DPT VACCINES. Doctors insist they are safe, that our children should be vaccinated. So what does the Patient Information Leaflet say?

Doctors insist that DPT vaccines, including the 6-in-1 used in the UK, are "entirely safe". Many doctors throughout the world want vaccination to become compulsory, and questioning the safety of vaccines is said to be false news, misinformation, and dangerous. So is there any evidence that this vaccine is unsafe, and if so, where can parents find it?

The 6-in-1 vaccine is given to very young babies 3 times, at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks old. It is supposed to protect them from diphtheria, hepatitis B, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), polio,
tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis).

The amazing fact is that the serious harm that can be caused by vaccines, including DPT vaccines, can be found in conventional medical literature. Indeed, it can be found in the patient information leaflets that come with the vaccine itself - but which doctors rarely show to parents.

So check it out for yourself! First go to the NHS website. This page tells us about the 6-in-1 vaccine, Infanrix Hexa, and confirms that it is safe.

               "The 6-in-1 vaccine is very safe. It's killed (inactivated), which means it doesn't contain any live organisms, so there's no risk of your baby getting the diseases it protects against from the vaccination. The vaccine also has few side effects, although it's common for babies to be a little irritable afterwards. They may also have short-lived redness, swelling and a small bump at the injection site."

This is the message that conventional medical doctors usually give us, and left at this it might appear that 'anti-vaxxers' such as myself are trying to mislead you. But read on. It provides a link to this page, headed 6-in-1 side effects. This gives the 'common' reactions to the vaccine as follows:

• pain, redness and swelling at the injection site
• fever
• vomiting
• abnormal crying
• irritability
• loss of appetite

They say that these reported side effects happen in 1 in 10 babies.

Then they talk of the 'Rare' side effects' of the 6-in-1 vaccine (reported, they say, in fewer than 1 in 10,000 babies) which include:

• high fever
• fit
• seizures.

The reporting of side effects
Many studies have calculated that only 10% of drug (and vaccine) side effects are ever reported. I wrote about this in this blog. This means that 90% are not reported, so these 'rare' side effects are not 1 in 10,000 but 1 in 1,000. Some studies indicate that 10% is an under-estimate, that a more accurate figure might be 1%, that 99% of these 'rare' side effects remain unrecorded. This would mean that they happen in 1 in 100 vaccinated children.

Allergy
The NHS then report that "very rarely" a baby may have a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) after the 6 in 1 vaccine, but this happens in fewer than 1 in 100,000 cases (or is this 1 in 10,000, or 1 in 1,000 cases. And if the vaccine causes anaphylaxis, what about allergy?

But parents are reassured by the NHS who states that this "can happen with any vaccine" (is this really reassuring?), and that although anaphylaxis "is a serious medical condition", all vaccination staff are "trained to deal with anaphylactic reactions on the spot, and babies recover completely with prompt treatment".

Now, go back to the first NHS page, referred to above. There was no mention here of high fever, fits, seizures, allergy, anaphylaxis! The vaccine is described as 'very safe'. Of course, 'safety' depends on the amount of risk that we, as parents, are prepared to take with our babies health!

But we need to go on. There is a link from the first NHS page to the 'Patient Information Leaflet' (PIL) that comes with the 6-in-1 vaccine. Most parents don't get to the second page, leave alone reading this PIL. And doctors rarely show parents the PIL before vaccinating their babies!

Now remember that these PILs only give information that has been proven, beyond doubt. Anything else, anything that is denied, is not mentioned in these documents, produced by the pharmaceutical companies themselves. But the 6-in-1 PIL takes our knowledge of the dangers of the vaccines to a new level. First, there is a list of 'warnings' and 'precautions', and what follows is taken directly from the PIL.

Infanrix hexa should not be given:
     • if your child is allergic to:
               - Infanrix hexa or any of the ingredients of this vaccine (listed in section 6).
               - formaldehyde.
               - neomycin or polymyxin (antibiotics).

Signs of an allergic reaction may include itchy skin, rash, shortness of breath and swelling of the face or tongue.
     • if your child has had an allergic reaction to any vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, polio or Haemophilus influenzae type b.
     • if your child has had problems of the nervous system within 7 days after previous vaccination with a vaccine against whooping cough
     • if your child has a severe infection with a high temperature (over 38°C).

A minor infection such as a cold should not be a problem, but talk to your doctor first.

Infanrix hexa should not be given if any of the above apply to your child. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before your child is given Infanrix hexa.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before your child is given Infanrix hexa:
     • if after previously having Infanrix hexa or another vaccine against whooping cough, your child had any problems, especially:
               - a high temperature (over 40°C) within 48 hours of vaccination
               - a collapse or “shock-like” state within 48 hours of vaccination
               - persistent crying lasting 3 hours or more within 48 hours of vaccination
               - fits with or without a high temperature within 3 days of vaccination
     • if your child has an undiagnosed or progressive disease of the brain or epilepsy which is not controlled. After control of the disease the vaccine can be given.
     • if your child has a bleeding problem or bruises easily
     • if your child tends to have fits when they have a fever, or if there is a history of this in the family.
     • if your child should become unresponsive or experience seizures (fits) after the vaccination, please contact your doctor immediately. See also section 4 Possible side effects.
     • if your baby was born very prematurely (at or before 28 weeks of gestation) longer gaps than normal between breaths may occur for 2-3 days after vaccination. These babies may require respiratory monitoring for 48-72h following the administration of the first two or three doses of Infanrix hexa.

If any of the above apply to your child (or you are not sure), talk to your doctor or pharmacist before your child is given Infanrix hexa.

Other medicines and Infanrix hexa
Your doctor may ask you to give your child a medicine that lowers fever (such as paracetamol) before or immediately after Infanrix hexa is given. This can help to lower some of the side effects (febrile reactions) of Infanrix hexa.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if your child is taking, has recently taken, might take any other medicines or has recently received any other vaccine.

Infanrix hexa contains neomycin and polymyxin
This vaccine contains neomycin and polymyxin (antibiotics). Tell your doctor if your child has had an allergic reaction to these ingredients.

NOTE
* THESE ARE JUST THE PRECAUTIONARY WARNINGS!
* HOW OFTEN DO DOCTORS, OR NURSES DOING THE VACCINATION, CHECK ON ANY OF THIS BEFORE VACCINATING CHILDREN?
* BUT NOW FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS......


Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this vaccine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. The following side effects may happen with this vaccine:

Allergic reactions
If your child has an allergic reaction, see your doctor straight away. The signs may include:
     • rashes that may be itchy or blistering
     • swelling of the eyes and face
     • difficulty in breathing or swallowing
     • a sudden drop in blood pressure and loss of consciousness.

These signs usually start very soon after the injection has been given. Talk to a doctor straight away if they happen after leaving the doctor’s surgery.

See your doctor straight away if your child has any of the following serious side effects:
     • collapse
     • times when they lose consciousness or have a lack of awareness
     • fits – this may be when they have a fever

These side effects have happened very rarely with Infanrix hexa as with other vaccines against whooping cough. They usually happen within 2 to 3 days after vaccination.

Other side effects include:
Very common (these may occur with more than 1 in 10 doses of the vaccine): feeling tired, loss of appetite, high temperature of 38°C or higher, swelling, pain, redness where the injection site was given, unusual crying, feeling irritable or restless.

Common (these may occur with up to 1 in 10 doses of the vaccine): diarrhoea, being sick (vomiting), high temperature of more than 39.5°C, swelling larger than 5 cm or hard lump where the injection was given, feeling nervous.

Uncommon (these may occur with up to 1 in 100 doses of the vaccine): upper respiratory tract infection, feeling sleepy, cough, large swelling at the injected limb.

Rare (these may occur with up to 1 in 1,000 doses of the vaccine): bronchitis, rash, swollen glands in the neck, armpit or groin (lymphadenopathy), bleeding or bruising more easily than normal (thrombocytopenia), in babies born very prematurely (at or before 28 weeks of gestation) longer gaps than normal between breaths may occur for 2-3 days after vaccination, temporarily stopping breathing (apnoea), swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue or throat which may cause difficulty in swallowing or breathing (angioedema), swelling of the whole injected limb, blisters.

Very rare (these may happen with up to 1 in 10,000 doses of the vaccine): itching (dermatitis).

Experience with hepatitis B vaccine
In extremely rare cases the following side effects have been reported with hepatitis B vaccine: paralysis, numbness or weakness of the arms and legs (neuropathy), inflammation of some nerves, possibly with pins and needles or loss of feeling or normal movement (Guillain-Barré syndrome), swelling or infection of the brain (encephalopathy, encephalitis), infection around the brain (meningitis).

The causal relationship to the vaccine has not been established.

Bleeding or bruising more easily than normal (thrombocytopenia) has been reported with hepatitis B vaccines.


SO, TO QUOTE THE NHS WEBPAGE AGAIN (which is the information most doctors routinely give us), the 6-in-1 vaccines "is very safe". Do you agree? Given the information provided by the PIL, is this an accurate or honest description? Or is it deceptive? Dishonest?

Safety, perhaps, is in the eyes of the beholder! Perhaps it is an acceptable risk in the all-too-dangerous world of conventional medicine. But would most parents, who were given this information, and in a position to make an informed choice, take these risks with their young babies?

REMEMBER, THIS INFORMATION IS NOT MINE. IT COMES FROM THE UK'S NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE.

DPT and MMR Vaccines. Is this really a denial from Jeremy Hunt?

The dangers of the DPT and MMR vaccines are well known to anyone who examines the 'non-official' evidence that is coming regularly from parents whose children have been damaged by both these vaccinations, and others. Those who have not looked into this are entirely reliant on official Department of Health, NHS, and GP denials, and the mainstream media's passive and unquestioning acceptance of these denials.

Regular readers of this blog will be aware that I have recently published 3 blogs in relation to the dangers of the DPT and the MMR vaccines, routinely given to our young children.

• The DPT Vaccine. Do doctors really know it is dangerous? And if so why are they not telling us?
• The MMR Vaccine: Our GPs, the NHS, and Big Pharma know it is dangerous. 
• Open Letter to Jeremy Hunt, Health Secretary regarding the information on these vaccines

The first two provide details of the quite frightening lists of serious diseases caused by the MMR and DPT vaccines, and which are mentioned within the package inserts that comes with each vaccine.

The third blog was an 'open' letter to Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State at the Department of Health, asking him to confirm the 'side-effects', 'adverse reactions', or DIEs, contained within these package inesrts.

There has now been a response from the Department of Health to my letter. I have copied the Department of Health's  response letter below, so that if anyone wants to plough through it can do so. However, for those people who don't want to do so this is my précis of what they seem to be saying.

• The package inserts relate to vaccines used in USA, and not in the UK and Europe. There is no explanation about just how different these vaccines are, but the insinuation appears to be is that the US vaccines are not safe (although they do not comment on this) but that 'our' vaccines are safe!

• And, as the US vaccines are no longer used here, this is not a problem for us.

• In the USA, such adverse reactions 'may be listed without regard to causality' so that 'it is possible that some events listed in the US product inserts were just a coincidence', that is, the vaccination and the adverse reaction may have come together, but this was just coincidental! The two events are quite separate. The child may have been healthy prior to the vaccination, and damaged (or even dead) after the vaccination, but without proof of causality we must not assume that the vaccine caused the damage!

• In Britain, we are told, 'current practice is that events should not be listed as a possible side-effect ... unless there is reasonable suspicion or evidence of a possible causal association'. In other words 'spontaeous reporting' (which I assume means a parent reporting that their child has been damaged, and there is a connection) is not good enough. This kind of evidence is considered to be 'anecdotal', and not 'scientific'. Parents making such claims are not to be believed, per se. If there is suspicion that there is a connection between a vaccine and child damage, there is no need for action until such time that a causal link has been found.

• Only when such a 'causal relationship' is found will the MHRA investigate into the situation. Of course, it is well to realise that the Department of Health, and the MHRA, has no money to research these 'causal links' independently, so usually it is the manufacturer who is asked to fund the research, and be good enough to let us all know.

• The main part of the letter gets complicated, with talk of 'SPCs' (Summary of Product Characteristics) and 'PILs' (Patient Information Leaflets), and what is, and (more accurately) what is not put in them. What seems clear from this description is that drugs and vaccines are put on to the market, they are given to us, and there are a variety of hurdles to negotiate before any  'adverse reaction' reports are even considered, leave along added to SPCs and PILs.

• Then comes the statistics about some of the diseases I highlighted in my letter. And, as you can see, there is just nothing to worry about!

• Finally comes the 'all drugs and vaccines have side-effects' argument, and the ultimate 'no gain without pain' argument, which for homeopaths, of course, is alway met with much laughter!

There is no no re-assurance about the safety of the DPY and MMR vaccines to be gleaned within this letter from the Department of Health. Just an overwhelming apathy. What the letter does emphasise is the length to which the Conventional Medical Establishment will go to protect conventional drugs and vaccines, and to undermine any suggestion that any pharmaceutical drug or vaccine could possible be dangerous.



Here is the DoH letter...
"The two documents you refer to are the product inserts in Infanrix vaccine and MMRII vaccine in the United States. Whilst the Department is unable to comment on the US manufacturers' rationale for including these events you describe in these inserts, it should be noted that both documents state that such events may be listed without regard to causality. It is therefore possible that some events listed in the US product inserts were coincidental with vaccination.

In the UK and Europe, possible side effects of medicines and vaccines are listed in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) for healthcare professionals and the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) for patients. These will differ in some ways to the US product inserts. Although Infanrix and MMRII are no longer marketed in the UK, the UK SPC and PIL for the similar products, Infanrix IPV and MMRVaxPro, can be viewed on the electronic medicines compendium website at http://www.medicine.org.uk/emc/.

Although in the past some adverse events were included in many EU SPC and PILs on the basis of spontaneous reporting and without established causality, current practice is that events should not be listed as a possible side effect in the SPC or PIL unless there is reasonable suspicion or evidence of a possible causal association. When a new signal of a possible side effect emerges, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which has responsibility for safety of medicines and vaccines in the UK, together with other European regulators, takes steps to review all available evidence to assess a causal association and to quantify the risk. Regulatory action may then be taken to ensure prescribers and patients are aware of the possible risks via the product information and other relevant communication.

The UK product information for Infanrix IPV (and other DPT vaccines_ does not list Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) as a possible side effect. There is reference to DIDS within the SPC but only to state that a family history of SIDS should not preclude vaccination. The association between infant immunisation and SIDS has been extensively studied through epidemiological research. These studies have found no evidence of a causal association and are published in the medical literature.

Similarly, Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is not listed as a possible side effect in the Infanrix IPV and there is no robust evidence to support this association. Researchers in the US have recently published a study which found no evidence of an increased risk of GBS following vaccinations of any kind (including DPT and MMR vaccines). Although GBS is listed as a possible side effect in the MMRVaxPro SPC, this is an historical inclusion in MMR vaccines SPCs based on temporally-associated case reporting, and there is no robust evidence of a causal association.

Encephalitis, if causally associated with MMR vaccine, has been reported at a frequency below one per 10  million doses. Any risk of encephalitis following administration of the vaccine is far below the risk of encephalitis cause by natural diseases (measles: 1 in 1000 to 2000 cases; mumps: 2-4 in 1000 cases; rubella: approximately 1 in 6000 cases). The balance of risks and benefits of MMR vaccine are clearly favourable.

Of course, as with any medicine, vaccines can cause side effects in some people and potential risks must be balance against the expected benefits in preventing serious disease. However, serious side effects are very rare. It is important that healthcare professionals discuss potential risks and benefts with vaccines or their parents/carers, and the PIL should be made available to parents/those being vaccinated when they receive the vaccine. The PIL is a useful basis for this discussion.

Open Letter to Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Health

This blog was originally published on 13th June 2013. They have now had my letter for over two weeks.

So does the MMR and DPT vaccines cause death?

The answer is - there is no answer - yet. Indeed, there is no reply from the Department of Health. Not even an acknowledgement of my letter.

What does this silence mean?

* They don't know the answer?
* They don't care?
* They hope that by staying quiet the question will go away?


The Original Blog, the Original Letter

Dear Mr Hunt

Information has been circulating recently about the ‘adverse reaction’ caused by by both the DPT and MMR vaccines. I refer to my blogs at:

• http://safe-medicine.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/measles-and-mmr-vaccine-only-one.html
• http://safe-medicine.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/the-dpt-vaccine-do-doctors-really-know.html

The source of this information are the package inserts for both vaccines, and published on the internet by GSK and Merck at:

• http://us.gsk.com/products/assets/us_infanrix.pdf
• http://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/m/mmr_ii/mmr_ii_pi.pdf

These inserts suggest that the diseases that emanating from the DPT vaccine, given routinely to all our children, include the following:

• Guillain-Barre Syndrome
• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
• and many, many others.

Similarly, the diseases that can be caused by the MMR vaccine, also given routinely to our children, include the following:

• Encephalitis
• Guillain-Barre Syndrome
• Arthritis
• and death.

I would like to ask you the following questions regarding this information.

1. Is the information contained in these manufacturers inserts correct?
2. If the information is not correct, would you provide me with more accurate information?
3. If the information is correct, can you tell me why is the public not being informed about these adverse reactions?

I am a wholehearted supporter of your government’s policy of ‘Patient Choice’, and I agree  absolutely with the key phrase in your department’s recent White Paper  which states:

“No decision about me without me”.

However, if patients are to be involved in such decision-making, for instance, whether parents should give their children either of these vaccines, everyone requires full, transparent and honest information in order to make a proper, informed choice. 

In respect to these two vaccines, the public are being told, regularly, by the Department of Health, the NHS, or by all our local GP’s, that these vaccines are ‘entirely safe’, and parents are constantly being urged to vaccinate their children - and this is being done, as far as I can see, without access to this information.

I look forward to receiving your response, and in the interests of openness and transparency, I can give you my assurance that your response will be attached to the blog on which I have published this open letter. 

Yours sincerely

Steve Scrutton

Please note that Mr Hunt's response to this open letter has been published on this blog at

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDs), Co-Sleeping, and the DPT vaccine

Listen to BBC News today (21st May 2013) and you might be fooled into believing that SIDs, or 'Sudden Infant Death Syndrome', commonly know as Cot Death, was caused by parents who shared a bed with their babies! (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22594587). How does this cause death? Do they lie on the baby, and stop it breathing? If so, why is SIDs medicalised with the label 'syndrome'? What is a 'syndrome' anyway?

The article does question the validity of the findings, but it does not discuss any other cause of SIDs. So a more pertinent question for the BBC might be - why?

The answer is, of course, that the only known cause of SIDs, or cot death, is a vaccine - the DPT vaccine - given to babies when they are just 2-3 months old, and repeated twice in monthly intervals.

The link between SIDs and the DPT vaccine is not world shattering news. Our doctors know it, the NHS know it, the Big Pharma drug companies know it, and the BBC and the rest of the mainstream media know it too. The link is admitted on the package insert for each DPT vaccine.

But whilst the Media, and the BBC in particular, will provide you with a diet of medical nonsense about 'co-sleeping' they will never share with you the known, and accepted dangers of the DPT vaccination.

'Co-sleeping' is a diversion. It is a distraction. It is nonsense.

The conventional medical establishment knows the primary, and probably the only cause of SIDs. Sudden Death Syndrome is not a syndrome, it is not a disease; it is death caused by medicine, it is a drug-induced-death. 

If you want to keep your baby safe, it is probably much better to refuse the DPT vaccine and to share a bed with your child; although as the BBC article suggests, it is probably best not to do this either.

The DPT Vaccine. Do doctor's really know it is dangerous? And if so, why are they not telling us?

The DPT vaccination is given to young babies when they are two, three and four months old. It is supposed to protect them from Diphtheria, Pertussin (Whooping Cough) and Tetanus. In the UK it is perhaps not as well known, or as controversial, as the MMR vaccination whilst in the USA perhaps the opposite is the case.

Harris L Coulter first wrote about the DPT vaccination in his two books, "A Shot in the Dark: why the P in the DPT vaccination may be hazardous to your children's health", and "Vaccination: Social Violence and Criminality: The medical assault on the American brain" in the early 1990's. Both books paint an alarming picture of the dangers of the vaccination.

More recent evidence of the dangers of the DPT vaccine has also emerged.This includes evidence published in the British Medical Journal that the vaccine is killing baby girls. Gaia Health have discussed these finding here, stating that “baby girls are dying at a rate more than 3 times greater than would have happened without the vaccine”.

Studies have also shown that this vaccine is also linked with seizures. Reuters reported Dutch research that showed that “Babies who got a single shot that included vaccines against tetanus and whooping cough were at higher risk of having a fever-related seizure on the same day”. The research found that about 7,800 kids, or just over 2%, were diagnosed with a fever-related seizure by the time they were one and a half.

So there must now be serious doubts about the value of the DPT vaccination, both in terms of safety, and effectiveness too. Recent epidemics of Whooping Cough (Pertussis), mainly in the USA (see, for example, this link), have occurred where the vast percentage of children have been vaccinated against the disease. Moreover, studies have shown that 90% of those who have fallen to these epidemics have been the children who have been vaccinated.

The New England Journal of Medicine have confirmed “the waning protection (of the DPT vaccine) after the 5th dose” so perhaps this should not be too much of a surprise.

That the vaccine may change its form or description over the years should not suggest that the new vaccines, including the ‘6 in 1’ vaccines, are any safer or more effective than the old ones. Natural News published this article in February 2013 about one new vaccine being prepared for India.

This article was first published at this link.

What has emerged more recently is that it is now known that the drug manufacturer of Infarix (one type of DPT vaccine) admits to a very large and serious list of dangers on the package inserts. 

So, as with the MMR vaccine, it is now clear that our GP's, the NHS, and the Department of Health have been told by the Big Pharma companies what the adverse reactions, or DIEs, are for this vaccine (information taken from this web-link). 

Incredibly, the list includes encephalopathy, seizures, Guillain-Barre, inconsolable crying, hypotension, and, most worrying of all, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDs.

          "The DTaP package insert warns that the vaccine should not be given if the recipient experiences any of the following with a previous dose (the DPT vaccine is given 3 times):

• Encephalopathy such as coma, seizures, or loss of consciousness
• Progressive neurological disorder, such as spasms or epilepsy
• Guillain-Barre syndrome within 6 weeks of the prior dose (The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke define Guillain-Barre Syndrome as "a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. The first symptoms of this disorder include varying degrees of weakness or tingling sensations in the legs. In many instances, the weakness and abnormal sensations spread to the arms and upper body. These symptoms can increase in intensity until the muscles cannot be used at all and the patient is almost totally paralyzed. In these cases, the disorder is life-threatening and is considered a medical emergency."
• Temperature above 105 degrees within 48 hours
• Collapse or a shock-like state within 48 hours
• Persistent, inconsolable crying lasting longer than 3 hours and occurring within 48 hours

Contraindications, or circumstances which mean that an individual should not receive the DTaP vaccine, include the following:

• Latex sensitivity or allergy (parts of the syringe contain latex)
• Moderate to severe illness, with or without a fever
• Bleeding disorders such as hemophilia

          The DTaP vaccine package insert specifically states that "INFARIX has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility." This means no one knows if the DTaP vaccine causes cancer or interferes with fertility, and that no study has been conducted to try and find out.

          The following conditions are listed as adverse reactions on the DTaP vaccine package insert. The manufacturer includes many qualifiers, including that some of these reactions are voluntarily reported and so they can neither prove nor disprove that the vaccine actually caused them.

• Redness 
• Swelling 
• Pain 
• Fever 
• Fussiness 
• Drowsiness 
• Poor Appetite 
• Vomiting 
• Persistent crying 
• Seizures 
• Hives 
• Swelling of the Mouth 
• Difficulty breathing 
• Hypotension 
• Shock 
• Brachial neuritis 
• Guillain-Barre Syndrome 
• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome 
• Cyanosis 
• Diarrhea 
• Intussusception 
• Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura 
• Lymphadenopathy 
• Thrombocytopenia 
• Anaphylactic reaction 
• Hypersensitivity 
• Cellulitis 
• Limb swelling 
• Convulsions 
• Encephalopathy 
• Hypotonia 
• Hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode 
• Somnolence 
• Irritability 
• Respiratory Tract Infection 
• Erythema 
• Pruritus 
• Rash 
• Urticaria 
• Ear pain

Remember, when looking through this list of DIEs, that the vaccine is given to babies from about 3 months old.

Every parent must now ask their doctor about these adverse reactions and whether the vaccine is worth the risks clearly involved.

The vaccine is supposedly (the issue of its lack of effectiveness has not been mentioned here) protecting babies from Diptheria, Pertussin (Whooping Cough) and Tetanus, all conditions that children can be protected from more safely with Homeopathy.


UPDATE 27th August 2016
The Natural Health website has produced a video, which shows that the DPT vaccine called Tripedia has also caused a large number of serious diseases, including “idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, SIDS, anaphylactic reaction, cellulitis, autism, convulsion/grand mal convulsion, encephalopathy, hypotonia, neuropathy, somnolence and apnea.”.

Who says so? The USA drug regulator, the FDA, says so! The Patient Information Leaflet that accompanies each Tripedia vaccine also confirms it, so please watch this video for more information.

Whooping Cough

Whooping Cough, or Pertussis, used to be a killer disease in the 19th Century. However, with better living standards, improved diet, better housing, the disease declined throughout the 20th century. Much of the credit for this decline has been wrongly claimed and attributed to conventional vaccine treatment, but the decline in Whooping Cough was happening long before the vaccine, and the decline continued, unchanged and unaffected, after the vaccine was introduced.

Now, however, in the 21st century there are signs that it is now re-emerging.

Indeed, the re-emergence of Pertussis has taken place mainly in countries where conventional vaccine treatment (usually the DPT vaccine) has been most evident, notably in the USA and Britain. Yet all the conventional medical establishment seems able or willing to do, when faced by these new outbreaks, is to urge people to have the vaccination - even pregnant women it would appear! But before pregnant women, or indeed anyone else, does so we should examine the evidence first - particularly the evidence that our doctors, ConMed generally, and even, sadly, our mainstream media, will almost certainly not tell us about.

First, it is now apparent that those being affected by the new outbreaks of Whooping Cough are those who have already been vaccinated. Those of us who have not been vaccinated appear not to be affected. See these links for more information on this.

* Worst whooping cough outbreak in over 50 years happening among the fully vaccinated
* Whooping Cough Outbreaks in Vaxed Children More and More Frequent
* Whooping Cough May Spread Through Vaccinated Populations

Indeed, it has been shown that vaccinated children account for some 90% of those getting Whooping Cough in these recent epidemics. In other words, we are all safer from the disease if we don't accept conventional vaccine treatment!

* Recent Evidence Shows Vaccinated Kids Account For 90 Percent of Cases of Whooping Cough

What this clearly shows is that the vaccine is not working.

It has probably never worked, as I have already noted that the 'decline' in Whooping Cough cases was happening for nearly one hundred years before the vaccine was introduced.

* Major Whooping Cough Epidemics – Vaccine Not Working. Child Health Safety
* Outbreaks Proof That Whooping Cough Vaccines Don’t Work. International Medical Council on Vaccination

Yet it would appear that another story is beginning to emerge too. The Whooping Cough strain giving rise to the new epidemics, after years of suppression through the DPT vaccine (and its successor, the so-called 5-in-1 vaccine, has changed. And it is now more virulent, more dangerous than every it was before.

So Whooping Cough is now killing people again. Even BBC News appears willing to admit this, although as usual they fail to inform their viewers, listeners and readers the full story about the disease, and the problems created by conventional medical vaccnine treatment.

* Five-year-old girl dies after being given just twice the normal dose of over-the-counter cough medicine

So the failure of conventional vaccines is not just that they do not work. They actually make the problem worse. 

Just as antibiotic drugs in recent years have created numerous deadly 'superbugs' they can no longer deal with, vaccines are getting progressively less effective, and leaving us with more deadly strains of the disease.

In other words, the war being waged on disease is being lost, conventional, drug-based medicine is failing.

So desperate is the conventional medical establishment becoming, there has even been an admission that vaccine treatment has failed!

So what should we do if we contract Whooping Cough?

First, we should not get embroiled in the panic of conventional medicine. Whooping Cough can be a killer disease for people who are living in poverty, with a poor diet, and inadequate housing conditions. But it is not usually a disease that kills healthy, fit individuals. I remember my mother being involved in parties for young children during outbreaks of childhood diseases, including Whooping Cough. The basis on which parents used to do this was that disease is usually experienced in a minor form, and contracting the disease naturally provides a more 'natural' immunity.

Yet when someone does contract the disease, there are lots of ways to limited its impact, and speed recovery. Even something as simple as Vitamin C is known to be helpful.

But Homeopathy, above all, is a therapy that deals calmly, effectively and safely with Whooping Cough (as it does for other childhood diseases). Reading this, and the following articles will tell you why, and they also mention a number of remedies that have been successfully used for treating this illness for over 200 years now.

Indeed, as this article says, Homeopathy treats Whooping cough dramatically more effectively than conventional, drug-based medicine.

All the dangers of the DPT and '5-in-1' vaccines have not been considered here. But they have been known for many decades. The dangers of the DPT vaccine, in particular, has been know for many decades now. Harris L Coulter, and Barbara Loe Fisher wrote their book "A Shot in the Dark. Why the P in the DPT vaccination may be hazardous to your child's health" over 20 years ago, in 1991. The 'P' stands for Pertussin!

The conventional medical establishment, however, continues to ignore this, and present us with vaccines they continue to tell us are safe and effective.

You should make your own judgement on this, after considering the evidence.
