Interesting to note, out of millions of children who've received DPT
shots, this one parent of one child from 1961 is getting any attention
(much less credence) for a book she wrote 'claiming' her son's brain
damage is a direct result of the shot.

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

Coleah says:
(surpression of 'name calling)
1.  Out of how many MILLIONS of children who were protected?
2.  DPT is not even used anymore.
3.  The HHS doesn't back up even the 1 in a Million incidence re: DaPT
as a proven connection.

DTaP. Replaced possibly because of safety concerns,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DPT_vaccine
The "aP" referring to "acellular pertussis". (The acellular form is
considered safer and contains far fewer antigens than the older
preparation.)

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.

By this logic, anybody talking now about Vioxx is a fear monger.

OOPS! 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

WTF? Just look at the statistics from vaccine injury
compensation program.
http://www.hrsa.gov/Vaccinecompensation/statistics_report.htm

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).

Anyone who knows the true history of vaccination would run a mile when
characters like you say this is the new 'safe' vaccine.

Especially when they say DPT was perfectly safe, like Brain Deer says.  And
Coleah.

Liars should never be shunned.  Ie  you.

"Perfectly" is the key word here.  I never used that word, you did.
(If you are looking for perfection in an inperfect world, your life
will be in conflict.)

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?

Your communication skills are really lacking in clarity, John.

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)?

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.

You're not the only one.  Your experience agrees with my own

Are there other possible explanations?  Of course.  On the

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

John said "the safer DPT is DTaP".

Is that a true statement?

like debating with mud.  Still trying to get him to say what the
contradiction is in these 2 quotes:

That is nitpicking. He meant "a safer version of DPT is DTaP" which is
obviously true.

This is not an English exam, and you are not a professor.

No, it is not true.

A safer version of the Corvette is a Hyundai Excel. Think about it.

Precision in the use of language is not just a matter for English
professors (or even professors of English). And how do you know that I
am not a professor? Nine hours from now I will be teaching a class at
a college.

And a still safer version is the Fisher-Price model.

Following the logic "something different is a safer form of
something", it would be an even safe Corvette if the Fisher-Price
model was a Range Rover.

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?

I understand that it is a completely different pertussis vaccine, made
in a different way using different techniques and based on different
science.

A safer form of the AK47 is a tambourine. Think about it.

Actually, and having used both for their intended purpose, the M-16 is
far safer, for both parties.

Agreed, but you can make an M-16 even safer by replacing the ukulele
with a cauliflower.
