PIC Releases Educational Documents; States ‘DTaP Vaccine Is Not Proven Safer Than Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis’


New reader-friendly materials help parents compare disease risks to vaccine risks 

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 21, 2023 (Newswire.com) – Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has introduced three new educational documents to assist parents in comparing the risks of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) to the risks of the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) vaccine. The documents provide important data compiled from sources such as the National Center for Health Statistics and add to the organization’s growing collection of infectious disease and vaccine resources.

New documents in the collection include:

  • “Diphtheria – Disease Information Statement (DIS)”
  • “Tetanus – Disease Information Statement (DIS)”
  • “DTaP – Vaccine Risk Statement (VRS)”

The “Pertussis (Whooping Cough) – Disease Information Statement (DIS)” was published earlier this year.

“I remember being a new mom and worrying about childhood infections and SIDS,” said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. “Back then it took so long to dig up the relevant scientific data to weigh the risk of the infection versus the risk of the vaccine. Today we’re pleased to again provide more educational resources that make it a lot easier for parents to do the math.”

Key facts from the documents include the following:

  • In the modern era, it is rare to contract a fatal case of diphtheria, tetanus or pertussis in the United States. Between 1900 and 1945, before widespread use of the DTP vaccine, the mortality rate of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis dropped significantly (by 97%, 79% and 92% respectively) due to advancements in living conditions, sanitation, nutrition, and health care.
  • In the absence of mass vaccination, for children under age 10, the annual risk of fatal diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis respectively is 1 in 1.7 million (or 0.00006%), 1 in 784,000 (or 0.0001%), and 1 in 323,000 (or 0.0003%) — and the cumulative annual risk of a fatal case of any of those diseases is about 1 in 200,000 (or 0.0005%).
  • DTaP is a descendant of the DTP vaccine, which was introduced in 1948; it contains aluminum, a neurotoxin. The DTaP vaccine does not prevent asymptomatic infection or the spread of diphtheria or pertussis, and it has no effect on the transmission of tetanus because tetanus is not contagious.
  • The Institute of Medicine has not ruled out the possibility that DTaP vaccination can lead to neurological disorders (e.g., encephalitis, infantile spasms, ataxia, autism, transverse myelitis, optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and Bell’s palsy), autoimmune diseases (e.g., chronic urticaria, serum sickness, and arthropathy), myocarditis, and sudden infant death syndrome.
  • The manufacturer’s package insert states that the DTaP vaccine has “not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or impairment of fertility.”
  • The DTaP vaccine has not been proven safer than diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis.

PIC Releases Educational Documents Showing Chicken Pox (Varicella) Vaccine Has Not Been Proven Safer Than Chicken Pox

Free educational materials help parents make better informed vaccination decisions

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., October 24, 2023 – Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has introduced two new educational documents, “Varicella (Chicken Pox): What Parents Need to Know” and “Varicella Vaccine: Is It Safer Than Chicken Pox?” The educational materials include key scientific data on the risks of chicken pox as well as the risks of the varicella vaccine, assisting parents in making a more informed risk-benefit calculation for vaccination.

“Now more than ever, parents are motivated to learn more about the risks of childhood infections and their respective vaccines — and they want to know the numbers,” said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. “Although many parents remember from experience that chicken pox is generally benign, as the chicken pox vaccine is required for childcare and school attendance in all states, and with no religious or personal belief exemption in five states including California, we’re pleased to now make available for free a Disease Information Statement and Vaccine Risk Statement for chicken pox.”

Important facts from the Varicella (Chicken Pox) Disease Information Statement (DIS) are as follows:

  • More than 96% of new varicella infections are benign and not reported to public health departments.
  • Fatal cases of varicella are rare in the United States. Before the introduction of the varicella vaccination program, 1 in 40,000 or 0.003% of varicella cases were fatal.
  • Because varicella resolves on its own in almost all cases, usually only rest and hydration are necessary.
  • Immune globulin is available to treat immunocompromised patients who are exposed to chicken pox, such as those on chemotherapy.

Key facts from the Varicella (Chicken Pox) Vaccine Risk Statement (VRS) are as follows:

  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states, “It is not known how long a vaccinated person is protected against varicella.”
  • The Institute of Medicine has not ruled out the possibility that varicella vaccination can lead to stroke as well as several neurological and autoimmune disorders, including encephalopathy, cerebellar ataxia, transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, small fiber neuropathy, arthropathy, and thrombocytopenia.
  • Seizures may occur in about 1 in 940 children vaccinated with the varicella vaccine.
  • A study published in The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal shows the varicella vaccine may cause permanent injury 44 times more often than fatal varicella.
  • The chicken pox (varicella) vaccine has not been proven safer than chicken pox.

To safeguard children’s health, parents need access to balanced educational information on infectious diseases and vaccines. PIC makes scientific data freely available through its education program, a growing collection of concise, reader-friendly educational materials that support parents, physicians, and policymakers in calculating the risk-benefit ratio of vaccination.

Physicians for Informed Consent Shares Win for Freedom of Speech and Health Freedom, as Legislature and Governor Repeal Controversial AB 2098 COVID-19 Law

Now PIC and allies file motion to directly challenge medical board’s claimed authority to censor California doctors’ recommendations

Newport Beach, Calif., October 7, 2023 (Newswire) –

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), a nonprofit educational organization focused on science and statistics, has been advocating for physicians’ right to free speech and protecting its physician members from being investigated for so-called “COVID-19 misinformation” since early 2022. In a letter to the California legislature, PIC founder and president Dr. Shira Miller wrote, “Without California doctors being free to speak their mind and educate the public, regarding COVID-19 or vaccination or any other controversial topic, no other public health laws will matter as legislators will not be able to obtain knowledge from a breadth of physician and surgeon opinions, and the public will not be able to obtain their doctors’ honest opinion—because doctors who think and act differently from the contemporary ‘applicable standard of care’ will fear losing their medical license. Section 2234.1 of the Business and Professions Code respects and protects doctors who think outside the box.”

Per PIC general counsel, Greg Glaser, Esq., when one of PIC’s members was investigated by the medical board for speaking out (at a Zoom schoolboard meeting) against the government’s response to the pandemic, the organization helped organize and fund a lawsuit challenging the investigation on First Amendment grounds; Shortly after the case was filed, the medical board dropped the investigation.

After AB 2098 passed, PIC was one of several plaintiffs that filed a First Amendment free speech lawsuit. The PIC case, Hoang v. Bonta—primarily funded by Children’s Health Defense—was led by health care attorney Rick Jaffe, Esq. and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; and on January 25, 2023, the PIC case and the related Hoeg v. Newsom case together secured a preliminary injunction barring enforcement of the law against each plaintiff.

Last week the California legislature discretely repealed AB 2098/B&P §2270 by passing SB 815—which Governor Newsom then promptly signed. In response, Dr. Miller said, “This is a pivotal win and indirect indication that AB 2098 was unconstitutional; however, as our original First Amendment lawsuit may now be moot, and AB 2098’s original author Assemblyman Evan Low has publicized his belief that ‘the Medical Board of California will continue to maintain the authority to hold medical licensees accountable for deviating from the standard of care and misinforming their patients about COVID-19 treatments,’ and we know of at least one physician who currently is still being investigated, we are continuing the effort to safeguard California’s physicians’ right to free speech.” In turn, PIC filed a first amended complaint (2:22-cv-02147-WBS-AC) to directly challenge the medical boards’ claimed authority “to censor, investigate or prosecute or sanction physicians for their protected speech under the general standard of care statutes.” COVID-19 alternative treatment heroes Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Brian Tyson have been added as plaintiffs.

Physicians for Informed Consent States, 'For Normal-Risk Children, the Polio Vaccine is Not Proven Safer Than Polio Infection'


New Educational Materials Provide Important Data on Polio and the Polio Vaccine

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., September 7, 2023 (Newswire.com) – Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has introduced two new educational documents, “Polio: What Parents Need to Know” and “IPV Vaccine: Is It Safer Than Polio?” Packed with key statistical data on the risk of polio as well as the risk of the IPV (inactivated poliovirus) vaccine, the documents assist parents in making a more informed risk-benefit calculation for vaccination.

“Now more than ever, people have concerns about vaccines on the childhood vaccination schedule, and a question we hear all the time is ‘What about polio?’” said Greg Glaser, general counsel and national coalition director for Physicians for Informed Consent. “These new documents scientifically address this question, so more parents can research the vaccine and decide what’s best for their children.”

The following is a summary of essential facts included in the documents.

Polio – Disease Information Statement (DIS):

  • About 95% of people who contract polio have no symptoms (asymptomatic).
  • The great majority of polio infections that are fatal or result in permanent paralysis occur in people who have had their tonsils surgically removed (tonsillectomy) or do not rest after feeling sick.
  • Before the introduction of the polio vaccine in 1955, paralytic poliomyelitis was a disease of low incidence, occurring in about 1 in 22,000 or 0.005% in the U.S. population.
  • Before the polio vaccine was introduced, about 0.0005% (1 in 190,000) of children at normal risk contracted polio that was fatal or led to permanent paralysis.

Polio – Vaccine Risk Statement (VRS):

  • The polio vaccine does not prevent asymptomatic infection or transmission.
  • The Institute of Medicine has not ruled out the possibility that IPV vaccination can lead to Guillain-Barré syndrome or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
  • Seizures may occur in about 1 in 829 children vaccinated with IPV vaccine.
  • A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) shows an IPV-containing vaccine may cause permanently injury 38 times more often than permanent injury from polio infection.
  • The polio vaccine has not been proven safer than polio infection for normal-risk children.

“As polio is so feared in our culture, the data we reveal is paradigm-shifting,” said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. “Our educational documents show that for normal-risk children the polio vaccine is not proven safer than polio infection — which has serious implications for both children’s health and vaccine mandates for school attendance.”

To protect and enhance children’s health, it’s necessary that parents have access to reliable infectious disease and vaccine educational information. PIC makes scientific data freely available through its education program, a growing collection of concise, reader-friendly educational materials that support parents, physicians, and policymakers in calculating the risk-benefit ratio of vaccination. To read the newest DIS and VRS documents on polio and the IPV vaccine, visit physiciansforinformedconsent.org/polio.

Physicians for Informed Consent Releases New Documents on Risks of Whooping Cough and the Pertussis Vaccine

The One-Page Educational Documents Provide Answers to Important Questions About the Whooping Cough Vaccine

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 5, 2023 (Newswire.com) – Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has released two new educational documents packed with critical statistical data on pertussis (whooping cough) and the pertussis vaccine (DTaP and Tdap). With information compiled from sources such as the National Center for Health Statistics, the PIC documents help parents compare disease risks to vaccine risks, in order to make more informed vaccination decisions.

Because six doses of the pertussis-containing vaccine are injected into infants and children, beginning at 2 months of age, it’s important to know the relevant statistical data concerning vaccination. Through the PIC documents “Pertussis (Whooping Cough) – Disease Information Statement (DIS)” and “Pertussis (Whooping Cough) – Vaccine Risk Statement (VRS),” readers will:

  • Learn what parents need to know about whooping cough infection
  • Understand the basics about the whooping cough vaccine (DTaP and Tdap)
  • Learn the risks of the whooping cough vaccine and the limitations of safety research
  • Assess whether the whooping cough vaccine is safer than whooping cough infection

“There are two very illuminating points about whooping cough and its vaccine that are explained in PIC’s Pertussis DIS and VRS,” said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. “One is that it’s estimated that even without mass vaccination the risk of an American infant dying of whooping cough is about 1 in 46,000 or 0.002%, and the other is that an FDA study indicates that the whooping cough vaccine doesn’t prevent asymptomatic infection or the spread of infection. This shows how unscientific it is to exclude kids who haven’t had the whooping cough vaccine from attending private or public schools — which is happening in California and a few other states; especially because all the whooping cough vaccines currently contain aluminum — a known neurotoxin.”

Many parents aren’t aware that in the 1980s, lawsuits against vaccine makers were mounting due to severe vaccine injuries in children, and vaccine manufacturers threatened to stop producing vaccines. In reaction to this threat, Congress established the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. Through this law, manufacturers and healthcare professionals became exempt from liability for vaccine injuries and deaths. A no-fault compensation system was devised, and parents and taxpayers — instead of vaccine manufacturers and physicians — were made to carry the responsibility and burden of children’s vaccine injuries and deaths.

To protect children’s health, it’s essential that parents are able to access reliable infectious disease and vaccine education. PIC makes scientific data freely available with its education program, a growing collection of concise, reader-friendly one-page educational documents that support parents, physicians and policymakers in calculating the risk-benefit ratio of vaccination.

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes Proposed HPV Vaccine Mandate in California Schools

3/22/23 Update: HPV Vaccine Mandate for Grades 8-12 Blocked in California. Legislative Debate Now Shifts to Colleges.

What can you do? Read the PIC position letter and TAKE ACTION below.

March 5, 2023

Re: AB 6591 (Aguiar-Curry, Weiner); HPV vaccine mandate for all public and private schools in California, with no religious or conscientious exemption

Position: Oppose

Dear California Legislators,

On behalf of Physicians for Informed Consent, a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit organization, I am writing to oppose AB 659 because it has not been scientifically proven that the HPV vaccine poses less risks than HPV infection and because HPV is sexually transmitted.

Please consider the following:

  1. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus, with over 200 different types, which is transmitted sexually, generally causes no symptoms, and 90% of the time resolves spontaneously within two years.2,3
  2. Cervical cancer, representing 0.7%4 of all cancers, is the most common HPV-related cancer and most frequently occurs in women aged 35–49 (average age of diagnosis is 50) — it is rarely diagnosed in women younger than 205,6 and is six times more common in women with HIV.7 Together, Pap and HPV testing can successfully screen 95% of potential cervical cancers.8
  3. In California, between 1999–2019, there have been about 400–500 cervical cancer deaths every year, which is a rate of about 2.1–2.9 per 100,000.9 Overall, 97% of deaths from HPV-related cancers are in high-risk populations (i.e., smoking, women not screened every three years, and risky sexual behavior),10 and the annual risk of an average-risk person dying from an HPV-related cancer is about 1 in 900,000.11
  4. The currently available HPV vaccine consists of proteins (virus-like particles) made from yeast through recombinant DNA technology for nine different types of HPV, and 500 mcg of aluminum,12 which are injected intramuscularly in three separate doses.13
  5. The HPV vaccine was first approved in 2006 after clinical trials; however, the placebo was not inert and contained aluminum,14 and serious adverse events have been reported,15 so its safety is controversial and currently being litigated in California.16
  6. The purpose of the HPV vaccine is to prevent HPV-related genital warts and cancers and its effectiveness up to 11 years has been demonstrated.17 However, as it takes 15–20 years18 to develop cervical cancer in most women, more time and research are needed before definitive effectiveness claims can be made.
  7. Since for most people the chance of dying from an HPV-related cancer is about 1 in 900,000, and safety studies of HPV vaccines include only about 25,000 subjects,19 there is not enough statistical power to conclude that the HPV vaccine is safer than the risk of HPV-related cancers.

We urge you to oppose AB 659 as the HPV vaccine has not been proven safer than HPV infection and schoolchildren are not at risk of developing HPV-related cancers.

Respectfully,

 

Shira Miller, M.D.
Founder and President

Physicians for Informed Consent Challenges the Basis for COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates

According to Physicians for Informed Consent, new data raise serious concerns over the risks of hospitalization in people vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., November 11, 2022 (Newswire.com) – Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has released an update to its educational document “COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 21 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions.” Developed from data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Library of Medicine, and other established sources, the PIC document covers issues of critical importance to both the medical community and the public. Reflecting key scientific research, the document refutes the basis for COVID-19 vaccine mandates. For example, according to Physicians for Informed Consent, studies (referenced here) show:

  • COVID-19 vaccines may increase the risk of hospitalizations in vaccinated people.
    A study published in Vaccine found that the number of serious adverse events in people vaccinated with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is higher than the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations prevented. For every two COVID-19 hospitalizations prevented in vaccinated people, there are 10 COVID-19 vaccine serious adverse events.
  • COVID-19 vaccines increase the risk of myocarditis in young men.
    A study published in Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety shows that in males aged 18 to 24 years, the risk of myocarditis is 1 in 1,862 after the second dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine.
  • COVID-19 vaccines increase the risk of cardiac-related deaths in men.
    A study by the Florida Department of Health found there is a 97% increased risk of cardiac-related deaths in males aged 18–39 within 28 days of being vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine.
  • COVID-19 vaccines increase the length of menstrual cycles in women.
    A study published in BMJ found that in women, vaccination with two doses within the same menstrual cycle leads to a 3.7-day increase in that cycle’s length. The consequences of this phenomenon are not known.

It can take months or even years for new data to reach the general medical community. As such, some healthcare providers may be unaware of COVID-19 vaccine facts and figures. In providing this document, PIC highlights important statistics to help medical professionals and their patients more easily assess the risks of the vaccine compared to the risks of COVID-19. In addition, as a nonprofit organization with headquarters in California — where AB 2098, a doctor-censorship bill, was recently signed into law — PIC asserts that it is now more important than ever for the general public to be able to access science-based COVID-19 analyses.

“AB 2098 is immoral and anti-science,” said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. “PIC as an organization will continue speaking out and educating the public about COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccines, and the need to have doctors whose professional opinion hasn’t been censored — because without free speech informed consent is not possible.”

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes That Minors Obtain Vaccination Without Parental Knowledge or Consent

PIC Doctors Send Letter Opposing SB 866 to California Legislators

PIC Oppose SB 866 Letter

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 1, 2022 (Newswire.com) –

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has submitted an opposition letter to California Senate Bill 866 (SB 866).

SB 866 proposes allowing children 12 years of age and older to, without parental consent or knowledge, become injected with any vaccines that meet “federal agency criteria.” Physicians for Informed Consent, representing hundreds of its physician and surgeon members, opposes the bill and asserts that SB 866 is immoral, potentially medically dangerous, and potentially illegal. PIC asserts that SB 866 would violate parental rights and thwart children’s ability to obtain compensation in the case of a vaccine injury.

Per Dr. Shira Miller, PIC founder and president, “physicians experienced in obtaining informed consent know that it is not possible for 12-year-old children as a group to understand the risks and benefits of vaccination, and California’s health education curriculum for public schools does not even mention vaccination until high school.”

SB 866 will be heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, May 5, 2022. If you or someone you know lives in California, PIC urges you to read the Physicians for Informed Consent SB 866 opposition letter and request your representatives to oppose SB 866 as soon as possible, and call in or show up to the public hearing in Sacramento on May 5, 2022.

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Private and Public Employees and Independent Contractors in California

PIC Doctors Send AB 1993 Opposition Letter to California Legislators

 

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF., March 29, 2022 (Newswire.com) – 

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has submitted an opposition letter to California Assembly Bill 1993 (AB 1993).

AB 1993 proposes a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all private and public employees and independent contractors in California. Physicians for Informed Consent, representing hundreds of its physician and surgeon members, opposes the bill and asserts that AB 1993 is both unscientific and would legalize medical bullying in the workplace. Per Dr. Shira Miller, PIC founder and president, “…the clinical trials have been the only settings in which the vaccination status of subjects/patients was closely monitored, and those trials did not detect enough COVID-19 deaths to measure a significant difference in mortality between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients despite observing tens of thousands of subjects.”

AB 1993 will be heard by the Committee on Labor & Employment members this Wednesday, March 30, 2022, at 1:30 pm. If you or someone you know lives in California, PIC urges you to read the Physicians for Informed Consent AB 1993 opposition letter, including its accompanying educational document “COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 20 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions” and request of your assembly members and representatives to oppose AB 1993 as soon as possible.

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes AB 1993


DOWNLOAD PDF

March 25, 2022

Re: AB 1993 (COVID-19 vaccine and booster requirement for all CA employees and independent contractors)
Position: Oppose

Dear California Legislators,

On behalf of hundreds of physician and surgeon members of Physicians for Informed Consent and thousands of our health-freedom members, we oppose AB 1993.

AB 19931 is both immoral and unscientific. It is immoral because it proposes to legalize medical bullying in the workplace and unscientific because the COVID-19 vaccines have not been proven safer than COVID-19 infection and natural immunity in employees of all age groups and all workplaces.

Furthermore, the clinical trials have been the only settings in which the vaccination status of subjects/patients was closely monitored, and those trials did not detect enough COVID-19 deaths to measure a significant difference in mortality between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients despite observing tens of thousands of subjects. In addition, CDC data show that the COVID-19 mass vaccination program has had no measurable impact on COVID-19 mortality—see PIC’s attached educational document COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 20 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions.

We urge you to oppose AB 1993 as it is immoral, unscientific, unnecessary, and divisive.

Respectfully,

Shira Miller, M.D.
Founder and President
