What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to establish an independent vaccine safety commission.

What the petitioner did first

I have frequently requested a one-to-one meeting with the Health Minister (via my own MSPs) to no avail. I have also contacted the Chief Scientist’s Office in Scotland.
I have spoken with countless politicians (MPs, MSPs, MEPs) and provided them with graphs and projections based on the Scottish Government’s own statistics revealing an astonishing rise in the number of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) and Emotional and Behavioural disorder.
I have submitted petitions to the Scottish Parliament regarding the subject of vaccines and their role in the alarming growth in neurological problems in children.
I have also raised the profile of the issue by–
Holding a series of marches and demonstrations in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London, including visiting 10 Downing Street and speaking at many conferences on the issue in the UK;
Contributing to over 100 newspaper articles;
Appearing on TV and radio;
Personally funding a major research project (in the USA) into contamination in vaccines;
Publishing a peer reviewed hypothesis.

    I applaud Bill Welsh's relentless commitment to trying to get the issue of increased autism and auto-immune problems in Scotland into the public eye. we must keep raising the issue and a truly independent commission is long overdue.
  2. Joan Campbell 21 Jul 2017
    This petition is very important to make people aware of what is happening to our precious vaccine injured children. They should and will not be forgotten
  3. Louise 21 Jul 2017
    An independent safety commission is needed now more than ever, with over 20 vaccine doses scheduled by the time a baby is just 4 months old!!! AND NOT ONE SAFETY STUDY ON THE SCHEDULE!!! It is completely unacceptable.

    STOP THE MANDATES. THE INSANITY OF VACCINES FROM BIRTH TO DEATH. LIFE TIME CUSTOMERS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. FATALITIES, INJURIES, LIFE-ALTERING DNA, ANIMAL SUBSTANCES INJECTED, THIMEROSOL, FORMALDYHYDE, ON AND ON. #NOMANDATES

    Wonderful, keep asking, keep petitioning until our leaders hear us.
  6. Jennifer Allan 22 Jul 2017
    Numbers of children with autism, bowel disorders and ADHD have hugely increased in recent years. This correlates with the policy of administering multiple vaccines in one 'shot' and also adding more and more vaccines to the child schedule.
  7. Marina Clement 22 Jul 2017
    Thank you Bill Welsh for helping to get this issue addressed. Our health and freedoms are constantly under attack by those willing to sacrifice us under the guise of public health. The people that have taken time to do their own research into this issue are leading the way to protecting us from the lies and corruption that are entrenched in the establishments that are creating pharma customers from cradle to grave.
  8. Moniek 22 Jul 2017
    Please do Your research, you can't not longer denie that there are so much children with troubels after vaccinations
  9. Tracey Hadley 22 Jul 2017
    My daughter is vaccine damaged
  10. Legend Man 22 Jul 2017
    vaccine is big corruption
  11. Magda Taylor 22 Jul 2017
    A truly independent vaccine safety commission is very long overdue. Meanwhile more and more cases of long-term conditions are increasing in our child population. And yet nothing is being addressed or investigated...instead more vaccines are being introduced! This will not result in a good outcome for a healthy population at all. Please take action on this serious matter.
  12. Arjen Pasma 22 Jul 2017
    Vaccination, an assault to mankind.
  13. Vanessa Schaffeler 22 Jul 2017
    This is long overdue...chronic health issues, ASD and autism is increasing day by day. We know that vaccine components are neurotoxic (eg aluminium) and that they have an adverse effect on the brain and, from research already done, we know that aluminium from all sources is deposited in the body, including the brain. Increasing a child's vaccine schedule year on year without consideration of the safety aspects is sheer folly. Any existing safety research has been done either by the manufacturers themselves, or by government bodies with a huge vested interest, both financial and to protect the 'vaccine program'. We need independent researchers to look at this issue objectively.
  14. Jackie Fletcher 22 Jul 2017
    I support an in-depth investigation into the safety of all vaccines. Too many toxic substances.
  15. Mel Kelly 22 Jul 2017
    Rotarix not required
    - all aluminiums and pig DNA not required
    - are any vaccines safe
    - I don't think they are any more
    - especially with the Rotarix vaccine being approved that babies don't even need
    - children getting strange polio like illness only after the Scottish Government say line up our children for flu shots
    -
  16. Grace foster 22 Jul 2017
    It is NOT acceptable to be injecting babies and children with thimersol or aluminium directly into their blood streams they are NEUROTOXINS!
  17. Teresa Hobday 22 Jul 2017
    A good first move
  18. David mcgrath 22 Jul 2017
    Vaccines can do damage as well as good
  19. Jason 22 Jul 2017
    The ONLY reason NOT to establish a safety commission is if you KNOW that vaccines kill and you want to hide that fact.

    Anyone else would want to know exactly what are the dangers of these chemicals and their role in the mass ill health of the country.
  20. Laura Queen 22 Jul 2017
    All parents should be willingly given access to medical inserts of vaccines to inform them of all potential side effects and ingredients that make an individual vaccine up. This would ensure that they are given the opportunity, their rights of freedom to make an informed choice of what is best for their child instead of governments, pharmaceutical companies and medics dictating to parents that they must vaccinate their children. It is a parents right to choose wether to vaccinate or not...no one else. I fully support a truly independent commission into this swept under the carpet issue.
  21. Louise Tollin 22 Jul 2017
    Thank you Bill Welsh for supporting all Autism families and for raising the awareness in parliament.
  22. Karin Vrijdag 22 Jul 2017
    Solidary with this initiative!
  23. Andrew Younger 22 Jul 2017
    More and more people are understanding the NHS, is a pro big pharmaceutical cash cow fronted by sales people guised as medical professionals.
  24. Hanne 22 Jul 2017
    It is time for the truth to be told and recocnized. The children of the World are suffering due to vaccine injuries, and it is time to stop and make the guilty be held accountable.
  25. Jennifer Horne-Roberts 23 Jul 2017
    The Great War against unsafe vaccines continues,

  27. John Duncan 23 Jul 2017
    We need an independent commission on vaccine safety that is transparent and that does not confer under the table.
  28. anne close 23 Jul 2017
    As a retired nurse I am extremely concerned that Bill Welsh should succeed in his petition.
  29. anne close 23 Jul 2017
    As a retired nurse I am extremely concerned about this issue.
  30. Neil Spence 24 Jul 2017
    The MMR study that 'proves' this vaccine is not linked to autism is unreliable. Many parents have evidence that their child was developing perfectly normally until they received this triple vaccine and can show videos demonstrating an immense change in the personality of the child, sometimes within hours of the vaccine, often in the following few days. I work as a homeopath and treat many people for vaccine-induced damage to their health.
  31. Anna Gray 24 Jul 2017
    Measles is a benign childhood disease. Studies show proper nutrition stop virus from replicating especially vitamin A and C. Autism is permanent brain damage caused by vaccines. Look for autism in unvaccinated populations which are harder and harder to find and this no coincidence.
  32. Donald Scott 25 Jul 2017
    Irrespective of your own personal view I'd like to think everyone would agree to ensuring parental choice on vaccination takes precedent over the government of the day. Lobby groups with surplus cash can be quite persuasive?
  33. ELIZABETH BONACCORSO 26 Jul 2017
    I do believe the MMR is linked to Autism by my own personal experience with my daughter.
  34. LYDIA REID 11 Aug 2017
    My point is simple A company selling a vaccine wants to sell the vaccine
    Our children are just too precious to take their word for whether they are safe
    Too many are not and allow vaccines that may help the majority while harming quite profoundly a smaller amount of children
    We need at least to look at the results of the research and maybe even do the research before use
