AMA Journal: Make Participation In Vaccine Trials Mandatory

AMA Journal: Make Participation In Vaccine Trials Mandatory









An article published by the American Medical Association’s Virtual Mentor
journal advocates making participation in vaccine trials mandatory,
arguing that people should be forced to take experimental shots in a
similar vein to how jury service is compulsory.


The article, written by Oxford University’s Susanne Sheehy and Joel Meyer, is entitled Should Participation in Vaccine Clinical Trials be Mandated?


Concerned about the “distressing decline in the
numbers of healthy volunteers who participate in clinical trials,” the
piece argues that “Compulsory involvement in vaccine studies” should be
considered for the “greater good of society.”<blockquote>
“Many
societies already mandate that citizens undertake activities for the
good of society; in several European countries registration for
organ-donation has switched from “opt-in” (the current U.S. system) to
“opt-out” systems (in which those who do not specifically register as
nondonors are presumed to consent to donation) [10], and most societies
expect citizens to undertake jury service when called upon. In these
examples, the risks or inconvenience to an individual are usually
limited and minor. Mandatory involvement in vaccine trials is therefore
perhaps more akin to military conscription, a policy operating today
in 66 countries. In both conscription and obligatory trial
participation, individuals have little or no choice regarding
involvement and face inherent risks over which they have no control,
all for the greater good of society.”</blockquote>
Using
the example of military conscription – the draft – to justify the idea
of compulsory participation in vaccine trials, illustrates how the
whole idea is completely rooted in authoritarian tendencies. The draft
has its historical origins in slavery and has largely been abolished by
developed nations.


And if you thought the use of the term “for the
greater good of society” wasn’t downright creepy enough, the authors
later propose tackling society’s reluctance to accept compulsory
recruitment to vaccine trials by virtually advocating the arrival of a
more deadly disease than swine flu in order to ensure “compulsory
recruitment becomes a more palatable option.”
“Consider
an infectious disease with a high transmission and mortality rate for
which vaccine development were possible but limited by a shortage of
volunteers willing to participate in clinical trials. Would mandatory
participation in clinical trials then be an acceptable policy?” ask the
authors, ruminating on how an “Increase (in) the severity of the
disease in question,” would increase the likelihood of society
accepting mandatory vaccine trials.


The authors conclude by bemoaning ethical
considerations that would present a roadblock to the effort to force
people to take experimental vaccines, proposing instead that a system
of “mandated choice” be introduced to coerce people into agreeing to be
given the shots.


Mandating that people take experimental vaccines
is of course completely abhorrent, it violates the fundamental human
right not to be forcibly medicated, and harks back to the dark days of
eugenics, mandatory sterilizations, and episodes like the Tuskegee
syphilis experiment.


The very reason why less people are willing to
volunteer for vaccine trials is the fact that vaccines, whether
approved or experimental, have been responsible for deaths and injuries
worldwide in increasing numbers. The United States, which administers
the highest number of vaccines to babies, has the highest infant
mortality rate out of all developed nations, a connection that is no coincidence according to a recent medical study published in a prestigious medical journal.
Indeed, earlier this month GlaxoSmithKline was fined $93,000 dollars for its role in an experimental vaccine program in Argentina that killed 14 babies between 2007 and 2008.


For this authoritarian premise to even be
considered in the AMA’s ‘Journal of Ethics’ is shocking, but the
increasing move towards making vaccines mandatory is a wider
phenomenon.


Last year, California passed a law that allows children to be given the Gardasil shot, which has been linked with thousands of adverse reactions and dozens of deaths, without parental consent.


Parents who try to remove their children from
the ever-expanding list of “required” vaccine programs for school-age
kids are being targeted by law enforcement. When Rachel Garmon told her
doctor that she had taken the decision not to vaccinate her healthy 2
and a half year old son, she was subsequently visited
by a Pennsylvania State Trooper who was tasked with investigating her
“suspicious behavior,” despite the fact that Pennsylvania is one of the
many states that allows vaccination exemptions on both religious and
medical grounds.


The AMA article represents a shocking insight
into the control freak tendencies of some of today’s most influential
medical minds. Forcing people to take part in experimental vaccine
trials that pose a serious risk to their health is totally contemptible
and has no place in a free society.
