World War II Hepatitis Outbreak Was Biggest in History

[safeinOhio]

This is what can happen with an untested vaccine. My dad, a WWII and Korean War vet was part of this test and became infected with Hep B because of it.

BOSTON (AP) _ The hepatitis B virus was responsible for an outbreak of jaundice that struck 50,000 soldiers after they received yellow fever vaccines during World War II, a report today concludes.

The virus was long suspected to be the cause of the illness, but this was not confirmed until doctors sampled the blood of veterans two years ago. They estimate that as many as 330,000 soldiers may have been infected with hepatitis B spread by tainted vaccines, making it the biggest such outbreak ever recorded.

The outbreak was blamed on yellow fever vaccine that was made with human blood serum. Some of the blood serum was contaminated with hepatitis B.

The researchers estimate that 427,000 doses were drawn from the contaminated lots of vaccine. Perhaps 330,000 men were infected with or exposed to the hepatitis B virus over a six-month period in 1941 and 1942, and about 1 in 7 of them became sick.

1. and Fords roll out of the Swine flu vaccine in '76 for political gain..

..and the cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome that followed.

I will take the vaccine that Fauci takes..and when.

4. Actually GBS is a potential but very rare possibility with the flu vaccine. Anyone who has

ever been vaccinated for the flu the consent form one signs lists it

2. Ask Gulf War Vets about tainted vaccines

Some 20ish years ago, I'd fallen asleep with C-Span on. I awakened in the wee hours to a hearing on this topic.

A blond woman, presumably a doctor or spokesperson was visibly laughing & said, "Oh, yes, the vaccines were contaminated."

Afflicted vets suffered identical symptoms to those of lyme disease.

Coincidence? I highly doubt it.

No thanks, chumputin.

3. This was due to the blood serum that the yellow fever vaccine was made with, and that serum

was not tested for hepatitis or other pathogens

The vaccines in development for SARS co V2 are not being made that way. While there may be safety issues, it won't be from contaminated lots of blood serum to make the vaccine, because that is not how the SARS co V2 vaccine is made
