Pneumococcal
Vaccine aka Prevnar
Sign an online petition to stop this!
The FDA cleared yesterday a controversial
new pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine with questionable safety and a US
government advisory panel is planning to selectively target black children
and Native American children for immunization. This plan is being criticized
for making children of certain racial minorities "human guinea
pigs". It is possible that 1% or more of the children who receive
the vaccine may develop insulin dependent diabetes or another autoimmune
disease from the vaccine.
