Dr Sin Hang Lee joins forces with S.A.N.E VAX Inc in a bid to make HPV vaccination safer

August 11th 2010, saw the launch of S.A.N.E. VAX Inc. which stands for Safe, Affordable, Necessary & Effective Vaccines. The professionals and parents behind S.A.N.E. VAX feel it is time to make the world a safer place, claiming that the drug companies and governments are misinforming the public about vaccine safety and vaccination policies in order to market more vaccines quicker. The organization, S.A.N.E. VAX states that before anyone can make an informed choice about vaccination they need to know the full facts. This is of course something the drug companies and the governments prefer to have hidden from us all. One of the most exciting moves that S.A.N.E VAX is embarking on, is offering affordable HPV testing, says one of the professionals behind the organization Leslie Carol Botha, this is because recent evidence has shown that HPV injections can increase the risk of developing pre-cancer lesions, by as much as 44.6%, if there has been a prior infection by vaccine-relevant HPV strains.

Taken from the http://www.sanevax.org/ Sane Vax website, their mission statement states:-

"The S.A.N.E VAX Mission is to promote Safe, Affordable, Necessary & Effective vaccines and vaccination practices through education and information. We believe in science-based medicine. Our primary goal is to provide the information necessary for you to make informed decisions regarding your health and well-being. We also provide referrals to helpful resources for those unfortunate enough to have experienced vaccine-related injuries.

Adverse events experienced after HPV vaccines have brought the issue of vaccine safety to the forefront around the world. S.A.N.E. VAX, Inc. is a place to find the answers to questions you may have regarding vaccine safety and efficacy."

S.A.N.E. VAX, Inc. is a non-profit organization established to provide a single site for information to help you:

1. Obtain the information you need to make informed decisions prior to vaccination;

2. Locate appropriate medical/legal assistance if you, or a loved one, suffers from a serious adverse events after vaccination.

The S.A.N.E. VAX, Inc. website provides the latest news on vaccines, including those currently being developed and tested, with links to scientific studies on their potential safety, efficacy and need. Our intent is to cover the vaccine issue on a global scale.

S.A.N.E. VAX, Inc. provides links to vaccine-injury physicians and medical practitioners, vaccine-injury attorneys, and other vaccine-related groups. We will provide instructions on how to become politically active, should you wish to do so, along with links to political vaccine action groups representing thousands of victims.

S.A.N.E. VAX, Inc. has a physicians' forum, where doctors representing various medical disciplines, and successfully treating vaccine injuries, can collaborate with each other.

S.A.N.E. VAX, Inc. offers a blog and several forum discussions where you can communicate with others who have similar concerns. Have a specific question? Post it on the S.A.N.E. VAX, Inc. forum and our team will respond. If we do not have the answer, we will find the professional who does."

Vaccine researcher and journalist, Norma Erickson who writes for Examiner.com spearheaded the organization putting together a team of professionals and concerned health advocates from around the world including Leslie Carol Botha who is a Women's Health Educator, a member of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research, author, publisher, television, and radio talk show host; Rosemary Mathis, corporate professional, mother of a vaccine-injured child and advocate for the vaccine-injured; Freda Birrell, political activist and international health advocate from Scotland; and Janny Stokvis, vaccine researcher from the Netherlands.

On a recent nationwide radio broadcast, Leslie Carol Botha formally announced the pre- and post-vaccination HPV testing services that will be offered by S.A.N.E. VAX, Inc. in cooperation with Dr. Sin Hang Lee, another professional who is fully behind the work of S.A.N.E. VAX, Inc.

Sin Hang Lee M.D., F.R.C.P. (C), FCAP has over 50 years' experience in general/surgical pathology and clinical microbiology. He is qualified to practice in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. Currently he is working as a pathologist at the Milford hospital in Milford CT. Dr Lee is particularly concerned about the issues surrounding the HPV vaccines. He feels that Cervical Cancer is not the mainstream issue that it has been made out to be. He is very concerned as we all are, that the duration of the HPV vaccines have not yet been established, agreeing with the issues raised time and time again by Dr Diane Harper. He says that since Gardasil injections can increase the risk of developing precancerous lesions by 44.6% if there is a prior infection by a vaccine-relevant HPV genotype, and that it is prudent to make sure that a sexually active woman is not infected by HPV 16, 18, 31 or 45 before receiving a Gardasil vaccination. This is why along with SANE VAX he will be offering the chance of safe HPV testing before vaccination.

Dr. Lee is said to be ecstatic that HPV testing will be at last on offer and is working alongside the SANE VAX organisation, in offering discounted rates to those women interested.

Recently Belgium moved the age for the administration of the HPV vaccine, from 12 years to 9 years, meaning that if any of these young children already have the HPV virus, which can be passed through general contact such as infected towels, contact sport and even through birth, there is a risk that they could develop a cancerous lesion as a result and this is of great concern.

I asked a representative from Belgium, Martin (surname withheld), for his comments on the fact that the age group had been dropped in his country. He replied :-

"My comment is to quote from "HPV Vaccination for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer in Belgium: Health Technology Assessment " produced by The Belgian Health Care Knowledge Centre (KCE) , an organization under the supervision of the Minister of Public Health and Social Affairs. [http://www.kce.fgov.be/index_en.aspx?SGREF=5212&CREF=9996]

"When contemplating massive vaccination of healthy young girls the ethical principal of 'do not harm' should be carefully considered. Given the uncertainties associated with HPV vaccination, the overly optimistic picture conveyed through the media should be counterbalanced with independent, correct and complete information to allow for informed choice by decision makers and individuals"

So my question is, where is the information coming from that allows for this 'informed choice' (by 'decision makers') to vaccinate 9 year old girls with Gardasil?"

He has a point. The information the decision makers receive is after all coming directly from the manufacturers, who as well are aware, have massive conflicts of interest and have found to be less than honest on several occasions. Merck for example are being investigated as I write for just that reason. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/10/business/global/10merck.html Merck Is Subject of U.S. Bribery Inquiries – NYTimes.com

Leslie Botha says that she excited by what she sees as a positive move towards vaccine safety for all.
