HEPATITIS B DISEASE AND VACCINE FACTS

People at high risk for getting hepatitis B disease (which is transmitted

by coming into direct contact with an infected person's body fluids) are IV

drug users, prostitutes, prisoners, sexually promiscuous persons and babies

born to infected mothers. (1)

90-95% of all hepatitis B cases recover completely after 3 to 4 weeks of

nausea, fatigue, headache, arthritis, jaundice and tender liver. (2)

Up to 17 percent of all hepatitis B vaccinations are followed by reports of

fatigue and weakness, headache, arthritis and fever of more than 100 F..

(3) The vaccine can cause death, according to a 1994 Institute of Medicine

report. (4)

According to Merck and Company: " The duration of the protective effect of

[the vaccine] in healthy vacinees is unknown at present and the need for

booster doses is not yet defined. "

In 1996, there were 10,637 cases of hepatitis B reported in the U.S. and

the CDC stated that " Hepatitis B continues to decline in most states,

primarily because of a decrease in the number of cases among injecting drug

users and, to a lesser extent, among both homosexual and heterosexuals of

both sexes. " (5)

In 1996, 279 cases of hepatitis B disease were reported to have occurred in

the U.S. in children under 14 years old. (5)

An historic report in 1994 published by the Institute of Medicine, National

Academy of Sciences, reviewed the medical literature for evidence that

vaccines, including hepatitis B vaccine, can cause a variety of immune and

neurological health problems. An independent committee of physician experts

concluded that there were no case controlled observational studies or

controlled clinical trials conducted on hepatitis B vaccine either before

or after licensure to scientifically evaluate persistent reports that

hepatitis B vaccine can cause sudden infant death syndrome; Guillain-Barre

syndrome (GBS) and other central demyelinating diseases including

transverse myelitis, optic neuritis, and multiple sclerosis; and immune

system dysfunction including chronic arthritis.

The IOM report concluded: " The lack of adequate data regarding many of the

adverse events under study was of major concern to the committee...the

committee encountered many gaps and limitations in knowledge bearing

directly or indirectly on the safety of vaccines. These include inadequate

understanding of the biologic mechanisms underlying adverse events

following natural infection or immunization, insufficient or inconsistent

information from case reports and case series, inadequate size or length of

follow-up of many population-based epidemiologic studies.... " (5)

There are more than 200 vaccines being created by federal health agencies

and drug companies, including Hepatitis C, D and E; Herpes simplex types 1

and 2; gonorrhea; rotavirus (diarrhea); Group A and B streptococcus;

meningitis A, B and C; and HIV for AIDS. (6)

(1) CDC Prevention Guidelines: A Guide to Action (1997); (2) on's

Principles of Internal Medicine (1994); (3) Merck & Co. Hepatitis B Vaccine

product insert (1993); (4) Adverse Events Associated with Childhood

Vaccines (1994; (5) Adverse Events Associated with Childhood Vaccines

(1994); (6) The Jordan Report (DHHS-1995).
