Vaccine Education and Medical Training Issues

Regarding vaccines, and these are the things that I'd like to highlight.

Number one,

there is no education in medical schools that

I am aware of, and being an educator at the Cleveland

Clinic Lerner

College of Medicine and Case Western Reserve University,

I am not

aware of education around vaccines,

their contents,

safety records, informed consent,

or the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

We do not discuss that in nineteen eighty-six,

Congress enacted

legislation removing all liability from pharma related

to vaccine adverse events.

What are we taught about vaccines?

We are taught to memorize the vaccine

schedule. And actually, I'm gonna be sitting for my family

medicine boards this year,

and I am sure that I will have to memorize that schedule again in order to

pass that exam.

We don't discuss

that almost four billion dollars, with a B,

has been paid to vaccine-injured patients since nineteen ninety-two.

For medical professionals, we expect fair balance,

but vaccines seem to be absolved from that consideration.

Number two,

there appears to be a conflict of interest regarding payments

to providers for completing vaccine schedules.

And a corollary to that, which would be number three, patients

are being

dismissed from practices

because of, quote, unquote, "vaccine safety concerns."

If you bring up a question about a vaccine and you decide not to vaccinate your

child, you may be at risk of being terminated

from that practice.

Absolutely deplorable and disgusting.

Number four, and again, to the Bailey family, I'm really sorry,

but employers are forcing employees to receive the flu vaccine

or face corrective action or job loss.

And the fact that your dad was six months from retiring is...

There's a le-- number five, there's a lack of informed consent,

and I was one of

those providers who didn't

provide safety sheets before vaccinating.

I would tell the parents, "These are the vaccines today.

We're gonna give you three vaccines in one leg and two in the other."

And then after vaccinating either the child or the adult patient,

"Here's your information sheet." And again, to be completely transparent

with you,

I had no idea that there was even a mention

of the compensation program or a telephone number to call.

Absolutely deplorable on my part, and I apologize to y--

my patients.

Number six, there's a lack of transparency regarding

vaccine complications.

And worse,

you're being shamed as patients

for suggesting that you were harmed by a vaccine.

If I see a patient in the office and diagnose strep throat and give

them penicillin,

and either the mom or the patient themselves calls

and tells me that they

developed a rash, there is zero question.

The chart now states they have an allergy to penicillin and will never be

given it again.

Why don't we believe parents and patients

when they tell us they have had an adverse event regarding a

vaccine? It doesn't make sense to me as a medical

professional.

I apologize for the-- being emotional.
