Secret Report
Reveals 18 Deaths
Following
Vaccinations
A secret government
report has revealed that
eighteen babies and
toddlers have died
following childhood
vaccinations.
The report details
how one baby suffered a
cot death and 2 more
infants died after their
MMR jab in 2001, but the
cause of death in these
cases is unknown.
There is a fear that
children are getting too
may vaccines. The
Department of Health
announced, in February,
the introduction of a new
vaccination for the bug
that causes meningitis. So
by the time a child is two
they will have been given
a total of 25 vaccinations.
Experts said that
the true figures for deaths
and serious side effects
could be much higher than
those reported.
Doctors say that a
lot of reactions to the
vaccine cannot be
explained. It may be due
to the infant having an
infection before they got
the jab or something in
their genetic make-up or
sometimes an allergic
reaction.
UK-wide the takeup of the MMR jab fell to a
record low between July
and September with a
coverage rate of just
84.2%. The recommended
rate is 95%.
The BBC has
uncovered disturbing
evidence that some
doctors are bullying
parents into giving their
children the combined
vaccine.
Doctors receive an
extra payment if they meet
targets for vaccinating a
high proportion of patients.

Demand for
Single Measles
Jab Soars
There has been a huge rise
in demand for the single
measles vaccine in the UK
after concern over the
safety of the MMR vaccine.
According to the
Medical Controls Agency
there was 9 times the
take-up of single measles
vaccines between MayDecember last year
compared with the same
period the previous year.
Demand is so high that
clinics are reporting a
worldwide shortage of the
vaccine.
The single vaccine
is instead of the combined
vaccine of Measles,
Mumps and Rubella which
is said to have been linked
to autism.
Japan stopped using
the 3 in 1 MMR jab in
1993as they thought it
linked to Meningitis.
Japan used a
slightly different type of
vaccine from the one used
in the UK
Friday 23rd June 2002
The UK MMR
vaccine has been linked to
autism and bowel
disorders but the medical
establishment says such a
link does not exist.
Professor
Donaldson said research
suggesting that the
measles virus was found in
the guts of autistic
children was "riddled with
flaws".
Splitting the
vaccines would mean six
separate jabs instead of
one.

Children Ordered
by Court to
have MMR Jab
Tuesday 3rd May 2002
A high court ruled
yesterday that two girls
were to be given the MMR
jab despite the objections
from their mother.
Mr Justice Sumner
told the mother that it was
in her children’s best
interest that her children,
one 10 and one 4 should
be vaccinated.
He dismissed
evidence of possible links
between the vaccine and
autism and bowel disease.
He also said that
the risk of the vaccination
were small compared to
the risks of the diseases
they stopped.
He ruled
that the combined three in
one jab had fewer risk
than giving the Measles
Mumps and Rubella jabs
separately.
The Father of the
children took the mother
to court to enforce the
vaccination as the couple
were divorced and the
mother refused to allow
the vaccination.
The judge ruled that the
decision was in the best
interests of the children even
though it distressed the mother.
While the government,
doctors and medical groups
were pleased by the decision,
many said that the courts
shouldn’t intervene in such
affairs.
The mother made a
statement outside the court,
saying, “I think this ruling is an
outrage, you should be able to
make your own decisions about
your own children. Who is
willing to take responsibility if
something goes wrong? Not the
judge, vaccination company,
doctor or the father.”

Research Clears
MMR
The expert whose
research shows no link
between MMR and autism
says he hopes his findings
will put an end to the
controversy over the
vaccine.
It has been
suggested that the MMR
vaccine had caused a
particular form of autism known as new variant
autism - in which children
deteriorate over time and
suffer bowel disorders.
Measles is
potentially dangerous in a
very small number of
cases - it can lead to
pneumonia or brain
swelling.
The measles,
mumps and rubella triple
jab was introduced in
1988.
The researchers
say if there was link
between MMR and new
variant autism, there
would have been an
increase in cases of new
variant autism after that
date.
Tuesday 27th June 2006
Autism showed to be
just as likely among children who
did not receive MMR, or to have
surfaced in children before they
were vaccinated.
This is the third time
the researchers have conducted
a study of this type - on each
occasion for a longer period.
Each time, the results have been
the same.
Professor Brent
Taylor added that there was "no
relation whatsoever" between
MMR and autism, and a "huge
amount of good evidence that
there's no relation".

MMR Jab
Defended
Friday 4th December 2002
The government's chief
medical expert has
defended the controversial
MMR vaccine as a safe and
effective way to protect
children from disease.
Professor Donaldson said,
“Not vaccinating would
literally be playing Russian
roulette with our children's
health, and that would be an
irresponsible and
unacceptable way to run a
programme which is meant
to be protecting children's
health."
Before MMR was introduced
14 people died of measles a
year in England and Wales.
Today measles is nearly
eradicated from the UK. But
as more and more parents
are refusing to give their
children the MMR vaccine,
the children are at more risk
of becoming very ill from the
diseases.
Tony Blair has given his
strongest hint yet that his
baby son has had the
controversial MMR triple
vaccine as he attempted to
rest fears over its safety. He
said he hoped people
realised that he would not
ask or advise them to do
something that he believed
was dangerous to his own
child. Mr Blair told MPs the
triple vaccine had been
cleared by the British
Medical Association and was
in use in 90 countries around
the world.
A Health Department
spokesman said that if
numbers fell below 95% of
the population we would not
keep our "herd immunity".
Which means that measles
could again have the
potential of spreading across
5
the UK, causing serious
illness and possibly death.
MMR 'cleared' of
autism link
Friday, 9 February, 2001
A major study suggests
that the high rate of autism
in recent years is almost
certainly not due to the
MMR injection.
The research could
help government ministers
trying to stop parents from
opting out of the vaccine
in large numbers, because
they are unsure how safe
it is.
Another study that
the government are going
to debate on is from Tory
MP, Julie Kirkbride, who is
calling for the introduction
of single jabs for measles,
mumps and rubella.
One of the
strongest arguments
linking the jab to autism
has been the fact that the
number of diagnoses has
spiralled upwards since
the late 1980s - around
the time that the combined
measles, mumps and
rubella vaccine was
introduced.
However, a major
statistical analysis of UK
children, published on the
website of the British
Medical Journal, has found
that there appears to be
no clear link between
MMR and the rise
Dr Hershel Jick,
said “We have no idea
what's causing it, but it
isn't MMR."
He also said that he hoped
the research would
provide extra reassurance
for parents.

Children infected
at 'measles
parties'
31st October 2003
Opponents of the measles,
mumps and rubella (MMR)
vaccine have set up a
network of parents to help
each other's children catch
illnesses.
They believe that
by exposing the
youngsters to the diseases
they will build up their
own resistance to the
bugs.
At least 500 sets of
parents are said to be
linked by the informal
network - and each is
ready to attend "measles
parties" where families
can meet those infected
with the illnesses.
However, the
government has warned
parents against ignoring
the vaccination scheme.
Mother-of-two
Lesley Dove, from
Harrow, Middlesex, is
refusing to have her
children treated with the
MMR vaccine. Instead she
lets her children mingle
with youngsters who have
come down with
infections.
Ms Dove, 36, added: "This
is the way it was done
until the days of MMR
vaccine. "When I was at
school we all just caught
these illnesses and got
over them and developed
our own immunity to
them."
The diseases these
vaccines protect against
are potentially very
serious. Measles can
cause pneumonia, brain
swelling and even death

Autism levels are
'ten times higher'
According to the research
autism levels have
increased ten-fold over
the past decade,
Some people have
linked the increase in
autism to the MMR jab, but
others feel it could be
linked to a number of
environmental factors.
The Autism
Research Unit, which is
part of the University of
Sunderland, said it was
unable to rule out a link
between the MMR and
autism.
And researchers
called for further
investigations to look at
what is causing the huge
increases.
He said: "We have
been doing research for
many years with the 6,000
people in our database
where we have looked at
dates of births of people
with autism to see if there
is a large increase.
18th September 2002
"Our early data shows that
there are a 10 times more
cases of autism than 10
years ago.
The National
Autistic Society said the
research was
"interesting", but said it
was difficult to record
autism figures as there is
no central data base.
Autism is a lifelong
developmental disability
that affects the way a
person communicates and
relates to people around
them.
Children and adults
with autism are unable to
relate to others in a
meaningful way.
Their ability to
develop friendships is
impaired as is their
capacity to understand
other people's feelings.
Researchers called
for further investigations
to look at what is causing
8
the huge increases.
