Show APRIL 23, 1998 : Beaver County Monitor | PAGE2 National Immunization Week In 1994, Heather Whitestone was named Miss America--the first such title holder with a physical challenge. The country admired her for her beauty, talent, and poise as well as for her ability to assume a very public role in spite of her inability to hear. Heather’s hearing loss resulted from Haemophilus Influenzae type b (Hib) meningitis, a disease that is now preventable by vaccination. National Infant Immunization Week (April 19-25, 1998) is a good time to focus on the importance of ensuring that babies are protected against Hib and other vaccine-preventable diseases. All infants should begin a series of immunizations at birth. By age 2 years, they should have received vaccinations to protect them against 10 diseases, diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, mumps, rubella (German Measles), hepatitis B, chicken pox, and Hib meningitis. Because many people in our country have not seen a case of diphtheria, polio, or pertussis in several generations, they do not realize how much damage these diseases can cause. Some even believe these diseases are a thing of the past and that there is no reason to immunize their children. But these diseases are now infrequent because of improved immunization services and the availability of improved vaccines. Often, when children aren’t immunized, epidemics of these ‘diseases can recur. For example, a major cause of the 1996 measles epidemic in Washington County, Utah, was the failure to adequately vaccinate children. This epidemic caused 116 cases of measles, fortunately there were no serious consequences. The more children who are immunized, the less chance of an Christian/Hubbell epidemic--and the less risk for those for whom immunization may not be Jeff and Nora Christian, of San Jose, California, are pleased to advised because they are very young, have deficient immune systems or announce the marriage of their daughter, Mandy, to Mark Hubbell, lack medical care, foster son of Noal and Linda Robinson, of Beaver, and son of Mildred Some parents are concemed by stories in the media about the King-Hubbell and Ernest Hubbell of Ft.

In a recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (December 18, 1996), Gary Freed, M.D. and colleagues discussed published studies that have examined the data on adverse events. These studies include reviews by the Institute of Medicine that “rejected a causal relationship for most conditions alleged to be a result of immunization.” Causal relationships were found for some events, but the risks were extremely small. Dr. Freed concludes that “vaccines have become a widely accepted, beneficial, safe, and effective clinical preventive measure.” All parents and care givers should make the decision to immunize their children based on the facts. Parents/ care givers should review Vaccine Information Statements available from their health care providers, which discuss the benefits and risks of vaccines. And they should ask their doctors questions about immunization, including the benefits and risk pertinent to their won child. Parents/ care givers must be given valid reasons for delaying an immunization.

Yes, I am "unpopular" with Circle 4 Farms, because I HAVE "DARED" TO ASK SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS, and HAVE NOT DISAPPEARED WHEN THE ANSWERS HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN!!! I have requested the Utah Division of Environmental Quality to provide the citizens basically just one thing - a DETAILED SAMPLE ANALYSIS OF C-4 HOG WASTE FROM EVERY LAGOON to compare it with samples from cattle, sheep, humans, and non-CAFO hogs, collected and_ tested by "independent technicians". I simply believe that this analysis will show a high level of potentially pathogenic materials as compared with other livestock waste samples, and as such, should be classified differently and disposed of safely, not spread ignorantly over alfalfa fields as is commonly done in other states.
