine to their schedules due to cost-benefit reasons. “In
the developed world, rotavirus diarrhea is rarely severe for small
infants and quick and efficacious treatment is already available,” she
writes. “Consequently, healthcare authorities see no need to widely
introduce a very expensive vaccine.”

Datamonitor estimates that annual sales will remain limited to
approximately $1 billion across the 7 major markets by 2016 and
predicts that the US will account for the majority of sales, being the
only country to have recommended the rotavirus vaccine for all
infants.

Wyeth’s Prevnar vaccine came on the market in 2000 and is recommended
for children under 2. The vaccine was hailed as a breakthrough and had
sales of more than $1.5 billion in 2006. Prevnar is given as four
shots to children between 2 and 15 months.

On September 18, 2007, NewsMax reported that the vaccine has
dramatically curbed pneumonia and other serious illnesses in children
but is also having an unfortunate effect: “promoting new superbugs
that cause ear infections.”

According to NewsMax, doctors reported finding the first such germ
that is resistant to all drugs approved to treat childhood ear
infections and 9 toddlers in Rochester, N.Y., have had the bug and
that it also may be turning up elsewhere.

It is a strain of strep bacteria not included in the pneumococcal
vaccine. Prevnar prevents seven strains responsible for most cases of
pneumonia, meningitis and bloodstream infections. But dozens more
strains exist and some have become resistant to antibiotics since the
vaccine combats the more common strains.

If the new strains continue to spread, “it tells us the vaccine is
becoming less effective” and needs to be revised, Dr Dennis Maki,
infectious diseases chief at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Hospitals and Clinics, told NewsMax.

A new study in the November 8, 2007 New England Journal of Medicine by
researchers at Oregon Health & Science University, supported by the
United States Public Health Service, suggests that the schedule for
vaccinating and revaccinating against diseases should be reevaluated
and adjusted.

The study found that in many cases, the established duration of
immunity for vaccines is greatly underestimated, which means that
people are getting booster shots when their immunity levels do not
require it and those antibody responses caused by viruses such as
measles mumps, and rubella remained at protective levels for several
decades and in most cases, for life.

The research also reconfirmed a previous finding by Slifka and his
colleagues: that the duration of immunity after smallpox vaccination
is much longer than previously thought. In that earlier study
published in the journal Nature Medicine in 2003, these OHSU
researchers observed surprisingly long-lived antiviral antibody
responses but they were unable to measure the slow rate of decline.

The study indicates that the duration of immunity after smallpox
vaccination is maintained with a calculated half-life of 92 years and
that a person who has received the primary series of tetanus vaccine
is likely to be protected for 3 decades.

Experts say we have allowed ourselves and our children to be overdosed
through a culture dominated by industry marketing influence which has
now become dangerously out of control and detrimental to our
children’s health. “In the 21st century, it is unacceptable to be
marketing medication to infants and children that may not work,” Dr
Steven Czinn, chair of the department of pediatrics at the University
of Maryland School of Medicine, told Reuters on October 11, 2007.

In the November 19, 2007 Huffington Post article, “Over Medicated and
Over-Vaccinated: The Unintended Consequence of Medicines Meant to
Protect,” Deirdre Imus asks, “Where are the conflict-free studies that
prove giving infants and children 49 immunizations - most of them by
age 5, are safe and effective?”

She points out that studies have provided evidence that the
over-vaccination of dogs and cats can result in numerous maladies
including cancer, skin and ear conditions, arthritis, allergies,
diabetes, aggression, behavior problems and other immune system
dysfunctions. “There is even a name for the conditions caused by
animal over-vaccination, vaccinosis,” she notes.

Ms Imus also points out that the mercury-containing preservative,
thimerosal, used in vaccines for over 50 years was removed from animal
vaccines in 1992.

“Unfortunately for the kids,” she writes, “it remained in children’s
vaccines for another decade and remains in some vaccines like the
influenza (25 micrograms) and tetanus vaccine (25 micrograms) today
and in trace amounts (3 micrograms) in some immunizations.”

She says most people do not realize is that any liquid waste
containing more than 200 parts per billion (ppb) mercury must be
deposited at a hazardous waste site and that drinking water cannot
exceed 2 ppb mercury.

“But when the influenza vaccines arrive and are injected into pregnant
woman and infants as young as six months, those vaccines contain
50,000 ppb mercury,” Ms Imus notes.

This amount of mercury is 250 times higher than hazardous waste, she
notes, and according to EPA guidelines, this amount can only be
considered safe if a person weighs 550 pounds. “Even trace amounts of
mercury in vaccines can be anywhere from 600 to 2000 ppb,” she warns.

On November 13, 2006, PutChildrenFirst.org, a parent-led organization
advocating vaccine safety, issued a press release to announce the
results of a survey conducted October 27-30, 2006, by Zogby
International of over 9,000 Americans to learn their plans for getting
flu shots, their knowledge of its ingredients, and who they hold
responsible for making sure vaccines are safe.

The survey showed that an overwhelming majority of Americans were
unaware that most flu shots contain mercury and that they would refuse
a shot with mercury. After learning that mercury is an ingredient, 74%
of those polled said they were less likely to get a flu shot and 86%
of parents said they were less likely to allow their child to get a
shot.

Lisa Handley is a founding parent of PutChildrenFirst.org, whose son
Jamison had an adverse reaction to a flu shot with mercury in 2003. “I
know firsthand how life-changing a flu shot with mercury can be, since
our son began his regression into autism after his flu shot,” she
states.

“With everything we know about the dangers of mercury and the havoc it
can wreak on young, developing brains, there is no excuse for any
vaccine to contain mercury,” says Lyn Redwood, RN, MSN, President of
SafeMinds, a nonprofit organization committed to ending
mercury-induced neurological disorders.

“The survey reveals that Americans are overwhelmingly in the dark
about what is in most flu shots,” Ms Redwood stated in the press
release.

“They do not want a known neurotoxin injected into their children, and
they believe Congress and medical professionals must be more vigilant
about keeping vaccines safe and mercury-free,” she added.

PutChildrenFirst also advises that two recent studies in leading
medical journals admitted that limited data exists to support the
effectiveness of flu vaccines. One study, in the Journal of the
American Medical Association, noted that, “there is scant data on the
efficacy and effectiveness of influenza vaccine in young children,”
the release notes.

According to Ms Imus, we are beginning to see prescribed vaccines,
like the whole cell DPT and Rotovirus, which are later found to be
unsafe.

“While physicians warn the public about the over use of antibiotics,”
she points out, “it is the physicians themselves that over-prescribed
these antibiotics for every ailment under the sun.”

“And like antibiotics,” she writes, “every time a new vaccine was
developed, it quickly found its way onto the immunization schedule
along with the recommended booster shots.”

“We are now reaping the unintended consequences of the overuse of
these medical interventions,” she states. “Instead of being healthier,
we have a nation of very sick children.”

Forcing parents to inject poisonous concoctions into innocent,
helpless children against their will is a gross violation of their
most basic parental rights.

That's incorrect. A large part of the push is from doctors and public
health experts who don't like to see people sick.
