Flu, Pneumococcal vaccine increases risk of febrile seizure

Children 6 to 23 months of age who receive trivalent inactivated flu vaccine (TIV) concurrently with the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) are at increased risk of febrile seizures, according to researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta and Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Frank DeStefano, MD, MPH, director of the CDC’s Immunization and Safety Office, and Grace M. Lee, MD, MPH, assistant professor of Population Medicine at Harvard Medical School, presented their findings at a recent meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in Atlanta. DeStefano noted that fever after vaccination is common and might increase the risk of febrile seizures. He estimated that when given concurrently, TIV and PCV13 might account for approximately 60 seizures per 100,000 children and that such seizures typically occur the day after vaccination.

Vaccine Pushed on Infants Causes Drug-Resistant Pneumonia: JAMA Study

**Just ANOTHER case of the vaccine causing the disease worse than what it is supposed to protect against (see Polio Vaccine for an example). Of course, the only time this is admitted to the public is when they have a suitable replacement and the damage has already been done. This really should underscore for everyone why vaccines are such a bad idea. It is an unscrupulous business first and foremost and they care NOTHING about the end user.**

Aside from the direct risks of vaccination, yet another is now clearly documented: drug-resistant forms of the diseases.

A drug-resistant strain of pneumonia is the result of a highly-praised vaccine routinely given to infants three times in their first year of life, according to a study that will be published in tomorrow's Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The timing of this study is particularly interesting, as it comes shortly after the replacement of the heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-7) with an updated version, PCV-13.

Babies given pneumococcal vaccination risk infection with serious drug resistant respiratory disease

**I can tell you my personal experience with this matches the findings of the study. I have 4 kids, and the first two were fully vaccinated because, even though I knew better, we caved to the pressure of vaccination from the Doctors. My first two girls were the picture of sickness and Ear Aches were VERY common. My last two kids have not received one vaccine and they also have not had any ear infections and almost never get sick. I really regret vaccinating my first two kids because I do not know what will manifest itself later in life.**

(NaturalNews) We've all heard the arguments, supposed solid evidence and near hysteria about the importance of vaccinating children to protect them from diseases. Unfortunately, not only are there sometimes serious side effects associated with many vaccinations (http://www.naturalnews.com/vaccines...) but now it turns out that infants who receive vaccinations to protect them from ear infection and sinusitis are more likely to come down with what can be a dangerous form of an antibiotic-resistant infection.
