2001 STATEMENT BY BARBARA LOE FISHER
NATIONAL
VACCINE INFORMATION CENTER
ON LYME
VACCINE SAFETY
As a parent of a DPT vaccine injured son, my heart goes out to all of the
adults and children who have suffered devastating health problems after either
Lyme infection or Lyme vaccination. The pain and suffering, whether from a
disease or a vaccine, is the same and we must find more effective ways to treat
and prevent Lyme disease.
From a consumer advocate perspective, putting the public back in public
health means being truthful with the people about the benefits and risks of any
medical intervention and allowing fully informed, voluntary decision-making. If
vaccine manufacturers and health officials are not honest with people about
vaccine risks and write off serious health problems following vaccination as
mere “coincidences,” as has happened with the Lyme
vaccine,
then the people are going to lose faith in the vaccine system.
Karen and Tom Forschner had faith that the system would work when they
joined with federal health agencies and a vaccine manufacturer to support
development of a Lyme vaccine. Now they cannot turn away from the terrible
suffering that has resulted from inadequate disease treatment and use of a
vaccine that is just too reactive.
We need to do everything we can to insure the highest standards are
maintained for vaccine licensing and policymaking in order to truly protect the
public health. The National Vaccine Information Center stands ready to work with
the Lyme Disease Foundation, scientists, legislators and public health officials
to do what it takes to develop more effective treatments for Lyme disease and
make sure that there is full public disclosure by
vaccine
manufacturers and health officials of all risks as well as benefits of any
vaccine on the market.
