Sub: Jana Swasthya Abhiyan Reveals 1,28,375 children affected by AFP since introduction of OPV into India.

Respected Sir,

Please accept my pranam and best wishes for a very happy new year.

The
figure of children adversely affected by the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV),
provided by the Jana Swasthya Abhiyan and reproduced below, is only up
to 2006.
Subsequently the OPV1 was unethically introduced into
India and experimented on Indian children. As per senior doctors of the
IMA who have privately confided in me, the
OPV1 has increased the rate of AFP cases by up to five times. We could
easily have more than two lakh official cases in India.

Unofficially,
as per a Telegraph report in 2006, the cases up to that year were
3,00,000. I doubt even this figure. The real incidence should be much higher. Polio is not just cases of
paralysis of the limbs or AFP. It is also aseptic meningitis, cerebral
palsy, Guillain Barre Syndrome, Coxsackie Virus. All the statistics must be combined.

Again, we really do
not know how the OPV, administered orally, is doing to the intestinal health of
infants. Dr Pushpa Bhargava has told me personally that we do not know enough about intestinal
immunity to trust the OPV.

The OPV, which consists of a live virus, is inducing the disease in the children. All the adverse effects of the vaccine should be considered as polio and compensated. Even a person who handles the diapers of a freshly inoculated child is at risk.

There are 60 carcinogenic viruses in the monkey
serum used in OPV which have been identified so far before the research project was aborter for 'the greater good'. The Simian
Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) that is almost exactly similar to the HIV
that causes AIDS in humans also was transferred to humans via the OPV
and the Small Pox vaccine.

We
do not know how many have been killed by the vaccine. Medical records
are 'kept free' of such incidences so that the public is not 'unduly
alarmed'.

The
OPV causes diarrhoea. The Rotavirus vaccine (another very controversial
vaccine) is being offered in India as a solution to the increase in
cases of diarrhoea. Do we now have a vaccine that is actually preying
on the damage caused by another vaccine to promote itself? There are a
lot of questions to be answered.

I
do not understand how the medical establishment
prefers to keep quiet. In Orissa people are threatened by the
administration if they do not allow their children or grandchildren to
be administered the OPV. Recently the Government of India has gagged
the press and warned them not to report OPV adverse effects. People
working to protect children are being openly threatened with dire
consequences. There is a doctor couple in Orissa who have lost a child
to the OPV and the other is paralysed waist down. They are too scared
to complain!! This shows how barbaric the campaign has been in this
avowedly democratic country of ours.

What are we doing? Are we not jeopardising
our entire future? Are we not helping the country to disintegrate? We have exposed the children of this country
to horrible risks.

We need to identify the children and
find out lawyers who will fight their cases. We demand for Rs.
20,00,000 per child victim and not the paltry 2 lakhs that a court has recently
awarded to the parents of a child killed by the OPV, that too after a potracted litigation of 10 long years.

We
should also remember that the IPV, which is being projected as a
solution to this grim scenario carries similar risks. It is behind all
the polio cases in the USA today. It also causes the dreaded Guillain
Barre Syndrome and has the same set of simian viruses that the OPV
contains. Officials in the US have conceded that the carcinogenic
simian viruses continue to be in the polio vaccines.

I do not
have words to condemn the entire episode. The medical community is
crying for protection and have been provided the same whereas it is the
patients who need to be protected from them.

I would sincerely
request you to kindly ensure that the OPV is immediately discontinued
and a drive to identify the children affected by the OPV is initiated
so that they may be suitably compensated. Instead of depending upon
medical records a fact finding team consisting of ethical doctors and
public representatives must be entrusted with this job. We owe it to
the children of this state of ours.

A friend of mine has sent me this. Which is definitely sarcastic. Let's hope that the Orissa Govt will do the needful at the earliest.

I request all concern to appeal to the Government to look into this matter and act immediately.
