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.
