Homeland Security Bill Assailed by Public Health Expert:

Says Vaccine Policy “Pork” Reflects “Fourth Reich Mentality”

Sandpoint, ID —The Bush administration’s Homeland Security Bill that infers protection for drug makers against vaccine injury cases was voraciously attacked by a public health authority and consumer health advocate this morning on Worldwide Christian Radio (WWCR). Dr. Leonard Horowitz, the talk show host who is also an Honorary U.S. Autism Ambassador, likened the bill to “genocidal policy” reflecting a callous “Fourth Reich political mentality.”

A number of medical and legal authorities voiced similar outraged at the sneaky politics in which Bush administration officials, in collusion with industry lobbyists, advanced the drug company protection clause in a bill allegedly developed to protect the American people.

“It is absolutely disgraceful that even Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), who chairs the Government Reform Committee hearings into the skyrocketing rates of autism, and who has reviewed CDC-secreted scientific documents linking vaccines and vaccine components to damaged brains and hundreds of thousands of behaviorally impaired children, failed to read the ‘fine print’ and voted for the bill,” Dr. Horowitz told his international audience.

Now that the bill has passed, it will be virtually impossible for vaccine injury attorneys to sue drug companies, and make them accountable to large classes of people who have been injured by vaccines or vaccine ingredients.

This amounts to a “free license to kill,” Dr. Horowitz said. “This legislation not only impacts the victims of mercury poisoning, but equally guarantees that other ongoing class action lawsuits, such as those waged on behalf of polio vaccine recipients who developed cancer from monkey virus contaminations, will have no legal recourse.”

Nor will those affected by Gulf War Syndrome as a result of drug and vaccine side effects, military personnel recently inoculated who became ill from anthrax vaccinations, and claimants who cite recent studies increasingly proving early hepatitis B vaccines triggered the international AIDS pandemic.

Dr. Horowitz had criticized the Government Reform Committee last April during his oral and written testimony before the group (See: “Disease Deities on Capitol Hill Address Autism” at www.healingcelebrations.com.) He reiterated this morning, “The greatest risk to ‘homeland security’ is being generated by the radical “white collar terrorists” we have directing political and public health policies. They use fear to command compliance with back-room shady dealings that put deadly agendas and profits before people while neglecting the scientific facts.”

Excerpts from Dr. Horowitz’s “The Insight Hour,” broadcast over the Genesis Communications Radio Network internationally by way of WWCR, including this morning’s show, are freely downloaded from: www.insighthour.net and www.scifiles.net. He urged everyone listening to contact their legislators and pass this message of truth on to others in an effort to rescind this legislation at a later date as promised by leading Democrats. The topic will be addressed again on Wednesday morning at 11AM (EST, 8AM PST) with listener call in.
