In response to my complaint to the
Attorney General the First Assistant Attorney General in charge
of consumer fraud, Esther Chavez replied that it is unlawful
for a Veterinarian to obtain a fee for misrepresenting the benefit
or necessity of a vaccine. She said she will accept complaints
against Veterinarians and drug companies.
None have been filed.
In response to my complaint to the
Texas Veterinary Board, and only after I threatened to sue them,
the Board wrote a letter to every Veterinarian in the State
"suggesting" they update their vaccine recommendations.
See the open letter in the library on my web site(www.critterfixer.com).
The
letter was ignored. Only one of the six DVMs on the board updated
their recommendations. One person who filed a complaint against
their DVM for giving unnecessary vaccines was told by the Board
'If you don't like your Vet's recommendations find another Vet."
I took my complaint to the Sunset
Committee, 12 Senators who oversee the State board. Senator
Whitmire of Houston came down on the Board hard, ordering them
to put a stop to unnecessary vaccines. Senator Jackson, Clear
Lake agreed and backed him up. I got a letter from the Board
stating they were going to ignore Senator Whitmire. But just
to CYA they sent out another letter to every Vet in the State
suggesting
they stop giving unnecessary vaccines. I may sue the Board yet.
Senator Shapleigh of El Paso was
the most helpful of all the Senators. He has put me in contact
with the Chicago law firm who will be filing a class action
suit. "
