Last week the BU family engaged in a spirited discussion on the blog post titled Beware Of Cervical Cancer Vaccine Gardasil! The discussion tossed up an interesting issue that the preponderance of vaccines being administered to our children maybe the cause of many maladies which appear to be infesting our communities. One example which ROK a BU family member opined was to reference that the high levels of mercury in vaccines maybe directly responsible for an alarming rise in Asthma, Autism and other sicknesses.
Although Barbados has enjoyed an acceptably high level of healthcare over the years, there has been growing concern in some quarters in recent times about our healthcare system. Should we have to say that the concern transcends political lines? Barbadians have been more than alarm at visible levels of mismanagement within our healthcare system at the QEH, polyclinics, medical associations and even the drug sector…
We want to thank Roosevelt O. King (ROK) for consenting to do the grunt work on the suggestion by the BU letter, family to lobby stakeholder health organizations on this matter. The objective is to encourage them via a to use their offices to agitate for quantitative and qualitative work to be done to ascertain the effect vaccinations being delivered to our children today are having on their health now and later on in life.
The importance of the output of this study is two fold:
- The health of our young people is linked to the health of our nation which has significant implication for national productivity.
- The financial costs to our small economy to support our current healthcare system is already high. To experience an increase in the level of ailments would place our treasury under enormous pressure.
BU family members are asked to review the letter which was drafted by Roosevelt King, who is affiliated to the Non-Govermental Organization BANGO. All suggestions will be considered to ensure that the concerns of BU family members are fairly reflected in the document. If some family members feel uncomfortable submitting their views in the comments section you have the choice of anonymously doing so via the Feedback Page or Email.
