Norwegian Health Min Apologies for Vaccine Scandal

Press Release

Norwegian Health Minister Apologies for Vaccine Scandal

Ron Law, Risk & Policy Analyst
Barbara Sumner Burstyn, Researcher & Documentary Director/Producer

MeNZBscandal: Twelve months ago the Ministry of Health welcomed a planned independent Norwegian review of claims of misconduct surrounding their meningococcal B vaccine which the MOH hoped would provide a greater degree of reassurance to the public in Norway and in New Zealand. http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/pagesmh/5406?Open

"We understand that there is likely to be considerable public concern about any information about adverse reactions claimed to be linked to the Norwegian Meningococcal B vaccine, the basis of New Zealand's MeNZB™ vaccine," Dr O'Hallahan said.

Dr O'Hallahan's comments followed the TVNZ screening of a Norwegian made documentary that raised serious concerns about the safety of New Zealand's MeNZB vaccine and Norway's 'parent' vaccine.

Dr O'Hallahan went on to say, "However some of the claims that are currently being circulated about New Zealand's Meningococcal B Immunisation Programme are misleading and are likely to cause parents unwarranted alarm. This independent review in Norway is an opportunity to investigate some of these claims and provide the basis for greater reassurance to the public."

The first report of that independent inquiry has now been released in Norway and is so critical and damning of the development of the meningococcal B vaccines that the Norwegian Minister of Health and Director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health have both gone on public television to apologise for the damage the lies uncovered, and the damage the vaccine has caused in Norway.

Rather than silence those the NZ minister and ministry dubbed the 'anti-vax' lobby, the report has echoed point for point the issues raised by New Zealand researchers Ron Law and Barbara Sumner Burstyn in their Meningococcal Gold Rush series over the past three years.

These issues in New Zealand include serious conflicts of interest, ministry officials lying to the Minister, substandard trials, the use of fear and coercion of children and parents and the creation in the minds of the public of an 'monster' epidemic that was past its peak before the roll out of the vaccine.

In addition it has recently emerged that the Ministry has undertaken studies that show that babies are at INCREASED risk of contracting meningococcal disease following three doses of the MeNZB vaccine. Their response was to increase the number of doses to four in the hope that a miracle might occur. They continue to inject the toxin into as many babies as they can.

As evidence of a public apology by the Norwegian Minister of Health emerges following an independent inquiry revealing major cover-ups, and deceit relating to data used to justify the New Zealand MeNZB vaccine, we look forward to a similar inquiry and apology from New Zealand's Minister of Health.

Links to Ron Law and Barbara Sumner Burstyn's meningococcal Gold Rush, three of four parts of the Norwegian documentary aired in TVNZ's Sunday programme and many press releases posted on www.scoop.co.nz are listed below. Please read and decide for yourselves.

Then, if you feel strongly, please request the Minister of Health to revoke the MeNZB license forthwith and stop this MeNZBscandal so that our precious babies are not subjected to this ongoing experiment.
