Guest guest Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I recall several years ago the Gerbil admitted for the first time (as a spokesperson for the CDC) that the DTwP was indeed assicuated with infant mortality but that the DTaP was not and neither was associated with onset of seizure disorder. This was a real watershed moment, because for at least 15 years the CDC had been adamant that DTwP was NOT causing children's deaths, despite the Industry's research (including package insert disclosures), the research that went into Shot in the Dark, and COngress' response to industry concerns about liability, because all parties on the inside were fully cognizant that the pertussis toxoid did indeed kill some of the infants it was used on, for reasons never disclosed or researched (which could have lead to " legitimate " medical exemptions for those same infants). Now, after Dr has left the CDC for her industry payoff for all her hard work, we find out that previous criticisms about the DTP (in either form) causing the onset of seizure disorder were in fact on the money. Surprise surprise. I personally would like to see 2 studies conducted before we dismiss this new admission as irrelevant to compulsary vaccination. I would like to see a large study conducted among people under the age of 30 who have had ongoing seizure disorder to see what the percentage of vaccinate/unvaccinated are. IF the same percentage of people with seizure disorder are unvaccinated as the general population, then I would like to see several of the " pockets " of unvaccinated children studied to see how many of them have seizure disorder and then compare that to the percentage of overall society who have seizure disorder. And I do not mean cherry-picking the test populations to support a predetermined outcome and then hiding the datasets from independant review.
