Introduction

Lest any take this reviewer's remarks as those of someone who is anti-vaccine, this reviewer again reiterates that, given the scientific information available, he currently supports national vaccination programs for those vaccines that have truly been proven to be both generally safe and medically cost-effective, provided the individual parent's constitutional right to "due process of law" is neither abridged nor ignored.

Having made clear his position as an advocate for:
a. Banning the use of mercury compounds in medicine
to safen vaccines,
b. Vaccine safety, and
c. Medically cost-effective vaccines, this reviewer will now assess the statements made in this report.

Unfortunately, whether inhaled, introduced into the skin or injected, vaccines expose our immune systems to a number of non-disease-related vaccine components (serum, adventitious organisms, antibiotics, toxins [Thimerosal, aluminum adjuvants, 2-phenoxyethanol] and food substances [e.g., gelatin, MSG, egg albumin]) that present their own immune-system risks to the people being vaccinated.
