Vaccine problems always hidden

I WISH to comment on the scandal of vaccine trials in Ireland. I have met victims of these trials – some of them have suffered ill health since they were used for vaccine trials as babies.

Scandals associated with vaccines and vaccine practices in Ireland are inevitable because of the nature of vaccine policy here.

Vaccines, like any other medicine, are sometimes effective and sometimes not; they are sometimes safe and sometimes not. Sometimes they are tested ethically and sufficiently and sometimes they are not.
