PRESS CONFERENCE

Between 1999 and 2004, the EFVV conducted a uniform enquiry in several European countries about vaccine adverse effects, and it presented the results of this enquiry and subsequent proposals to the European Parliament and to the European Press on November 21, 2005, in Brussels.

In 1998, during the Biocultura trade fair in Barcelona, members of the Spanish group Liga para la Libertad de Vacunaciones met with members of the French association ALIS. They were aware that the Catalan group of doctors Grup Médic de Reflexió sobre les vacunes, had already initiated an investigation into the adverse effects of vaccinations and had begun collecting data. They felt strongly that this valiant project deserved attention and expansion so they decided to join forces for this purpose.

A Franco-Spanish alliance was therefore formed. As time went by, the alliance grew to include all the European countries where the two founding associations already had established relationships with groups and people prepared to work on this same issue.

In 1999, a venue was chosen for meetings and the structure was determined for a European forum researching the vaccination issue. Since then, the group has gathered every July for an annual meeting in the town of Yenne in France. The project was initially called Strasbourg 2004, later to become the European Forum for Vaccine Vigilance (EFVV).

The EFVV delegates attending these meetings between 1999 and 2005 represented ten different countries: France, Spain, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Israel and Switzerland. Many of the participants are doctors.

The driving force of this group is a common consciousness, a search for truth, a concern for the preservation of human health and a desire to see respect for human rights. It is for this purpose that we have collected a large number of testimonies from people who have suffered undesirable effects following vaccination. To obtain these testimonies, we circulated a questionnaire in the different countries concerned. This resulted in the creation of a database whose analysis is presented in this report.
