DO BUND POLIO: An investigative report by IBN7.(Two Drops of Polio)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Today the IBN7, an Indian TV channel, finally revealed the extent of
damage wrought by the OPV in India. From Uttar Pradesh in the North to
Kerala in the South, wailing mothers and grim fathers recounted how the OPV
has paralysed their children. Though vehemently denied by the health
authorities, the reporters narrated how the vaccine vials also revealed
contamination due to lax quality controls. What the investigators did not
reveal is that the OPV has been the prime cause of Accute Flaccid Paralysis
all over the world, the reason why it has been pulled out of the vaccination
schedule of all developed countries.
It was very tough to remain sane when we saw a paralysed female
child in Kerala trying bravely to regain strength in her legs through
physiotherapy. Even more sad was the statement of the mother, pregnant with
another child, who sobbed, "I will not commit the mistake of vaccinating
this child". Another father, a healthworker, recounted how he went from
house to house asking parents to vaccinate their children while the same
vaccine paralysed his daughter. A little girl showed a deep scar in her leg
where a futile surgery had been carried out to try and rectify the glitch.
They were surrounded by worried villagers many of whom recounted how such
stories were pouring in since a long time. All who were interviewed said
they would no longer risk the vaccines.
How long should we remain silent? How many of us know that even
members of the Immunisation Committee too are wary of vaccines? Why are
their voices and also of paediatricians and conscientious doctors not being
heard? Who or what is the force behind this evil jaggernaut? WHO? Or is it
our own government which is torturing our children and spoiling their lives?
I have written countless letters on the issue to EVERYBODY right
from our Honourable President, Prime Minister, Health Minister, Women and
Child Development Minister, Speaker, Opposition Leaders, doctors
associations, scientific bodies, and have been greeted with an eerie
silence. WHY?
It is high time answers should start coming. What kind of a science
tries to cover up the blame? The aim of science should be to save our lives
and yet countless lives are lost pursuing a false dream that one day this
perversion will help us achieve immortality. Well, its shenanigans will be
immortal for sure. When will our spineless doctors and scientists sit up and
take notice? Is it the job of the public to clean up the mess?
And yes, the Polio Eradication Inititative should be renamed the
National Polio Distribution Programme. And the entire vaccination schedule
be renamed the National Disease Programme. Let us start speaking the truth
for a change. Over 40,00,000 autistic children and 3,00,000 victims of the
OPV cannot galvanise the government. This is much much worse than the
farmers suicides. This is a suicide of the national conscience.
