Rotavirus vaccines win global recommendation

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that health authorities in all nations routinely vaccinate young children against rotavirus, which causes 2 million hospitalizations and 500,000 deaths from severe diarrhoeal dehydration every year.

Rotavirus vaccines are already recommended for use in the Americas and Europe. But more than 85% of deaths caused by rotavirus occur in developing countries in Asia and Africa, says the WHO.

The recommendation was made by the WHO's Strategic Advisory Group of Experts, which reviewed a clinical trial of GlaxoSmithKline's Rotarix vaccine in South Africa and Malawi that cut the occurrence of severe diarrhoeal episodes. RotaTeq, a rotavirus vaccine developed by Merck, is being tested in clinical trials in Japan, India, Mali, Ghana, Kenya, Bangladesh and Vietnam.

And now, today, 9 months later, we read:

Rotarix rotavirus vaccine contaminated, officials say

The vaccine is contaminated!

"Rotavirus disease kills more than 500,000 infants around the world each year, primarily in low- and middle-income countries"

But these rotavirus-contaminated vaccines are "safe". Imagine that! Contaminated, but safe. But, meanwhile, they're suspending use.

Why did it take a research team to discover this, instead of GlaxoSmithKline? The answer: $$$. They didn't want anything to stand in the way of their making the big bucks.

This is why I'm against forced vaccinations, which I'm sure will be coming, thanks to CommieCare.

I guess we as parents won’t get a voice in whether to vaccinate our children or not under Obamacare, huh?

Thanks for the Ping, Joe! I appreciate it.

"I guess we as parents won’t get a voice in whether to vaccinate our children or not under Obamacare, huh?"

We miss the liberal's mindset when we think "OUR" children. They think of them as the STATE'S children. Only a resource.

I hate that I have to twist my brain so far to try and understand them. And I hate what I see when I do!

Yep...it’s on Drudge. They can’t seem to figure out how they became contaminated. Hmmm.

Ping :

And the NIH released a study in 2004 that said:

“Infection of PCV1 was observed with 293, Hela and Chang liver cells, infection with PCV2 only in Rd cells. In addition, religated viral DNA of PCV1 and PCV2 has been used to transfect adherent human cell lines.”

My BS meter is on the rise. “Don’t worry parents” should be “Oh Sh*t how are we going to monitor the 31 million children who could have issues.”

They do not have a clue on the how to of most projects, it is the ‘do it my way’ crowd, a lie is as good as the truth.

But it will work 2 ways, if they loose part of the their mental abilities, they will then be almost robotic workers, doing as they are told.

And never forget that the left thinks we have too many people on earth, so why not kill off a few more....
[that is very bitter and sarcastic....
