Vaccination NewsLetter: Top Stories - May 5-11, 2003Vaccination NewsLetter: Top Stories - May 5-11, 2003 FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS NOT FREE Vaccination News, A Non-Profit Corporation All the News (includes Breaking News) - a running tab of everything posted on this website since October 29, 2003 Return to Vaccination News Home Page (for best results, right click to "open in new window") View past & current Scandals (columns by Sandy Gottstein aka Mintz) Subscribe to Scandals Search This Site using keywords click here to download Adobe Reader Vaccination NewsLetter: Top Stories - May 5-11, 2003 Smallpox/smallpox vaccine New Fears About Smallpox Vaccine CDC cautious after two deaths among smallpox vaccine recipients - Health officials could not definitively link the death of a Maryland woman to receipt of the vaccinia vaccine. - "Cardiac sequelae not foreseen"? See "Whose job is it, anyway?" for another perspective on this claim. Dangerous Memory Lapse for Smallpox Vaccinees Smallpox vaccine: Easing fears on inoculations - A bill offers needed protections for physicians and other health care "first responders" who receive the vaccine. - "In the past, out of every million people vaccinated for the first time, about 1,000 experienced serious reactions, and between 14 and 52 people experienced potentially life-threatening reactions. The CDC estimates that one or two people out of every million who receive the vaccine might die from it." Already the number of deaths and adverse reactions associated with the vaccine appear to be greater than this. Is it because they are coincidental? Is it because the prior numbers were an under-representation of actual adverse smallpox vaccine events? Is it because for some reason more people are having reactions now than used to? Something else? Some combination?

Autism/MMR Autism and vaccines Autism, vaccine link considered - important article AIDS/AIDS vaccine The AIDS Debate - The Most Controversial Story You've Never Heard Alzheimer's disease/vaccine Anthrax/anthrax vaccine/Gulf War Syndrome Gulf War Syndrome case: Jabs link Gulf War Syndrome and immunisation link Ruling prompts calls for Gulf war syndrome inquiry - "It is his absence from the theatre of war, the inoculations he received and his subsequent slide into ill-health that experts claim provides crucial evidence linking the latter two." Cancer/cancer vaccines Chickenpox/chickenpox vaccine Diphtheria/diphtheria vaccine Flu/flu vaccine Haemophilus Influenza Vaccine E-News: Hib Vaccine Failure (NVIC) Hepatitis A/hepatitis A vaccine Declines in hepatitis A seen after routine vaccination initiated - Direct causal relationship has not yet been determined, but rates are sign that vaccination is successful. - This vaccine is a good example of one where the seriousness of the disease is not particularly considered, while its incidence is. Given that Hepatitis A can be prevented by good hygiene, the fact that it is usually mild or even asymptomatic in childhood, and rarely of long-term consequence when it occurs at any age, and that experience with it confers lifelong immunity, a fair-minded person might wonder whether or not this vaccine is worth taking any risks for. Hepatitis B/hepatitis B vaccine Hepatitis C Meningitis/meningitis vaccine New meningitis vaccine in works MMR/measles,mumps,rubella Doctors' children avoid MMR - hmmm Case of mumps reported at the high school Measles and mumps cases soar as parents shun triple vaccine Pet vaccines Is Your Pet Dying From Over-Vaccination Due to Vet Economics?

"Edible Vaccine Might Help Curb Dysentery" - How many times are the "experts" going to predict that "Because the disease causes life-long immunity, it is thought that the antigen in the vaccine could cause prolonged immunity", prior to any long-term studies, and in spite of repeated evidence to the contrary? (Vaccine) additives & contaminants Vaccine testing Adverse reactions/VAERS/VICP Dad Convicted Of Baby's Death Blames Vaccines - Yurko Gains Attention Online Do Vaccines Cause Chronic Diseases Like Arthritis? - Offit is kidding, right? "These differences are reflected in the many well-controlled epidemiological studies that do not show a causal relationship between vaccines and autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes and chronic arthritis." The "many well-controlled epidemiological studies"? How many studies do you think there have been that are long-term, placebo-controlled (comparing vaccinated to never vaccinated), randomized, double-blind? I feel safe in saying there have been NONE. So much for the "many well-controlled epidemiological studies".
