Japan reports sixth infant death after vaccination


Japan's health ministry on Thursday reported the death of a sixth infant who recently received vaccinations made by Pfizer or Sanofi-Aventis that have been suspended since last week.

The ministry said the unidentified boy, aged between six months and one year, died seven days after receiving Sanofi Pasteur's ActHIB in combination with a DPT shot for diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus on February 15.

The latest case followed the ministry's earlier reports that five infants under three years old had died since early February after receiving the vaccinations alone or in combination with other drugs.

At least three of the six infants suffered from known pre-existing heart conditions and other illnesses.

1. I wonder where the drugs were manufactured?

The article only says where the companies are headquartered, which bears no relation to where the drugs were made.

2. come now, we "know" vaccinations aren;t dangerous.

I mean, the government said so.

6. Well them, and thousands of scientists

but those scientists were trained in public universities! Or at least went to public school at some point.

Meaning they work for the government!

3. Hey, you didn't print this paragraph....

... because I realize only 4 paragraphs are allowed. But maybe this is important to those who like to make sarcastic remarks on how and who says vaccines are safe.

from the article: (emphasis mine)

A group of medical experts have said they were not able to identify a specific link between the deaths and the vaccines and the ministry is conducting detailed investigations.


And there's this story from a couple of days ago...linked from the article sited above:

Japan panel finds no link to vaccines, deaths

which goes on to say:

A panel of experts at Japan's health ministry found no direct link between vaccines made by Pfizer Inc and Sanofi-Aventis SA and the deaths of children, but said further checks were needed, Kyodo news agency reported on Tuesday.


So....be AFRAID! even though no link has been established and vaccines have been way more helpful than harmful for over 100 years now.

4. a couple of days ago, two other kids hadn't died

and yes, a panel of experts originally exonerated the pharma boys.

And now two more kids have died.

so we'll see what happens.

So... TRUST BIG PHARMA! No matter what! Under any and all circumstances! Whatever they say... believe it!

7. I wonder if they also drank milk?

As long as we're looking for correlations.

8. Not finding a link isn't proof that a link doesn't exist.

That's basic logic.

10. K&R

Vaccines may or may not be safe. Haven't really investigated the issue to decide.

- However there is one thing I do know. Anyone who thinks that BIG PHARMA can be trusted is a damned fool......
