1. General Comments
|
I strongly DISAGREE with the rationale and the morality and ethical issues of this study.
A. You don't use children as guinea pigs for a live virus that already has been shown to cause damage.
B. Fear of bioterrorism is the (supposed) reason for this study. Fear based, hasty thinking has always produced more damage than the object of that fear...
C. There are several well proven (though not 'double blind'...) modes of preventing Small Pox other than injecting yet more viruses into children.
D. No 'Informed Consent' on the part of the parents sacrificing their kids for this experiment will really be informed, as the FDA is not informed enough about this vaccine.
Listen to the public, the rational and not fear-based public, that is.
