BL Fisher Note: This is the kind of work that needs to be done to identify

genetic and other biological high risk factors for adverse responses to

vaccination so the vulnerable can be identified and protected from harm. The

National Vaccine Information Center has been calling for this kind of

research to be done and the need for informed consent to vaccination for

more than 20 years.

A case-series of adverse events, positive re-challenge of symptoms, and

events in identical twins following hepatitis B vaccination: analysis of the

OBJECTIVES: Adverse events and positive re-challenge of symptoms reported in

the scientific literature and to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System

(VAERS) following hepatitis B vaccination (HBV) were examined. METHODS: The

VAERS and PubMed (1966-2003) were searched for autoimmune conditions

including arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, myelitis, optic neuritis,

multiple sclerosis (MS), Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS), glomerulonephritis,

pancytopenia/thrombocytopenia, fatigue, and chronic fatigue, and Systemic

Lupus Erythematous (SLE) following HBV. RESULTS: HBV was associated with a

number of serious conditions and positive re-challenge or significant

exacerbation of symptoms following immunization. There were 415 arthritis,

166 rheumatoid arthritis, 130 myelitis, 4 SLE, 100 optic neuritis, 101 GBS,

29 glomerulonephritis, 283 pancytopenia/thrombocytopenia, and 183 MS events

reportedfollowing HBV A total of 465 positive re-challenge adverse events

were observed following adult HBV that occurred sooner and with more

severity than initial adverse event reports. A case-report of arthritis

occurring in identical twins was also identified. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence from

biological plausibility, case-reports, case-series, epidemiological, and now

for positive re-challenge and exacerbation of symptoms, and events in

identical twins was presented. One would have to consider that there is

causal relationship between HBV and serious autoimmune disorders among

certain susceptible vaccine recipients in a defined temporal period

following immunization. In immunizing adults, the patient, with the help of

their physician, should make an informed consent decision as to whether to

be immunized or not, weighing the small risks of the adverse effects of HBV

with the risk of exposure to deadly hepatitis B virus.
