Dr. Horowitz Immediately Submitted the Following Letter that Was Never Published by the HTH After State Senator Kokubun Abandoned His People and the Vitally Important SB 2808
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
TB Screening Scam
By Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz
Sen. Russell Kokubun announced Friday he wouldn’t vote for
his own bill SB 2808, determined by his staff to be vitally, if
not urgently, needed to secure the public’s health and our
children’s safety. (TH, “TB bill is out;” 2/25/06.)
He said he wrote the bill as a “courtesy” to me? One
might think a letter of thanks for my “input” would
suffice. Assigning attorneys, senate staff, and medical consultants,
at taxpayer expense, to conduct a thorough medical/legal review,
and subsequently advancing SB 2808 to save lives and secure religious
freedoms, I thought was Sen. Kokubun’s civil duty, not his
personal political charade.
I naively believed the Senator might be more loyal to his Creator
and constituents than to political powers running our TB Control
Program amok. In this case our children wishing to enter school
are forced into TB skin testing violating international standards
of public health policy, the CDC’s official recommendations,
and the manufacturer’s written warnings. If children were
assaulted, in broad daylight, civilized persons would object. Yet,
here we are, our senators view violators of state and federal laws,
and help them assault and intoxicate our youth.
The enlightening well-written article by Alan Schnepf was highly
complementary to me. I am, after all, internationally famed for
my contributions to public health and consumer advocacy. Arriving
on this island nearly five years ago, my first social service was
to inform state commissioners and police chiefs why our officers
should avoid risky smallpox vaccines. They heeded my counsel, stayed
safe, and remained healthy. I was wrong to think Hawaiian senators
might, likewise, value the scientific facts and people’s lives
more than the politics of drug-industry profits.
Senator Kokubun said public health officials’ “input”
caused him to cave on SB 2808. For the record, as part of his early
investigation, he requested my assistance to academically respond
to a special interest document, littered with lies, prepared in
defense of public health officials who have been operating above-the-law
in obvious violation of medical/legal standards. So Senator Kokubun
knew public health officials would be adamantly opposed to exposing
their medical malfeasance and relinquishing their overstepped authority.
The bill was none-the-less excellently researched, drafted, and
widely supported by voters who learned TB officials in Hawaii were
poisoning our children with chemical toxins, valueless carcinogenic
chest x-rays, and dangerous long term antibiotics, after experimentally
sensitizing their immune systems with allergenic pieces of tuberculosis.
The need for SB 2808, and its abandonment by Senator Kokubun, is
appalling.
I thank those who wrote SB 2808, our volunteer campaigners, and
Rep. Helene Hale who voiced support for the measure. I pray other
elected officials will act more wisely in advancing similar legislation
to protect the health of our children, secure religious freedoms,
and demand honesty and integrity in politics and the Department
of Public Health regarding risky practices like TB skin testing
and mercury-laden neurologically-impairing vaccinations.
Until Hawaiian legislators stand as heroes, and informed citizens
demand respect for their rights, Hawaii’s hoodwinked parents
and innocent children will continue to be injured.
Very sincerely,
Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz,
Award-winning author of 15 books including the national bestseller, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or
Intentional?
