BL Fisher Note:

Every day that government health officials lie to the people about

vaccine risks is one more day that the public loses a little more trust in

what they are told by government. Do public health authorities and

pediatricians really think that mothers and fathers are going to passively

accept the brain damaging and killing of their children with unsafe

vaccines? Do they really believe that the letters written after their names

will protect them when the public knows the whole truth about what they have

done to so many innocent children around the world?

Little 17 month old Duncan and Fisher died 10 days after

their MMR vaccinations in Great Britain, both of them suffering symptoms of

vaccine reactions prior to their deaths. MMR vaccine is known to induce

brain inflammation and death within 8 to 14 days after vaccination.

The parents of both dead babies are demanding answers from British

government health authorities, who have been persecuting Dr.

Wakefield for his warning about the dangers of the live MMR vaccine. They

and parents like them are standing up and coming forward to witness what has

happened to their babies at the hands of pediatricians who told them that

vaccines, including the MMR vaccine, are absolutely safe.

The vaccine deaths of these babies might have been prevented if

and 's parents had been given full and accurate information about MMR

vaccine risk factors and pediatricians had erred on the side of caution

rather than vaccinate at all costs. The rabid zeal to vaccinate, encouraged

by government health officials, puts many vulnerable children at risk and

the result is the brain damaging and killing of children like and

We won't allow MMR cover-up say parents of tragic toddlers

By SUE CORRIGAN,

The parents of two healthy toddlers who died ten days after being given the

controversial MMR jabs have warned the Government that they will not allow

the cause of their deaths to be 'covered up'.

Doctors say they cannot explain why Fisher and Duncan, both aged

17 months, died in their sleep.

But the children's parents believe that the controversial triple jab -

against measles, mumps and rubella - is to blame.

and Fisher, from Cheltenham, and and Duncan, from

Cardrona, Scotland, say that if British health authorities do not give them

answers they will send brain tissue samples from their children's bodies to

a specialist laboratory in America for analysis to determine whether the

live viruses in MMR did cause the deaths.

and had been healthy toddlers when they died. Cot death has been

ruled out because both children were more than a year old and blood found on

's lips suggested she had an epileptic-type seizure just before death

which does not occur in sudden infant death syndrome

The only indications of ill-health before the children died were that both

showed signs of apparently minor reactions to their MMR jabs.

's mother, , said last week that despite repeated Government

assurances the vaccine is safe,she and her husband were '100 per cent sure

was killed by MMR'.

And 's father, , said he and his wife would 'never forgive

themselves' for not paying privately for single jabs and for believing

Government assurances that MMR was safe. They now believe that the doctors

should have spotted and warned of the dangers.

Mr Duncan said that, having conducted extensive research since 's death,

he and his wife, who is a nurse, considered it possible that their daughter

had died 'as a result of a catastrophic reaction to the vaccine'.

He said: 'Six days after her jab, developed purple spots on her body

and bouts of high temperature.

'We read only later that these were side-effects of MMR to watch out for.

'If we had been properly warned we would have taken her for medical help

sooner. But the risks of vaccines are just never mentioned.

' had been exposed to an outbreak of chickenpox in our village just

before her jab, which we mentioned, and had a runny nose, which means she

really shouldn't have been injected with MMR at that point.

'Parents should be better informed about the risks and the choice of single

jabs should be available to all parents through the NHS.'

Mrs Fisher also believed her son should not have been given the jab.

was due to have his first MMR jab in September last year but it was delayed

when he developed a high temperature and, when taken to the doctor, had a

convulsion in the surgery.

She said: 'It was extremely frightening, but the doctor assured me it was

not uncommon, nothing to worry about, and gave him antibiotics. soon

got better, and I thought nothing further of it.

'But since his death I have learnt that if a child has any history of

convulsions or fits then doctors are supposed to take that into account when

administering any vaccine and watch the childmore carefullyfor adverse

reactions.

'No one mentioned this to me when I took him along to the same surgery four

months later for his MMR, and I had no idea he was at any increased risk.

'I feel very let down. I'm not against MMR, even now, but parents should be

made aware of the risk factors.

'I am speaking out to warn other parents to take more care if their child

shows any signs of adverse reactions.'

Since 2002 the Government has spent millions of pounds attempting to shore

up public confidence in the vaccine, first undermined in 1998 when clinical

researcher Dr Wakefield suggested it could cause autism and gut

disease.

The failure of the Government's campaign was demonstrated last week when

figures showed that because so many parents are spurning MMR, Britain is now

in the grip of the biggest measles outbreak since the vaccine's introduction

in 1988.

Doctors have reported hundreds of cases of measles since January in just

three areas of the country, including the death of a 13-year-old boy.

Conservative health spokesman Lansley said: 'The Government's failure

to maintain confidence in the MMR jab has led directly to these outbreaks.'

Opposition leader Cameron has pledged to restore single jabs on the

NHS.
