The proponents of mandated chickenpox vaccination of children pronounce that over 100
die of chickenpox each year. They do not emphasize, however, that it is adults who are at
higher risk and that they will not be required to be vaccinated! The
numbers above show that in 1997 (the last year available) no children died from chickenpox
in New York.
In testimony before Congress, the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons
stated:
Striking increases in chronic illnesses have occurred in temporal association with an
increase in vaccination rates. Asthma and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, causes of
lifelong morbidity and frequent premature death, have nearly doubled in incidence since
the introduction of many new, mandatory vaccines. There is no explanation for this
increase. The temporal association, although not probative, is suggestive and demands
intense investigation. Instead of following up on earlier, foreign studies suggesting a
greater-than-chance association, the CDC, through vaccine mandates, is obliterating the
control group (unvaccinated children).
