Protecting the health of future generations, in such a toxic world, is more important than ever before. On “Pediatric Perspectives” this week, join Larry Palevsky, M.D. and Paul Thomas, M.D. (retired) as they take parents on a journey through the life of a child — providing tips and common sense practices along the way.

    With the Wind with Dr. Paul – Show 184: Pediatric Perspectives: What is the 1986 Act with Theresa Wrangham

    shows-by-with-the-wind-ndash-science-revealed-with-paul-thomas-md

    Exploring the history, impact, and ongoing importance of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.

    1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act explained, NVIC vaccine law resources, vaccine injury compensation program discussion, informed consent in vaccination policy, Dr. Paul Theresa Wrangham interview
    On this week’s episode of With the Wind: Science Revealed, Dr. Paul sits down with Theresa Wrangham, Executive Director of the National Vaccine Information Center, to discuss the far-reaching implications of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. This pivotal law changed the landscape of vaccine policy, compensation, and parental rights — and its influence is still felt today.
    ​Theresa Wrangham’s Background
    Theresa brings decades of expertise to this conversation. As the Executive Director of the NVIC, she has been at the forefront of public engagement on vaccine policy, exemption laws, and informed consent. She has worked with the CDC, presented to federal advisory committees, and co-founded the Autism Society for Boulder County. Her leadership has helped shape national discussions on vaccine safety and individual choice.
    Understanding the 1986 Act
    The 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was created to address growing concerns about vaccine injuries and the lawsuits that followed. While it removed certain avenues of legal recourse, Theresa emphasizes that it was the 2011 Supreme Court decision in Bruesewitz v. Wyeth that effectively granted vaccine manufacturers a full liability shield.

    What Is the 1986 Act?

    ​Back in 1986, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) was established as a method for compensating those who have been adversely affected by routine immunizations. It was assumed that this program would be a safeguard against lack of access while reducing lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers. And it was working, according to Theresa Wrangham, until its control was handed over to the Health and Human Services (HHS) department. Public health has suffered tremendously, and informed consent has been thrown out the window, ever since the enactment of these liability protections. Theresa explains, today, on “Pediatric Perspectives.”
