Gates Foundation Invests $10 Million in Vaccines Developer
By Meg Tirrell -

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation invested $10 million in Liquidia Technologies, a closely held biotechnology company developing vaccines, as part of a $400 million initiative to fund activities to help poorer countries.

Liquidia is developing a seasonal flu vaccine and has an agreement with the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative to use its technology to work on new malaria vaccines, the Research Triangle Park, North Carolina-based company said today in an e- mailed statement. The $400 million program provides low-interest loans, loan guarantees and equity investments to help finance organizations that meet the group’s focus areas.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) Chairman and co-founder Bill Gates, in his 2010 annual foundation letter, highlighted the need for a malaria vaccine to eradicate the disease, calling it “the highest-risk malaria work we fund.” The foundation has supplied $13.8 billion in global health funding since 1994, according to its website.

“Funding innovation is a key to addressing the unmet health needs of the world’s poorest people,” Doug Holtzman, deputy director for the foundation’s infectious diseases team, said in the statement. “This unique investment partnership will help us advance vaccine development as part of our commitment to help research, develop and deliver vaccines for the world’s poorest countries.”

Liquidia investors also include Canaan Partners, New Enterprise Associates, PPD Inc., Morningside Venture Investments Limited, Pappas Ventures and Firelake Capital, according to the statement.

Parents: You Can Say No to Vaccinations, Right? Maybe Not for Much Longer...

If you are a resident of Washington state, you should know that there is a bill quietly sailing through your state legislature that violates your privacy and threatens your right to make informed, voluntary decisions about vaccination. House Bill 1015 1 and Senate Bill 5005 also discriminates against parents by failing to give them equal protection under the federal National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (PL 99-660). 2

New Law Threatens Informed Consent Rights and Violates First Amendment

The proposed new law will legally require doctors and nurses to personally sign off on all religious or personal belief exemptions to vaccination filed with the state. Parents seeking non-medical exemptions will be required to include a signature from a vaccine provider on the exemption form stating that they have been given vaccine benefit and risk information. 3 Currently Washington state mandatory vaccination laws 4 only require signatures from medical personnel when medical exemptions are filed.



If this bill becomes law, it will put doctors, nurses and other medical personnel in the legal position of acting as inquisitors of religious beliefs held by fellow citizens, which is an invasion of privacy and a de facto violation of First Amendment rights. 5 Americans associated with the medical profession will have the power to sit in judgment of, or interfere with, the free exercise of religious, spiritual or conscientious beliefs of other Americans. It will also make it easier for doctors to punish parents making selective vaccine choices by denying their children medical care, which is the official policy of many U.S. pediatricians. 6

The ethical principle of informed consent 7 to medical risk taking means that you, as an individual or the legal guardian of an individual, have the human right to be fully informed about the benefits and risks of a medical intervention and make a voluntary decision without being harassed or coerced by anyone. 8 The informed consent principle protects individuals in every society from exploitation by those in positions of power in medicine, government and industry. 9, 10, 11

The proposed Washington state bill makes it easier for doctors and other medical personnel to violate an individual's informed consent rights and discriminate against those filing vaccine exemptions, who may hold different beliefs and values. 12, 13, 14, 15 Informed consent is especially important when it comes to vaccination because doctors and nurses cannot predict ahead of time who will be injured by vaccines. More than $2 billion dollars has been awarded by the U.S. Court of Claims 16 to compensate vaccine victims, mostly children, whose doctors did not know they would suffer brain inflammation, immune dysregulation and become permanently disabled or even die after vaccination. 17, 18, 19

Bill Also Ignores Federal Law Requirements

Co-sponsors of the new Washington state vaccine law do not acknowledge in the bill that there is already a federal law in place since 1986, 20, 21 which legally requires doctors, nurses and all vaccine providers to:



1. Give parents vaccine benefit and risk information before vaccination takes place; Record serious health problems, including hospitalizations, injuries and deaths, after vaccination in the child's permanent medical records;
2. Report serious health problems after vaccination 22 to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) 23
3. Keep a permanent record of all vaccines given, including the manufacturer's name and lot number.

Unfortunately, today most vaccine providers do not obey these important federal law requirements. So if the goal of the new law is to educate parents about vaccination, it should simply state that all vaccine providers are legally required to give every parent Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) produced by the Centers for Disease Control, 24 which also contain information about reporting vaccine reactions and the federal vaccine injury compensation program

I don't belong to a church but I still filed the religious exemption to get my kids into schools. I hope this bill in Washington doesn't pass, but even if it does, just take your own form in, tell the doctor you have a religious exemption and let them give you their stupid vaccine propaganda then pitch it when you walk out the door. I recommend taking your baby to a family doctor (holistic if you can find one). They put way less pressure on parents to vax. We stopped seeing pediatricians long ago, as soon as I started getting a lot of pressure to vax.

It really is so crazy if you think about it, that kids are refused admittance to school if they don't have poisons injected into them first. :(

It's not crazy if you know that parents surrender all rights to their kid when the kid steps on public school property.

Yet another reason you want to be in the postion to home school or have a private tutor.

That is what the rich elite do or have their kids go to schools where that non sense is not policy

Yes, I'm homeschooling my older boy now and soon will be homeschooling both of them but it's not over the vaccine issue because I was able to use the exemption form. Overall we like homeschooling, but I really would prefer to have more options. Private schools aren't necessarily better and there are so many things I hate about institutional schooling, but I'm struggling a little to find enough social outlets for them. My son plays sports but he needs more friends that he can get together with regularly. I worry that I may be isolating them too much so I need to find a balance. My son has no desire to ever go back to school though. He really hated it.
