>Squeaky wheels don't always get the grease when it's illogical. Moron. DPT vaccine was killing at very laest 100 babies every year in the USA in 1984 and brain damaging 250:
"Dr. Kevin Geraghty, Bay Area Physicians for the Study of Pertussis Vaccines: "The UCLA study showed one in 600 kids have shock like episodes. That is not controversial......I'm convinced in my heart of hearts that 100 American infants a year are dying and another 250 are brain-damaged from DPT. I would be prepared to clinically defend that to scientists." Geraghty believes as many as one in 15,000 children suffer brain damage and as many as one in 35,000 die following DPT vaccination."---Fresno Bee, DPT report 1984. http://www.whale.to/vaccines/fresno1.html
VARES put it at 144
For DPT vaccine VAERS reports of 144 deaths per year (1990-1993) "In a year-long investigation of the Vaccine Adverse Reaction Reporting System (VAERS) operated by the Food and Drug Administration, NVIC/DPT analyzed VAERS computer discs used by the FDA to store data on reports of deaths and injuries following DPT vaccination. A total of 54,072 reports of adverse events following vaccination were listed in a 39-month period from July 1990 to November 1993 with 12,504 reports being associated with DPT vaccine, including 471 deaths."
that would probably be 3% of the actual figure.
and caused 900 severe cases of brain damage in the UK (would be 4 times that USA):
"It now transpires that during the Clinical Trials children did in fact suffer severe and irreversible brain damage as a result of the Pertussis Vaccine and accepted as such by Medical Experts appointed by the Department of Health........It is now an established fact that the present figure now stands at over 900 which is an absolute disgrace in a civilised country."--M Wain http://www.whale.to/vaccines/wain.html

DTaP www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/downloads/vis-dtap.pdf
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
Severe Problems (Very Rare) • Serious allergic reaction (< 1 out of a million doses) • Several other severe problems have been reported after DTaP vaccine. These include: - Long-term seizures, coma, or lowered consciousness - Permanent brain damage.
These are so rare it is hard to tell if they are caused by the vaccine.

I was talking about concerns regarding DPT, not DTaP. Look at the vaccine injury compensation statistics at http://www.hrsa.gov/Vaccinecompensation/statistics_report.htm.
Compensated DPT claims exceed all the rest combined. So DPT was replaced with DTaP. The book was about DPT.

The Vioxx ploy. The DPT yarn is no longer applicable since DPT is no longer routinely used by physicians.
There were many Vioxx users who had previously found no relief from their relentless pain. I guess you are not a champion of choice.

LOL. And you, Mark Seth Probert are?
There are 44,000 plus claimants who will participate in sharing the $4.85 billion fund set-up by Merck & Co, the manufacturer of the pain killer drug, Vioxx. Within the 44,000 claimants, there are a number of people who may not be able to wait for their claim and may benefit from a lawsuit cash advance. The Administrative Law firm handling the determination and pay-out of the settlement claims is the BrownGreer law firm. Initial payouts from the settlement fund will begin sometime after August 2008 in accordance with the Settlement Agreement. However, you could get cash now through a lawsuit cash advance from Oasis.
JOHN - 22 Aug 2008 08:31 GMT > DTaP. Replaced possibly because of safety concerns Possibly? Only because of safety 'concerns'.
The old one was deadly but they kept it going for years due to the profit.
"For decades, American pharmaceutical companies have known how to produce the safer DPT vaccine but decided not to bring it to market because it would increase production costs and lower the drug's 50% or higher profit margins."--Money Magazine http://www.whale.to/vaccines/money_mag.html
"Drug companies keep DTP alive because it is less-expensive to make, offers a bigger profit margin and can be easily dumped on developing countries......Because many pediatricians prefer to reduce office visits by giving the combined DTP-HiB shot and because many HMOs use about 50 percent DTPH, as many as 30 percent of American infants still get reactive whole-cell pertussis."--NVIC http://www.909shot.com/gnssafet.htm
"THE Department of Health has told doctors they must use stocks of a mercury-based vaccine for infants even though it is being phased out for safety reasons."--Media Aug 2001
"Michigan had made too much DPT in its Lansing laboratory and wanted to sell it to other states. That required FDA testing and approval, as with any other manufacturer. However, the FDA denied approval and returned the vaccine, saying It was 300 percent too potent. State health officials disagreed and decided to test the vaccine on children in Ingham County (Lansing). Despite more adverse reactions than usual, health officials released 400,000 doses of the DPT vaccine for use throughout the state a month later."---Fresno Bee DPT report 1984 http://www.whale.to/vaccines/fresno9.html
similar to how they knew the MMR Urabe was unsafe but still used it:
"They began using MMR in April 1989 and by July doctors were already warning of side-effects, but the government didn't take any notice because it was not convenient for them. They kept using it for another 3 years, securing the profits for the manufacturers".---Shunsuke Fuji http://www.whale.to/vaccine/mmrjapan.html
approved it for use in the UK, after it had been withdraw in Canada:
"Up to 300 cases relate to this brand of vaccine - Pluserix - which was banned by the Department of Health in 1992 after being linked with meningitis. This was two years after an identical vaccine was banned in Canada."--Media
"In 1990, scientists from the Queen's Medical Centre Nottingham found some children developed a form of meningitis after receiving it. But despite this the Government went on using it for more than two years. The Canadian Government, also using the vaccine, immediately switched to a safer version. It was not until September 1992 that the UK Department of Health issued pharmacists with emergency supplies of a safer brand with instructions to withdraw existing batches."--Sunday Express
David Salisbury was the man who approved it, the same man who says the present MMR is safe!
In 1986 Trivirix (MMR containing the Mumps Urabe strain AM-9), was introduced in Canada to replace MMR I. Concerns regarding the introduction of MMR in the UK are recorded in the minutes of the Joint Working Party of the British Paediatric Association and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization (JCVI) Liaison Group on June 26th of that year. Such concerns were soon to prove well grounded, as reports began to come in of an increased incidence of aseptic meningitis in vaccinated individuals. Ultimately, all MMR vaccines containing the Urabe strain of mumps were withdrawn in Canada in early 1988. This was before Urabe containing vaccines were licenced by the Department of Health (DoH) for use in the UK, followed in June of that year. http://www.whale.to/vaccine/golding.html

DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis): compensated claims 1263. DTaP (diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis): compensated claims 78.
Quite a difference, isn't it?
And total compensated claims: 2233, that is 1263 for DTP and 970 for everything else (that even includes DTP-HIB).

When something works and protects the health of millions, I'd say it is safe. The very, very few who may have 'incidental' situations does not undermind the safety for the millions.
I recently discovered that silly me had been causing damage to my body over a two year period, by taking Vitamin C (to help build a better immune system and handle free radials). For most people any excess Vitamin C is just flushed. For me over time, it caused crystals and urinating blood.
Should all people stop taking Vitamin C?

First of all I am 'an individiual'....not a 'your lot' (whatever THAT is supposed to mean). Second, I was very foolish to take the amount of Vitamin C (1,000mg/ day) which I took for two years. Read my lips.....it DOES and DID cause kidney/bladder stones.
Are there people who can handle large dosages? Perhaps. Again to the point: Because "I" had a problem....does that mean Vitamin C should be banned altogether for everyone as being 'unsafe' (as you push vaccines should be)?

===================== Depends on what brand. Echinacea C premium by Standard Process Supplements is best. I have taken the 1000 mg per day for years. Furthermore, how do you know it was the vitamin C that caused your problem? Diagnosed by a contventional doc?

You may not be a person prone to forming crystaline stones from excess Vitamin C. Discovering that I AM prone, was NOT a healthy experience. Yes, I had diagonostic tests at a 'conventional' health center. Halting 1,000 mg Vitamin C supplement = Problem ceased.
Do not take very large doses of Vitamin C (4 grams or more daily) http://www.kidney.ca/page.asp?intNodeID=22132
Avoid excess vitamin C (excess vitamin C is converted to oxalate) http://your-doctor.com/healthinfocenter/medical-conditions/urology/kidneystones.html
Supplements of vitamin C at large doses - one gram a day - must not be taken by individuals affected by kidney stones or with a medical history indicating susceptibility to stone formation. It is believed that significantly lower amounts of the vitamin at 100 to 200 mg daily are safe and no medical concern need to be raised at such dosage levels. http://www.herbs2000.com/vitamins/v_c.htm

JOHN stated that DTaP is safer than DTP. You stated: "No, it's not". The VICP statistics prove his statement is correct, unlike yours. Relevance to today is a different issue that was not discussed in this thread, invoking it is a lame attempt to change the topic.

DPT (or DTP) is a vaccine that was used to prevent diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. DTaP is a vaccine that is used for exactly the same purposes and that replaced DTP because it is safer. What part of that don't you understand?
