Petition to Make Vaccine Statistics Available

from the National Vaccine Information Center

During the past two years, independent researchers have been repeatedly denied access by officials at the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to the publicly funded Vaccine Safety Datalink for the purpose of replicating and validating the CDC's analyses of the data.

The hallmark of good science is replication and the hallmark of good government is transparency. Signing the "Show Us the Vaccine Data" petition will add your voice to the tens of thousands of other citizen voices who know how important it is for government-held vaccine risk information to be open to independent analysis.

Please take a moment and add your name to this very important petition.

To read and sign the petition click go to www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/896046564
