Do we need to reboot the Australian experience of vaccination policy? : Comments
By Baz Bardoe, published 25/2/2014The absence of a compensation scheme alone should be considered a scandalous lapse in policy. Is it ethically acceptable to pressure people who are healthy to take a risk, and have no 'safety net' in place?

The question that the anti vaccination lobby would have us focus on is "what are the risks of vaccinating?" The reality is that there are risks and no one is denying it. However, this assumes that the alternative of not vaccinating is risk free.
There are enough viruses that have nasty and long lasting consequences including HPV, glandular fever, chicken pox, HepA, HepB, some of which have frequent consequences, and others simply trigger cancer, and other conditions, or all of the above. Any person using rational instead of emotion will see that vaccinating has negative consequences in say 5 of every 1m vaccinated, while not vaccinating has negative consequences for 5000 of every million, and see that there really is no option. This goes even further when one considers the risk that non vaccinated children pose to everyone else, it then becomes a community rather than simply a personal issue. I personally support people wanting to keep their kids away from those who are not vaccinated and think that vaccination only child care centres are a good idea.

To assume that we know everything there is to know about vaccines and their affects on human physiology, to assume that there are no more questions to ask, is to be "anti-science" in the truest sense. Recent revelations about the whooping cough vaccine is proof alone that the way we view vaccination and implement guidelines needs to be constantly reassessed and monitored. The relative risk of adverse affect from vaccines compared to chances of contracting the illness/suffering complications is not easy to measure for an individual in a developed country especially in the absence of a epidemic, even more so without adequate adverse event monitoring. If this is true, then economic or social punishment of those who either refuse all shots or opt for a different schedule is indeed, as the author has written, ethically fraught.

Dear Shadow Minister,
<<Any person using rational instead of emotion will see that vaccinating has negative consequences in say 5 of every 1m vaccinated>> Rationality is always relative to the goals, which in turn depend on one's values: it questions whether certain action would serve those goals. However, values are never rational. The desire to vaccinate is rational only by those who value the biological functioning of the human organism above one's spiritual welfare - there is nothing rational about this preference! Dear Ponde, <<Maybe the N.S.W. government should allow exemption from wearing seat belts on religious grounds.>> There is no need for special favours: Nobody should be forced to wear a seat belt - it's none of the state's business. If you want to risk your life, that should only be your own problem (and YES, the state should not pay your medical expenses). Posted by Yuyutsu, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 6:16:02 PM

I want MY children to live long and be healthy. Thus I have made sure they are vaccinated, and I will do my damndest to make sure YOUR children are too.

Yuyutsu
At least you came clean and admitted that there is nothing rational about not vaccinating children. I assume that you are happy for other parents to take the rational choice and ensure that their children do not come in contact with yours.

The author of this piece railed about how pharmaceutical companies are funding medical research and then immediately links to a piece of junk science funded by anti-vaccine foundations.
At least we know the pharmaceutical companies have to provide good quality data and all of their data to regulators to get registration of their products (what they put in the peer-reviewed literature is a fraction of this - usually the fraction that supports their products), their are no such conditions on what anti-vaccine groups put forward as evidence.

The NNT is the average number of patients who need to be treated to prevent one additional bad outcome (i.e. the number of patients that need to be treated for one to benefit compared with a control in a clinical trial). It is defined as the inverse of the absolute risk reduction. It was described in 1988.[1] The ideal NNT is 1, where everyone improves with treatment and no one improves with control. The higher the NNT, the less effective is the treatment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_needed_to_harm The number needed to harm (NNH) is an epidemiological measure that indicates how many patients need to be exposed to a risk-factor over a specific period to cause harm in one patient that would not otherwise have been harmed.[1] It is defined as the inverse of the attributable risk. Intuitively, the lower the number needed to harm, the worse the risk-factor.

Live Flu Vaccines Increase Infectious Bacteria Counts 100-Fold in Mice
http://www.naturalblaze.com/2014/03/live-flu-vaccines-increase-infectious.html If presumably safer "attenuated" flu vaccines are supposed to protect against influenza and its sometimes deadly complications, then why do vaccinated mice have up to 100-fold higher levels of flu-associated pathogenic bacteria than non-vaccinated mice? A concerning new study published in mBio, an open access journal of the American Society of Microbiology, titled, "Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine Enhances Colonization of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus in Mice," reveals that live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs) lead to the rapid and sustained overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria in the upper respiratory tract of mice at colonization densities up to 100-fold higher than non-vaccinated mice. http://www.pakalertpress.com/2014/02/27/irs-posts-enforcement-notices-for-2014-obamacare-extortion-payments/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+pakalert+%28Pak+Alert+Press%29 http://undergrounddocumentaries.com/rule-from-the-shadows-the-psychology-of-power-part-1/ govt..systematically attempting..“to control, infiltrate,..manipulate,..and warp online..discourse”. http://intellihub.com/yes-paid-government-trolls-social-media-blogs-forums-websites/ 5 Reasons..Monsanto’s ‘Science’ Doesn’t Add Up http://www.essentialprepper.com/5-reasons-monsantos-science-doesnt-add/ To hear the pesticide and junk food marketers..of the world tell it, anyone who questions the value,..legitimacy or safety of GMO (genetically modified organisms)..crops is naïv.., anti-science and irrational..to the point of hysteria. But how long can Monsanto ignore the mounting actual scientific evidence that their technology is not only failing to live up to its promises, it’s putting public health at risk? Doctors warn new FDA-approved painkiller is deadly dangerous http://rt.com/usa/new-painkiller-deadly-dangerous-260/ Although the opiate Zohydro was ultimately approved by the US Food and Drug administration, that endorsement went against the recommendation given by the agency’s own advisory panel. The panel voted 11 – 2 against approving the drug, but the FDA argued its availability is necessary to help patients unfazed by current medication. The new drug hasn’t become available yet, but a group of more than 40 doctors is hoping to preempt its release by urging the FDA to reconsider its decision. According to the letter penned by the doctors, Zohydro is five to 10 times stronger than its nearest equivalent, Vicodin, and has the potential to cause a severe rise in overdose deaths. The doctors warned that the drug could potentially kill an individual after taking only two Zohydro capsules. A child, meanwhile, could suffer a fatal overdose from just one pill.

There are risks involved in living walking across a street could be fatal.
A few children may develop an adverse reaction to immunization.
But a very larger number are going to benefit.
Polio has been wiped out through immunization
Measles has been drastically reduced.
Whooping cough has also been drastically reduced.
I agree that society should have to pay for these benefits.
Any child that develops side affects should be more than adequately compensated but that is politics not to be confused with the benefits of immunization.
However what get my goat is that anyone can see their local priest and claim an exemption. Maybe the N.S.W. government should allow exemption
from wearing seat belts on religious grounds.
