Three articles recently crossed the news wire related to Mad Cow disease (BSE) and a Polio Vaccine recall. Click the links below for the source articles.
From the Electronic Telegraph: Polio vaccine withdrawn after mad cow contamination fears
According to the article, “Eleven million doses of polio vaccine containing material from British cattle have been administered to children and adults since BSE vaccine guidelines banned its use in 1989, the Department of Health said yesterday.”
The article states that “production of the vaccine ceased last month, but supplies continued to be sent to doctors.” The article also states that since the “guidelines have no legal force, no action can be taken.” That means drug-pushing vaccine makers can poison the public and yet not be held accountable for their actions.
From The UK Times: Vaccine recalled over BSE fears
According to the article, the polio vaccine was pulled as the result of “a breach of health guidelines in the manufacture of the vaccine.”
From JAMA: FDA Calls Bovine-Based Vaccines Currently Safe
According to the JAMA article, even though the FDA recommended in 1993 that US manufacturers of vaccines “not use materials from animals in countries reporting BSE”, some manufacturers continued to do so ignoring any advice the FDA had given seven years ago.
