1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Vaccine Safety Study Act . 2. Findings The Congress finds as follows: (1) Securing the health of the Nation’s children is our most important concern as parents and stewards of the Nation’s future. (2) The Nation’s vaccine program has greatly reduced human suffering from infectious disease by preventing and reducing the outbreak of vaccine-preventable diseases. (3) Total health outcomes are the best measure of the success of any public health effort, including security from both chronic and infectious disease. (4) Childhood immunizations are an important tool in protecting children from infectious disease. (5) The number of immunizations administered to infants, pregnant women, children, teenagers, and adults has grown dramatically over recent years. (6) The incidence of chronic, unexplained diseases such as autism, learning disabilities, and other neurological disorders appears to have increased dramatically in recent years. (7) Individual vaccines are tested for safety, but little safety testing has been conducted for interaction effects of multiple vaccines. (8) The strategy of aggressive, early childhood immunization against a large number of infectious diseases has never been tested in its entirety against alternative strategies, either for safety or for total health outcomes. (9) Childhood immunizations are the only health interventions that are required by States of all citizens in order to participate in civic society. (10) Public confidence in the management of public health can only be maintained if these State government-mandated, mass vaccination programs— (A) are tested rigorously and in their entirety against all reasonable safety concerns
