2008 Draft Strategic National Vaccine Plan [Note, the site reads 2008, not a typo.]
The 2008 draft strategic National Vaccine Plan is the initial step in updating the 1994 National Vaccine Plan. The National Vaccine Program Office (NVPO) coordinated the planning effort with (your Agency/Office), other HHS agencies, the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, and the U.S. Agency for International Development. The National Vaccine Program Office website describes the process in more detail in the Introduction document, and the draft Plan can be reviewed there. NVPO is seeking comments about the draft Plan from interested stakeholders and the public. If you have comments, please email NVPO at [email protected].
I am with Autism Grandma, as another grandma...I don't see the point. Get it off your chest? Maybe...but what good will it do to a multi million dollar agency? The only thing they listen to is money. Profits. Margins. Perception of safety-critical mass opinion. Toyota out of control accelorator cars get more attention, than infants and children dying and being maimed. Unbelievable world we live in.

OOOPS...Missed the deadline. I used to send in my comments to these meetings, even though I knew that nothing I said, or anyone else said about vaccines and autism was going to go anywhere except into their trash can. I still felt that I had the moral obligation to "State my Case"....
Call me Cynical but what good does it do. Everyone running the show in every single associated agency KNOWS THE TRUTH already, that the single biggest cause of autism is the vaccines. All of these so called "experts" are being paid the big bucks to "pretend that they are protecting the interests of our children", when in reality they are simply co-conspiring to keep the truth from being exposed.
I would love to see the vaccine records of all of these people at the top of all of the government agencies connected with vaccines---Betcha they don't have their own children follow the vaccine schedule because if anyone knows the risks involved it is THEM. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of their children are totally unvaccinated, or minimally vaccinated. They've heard enough of our stories to know that they certainly don't want to have to live our lives. The only question I have for all of the people running this huge scam is "How do you sleep at night?"

EVERYTHING IS STACKED AGAINST US. ITS A WONDER ANY OF US CAN STILL BREATHE.
---From the transcript of 9-17-09 meeting.--
MS. HOIBERG: DOJ continues and the attorneys continue to get a paycheck throughout their time in fighting these different cases. The petitioners’ attorneys, you have to wait until the case is settled and hope to God that you get interim fees and then like I said before, mortgage your house. These petitioners’ attorneys are running a business. The DOJ attorneys really –- it is a job to them. They go to this case this time and work on that case this time. They don’t have to worry about taking care of family or anything like that and hoping that the case gets finished faster.
Like I said before, I think that the playing field should be leveled. I think that the DOJ attorneys should have to pay for their own experts and I think that they should have to go without pay or until the case is over. I think that the cases would be settled much faster because you guys have nothing to lose. You have nothing to lose. These petitioners’ attorneys have everything to lose and they have clients. These children are dying because they can’t afford to get the care that they need. It is ridiculous. They actually make it to the court and to have a special master who doesn’t care about anything but to protect the vaccines. The fact that you have only compensated a little over 2,000 people in 20 years is disgusting where it is way more that could have been injured. The fact that you guys are so proud that there is $3 billion sitting in the fund - it should be going down not up.

OMG -- DOJ rep discussing appeals process of vax injury cases; someone joking that they usually don't understand all the conversations of immunogenicity of vaccines, happy to instead be listening to easy to understand legal procedures. Hardy har har.

Revising last meeting's minutes to reflect the committee's substantial frustration with the lack of ease with which they got the Banyan contract (had to FOIA).

Interesting...people should certainly call and get their voices heard.

Are ther any members on this panel who represent those of us who believe vaccines have contributed to the autism epidemic, or is this panel totally stacked against us? If so, who are they?
