In September 2018, The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) released its latest adverse events following immunization (CAEFISS) report spanning the four years between 2013-2016.  Once again Nelle Maxey, VCC’s vigilant science researcher has analyzed the report and provides commentary based on what she has learned in her five previous reports on Canada’s post-market, vaccine adverse events surveillance systems.

 

The four year Summary Report of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) is “beyond disappointing”, writes Maxey. It appears to be a well-calculated attempt to comply with reporting requirements without actually providing meaningful information. The report is sloppily written, poorly designed and not transparent.”  Despite the low quality and dearth of information provided by PHAC, Maxey provides us with comprehensive insight into Canada’s failing vaccine adverse events system while contrasting it to more transparent reporting systems in other countries.

 

For example, in the U.S.A and Australia, countries with vaccine schedules similar to Canada, reports of adverse events following vaccination are increasing as more vaccines are added to the childhood schedule.  Yet Canada is reporting fewer and fwer vaccine adverse events. WHY?  In the 10 year span from 2006 to 2016, there has been a 40% decline in Canadian AEFI reports. The recent CAEFISS report seems to take great pride in this decline, as if diminished reporting means that fewer vaccine reactions and injuries are happening.

 

We learn that Australia has recorded almost double the rate of serious adverse events (SAE) at 15% compared to Canada, which reported only 8% of all AEFI as being serious. While Canada’s population is increasing along with the number of vaccines given to children, we would expect to see an increase in AEFI reports as is happening in other countries. “Diminished reporting likely reflects an ideology on the part of medical professionals that vaccines are safe, rather than reflecting a genuine attempt to collect and analyze empirical data that could prove otherwise”, writes Maxey.

 

It is widely acknowledged that only one percent (1%) of vaccine adverse reactions are captured by government reporting systems, so the official numbers provided in CAEFISS reports here in Canada, or VAERS in the U.S. are only the bare tip of a destructive iatrogenic tornado threatening children’s health.  It is a gross misrepresentation of the actual numbers of vaccine adverse events and injuries that are driving the chronic disease epidemic in children today.

 

Disturbingly, Maxey observed that 80% of serious events are suffered by children. “As always, the youngest children who receive the most vaccinations in the shortest time period suffered the greatest number of serious adverse events.”

As a final comment Maxey writes, “if CAEFISS continues on this downward spiral of barely useful summary reports, trust in the Public Health Agency of Canada and their surveillance system will correspondingly continue to erode. It is becoming increasingly difficult for public interest groups like Vaccine Choice Canada to monitor vaccine safety in Canada since CAEFISS is not fulfilling its mandate. Canadians deserve reports on adverse event data that are meaningful, timely, and entirely transparent.”

 

In 2015 VCC researcher Nelle Maxey set out to compare the Canadian vaccine adverse events reporting system with the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), which became active in 1990 following the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act in 1986. Our goal was to analyze and compare the quality of data available in Canada and in the U.S. as well as compare ease of public access to vaccine associated reaction and injury reports submitted by medical personnel, vaccine manufacturers and the public in both countries. Unfortunately, this proved impossible.

 

In this first report, our investigation found that while vaccine adverse events data in the U.S. are readily accessible through a user friendly Med Alerts search engine, Canada operates a dual reporting system that is confusing, lacks transparency and is mostly inaccessible to the public.

 

From 1965–1987 physicians, pharmacists, public health nurses, hospitals, manufacturers and consumers reported adverse reactions to Health Canada for inclusion in the Canada Vigilance (CV) on-line database. These reports included reactions to vaccinations as well as all other drug products.

 

In 1988 the Canadian Adverse Events Following Immunization Surveillance System (CAEFISS) was established to specifically monitor adverse reactions to vaccinations. While this initiative increased the potential and ease for Health Canada (and later the Public Health Agency of Canada who inherited the CAEFISS database)  to track vaccine reactions, in reality, it represents a major setback in the public’s ability to access this data. Instead of creating a transparent, searchable database that includes details of vaccine reactions and injuries similar to VAERS, the CAEFISS data is kept secret and remains inaccessible to the public.

 

The only access to CAEFISS data is through a formal access to information request, or from summary reports released every few years at the discretion of the government.  The vast majority of vaccine-associated adverse events reports are routed to the CAEFISS database where they remain inaccessible to public scrutiny.

 

As an example of what is hidden and what is revealed, two full public reports on CAEFISS confirm that from 1992 to 2012 the CAEFISS database recorded 87,911 vaccine adverse reaction reports. Compare this to the publicly accessible Canada Vigilance database which recorded 551 reports or less than 1% of all adverse reaction reports on CAEFISS during those same years. Whatever the intent of the database reorganizations, the outcome for the public is that Canadians have no meaningful access to reports on adverse reactions following vaccinations.

 

 

Ted’s recent book, Dare to Question,  looks at the damage done by vaccines, especially to children. He believes the organized and intentional effort to deny citizens their right to make voluntary and informed medical decisions for themselves and their children is the greatest threat to humanity today. If we lose the capacity for choice over what is injected into ourselves and our children, if we lose our self-autonomy and bodily integrity, then we are no longer free citizens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The undisputed fact is we are experiencing “a failing state of children’s health”. There is an explosion of allergic/anaphylactic diseases, autoimmune diseases, mental illness, and cancers that now afflict infants and children on a scale never before seen. This is especially evident in the dramatic increase in autism, learning disabilities, ADHD, and seizure disorders.

 

Dear Friends,

We hope you continue to find our News Bulletins informative and helpful. While the Bulletins remain free to the public, please consider supporting our work by becoming a member of Vaccine Choice Canada. As a federally registered not-for-profit society, we are solely supported by our members. We do not receive any funding from corporate or government sources.  As such we are able to maintain intellectual freedom absent any conflicts of interest.

 

We believe that the public deserves access to solid, science based information about the impact of vaccines on children’s health, information that is not readily available from medical practitioners or government health agencies, all of whom uphold the vaccines are “safe and effective” mantra and all of whom have been unduly influenced by the pharmaceutical corporate sector.

VAERS Update Adverse Events Following HPV vaccination As of September 14, 2018, VAERS, the U.S. vaccine adverse events reporting system recorded 59,634 reactions following HPV (Gardasil) vaccines, of which 944 were life threatening.  There were 438 deaths. It is acknowledged that ONLY 1% of vaccine reactions and injuries are reported to government reporting systems.
